I walked into the classroom holding my binder close to my chest and kept my head down to have my hair hide my face I walked up to the teacher handing him my slip, "Carrie…" I mumbled softly and he took the slip from me placing it on the table he pulled out a pen from the small pocket on his suit jacket and clicked it writing his signature then handed it back to me. He pointed me to my seat which was right next to the boy named Scott and I felt the breath leave my lungs for a moment and my heart starting to pound faster than normal, with a gulp I took the steps to my seat and sat down slowly. I could feel the awkward stares and hear their thoughts whisper what is she wearing? it looks like she just stepped out of church. I said closing my eyes to try and block out what everyone was saying so there wouldn't be any accidents. The finale bell rang and everyone scattered to their seats as the teacher opened up the book along with the rest of the class.
Biting my lip I took a look around then slowly raised up my hand, "Excuse me?" I spoke in a soft tone every student looking straight at me and the teacher replied back, "Yes Carrie?" Well at least these people here could remember my name at my old school they couldn't remember it to save their life. "I don't have a book," he nodded, "Ah yes that's right I am sorry how about you go to the library.." Raising a brow I got up from my seat, "Where exactly would that be?" I asked and he pointed to someone to the side of me, "Scott here will show you where it's at and help you find the book." I closed my eyes taking a deep breath was this teacher serious that was not what I wanted right now, I heard Scott get up from the seat and head towards the door looking down I hurried out of the class with him.
Once the door was closed I followed behind him silent as a church mouse, he looked back to see if I was there and came to a stop so that I was now on the side of him. "Why are you walking back there? " Shrugging my shoulders I turned down the next hallway once he did, "Slow walker I guess." I mumbled in reply and continued to walk on the side of him looking down at the floor, "So Carrie? Where are you from?" Looking off to the side I cringed why must there be talking during this walk? I asked then spoke, "Maine…" I looked up to see the sign that said Library, "That's a long way from California what brings you here?" I shrugged my shoulders, "Don't know I guess just new scenery…" mumbling I stepped into the library, "Oh…." he replied back and thats when he started thinking to himself not very talkative… I accidentally spoke after I heard his thought, "It's not that I am just sure I am pretty boring.."
A gasp left my lips and I mentally kicked myself at the stupidity and he stopped in the middle of the aisle, "What? I didn't say anything…" he looked at me in confusion his thoughts going a bit crazy how did she hear that? I didn't say anything, unless I did? But I am sure I didn't… I started to panic a bit staring back at him in silence I squeezed my hand into a fist a few of the books on the shelf next to him flew off and my eyes went wide turning away I went to look at the books. "I think this one is it? is it?" I asked as he continued to stare at me slowing picking up the books that fell, "Someone must have pushed the books to far on the other side." He said as he placed them back on the shelf. I nodded lightly grabbing the book and quickly walked passed him, "Thank you.. you can go back now I can find my way to class.." I could feel my heart pounding rapidly in my chest cavity as I placed the book on the counter looking at the librarian, "This one please.."
I didn't pay attention as he walked out of the library I assumed he had left so I was in a bit of shock when he was standing out in the hallway waiting for me. Quickly looking away from him I started to walk down the hall and he closely followed, "I thought I said it was okay to go you really didn't have to stay." He shrugged his shoulders a bit, "I came all this way I should at least just go back with you… is everything okay?" He asked me placing his hand on my arm, "Slow down there did I do something to offend you back there?" I shook my head lightly with a sigh pulling my arm away, "No okay…" I was at the door of our classroom and turned to face him, "Thank you for coming with me…" I told him and looked back down walking into the classroom
