Chapter 4

"For those of you who were not introduced, this is Crystal Burchfield. Would you please stand up?" Ms. Robertson said. Crystal stood up from her seat by Alya and Marinette. She looked around at the other kids in the room. Crystal felt her heartbeat quicken when she caught sight of a cute boy in the seat row in front of her. Stop it! You are not going to fall for some boy you don't even know. She told herself. That boy reminded her of her old friend.

"Thank you." Ms. Robertson said and Crystal sat down.

Crystal took a quiet, deep breathe to calm her racing heart.

"Hey, you okay?" Alya whispered.

"Yeah. I'm fine." Crystal whispered back and turned her attention back to the lesson.
