Carlie found a parking spot further back and hurried up to the school. She adjusted her clothes and headed off to her first class, chemistry. She slid inside the room as the bell rang and she looked around the room at all of the people standing around, waiting to be assigned seats. She was glad she transferred in on the first day of school, instead of halfway through the school year, it would have been much more frustrating.
The teacher quieted the class down and began to read through the seating chart, putting them in rows based upon alphabetical order by the last name. Carlie sighed, Sanderson put her near the end of the list. She didn't want to be standing around looking like a dork forever. She bit her lip and as soon as her name was called she flashed a dazzling smile and walked to her seat.
"Sheldon Sands." The teacher called next.
"I go by Sands." A familiar voice said, before walking to the seat.
Carlie looked up to see the same guy that had pulled in front of her in the parking lot walk towards her. "oh great." She muttered to herself.
He smirked as he saw her. "I see your curls have settled down, that mean you're not mad at me anymore? Maybe going to take me up on that offer?" He teased as he sat behind her.
She turned around to look at him. "What offer?" She asked
"To go out with me sometime." He shrugged.
She turned around with out giving an answer, though the cold shoulder seemed to be apparent enough.
"Alright, now I'll assign your permanent lab partners for the year. We have an equal number of boys and girls in this class, so it will work out. The teams will consist of one boy and one girl." The teacher explained.
Carlie smiled slightly, there was a cute boy in front of her, this could work out and could be a great way to find an 'in' into the right crowd.
The teacher began going through the list of names of lab partners and Carlie smiled, waiting for him to announce her being paired with the cute boy in front of her, instead, she heard something else.
"Sanderson and Sands, you'll be working together."
Carlie's eyes grew wide, she hadn't even thought of that possibility. How could so many things go wrong in one day? What was it with this guy?
She took a deep breath before turning around to face Sands again, she was about to say something when the bell rang, ending the period. He picked up his books and stood up, letting her go in front of him and watching the sway of her hips with a smirk.
"This might be fun." He muttered
