Karter:

I called Mya that night and talked to her about Austin and the new school, then I finished my homework and went to bed. The morning came fast; I straightened my hair quickly curled my eyelashes and changed. I had decided to wear a light sweater with combat boots. I grabbed a granola bar and walked out to the bus. The first 6 periods went by fast; I was walking to lunch with Claire and Mary " Hey Mary wanna be my science partner?" I asked her as we turned into the cafeteria. "Of course," she said quickly but then added "unless of course Ben asks me to be his"

"Ben?"

"Oh Karter, Mary has had the biggest crush on Ben for years" Claire said. Mary just laughed and blushed. We went through the line and sat down at our table I was pretty confident Mary would be my partner in science and it wouldn't be Austin.
