Mystic High Popularity Rating - Volume 1 Chapter 10 Second Run In Seven

********************************

I carefully pulled down the handle of the door as quietly as I could. Unfortunately, everyone’s eyes were instantly drawn to the two people standing at the door. The teacher who had her brown hair in a bun looked at both of us with a smile on her face and didnt seem the slightest bit angry.

“Welcome! I was wondering where some of the students were! please, have a seat!” She said smiling, while pointing to four different seats, one closer to the front of the class, a chair in the middle row next to a wall, a chair in the back and a chair right in front of the teacher.

“Right! uh, thanks.” I said. While walking toward the seat in the back, but out of nowhere, Luke zooms passed me and sits in the chair looking at me with a sly smirk. I wanted to smack him but oviously couldn’t, so I slowly turned around and walked to the chair in the middle row, near the wall. On my way I noticed a few people staring at me, I thought that it would probably be because I walked in late and disrupted the class, so I didnt pay any attention to it.

The teacher soon continued talking, I then found out that the teacher -Ms. Brown, would be our homeroom teacher and after lunch, we would come back to the class to get our stuff and head to the next class. After she finished her speech of to the class, she said we would have an ‘Ice breaker’ game so we could warm up to each other.

“Now, Class! please sit in a circle!” she said clapping her hands to get our attention. It took a few moments but soon enough the class was set up in a circle. In the circle I could see everybody ten time clearer that in my original seat. While I was looking at everyone, A girl caught my attention. My eyes widened as I mentally cursed in my head.

It was Emily

“Now! This is going to be a simple question, so I expect a simple answer.” Ms. Brown said

“The question is, what is your name and favorite color?” she asked pointing in my direction. “we’ll start on this side, and go around.” She said.

The person who was starting the circle looked shy but stood up ethier way to introduce her self.

” My name is Izzy and my favorite color is blue.”

“My name is James and my favorite color is orange.”

“My name is Jayden and my favorite color is green.”

“My name is Tyler and my favorite color is blue.” . It went on for ages until the person introducing their self was the person who was in front of me. He then looked at me waiting for me to speak, as did the rest of the class.

“My name is Sarah and my favorite color is red.” I said with a slight smile. The person next to me then introduced her self and the circle continued. Even thought I had already spoken, I couldn’t help but to notice that some eyes were still on me. I ignored it and continued listening to other people’s introductions. Soon the circle came to Luke, who looked like he was annoyed out of his wits but still introduced himself.

“My name is Luke and my favorite color is yellow.”He said. Yellow? hm. I would have thought it would be blue as well as the some of the other students. I shrugged of my guess and listened until it came to a certain someone’s turn.

“My name is Emily and my favorite color is purple.” she said. To others it might have sounded normal, but to me it sounded like a fork scratching a plate. I winced my eyes as she spoke, And looked away as though I was checking out the classroom.

After everyone was done introducing them selves, Ms. Brown stood up and told us to put the chairs back to normal because we would soon have to go to our next class. As I was putting my chair back, I felt something or someone grab it stopping me from pulling it. When I turned around to see Emily looking back at me with pure sass in her eyes.

“listen, I know your dense and all, but im only gonna say this once, Luke is mine! don’t act like you weren’t all over him walking into class! Your probably the reason why he was late!” She said, each sentence filled with anger. “Just stay away from him okay?!” she said, and before I could say something, she stormed off, grabbing her stuff and heading out the door. Soon after, Luke walked up to me curiously.

“Im guessing it had something to do with me?” he asked.

“wait, how do you- oh.” I said. Emily was screaming the entire time while she was talking to me, the whole class probably heard everything.

I felt my cheeks heat up in embarrassment when I relized that, ” she thinks I have a huge crush on you, she also thinks that you belong to her.” I said while looking away.

Luke then looked at me even closer and

raised an eyebrow while smirking.

” thinks I belong to her?” he said questionably.

I rolled my eyes and giggled, not realizing my error, ” yeah That’s what I said..” I said trailing off once I realized what exactly I said. My face got ten times redder as I processed what I just happened.

I had basically just implied that Luke doesn’t belong to Emily but me instead. I quickly shook my head vigorously.

“No! wait! I didnt mean it like that!” I said defensively trying to explain what I ment but It only made my situation worse, so I covered my face with my hands and turned away from him, praying that the bell would ring soon so I could run far far away from him. He simply laughed it off and spun me around, I was stunned and almost lost my balance but caught my self. He griped my arms softly and moved them from in front of my face. I looked up to see his ridiculous grin as if he was mocking me, I couldn’t help but blush at how close we were and his stunning blue eyes that were staring back at me. He soon backed up and patted my head.

“Don’t worry, I was just messing with you!” He said, I could tell by his voice he was trying his best not to laugh at me. I mean, if I was in his place I’d also laugh. I looked a way from him with a pout, And soon enough, he started laughing hysterically at me. As if he was on the verge of crying. I walked back to my desk and stood there arms crossed. Not because I was mad at him for laughing, But mad at my self for saying something so stupid. As soon as that thought crossed my mind, the bell rung and I was out of there. I walked as fast As I could to my next class which was Advanced Science, even though Luke and I both had that class, if I got there early enough I would be able to compose my self. Hopefully I could get there early enough to stop my tears of embarrassment from flowing down my face as I bolted for the classroom.
