Chapter 3

Charlotte:

"What about me?" I ask as he sits down next to me.

"What do you want to do when you are older? What is your dream? What's your most embarrassing story? I don't know, just tell me about you" Tyrell grins and I chuckle.

"Okay, so when I'm older I don't really know what I want to do. I mean, I love writing but I also love photography and engineering. Its quite a big range of different jobs but I like lots of different things" I chuckle and he rolls his eyes.

"Of course. You are a complicated one" he says with a wink and I pout at him.

"Honestly, my dream changes. I mean, I've always wished for a family and a happy life but I mean getting someone who loves you for you is good too. I also would love for there to be no hate or was in the world. It would be amazing to set aside our differences and join as one big community who do not need to judge and would just support everyone for who they are and I'm sorry I'm rambling" I say, hiding my blush with my hair.

He smiled at me, a genuine smile and I couldn't help but to smile back.

"I asked you Char. I want to know you dreams and everything like that. It's so much better than a boring "hey how you doing" conversation" Ty says and I nod, agreeing with him.

"What's your most embarrassing story?" Tyrell asked and I thought about it. Tyrell had told me a lot about him, including that his little sister lives with his aunt who is actually the receptionist here.

"There is nothing that embarrassing to be honest. The worst I've done is almost fall down the stairs at my party but that's all I can think of" I say and Tyrell raised his brows.

It looked kind of cute.

"Really? There has got to be one embarrassing thing that's happened to you" he says and I shrug.

"I wouldn't know. My parents could have but whatever" I say and he smiled at me.

"So, why did you get assigned for Mandy to walk you around?" He asked, leaning in the table and resting his head in his hands.

"Apparently she is "head girl" or something. I don't really know what head girl is" I say and he chuckled.

"Mandy basically got voted as the best person to help control the school" he says.

"Speaking of Mandy. What is your deal with her. She kept glaring at me for speaking to you" I explain and he sighed.

"She doesn't understand that no means no" he grumbles and my respect for the guy Increased.

He didn't sleep with a girl who has been trying to get him into bed which means he probably wasn't a man whore.

"I don't think she likes me very much" I say honestly. There has been nothing but constant glaring and shoves. She is lucky I actually care about my education because if I saw her out side of school I wouldn't hesitate to hit her.

"She doesn't like anyone I talk to" He says and I laugh, "no, I'm being serious. If you came to this school and didn't speak to me she probably wouldn't have a problem with you" He says and I smirk.

"So It's all your fault?" I ask with a small laugh.

"Wht? No, okay yeah, it's my fault" He sighs in defeat and I burst out laughing.

"Charlotte and Tyrell. Would you please step outside. You're disrupting the learning of other students" the teacher calls. I was currently in history, Ty and I were sat at the back in our own world.

I get up, making sure not to look embarrassed (even though I was), grabbing my bag and standing outside.

I don't like history. I don't get, I would much prefer to study geography and know how the world works and explore and know all the places.

"Are you mad? I mean, it's your first day and I pretty much got you kicked out of class" Tyrell says and I shook my head.

"Not at all. It wasn't your fault, sure you may have asked but I decided to answer therefore it wasn't your fault" I explain and he smiled.

The teacher comes outside the classroom.

"Tyrell, as you were gossiping and starting the conversation I would like you to go back in and receive your punishment after Charlotte received hers" the teacher says.

"To be fair madam, I was the one who was speaking a lot and keeping the conversation flowing so I think I should be the one who is punished" I say. Tyrell sends me a 'are you crazy' look but Tyrell hardly said anything.

"Very well, you may return to class" she says to him. Tyrell is about to protest but I shook my head as an indication of not to because I knew what would Happen.

As it was my first day, they will let me off with a warning. The most would be to make me move seats with the whole class watching.

"Charlotte, I understand that this is your first day and that you have no one so you are trying to make friends but I'll appreciate if you didn't distract other students. I don't want you to be causing hassle for other students to learn as your last head master said you were usually very well behaved until some other things began to happen at home" she says softly. So softly that I knew what has happened. She had read my report from my last school.

That made me angry. Sure, I was a trouble maker but that wasn't why I was here. I was here for a fresh start. I didn't want anything to remind me of the past. I didn't want anything to remind me of the pain I was in every single day.

"Charlotte, you are only 17. I know sometimes how it can be, I went through a similar situation to you but don't bottle it up. My door is always open of you need to talk" she says softly.

Knowing she went through anything similar to what I did, my guard immediately went down and I sighed, my shoulders relaxing.

"Thank you Miss. I just want to forget about it" I say honestly, my voice was quiet and she nodded.

"I know but it's hard to pretend and act like everything is okay when it isn't. If you need to talk about anything, you can talk about it to me" she says and i smile.

"Thank you" I say and she smiled, opening the door before turning to me.

"If you need a minute or two then you may have it. Make sure you come back in after" she says and I shake my head.

"I'll be fine to go in now" I say and she smiled before walking back in.

I go back to my seat, sitting next to Tyrell.

"Why did you take the blame?" He asked and I just smiled.

"Because what I said was true" I honestly answer.

"What was your punishment?" He asked and I shrugged.

"Nothing. I'm new so I got a warning." I say before we both decide to do our work.
