Here is Alisha's picture. Do you like her?

~Linda's P.O.V~

So happy I have a new friend. The school is not as boring as I think it would be. I'm making new good friends. They are really nice to me especially Carey.

He is a very cool guy. He seems to be a playboy with his look and the way students stare at him but to me, he is good. Perhaps I'm thinking of him like this because he is the first boy to be my friend but I'm glad I accepted him as a friend.

It will soon be the time for the practical. I'm not really interested in taking part in this practical. I guess Carey will be the one to cover up and do most of the stuff for me. I hope he also has interest in it.

The bell rang and everyone moved to their classes. Carey and I also went together to the laboratory. We are having the practicals there. Why is he quiet. He does not always feel like this. Is he feeling bad about the way I talked to him. Was I rude, but I explained to him.

He looks as if he has something in his mind to say. Is something wrong with him. Do I really care. Its none of my ..... But he has always been so nice to me.

"Carey, are you okay." I asked tapping him. He quickly turned to me. He has something in his mind. We kept on moving and I can see and feel some students staring at us.

"Why did you ask? I mean I'm okay." He stated in a suspicious manner. Something is fishy.

"Okay." I tilted my head and we got to laboratory. Students were already seated in their appropriate seat. I'm sitting in between my partners.

The teacher came in two minutes later. This time not looking very happy. Why are some people looking worried. It happens sometimes. I turned back to look at Alisha, she is happy as usual. She has two boys as her partners. She keeps smiling at one of them.

Mr. Bob moved straight to the centre of the laboratory. No one even bothered to greet him.

"Today, we are having our practical. Stay with your partners. Work together and cooperate to get good scores." She said looking at a student who was playing with her friend as if he is a predator about to catch a prey. The class went silent again.

The practical has started. The spoon, silver rod, salt and other stuffs we need are ready. I turned to look at Carey. He also turned and he smiled at me.

"Glad you are happy now." I returned the smile to him. He has a cute charming smile. He seems to know this subject.

"You love chemistry?" I asked him while he started with the writing of observation and all those stuff.

"Yeah, its my best." He answered.

Ohh, I love this.

"Well, I don't have interest in this and I don't really know it. I wasn't listening when he was explaining." I explained and earned a chuckle from him.

"Its not a problem, I was also not expecting you to participate fully in this. It is something very simple." He said and Nelson also chuckled. Why did he chuckle. I just gave them a look telling them not to make jest of me and they stopped immediately.

Now the practical is over, there is peace now. The teacher gave us homework and just went out of the class. The bell rang signifying the end of. Chemistry class and every one departed.

Alisha came over to us. She is very beautiful when she smiles. She came with a boy holding his hand. The boy also looks nice. Suddenly, the boy ran away.

Wait, what happened?

Why did he do that?

He did that immediately he saw Carey and I. Oh, he was sent away by Carey. I looked at Carey to see him chuckling. He put his hand on the back of his neck. He just shrugged and I smiled.

So he sent him away.

"Jones, Jones." Alisha called the boy but he never answered. She gave Carey a very mean glare and went away.

Is he that overprotective? Oh wow.

"Let's go." He suggested and brought out his hand from his pocket expecting me to put mine in his. I did and we went to other classes together.

We have all classes together except geography. He said he does not like it. I know it is boring but sincerely, I love love geography. Its one of my best subjects.

Other classes were fun. I'm really enjoying this school. Mum said I will. Thanks mum. I said in my head. I know she can't hear me but I'm that weird. I'm a crazy.

I went home with him. You know who I'm talking about, he is Carey. I'm getting used to him, his behavior goes well with mine. He is a guy whose personality is easy to handle.

Why is he not asking questions today. He just keep on looking at me and smiling. I've been counting the numbers of times he has been doing that. This is the tenth time.

"What's wrong, why are you smiling like this? This is the tenth time you will do that." I said just like I'm shouting.

"What!" He exclaimed. "You are counting, I just wanted you to be the first to talk today." Ohh I get, I shouldn't have talked.

"Oh God." I rolled my eyes. "But you didn't tell me, I would have played along" I smacked him.

"Ouch, that hurts." He said acting like he just got injured with a knife.

"Really, I will do that again." As I was about to repeat it, he dodged it and I nearly fell. I got saved from falling by him holding my arm. He just put his hand over his mouth like he does not want to laugh. Then he started laughing and I joined him.

"Wait, why are we laughing?" I asked still laughing.

"I have no idea." He said also laughing.

"Okay, enough." I ordered and he managed to stop laughing.

"I have a question for you." I said.

"What is the question?" He asked raising his eyebrow.

"Who is your girlfriend?" I asked and then comes that look. "I mean we are mostly together at school and also walk home together. Who is she?"

"You wanna know her?" He asked in a teasing way.

"Yeah, of course." I replied. I really wanna know who she she is. I want to know the Lucky girl.

"I don't have a girlfriend." He stated. I started laughing like I was just told a lame joke.

"Are you kidding me? How is that possible. Wait, don't tell me you are one of the fuckers around here." I asked being serious right now. He looks like one but he doesn't behave like one.

"No, Linda. I'm not, I don't have time for that but I can, I can tell you I did have many girlfriends but currently with none." He explained seriously.

"Its alright." I stated looking at him. He feels so sorry, he must some stupid stuffs.

"Don't act like that, I don't like it." I said expecting him to change his face.

"Okay, I won't." He stated. "We are almost there." He said pointing at my house. Oh, we are already in front of the house next to mine. This ten minutes journey was fun with him. I smiled at him and he did the same. "I think I'm gonna say bye now."

"Sure, its a must." I said making some faces at him and he smiled.

"What if I don't?" He asked teasingly.

"I'm gonna give you the worst trashing of your life, you won't forget it." I explained sounding like a mother scolding her child.

"Okay, I will." He stated acting like the child. "Bye." He said

"Bye." I waved back at him.

I walked in and closed the door. As I turned back I saw my cousin, Alison sitting on the couch. Why is she here? Its not like any school vacated. Mum is not also happy either.

"Welcome, my darling." Mum said not happily. This is unusual even Alison didn't jump up to give me a hug. This is strange.

I put down my backpack and managed to give a smile.

Why is she here?

Hope its not what I'm thinking of.
