The Girl Named Charlotte✔️

Chapter 21

Charlotte's POV.
"Welcome to Volterra Private Education" The teacher says with a warm smile.

I sat next to Spencer.

"please welcome our new student" the teacher says gesturing for me to come up to the front of the class.

I turned a slight red.

"You can do this" I hear Spencer whisper.

I smiled.

Then mustered the courage and made my way to the front of the class.

"Tell us a little about you" the teacher sweetly asks.

"My name is Charlotte, and I like to read books" I said, not saying my last name.

"Now does anyone have questions? For Miss Charlotte" the teacher said.

a girl with french braids raised her hand.

"What's your last name" she sneered.

I twindled with my thumbs.

"Yes, Miss Charlotte what is it?" the teacher asked.

I was panicking I don't know what to say.

I couldn't think of any other last names... I bit my lips and looked across the room seeing the faces of my classmates.

"well then let's carry on" the teacher said motioning me back to my seat.

my face was heating up.

"Hey it's okay" Spencer says.

I heard the other kids already bad mouthing me.

I really liked Spencer.
*******
"And that concludes our lesson for today." The teacher says.

I don't think I ever got what her name was, but I stayed close to Spencer.

"Wow looks like Spencer really moves on quick" one of the boys snickered.

I looked at Spencer wondering what they were implying.

"She's new and I'm being nice" Spencer says stepping aside from me.

I didn't know how to react, I thought he was my friend.

"Guys, I was only being nice" Spencer continues to say then walked off with the boys.

I stood back looking at him leave, then he turned around mouthed 'sorry' I couldn't stay mad at him.

I just smiled, then continued to my locker.

"How come you couldn't answer a simple question" The french braided girl sneered.

I just ignored her.

She flung her hair behind her ears.

"How dare you ignore me!" she said, crossing her arms.

"Do I really have to?" I said raising my eyebrows.

"uh- yes you must! Don't you know I"m the popular girl, and I'm Chloe" she said with confidence.

I began to look around.

"What are you doing?!" she asked annoyed.

"Oh I"m trying to see where everyone is if you are so called popular" I smirked.

I clearly won.

She walked passed me and bumped my shoulders.

I sighed.

The only friend I made is Spencer...

I grabbed my book and went down to the recreation center.
