Can't Help Falling In Love novel Chapter 3

"Um...I'm a transferred student" I said to the teacher when he kept gazing at me with a what-do-you-want look.

"Oh, welcome. Hey class.. Meet..." He paused since he doesn't know my name.

"Audrey Kathleen" I told him.

Kathleen is my mom's name.

"Introduce yourself" He said carelessly.

I walked forward

"Hey everyone, my name is Audrey" I repeated.

Just so you know, the word shy is not in my dictionary.

I'm so bold and- friendly.

But as if they already knew my identity as a poor girl, only few replied back with "Hi"

"There" The teacher, whom I'm yet to know his name pointed at the back, the last seat.

"It's an empty seat, get sitted and I hope you'll get along soon with your new classmates" He said.

Hm! I hope so too.

"Hell noo" I can't believe some girls actually shouted at me.

I exhaled, ignoring them while I went to have my seat-comfortably.

**

"Hi" I said to my seatmate who happens to be a guy, a very cute guy

I love to make friends remember?

The handsome guy looked down to my hand which I offered for a handshake, then shook his head in negation and he looked away.

"I'm Audrey"

Oh, I already introduced myself.

"It's nice to meet you, what's your name? " I asked him but he gave me deaf ears.

Why am I bothering myself to make friends with him?

*

The class came to an end quite soon and I overheard the students saying the next teacher is busy and he or she won't be coming to class.

At this point, I'm beginning to miss my former school. If there wasn't a teacher in the class, someone would come out and read out romantic poems and rhythms and those with no lover would pretend to be in love.. It was fun but here, ....

Suddenly One, two, three girls walked up to me

Ok... why are these girls all gathered here in front of me? with some sort of look, angry looks!

Why? What have I done to them? Why are they upset with me and who are they?

AUDREY'S POV

Two of the girls were blonde, a red, and a pink , the other had a black ponytail..

"Ah..Hi H...Hi" I stammered.

"Huh, Hi? " The one with a red blond hair said.

"Do you want something from me? " I asked and three of them bursted into laughter as if I just cracked a joke or done something ridiculous.

"Did you hear her? She just asked if we want something from her" The one with a pink hair said and they laughed again.

Ok

"What's funny? " I managed to ask.

"What can a worthless girl like you give to us? " The black haired girl said in a harsh tone.

"Well, you are sitting close to my Simon" The one with the red hair said. Looks like, she's the boss.

"Your Simon? " I muttered. "Oh, the teacher told me to sit here" I said courageously.

Staying away from anymore trouble.

"I saw what just happened and you are still sitting here" He said.

"Yes? "I replied bluntly

"Are you out of your mind? Those girls or even the guy could harm you when they return and still sees you sitting there. And well, I don't have a seatmate if you don't mind" He said pointing to his seat which was at the centre of the class.

"And then, some girls would come here too and yell at me again right? " I said adamantly.

"I'm not leaving this place" I added.

"Hey you are a newbie.There is much you don't know, I really need to enlighten you" He pulled me by arm to his seat and made me sit next to him.

"Be my seat partner" He said.

I rolled my eyes.

Well, I'm glad someone is trying to make friends with me.

"Simon is a very popular guy" He resumed.

"So? " I shrugged.

"That's why he is so pompous and rude and so many girls drool over him" The Kyle guy said.

I gave him another eye roll "That's a lame reason, you said the guy is so arrogant ..how would some stupid girls drool over such attitude? ugh! "

"Well, as you already know this school is filled with rich students. Simon is the wealthest, his father own all the wealth"

"An over-statement obviously" I scorned. "How stupid of you, boasting about someone else's wealth" I said and he frowned and turned away.. That's because I called him stupid.

"I'm sorry" I quickly apologized.

I'm still new here, I know I'm so brave but I shouldn't start stepping on people's nerves yet.

Besides, in a class of 20 students I think...He is the only one willing to talk to me.

"I'm sorry" I repeated softly.

He smiled and turned to me not reluctantly.
