Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Xander Rutter
Adin came into my room and said "come on Adeline it's time for school"
I said "do I have to go" Adin sighed and said "I know what happened yesterday was a bad day but don't let them get to you Adeline"
"Hey Adeline can I pick your outfit" Adin asked
"Sure" I said
I sighed and got up and got dressed in what Adin picked out and I've got to say it's not bad
Once I got dressed I grabbed my phone and my bag and walked downstairs. When I came downstairs I saw Adin and said "not bad on the outfit"
He just smiled and said "come on it's just us two going to school"
I was confused on where Baelfire is so I said "why isn't Baelfire coming with us"
He said "he's already at school. Said something about a quiz in Math"
I looked horrified how could I forget about the math test today. I forgot to study
When we got to school we got out and walked in Adin going to whatever class he has and then me going to Ap English.
Ainsley saw me and said "hey ready for the math test" I gave a weak smile and said "I guess"
"You forgot didn't you" I nodded
"With everything that went on yesterday I forgot and when I got home I went straight to bed"
Class started once the bell rang. We were doing Shakespeare and Mrs. Kingston said that she picked our partners and hung the sheet in the back of the room
Everyone got up except for me and Ainsley. So once everyone got done looking at the paper they all went to their partners and so Ainsley got up and looked at the paper as someone familiar came up to me
I looked up and saw Xander Rutter
"Can I help you Xander" he nodded and said yeah "we're partners" I sighed and said "okay"
After class was over I went to math class and told Ainsley I'd see her in there. She just nodded
When I got into class I took out everything that I need to study. Once the bell rang Mr. Toronto handed out the test but before we could start the Dean came in and asked if he could see me
So I got up and grabbed my stuff and walked out of the room with the Dean
When we got to the Deans office we sat down and he said "Ms. Gates your grades are wonderful keep up with the good work and since you have such a good grade in math you're moving to Ap math. If that's okay with you"
I smiled and nodded and then got up and walked to Ap math. When I got in the class I saw Baelfire, Xander and Rosalynn in this class.
The teacher saw me and said "you must be Ms. Gates welcome to Ap math please take a seat next to Baelfire"
I smiled and sat down next to Baelfire
He returned the smile and said "should've known you'd be in Ap math in no time"
I laughed and then I heard Rosalynn say "ugh what is she even doing in this class she's not even smart enough"
Baelfire heard and looked at me and said "don't listen to her. Between me and you she's not smart"
At that I laughed and got everyone's attention in class
"Since Ms. Gates wants to disrupt my class. She can come up here and be the teacher" Mr. Holloway said
Everyone except Baelfire and surprisingly Xander weren't laughing.
I looked terrified and my cheeks turned a dark shade of red from embarrassment. I looked down at my desk and said "sorry Mr. Holloway it won't happen again"
Rosalynn spoke up and said "Mr. Holloway"
"Yes Rosalynn did you need something"
"Yes I think Adeline should still get up and teach since you know she disrupted our class" She sent me an evil smile
"That's a good idea thank you Ms. Cambree. Come on Ms. Gates"
I looked at Mr. Holloway and said "but I-"
I got cut off by Rosalynn standing up and saying "raise your hand if you want Adeline to teach the class since she disrupted our class"
Everyone's hands raised except for Baelfire's and Xander's.
Mr. Holloway said "well looks like the whole class wants you to teach. Maybe next time you won't disrupt my class"
I looked at Baelfire and he gave me a weak smile and whispered "you got this"
I slowly rose out of my seat and walked up to the front. Mr. Holloway said "well go on Adeline teach the class on what we're learning"
I looked down and had tears in my eyes because I hated being center of attention
Xander saw how uncomfortable I was and raised his hand
"Yes Mr. Rutter what is it" Mr. Holloway said
"Can't you tell she's uncomfortable she doesn't like being center of attention. She said she was sorry and you still made her get up and try to teach the class when she's new in here and has no clue what we're on"
Everyone looked at Xander and Rosalynn laughed and said "What the hell Xander why are you sticking up that loser. She doesn't belong here. Look around this whole classroom is full of populars and she's the nerd. She doesn't fit"
Mr. Holloway said "go and sit down and Rosalynn that's enough"
I went and sat down and Rosalynn's words were replaying in my head
"She doesn't fit"
"She's a loser"
"She's a nerd"
Baelfire took me out of my trance and squeezed my hand
I gave him a weak smile
After class I got my stuff and was the first one out didn't want to be in there any longer
When I got to my locker I put my math stuff away and when I closed my locker Xander was standing there
I looked at him and gave him a weak smile and said "thank you for what you did in class"
He smiled and said " Just because your nerdy doesn't mean that you don't fit. I find it cute that you like all this stuff"
I smile and say " time for lunch. Bye Xander" I lower my voice and say "see you tonight"
