Chapter 22: Same Old Question

Nancy’s POV

The bell rings, and I pack my books and papers into my backpack. I like to sit close to the aisle so escaping class is easy. Once I’m out the door, I start walking to my final class of the day: Medical Terminology.

Only a couple of seconds after I’m outside, I hear my name being called. I look around to see where it’s coming from and see none other than Carter approaching me at running speed.

I can’t help but roll my eyes. Carter doesn’t give up easily. I admire his integrity, but he needs to move his attention elsewhere.

I don’t know what propels me to, but I stop and wait for him to catch up. With the warm weather today, Carter’s in tan cargo shorts, a loose band t-shirt, and sneakers. Much like my own clothing today; small tan shorts, an old band t-shirt, and sandals.

Carter stops in front of me and takes a couple of deep breaths to even out his breathing after running over here.
