I was laying there on my bed when the alarm rang. I groaned loudly before covering my ears with the pillow and rolled onto the other side. Like an annoying person the alarm won't stop and kept going.
Stop it. Stop it! STOP THIS LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT CALLED THE ALARM CLOCK! It's annoying the hell out of me.
I wanted to cry. I almost did because of frustration. Can't a person get some sleep? I legit slept at three in the morning for god's sake!
But being an 'alarm clock' it continued ringing until I was not taking it anymore.
Frustratedly, I kicked my legs making the covers fall off of me and turning to the side I got up....Imagining I was strangling the alarm I slapped it to quiet down.
Damn you! I grumbled at the alarm clock.
After thirty
minutes, I was standing in front of my mirror staring at myself like I just returned from a war. Tired eyes. Slouching figure. Everything to complement the idea.Looking beautiful. I sure will be a good sight to look at today.
I settled for a black tank top and a pair of jeans with white canvas. I ran my hands through my black hair. I wasn't sure whether to leave them open or tie them up. Glancing at the time I cursed, "Shit." And left them open.
Who cares? It's not like I'm going for some fashion parade.
I hurried down the stairs, there in the kitchen I could see my mother's back turned to me as she hummed a song to herself while preparing breakfast. I smiled to myself.
I love her. I love my father. Heck, I love them! I love my parents so much. And the fact that they were still in love as much as they first met is the only thing making me believe in true love. And I've considered myself lucky to have them. While many of the people I've come across have had a broken family. I didn't and it was like a blessing to me.
Look at me standing here and admiring my love for my parents when seconds ago I was panicking because I running late. Which reminds me...I was running late!
I ran to my mom kissing her on the cheek while I grabbed the toast she just took out.
"It's hot Amelia." She warned me.
But it was too late already. I was already making the toast dance between my two hands.
"I'll get late mom. I am late already. I'll get going." I again kissed her on the cheek as she smiled at me. Her brown eyes sparkling.
"I'll see you after school." I yelled as I ran to the the main door.
Before stepping out I heard my mom replying, "You better get in time from school! Also take care of yourself! Don't forget to tell Anna and Stace that I said 'hi'."
I rolled my eyes with a small smile on my face before taking off running towards the school which wasn't that far. But far enough to make me late.
***
I entered the school almost panting hard. I bent down with my hands on my knees and took deep breaths.
Lifting my hand up I glanced at the time and sighed in relief. I was as usual in school exactly in time. Never in my sixteen years of life had I been late for anything. I like to be punctual. No matter where I go it's something I always abide by and maybe that's the reason why I have only two best friends, Anna and stacey.
"Miaaaaa." Anna and Stacey shouted from across the hallway excitedly. A huge grin spread across my face as I waved my hands at them.
The both of them ran towards me and before I could open my mouth to say anything else to them they shut me up.
"Listen to us... We have something very important to tell you." They squealed in my ears. Putting my hands on my ears I smiled at them.
Sometimes both of them behave just like kids making me believe that I was the only mature and sane person in the group.
"And what is that important thing?"
"There is this new boy in schoo..."
Before Anna could finish her sentence I put my hand on her mouth shutting her up.
"Mmh...mmh!" Anna mumbled.
"You are going to shut up if that 'something important to tell' is about a new boy in school."
And that's the only reason why I disliked them.
"Mmh...mmh!" Anna mumbled again.
I took my hand back allowing her to speak.
"What's your problem? No wait, let me rephrase it...what's your problem with boys?" Stace asked me.
I started walking with them walking on either side of me.
"I don't have any problem with boys, I have problem with 'I want some special treatment' kind of boys, and I don't have a problem, I hate them." I spat.
While talking, I bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry," I appologised but when I saw a boy there in front of me and a whole bunch of students behind him, I mumbled "or not." He raised his left eyebrow while smirking.
Okay now, This is the reality of life. You get what you hate the most. Just like this moment. Not just a minute ago I cursed boys of his kind and here I am standing in front of one.
"What? Is there something written on my face?" I asked frustrated.
"No." He said still looking amused
"Then why are you still looking at me. Take a move on. Come on, go."
"Hi, my name is Damien." his blue eyes twinkled.
I stared at him dumbfounded, "So? What am I supposed to do? For all I care your name could be pig and I still won't give a shit."
"Feisty...huh?" He smirked before standing straight, "But it's basic etiquette to tell your name when someone tell theirs."
"Is it? Then I'm sorry but does telling your name without even asking fall under basic ettiquette?"
"Okay.." he laughed "It's just that I wanted to know your name. That's it."
"That's it? Seriously?" I was litterally fuming right now.
"Okay chill Amelia... I think we should keep moving, I'm sure the class is about to begin." Stace said taking me by my arm and almost dragging me away, "You don't make it too obvious when you hate someone!" She whisper yelled at me.
"Yeah sure." I said moving towards my locker. I was more than happy coming out from there.
Stace and Anna moved to their locker to get their books while I took out mine.
Shutting the locker I sighed before turning towards my left. I came face to face with electric blue eyes. My breathing hitched.
Damien.
"What are you doing here?" I rolled my eyes.
"Chill Amelia." he said.
"Why should I chi-... wait wha-...how do you know my name?! I don't remember telling you." I squinted my eyes at him.
"Well I heard it while those two girls," he said pointing out Anna and stace "asked you to leave. Must admit, nice name."
"Those two girls are Anna and Stacey." I sighed, "Why don't you leave me alone? Why are you following me?"
"Woah! Take a break girl. I'm not following you. I am here to take my books for my first class." he winked at me.
I turn my gaze towards the locker beside me and sure enough Damien had it open with his hands searching for his books.
This can't happen. I wanna cry. Among the whole school. The locker had to be given to Damien?
I hate my life!

"You are such a nerd." Anna and stace complaint to me. It was lunch time and we were sitting in our usual seats. The whole cafeteria was full of people and I could hear the chitter chatter of everyone as I put the notebook aside."No I'm not!" I protested."Yeah? I don't recall anyone being stupid enough to study during lunch." Stace rolled her eyes at me."Hey! Don't say that. I'm not stupid! And what is it with you and the others calling me nerd? Let me make it clear, I AM NOT A NERD. God! Can this day get any worse?"I swear I could see Anna and Stace watching me a little scared at my sudden burst of emotions. But you can't blame me! I don't like when people assume I am a nerd, just because I was reading something or the fact that I like maths."Relax girl, we were just kidding...Not really," I glared at her at this, "but yeah, as long as you say you are not a nerd. You aren't, okay?" She paused to look at me approving her, "But who is this 'oth
I was laying down on my bed, checking my phone when I heard my mom call me from downstairs."Yeah mom?" I asked not moving from the bed."There are new neighbours in our neighbourhood. Come on down, I want you to meet this guy. He says, he goes to the same school as you. He is is your age too. Just come down, I think you'll love to meet him."I rolled my eyes. New neighbor? Same school? Who else could it be? Damien puts a check to both of them.I guess, moving in so close wasn't enough that he decided to come home and greet my mom too. We just waved our goodbyes a while ago for god's sake! And here he was already in my house.I got up from my bed throwing my legs around and descended the stairs. I was almost down when I saw my mom talking to someone."Mom?" I called her.She turned around upon hearing my voice and beamed the second she saw me, "Oh honey, you came," she moved aside as I walked down the last few steps. As soon as
"Yes, I won!" I turned towards a very excited Evan. "It's heads!" He hooted, doing a happy little dance. Damien made a face, "Fine, we'll take your car." Evan leads us to his expensive black car, letting us know he was rich. I knew already. But I wish he was as rich from heart as he was using his parents money. Upon reaching the car he turned towards me, "I'll drive..while you'll sit in the passengers' seat," then looking at Damien he added, "And as for him, he can sit wherever he wants to sit." Damien snorted, "Li is not sitting with you, and if she is sitting in there then I'm the one who's driving." "No, I'm driving and 'Li'," He said Li in quotation with his hands, "is going to sit with me." They both glared at each other. Seriously? Can't they maintain peace for like what-- I checked my watch-- about ten minutes? Is it so difficult to keep themselves from fighting? Will they only stop after I ACTUALLY start shippin
It was lunchtime. I was sitting in my seat with Anna and Stace in the corner of the room. We were just talking rubbish when Anna slammed her hands on the table out of nowhere."I am so happy!" Sheexclaimed. I could see her eyes twinkling.Did she fall in love?I looked at Stace and found her shrugging at me too."What are you talking about, Anna?" I asked her.She waved her hands-- sitting back in her seat, "Oh you foolish people," she said taking a bite of her lunch, "Of course, I'm talking about Elena not being here. Doesn't this place look like heaven to you without her?"I looked around and actually noticed the change of mood in the cafeteria. Even her friends were quiet and sitting like they didn't exist.How much I wish it stayed like this."You speak like she's never coming back," I rolled my eyes knowing the truth.She snorted, " You have no idea how much I wish that. Every time she is
I was riding a horse. The airbrushing against my face-- so soothing. There was no one to irritate me. No one to annoy me. Get on my nerves. I was finally alone and in peace. Far away from the cruel world. Wanting to live here forever until my face was splashed with water. What the heck? I snapped my eyes open and sat straight in bed while taking deep breaths. I looked around and noticed all my sheets and covers were covered in water. Not to mention that I had practically taken a shower in bed. "Good morning sleepyhead," Joey said amused grabbing my attention to him. Of course, it had to be him. Nobody hates me as much as him. Nobody would do this to me as him. I sat up straight, "You came?" He grinned and stretched his arms, "One and only." "But why?" I groaned rubbing my eyes. "To spend some time with my cousin." He stated as a matter of fact. "Spend some time," I mocked him, "more likely to torture me." "That'
I got ready to go to the fair. I didn't dress up much. Just a white blouse and black leggings. I was checking myself out in the mirror when I saw Joey entering the room from my mirror. I raised my eyebrows at him, "Well guess what? You'll have to learn how to knock on the door." He smirked at me, "Why would I? It's not like I haven't seen you naked when we were young." I snorted and smacked him on his head. "Hey! What was that for?" He complaint rubbing the back of his head where I just hit him. "That was for you being a pervert." I turned away from the mirror and was about to go and take my belongings from the bed when the door bell rang. Joey got up from my bed, "That's my call." I raised my eyebrows, "Who is it?" He shrugged his shoulder, "My date for today." I nodded. I might not like Joey. I might even want to choke him to dead but I hate to admit it that Joey is a handsome man. With hazel eyes, wel
I was sitting on the sofa with my legs propped up on the table in front of me. I was watching some show when Dad came and stood in between me and the tv. I raised my eyebrows at him in a questioning way. "Honey, your mom and I are going on a date," Dad told me. I removed my legs from the table and stood up. It was kind of a ritual for them to go on a date once a week. They were the definition of a perfect couple, making me want to have what they have someday. But if only... I would trust someone. Dad was telling me about all his plans for the date when it struck me. If mom and Dad were going out on a date that means...Oh no. Not happening. I'll have to spend the rest of the night with Joey? I don't want to. It will be hell... I can sense it. But of course, I cannot tell that to my parents and make them miss their date. I nodded at him and
I ran outside the house. Breathing heavily I reached Joey, who was… What? What does he think he is doing?He was singing while jumping. Who even does that?... Of course, Joey does that."Hey Joey, where are the keys?" I asked him. He looked at me a little dazed, "I've been calling on you from heaven and Earth, where were you?""You basically locked me out of the house, remember? So I had to stay somewhere while it rained."Damien came running and stood beside me. Joey looked at the both of us and then ran his eyes over my clothes. Then holding his two fingers at us he said, "D-Did you two just-"I cut him off, "Hell no! We didn't do that!"Damien chuckled and whispered into my ears, "You do realize you really want that, right?""In your Dreams, Calvo." I rolled my eyes at him."Oh, you don't want to know about my dreams, Li.
