Emilie Albreicht took a deep calming breath as she awaits for the facilitator to reveal the last word that she needs to spell out. If she gets the right spelling, she will be this year's grand winner of Saint Therese's High Spelling Bee.
She has been the winner of this prestigious Spelling Bee ever since her freshmen year, and now that she's in her last year of high school, she wants to win the grand price again. She doesn't want to mess up with her winning streaks, so that's why there's no room for any mistakes.
Emilie lets out a small smile towards her parents, Mr. Emmett and Mrs. Lara Albreicht. Her two sisters are also at the event. Her family looked so excited and hopeful, while her sisters are giving her a "thumb's-up" sign.

While they are waiting, Emilie decided to tell Claire what happened between her and Jayden yesterday..."Whaaat?! Jayden saw that "monthly stain" on your skirt? What did you do? And what did he do?" Claire started bombarding Emilie questions.Emilie rolled her eyes heavenward, then puts her attention back to her bestfriend."I'm not yet finished with my story and you're overreacting like this.

And once she closed and locked her room's door, she decided to let herself fall on her bed, and stared at the white ceiling."I'm thankful of what Jayden did for me,but why is everyone making it a big deal? And there's no way we're gonna have a romantic relationship!" she angrily muttered.Ever since Jayden became a popular figure at their school, she feels like he moved so far way from her, living her behind. They were almost inseparable back in their elementary days, and now that they are in high school, they looked like they are total strangers."But everything's totally different now, and there's nothing we can do about it. I'll just give the jacket back to Jayden and move on. Anyway, we're going to graduate soon and we'll be walking on different paths in College."

Emilie snaps at them."You were blushing like a steamed crab awhile ago, Em." Emma answered."And it's all because of Jayden." whispered Emilie."Shut up!" Emilie hushed her sisters."Everyone, the table is now set and ready, so let's go to the dining table for dinner!" Auntie Amanda suddenly announces, much to Emilie's relief.

"It will give me so much satisfaction when I beat him on our last year in high school..." Emilie responded, while grinning from ear to ear."Okay, whatever you say, bestie..." Claire said, while shaking her head in a helpless manner.The school bell suddenly rang, signalling that their lunchtime is over.

She almost tried everything for her to fall asleep last night. She tried drinking a warm glass of milk, she tried doing a bit of exercise to make herself tired, she also tried watching some movies on the television, and last but not the least, she tried reading the most boring book on her bookshelf but she wasn't able to fall asleep.There's no use for her to stay in her bed longer. Eventhough she feels groggy because of her lack of sleep, she forced herself to get up from her bed. She decided to go out to the balcony to breathe in some fresh morning air and maybe it can help her be awake.And just like what she expected, the crisp and fresh morning wind immediately greeted her as soon as she steps out to the balcony.
