Heidi
The spray of hot steamy water did me wonders as I felt the energy trek from my hair to my body. A few minutes later, I stepped out and towelled, blow - dried my hair and curled it in a high ponytail.
I wore a dark green blouse with a dark skinny jeans, then slipped on my puma sneakers and studied myself in the mirror. Once I had finished my self - inspection, I head down.
"Good morning, mum" I greeted my mum.
"Good morning, princess. How was your night? " She asked.
"Great mum! " I told her.
"I made your favorite,mushroom omelette with chopped sweet basil on top" I swallowed the saliva forming inside my mouth just listening to her.
I sat down on the kitchen seat ready to devour this delicious meal.
"I'll be going to your grandparents today. " Mum told me.
"My regards to them and tell them I love them so much. They're still my favorite people in the world. " I wrapped up, said goodbye and left.
I met Tessy, my best friend at the car park who had just alighted from the school bus.
"Heidi! " She waved and I waited for her.
"Hey Tess. Let's get going" We walked to class.
Stopping by our lockers to take out our books the three most popular girls passed by.
"Losers" Tessy scoffed. I laughed it off and we got to class.
Ms Bricks came to class with a new student. He was very handsome with his dark brown curly hair which was styled to reveal his gorgeous face and stout body in his round neck T-shirt.
Almost all the girls drooled over him with the looks of a Zeus god.
"Ain't he hot? " Tessy said behind me and I rolled my eyes at her shaking my head.
"Good day everyone, as seen we have a new mate and I'll leave him to introduce himself"
"Hello everyone I'm Gregory Sanders from Ontario" He said. Ms Bricks gave him the seat on my right.
Seeing the daggers that were being shot at me, I mentally pitied them and laughed at them. Must they show that they're desperate?
I was asked to be his guide for at least two weeks.
"Hey, I never got your name. What's it? " He asked after class.
"Heidi" I answered "Whenever you are ready you tell me then we start"
"Tomorrow. Is it okay with you? " He smiled revealing his dimples.
I mentally slapped myself for drooling all over him. I was thankful for Tessy to come to my rescue. We left to the cafeteria.
"Can I sit with you? " He requested.
"Sure you can" I offered, seeing Tessy goggling at him as if to ask if indeed he was at our table.
Finishing up we got to our next class for a pop up quiz. After the quiz we were given the rest of the period off to break ourselves into our various study groups.
Gregory joined our study group making us three in total.
"I would be happy if we could meet after school instead for our discussion , what do you think? " He chipped in.
"It's a nice idea" I replied.
School ended and the three of us walked out of class together. He stopped by a sports car saying his last goodbye.
"OMG! He's not just got the looks but he's loaded as well. " Tessy gaped.
I rolled my eyes not moved by the display of his car.
"I don't just know why you seem so comfortable around him. You're a different kind of high school teen for sure. " She blabbed as I drove.
"I'm like you Tessy, what I have is self dignity" I cut in.
"You're not saying I'm opposite of you, are you? " She continued.
"Of course I'm not" I smiled at her.
Getting back home, I went up to shower, get myself something to eat and put on the TV to watch the recorded version of Keeping up with the Kardashians. My favorite reality show I could never miss for anything.
My phone buzzed on the table and before I picked it up it ended. I didn't recognize the caller and waited for the person to call again.
"Hello? " I said picking the phone on the third ring.
"Hello, Heidi it's Gregory. I took your number from your phone. Sorry I didn't tell you earlier. "
"Not to worry. I was a bit surprised but I'm fine. "
He finished by telling me, "Thanks, have a nice day and see you tomorrow".
This is going to be a long ride of keeping to my perfectly laid out plan.
