Bzzzzz! Beep! Beep! Beep! ( the alarm clock beeping )
Digital clock modern curved design with a white bold digit display standing on top of the side table beside her bed, it's 5:30 am early morning. Amber was wrapping herself under a thick white blanket, she was barely opening her sticky eyes and yearning to continue her dream and refusing to wake up. But her ears can't handle the beeping noise from the alarm clock that won't shut up, she was covering her ears and trying to reach the button of the clock and begin to open up her eyes despondently, her low spirit this morning drives her shiftless.
Today is an alarming day for her to go to school. She kept wondering about what will happen to her after the whole students found out about her and Noah sleeping together during camping time that day. Emma won't be there, she wasn't ready to go to school because her legs were unable to walk on their own yet, hopefully, they won't throw anything at Amber's new uniform and make it dirty, because she has an appointment with Ethan later on and Emma was sending her a bunch of new clothes for her to wear to school early in the morning.
She decided to wear one of them as her promise to Emma, to remain pretty constantly from now on.
So, the outfit of the day is something girly and preppy it's crisp and put-together the aesthetic includes such polished pieces as a collared shirt and khakis, along with classic sporty gear, like a tennis skirt with riding boots that look young but classic.
After spending an hour getting ready and having some flavorsome breakfast made by Lilly, she went out of the house with her new style and was looking stunning in her girly preppy outfit.
The weather is cold and gloomy, after a few steps she walked out of the house, she pulls her head up, shut her eyes for a moment, and took a deep breath, breathing in the fresh morning air, the first odor she may notice as the winds pick up and clouds roll in, is a sweet, pungent zing in her nostrils. That's the sharp, fresh aroma of the ozone-a form of oxygen. Slowly she opened up her eyes, and look straight forward with the shakes of her clenching hands, she said:
"Fighting!" with full of spirit.
At first, everyone glanced at her unexpectedly, she has no idea what was going on in their mind, she felt something odd about it, everyone smiling at her for no reason, or maybe it was just because she look different than usual. All eyes were on her, and everyone mumbled with their eyes scanning her up and down, she turned around and change another path that lead her to the classroom and she choose to walk through the garden where not many people were there, she leg in on the neatly trimmed grass that slightly damp, the dewy grass early in the morning leaves wet marks on her riding boots. At the edge of the grassland, there was standing a bulletin board where all the newspapers were stuck on it.
She saw some students gathered in front of the bulletin board and she was curious and began to wonder why many students were gathered over there, guess she had chosen the wrong way to avoid them and ended up approaching more students eventually, she was wildly curious about it and decided to drop in and checked it out to find out what was going on.
She pushed aside each student in front of her to open the way in, and as a bolt from the blue she was completely shaken up after catching a glimpse of the photos that stick on the board, a picture of her and Noah from the other day where they both spent time together eating street food, everyone is smiling at her, There were a couple of her pictures with Noah while she was intoxicated by the champagne and he bridal carry her when they left the restaurant, and the other photo looks idealistic like a couple feeding each other, her skims exactly like the sweetest girlfriend feeding her boyfriend while walking on the street. This picture was taken while she fed him tacos at the street food court, wonder who the paparazzi is?
"Oh, shit" her eyes frozen open shockingly, after what she saw in front of her.
"Hey" someone grabbing her shoulder, sounds friendly.
"He-hey what's up?"
"Great, how about you, you must be feeling remarkable, after becoming Noah's new girlfriend, am I right?"
"Wait, what, hell no!"
"Why, it's like a dream comes true Cinderella" she laughs.
"What do you mean by that?"
"That means in your dream, wake up, look at you, and look at him, your level are far away from each other so wake up!"
here we go again, Noah's ex-girlfriend Hannah Johnson unexpectedly breaks in
"Whatever you are thinking, I have nothing to do with Noah, so I'm fully awake, thanks Hannah, don't bother to wake me up ever again, and by the way look at you, you have no right to talk to me that way, you're nothing to him either, ex-girlfriend, alright, the show is over everyone, I gotta go!" Amber smashes her with her attitude, looks like she gained her confidence, it's all thanks to Emma, Applause.
Every student at school unexpectedly became so friendly towards Amber except for the mean girls Hannah and her 'BFFs' Lola and Cleo, the triple trouble.
She has no clue about what's got into them. But it's profitable for her to gain all her positive energy this morning and turn it into peacefulness, she eventually feels peace at school after such a freaking long time.
The sound of a bell ringing, it was time for lunch, she went to the cafeteria to grab some food, and again Hannah shows up as always.
"Have you lost your mind!"
"What are you talking about?"
"How dare you hang out with Noah!"
"You have no right to tell me what to do, I'm hanging out with him or not It is none of your business, mind your own business"
"He's mine, you better be careful!"
"Oh hello Hannah wakes up princess, you break up with him, don't you remember that, he is your ex now so please stop!"
"Oh you think he's gonna be with you after breaking up with me, who do you think you are, you can never take my place to be with him"
"I'm human too Hannah, but even if he asked me to be his girlfriend I would rather say no, I've got no feelings for him, not even a bit, so don't worry, just leave me alone before I lose my appetite, so, get out of my way!"
It's funny how she acts like Noah is still her boyfriend
(Amber's phone is ringing )
Shepicked up the phone,
"Hello"
"Ola weirdo, where the hell are you?"
"Who are you?"
"Who else do you think I am?"
Her eyes move toward her phone screen and an unknown number is on the display.
"You sound like Noah"
"Yes, it's me, Noah, where are you?"
"What do you want Noah?"
"Where are you?"
"Where else would I be at this time?"
"School?"
"Then, why do you ask?"
"Nothing, just checking if my stupid sister give me the right number or not"
"Ugh, what do you want?"
"You say you're gonna come over, you owe me!"
"What did I owe you, I won't come, so stop bugging me!" she hangs up the phone.
Her phone ranging furthermore, and another call is coming.
"Noah please stop calling me!"
"I'm sorry did I disturb you, I just wanted to confirm our appointment today"
Oops, it's not Noah who's calling, it's Ethan.
"Oh, no no no, please it's alright you're not disturbing me at all, I thought you were someone else, sorry, and yeah I'm coming straight away to the hospital right after school, maybe around two or three a clock depending on the traffic and I have to catch a bus, is it alright or I just follow your schedule, you decide"
"That's cool, I'm free at that time so I'll catch up with you later, see you soon"
"Alright see you too, bye"
"Bye"
She hang up the phone and go back to her class, there is one more subject for her to study,
Her eyes were focused on the board and her ears listening to the lecture while her mind is somewhere else, she kept thinking about Ethan and somehow Noah also appears in her head out of nowhere and she snapped her fingers in front of her eyes to stop thinking about them,
"Amber, do you have any question?" Mrs Clair notice her finger snap,
"Excuse me?"
"Do you have any question?" she repeated
"Oh, no Mrs. Claire, I have no question at all"
"Hmmm alright, then I'll give you a question, tell me about the function of the voltmeter in an electric circuit"
"Umm, the function of the voltmeter in the circuit is to measure the voltage drop across any appliance, the voltmeter is always connected parallel in the circuit"
"Good answer, it looks like you are in my class and paying attention to my lecture, but I feel like you aren't present in my class."
"To be honest, I wasn't on the ball earlier, so I snapped my finger to keep my eye on the ball, I beg your pardon, Mrs. Claire, for not paying attention"
"Alright, thank you for your honesty and the right answer, now please keep your eyes on the ball!"
"Surely Mrs. Claire"
"Alright students, please open page number twenty I don't want to hear any of you lack concentration in my class" she continues the class.
See you in the next chapter everyone.
