"HEY WAKE UP, IT'S ALREADY TIME FOR SCHOOL" My 16 years old Sister has been banging my door ever since she woke up.

"I KNOW!! QUIT NAGGING". This is our daily routine, well not daily we don't shout at each other when weekend comes, we just mind our own business. I roll out of my bed look at the mirror seeing morning-ugly-ass face.

"It's the first day of school and It feel sucks". I mumble at myself while I'm heading at the bathroom. Even if I'm the smartest person in the world studying is a real torture for me. I'm the first in class, so many people in my school have a thought of that I like to study.

"Eliana probably on his way to school" I started getting ready and head downstairs. I'm not the type of person to eat breakfast.

Noah<3 (7:09)

Alr. here want me to fetch u?

Elijah Lewis (7:10)

No it's okay

I walk my way to the garage with a smile on my face. Noah is my boyfriend we've been dating since our freshmen year. We keep it a secret because he said that it's unusual to see a two guy clinging to each other in public. We're always together at school pretending to be friends.

I already know my sexuality ever since I like him that day. The day I already knew that I have a thing for those people with the same gender as me. But I keep it a secret until my mom found out by herself. She saw me confessing my feelings for Noah. I even remember every single word she said to me.

"It's okay, everyone have rights to love who ever they want."

I burst into tears when i heard those words from her. My sister also console me that time, even though we always fight and scream at the top of our lungs at each other.

I hop in my car and ready to depart from my lovely-not-so-expensive abode.

*******

"Hey!" A pair of arm was in my shoulder , and a grinning face of my so-called-bestfriend are the first thing greeted me this morning. James Clarkson my good-for-nothing friend. I always ended up shouting out of shock by his greet. But now I'm already used by it.

"You have a thing for showing up out of nowhere?" A giggle is the only response I got from him.

"Hey smile some more, it's the first day of school" He looks excited, this is new side of him. From what I remember he hates school more than I do, but now... There's a miracle happening.

"You look excited? That's new" I try to ask him, if something good happen to him this morning.

"Can't I just be happy?" He look at me with a smile that could melt anything from this world. "That's a miracle James Clarkson getting excited for school? Might as well check for flying pigs" and the smile has dissapeared from his face when those words slip out of my mouth.

"Dude- You know sometimes I wonder Why we're still friends" He ask while holding his chest pretending it hurts like a dramatic kid got kick out of the playground.

"Because you can't leave me?" A pair of eyes glaring at me because of those words. "Why is that?" He raise his Eyebrows waiting for my answer.

"Want me to say all the reason?" I got a nod as a response. "First I'm the one who helps you study, dude you can't even pass your exam without my help, Second because I'm your only best friend, you look like you could murder someone who comes close to you" it's true though I mean he have a friend aside from me but whenever Someone confront him, his anxiety builds up.

"Okay... Okay". He raised both of his hand in the air for him to surrender, I just rolled my eyes and walk away.

"I haven't seen your sweetheart, I know he always greets you every morning. He even wait around here just for you" He said in a low tone. Out of all people James is the first person who know about me being gay, He also accepted me for who I am.

"I don't know maybe he's busy". I also wondered where he is, as James said he always wait around just for me. He even texted me this morning.

We are having a conversation while walking toward our class. My phone suddenly ring reminding that I have a new notification. I pull out my phone to see what it is.

Noah <3 (7:56)

Sorry Didn't meet you at the entrance, I have an emergency..

Elijah Lewis (7:56)

It's okay

"What did he say?" James looking at me with a furious face. "He said he have an emergency". I wanted my tone to sound like I'm not sad about it.

"Well, don't be sad" He pat my back to console me, I smile at him as a thank you. We almost at our classroom when suddenly a student bumped into me making me fall on the floor.

"Hey watch it". I receive a deep and cold tone of harsh words instead of an apology. "Hey dude you should be the one who watch the way you're going". Those words slip out of his mouth and he's ready to throw punches anytime.

We're starting to caught some of the students attention, and they started blabbering about this situation. "It's enough" I grab James' shoulder and walk away. It will be a humiliation if a fight started at the first day of school. We take our seat and few minutes after the professor enter the classroom.

"Okay Class!!" She place his books at the center table. "From left to right introduce yourself, no need to stepped in the middle just say your name right where you seated". Few of the students started introducing their self until it my turn.

"My name is Elijah Lewis, I'm 20 years old." I smile at them and take my seat. A few more student Introduced their self until someone caught my attention.

"My name's Liam Shin, I'm half korean, 18 years old". Those Voice I remember those Deep, cold voice. James leaned on me wanting to say something " Isn't he the one who you bumped earlier?" I nodded in response. But his fluent in english, he doesn't look like he's from korea.

*******

"Hey!" James and I stopped at our track when a familiar voice shout. We looked at our back and see the person I bumped earlier. What does he want now? I haven't even received my apology.

"I'm gonna head out first". James waved at me and... What's his name again? Argh nevermind, He walk towards me and he suddenly bow.

"What I did earlier was very rude and I just wanted to say sorry". He slightly pit his head down and locked his eyes on me. I mean he have an eye that make him look like a bit asian.

"It's okay, I'm also sorry". I also feel a little guilty earlier, and out of anger I didn't also apologize to him. "Your Elijah right? I'm Liam". He pull out his hand gesturing for a handshake. "Kind I treat you a lunch later? I mean I really feel bad and I can't seem to ignore it". I think for a while until I found my answer.

"Sure, I'll see you later" I walk away and Head to my next class. I don't know why my heart beats this fast. What is wrong with my heart?.
