Chapter 1 - CHAPTER ONE

EMILY.....

Waking up late to the loud alarm clock is not something I enjoy but I guess you don't always get what you want.

I looked at the time on my love shaped alarm clock and saying I panicked is an understatement.

How did I happen to set the wrong time?

I quickly jumped up from my comfortable bed and ran to the bathroom.

What the hell!

My hair is obviously sticking out in all sides.

Actually, I'm a brunette but I'm really obsessed with my hair but too bad I won't be able to wash it before school today.

That's right, school.

I quickly took a shower then, I put on my school uniform which is a short, thigh-length flair carton colour skirt with a white fitted shirt and a dark blue waist coat with a dark blue neatly pressed fitted blazer which has three gold buttons and a white socks with two blue stripes at the top and a black shinny shoe to match.

I hurriedly took my back pack.

I remember mum telling me not to skip breakfast but I'm too late to think about that right now.

I quickly came down from the stairs, skipping one at every step.

Luckily for me, Steph hasn't left so I went to school in their car.

Actually, Stephanie Norman is my next door neighbour and we get along really smooth but she is in Art class and I'm in a Science class.

"Hi Emily."

"Good morning Mrs Norman." I replied to Steph's mum.

"How was your night dear?" she asked while starting the car.

"It was nice,thank you." I replied forming absolutely unaware to the stares Steph was throwing at me.

The car remained silent until Steph touched me.

"Late again Emily?" she whispered with a funny looking grin.

"Yeah." I replied with a smile.

Some minutes later, we stopped at the school parking lot then the both of us came out of the car.

"Bye mum." Steph said waving at her mum. I also waved but didn't say anything.

"Jeez! Emily what is wrong with your hair?" Steph asked alarmed.

"What is wrong with it?" I asked as I drove my hand into my hair.

"Oh God! don't tell me....." I quickly covered my hair with the bandana I was holding then Steph and I rushed to the restroom.

She brought out her comb.

Yeah, we take those kind of stuffs to school.

"Thanks Steph." I said as I combed my hair.

"This is unlike you, what happened?" Steph asked me as I finished combing my hair and released the tangles.

"I woke up very late." I replied as I collected the face powder from Steph and applied it on my face.

She also gave me lip gloss which I took and used it.

"You are a life saver." I said with a smile.

"At least you look like your normal self now." Steph said mirroring my smile.

"Thanks." I said as the both of us left the restroom and headed to class.

I checked my wristwatch and we were five minutes late for class.

"We are having Chemistry class now."I told her ready to split ways.

"I am having literature class so, I guess I will see you later then."she replied and headed to her own lesson.

As I got to class, I looked through the back window and thank God there is no teacher in the class.

I didn't realize the breadth I was holding until I released it.

I quietly went to my seat and sat down.

"Good morning Miss." Smith said as he sat down and poked me with his ball pen.

"Good morning."I replied with a smile.

Actually, Smith George is my seat partner and a very fun person to be with.

He likes making jokes and his jokes don't fail to make the class lively.

I won't forget to add that he is a very nice person.

As the both of us started talking, we heard loud giggles from the back and I don't need to have another pair of eyes at the back of my head to know it's coming from Santana and her girls or let me say minions.

"She is annoying, right?" Smith asked.

"Very but did you just ask me that question?" I replied motioning that the answer is obvious.

"And I really don't understand why guys are going head over heels for her." I continued.

"She is hot." Smith said with an obvious grin as he bit his lower lip.

I didn't get a chance to reply because our chemistry teacher entered the class.

"Good morning class." She said as she came into the class.

Some of us replied her with good morning while some people were still on their phones and of course it's not everyone that take their studies serious like I do.

"Sorry for coming late,we are supposed to have our class in the chemistry lab as usual but I don't think that will be possible today because some renovations are going on there."she said as she opened her textbook.

We accepted her apology,It's not like we had any other choice.

She proceeded with her teaching.

At the end of every single lesson of that day, I quickly went to the parking lot with Steph because I was very hungry and I didn't go to the canteen during break period because of an assignment I was working on.

Normally, I don't come to school in Steph's car but my driver(more like my dad's driver)had to accompany my dad to a trip for this whole week, since the driver that normally takes him is on leave because of some family issues so I will be going and coming to school in Steph's mum's car but I haven't told them about it.

"What happened to your car?" Steph asked as we sat down on a bench in the parking lot, I told her about it and I didn't miss the happiness in her eyes when she realized we are going to school together till the end of this week.

Soon we heard a car horn and it was Steph's older brother so we got into the car and he drove off.

--------------------------

As soon as I got home, I quickly dropped my bag on the floor of the living room and went to the kitchen to bring out a fresh Cinnamon bread with sardines.

I also took out yogurt from the refrigerator and rushed to the living room to eat after switching the TV on.

I was still in my school uniform so, I ate quickly and packed up my plates when I was done.

After leaving the kitchen, I lazily went to my room, washed my school uniform and some dirty clothes with the washing machine, showered after that and decided to take a nap.

After about two hours of sleep, I woke up and lazily checked my phone and it was 6:30 pm so I went downstairs with my phone and started going through Instagram because, that is one of the few things that keep me company in this house.

As soon as I checked a group that some of our school students were in, I saw something that drew my attention.

Actually, this group consists of some of my set mates that fit a certain Status, if you know what I mean.

Santana is also there.

As I played the video of Santana and the most popular guy in our school--- Alexander Blake making out,a strong feeling of annoyance filled me.

This is just too much,did they have to post it on Instagram?

I continued watching the video and I noticed that Santana was not forcing herself on him as people always say she is. He is clearly enjoying it.

Maybe he likes her.

"Well, good for them." I didn't miss the taste of bile in my mouth as I said that.

I dropped my phone and went to the kitchen to get fries and bacon then, I settled down on the couch and ate every single piece in the plate.

Don't blame me!

I'm so filled up.

I drowned down a glass of water and selected a movie to watch.

As I settled on breaking in, I heard the door bell and went to check who is at the door.
