The smell of spice hangs in the air just as Moon texts back "morning babe",, "see you soon".
Dressing up, I take a bun between my teeth and tie my shoe laces, "bye mom", love you, "love you too".
Sniffing the air full of cherry blossoms, I smile, genuinely smile, knowing that I was supposed to fully enjoy this new chance, this new life.
Coming to class, I rub the board and sit where I usually sit, at the back, by the window. Sitting down, I take out a novel that seems to peek my interest.
When the tension in the book gets high, that's when I am interrupted: "The girl from earlier?" The red-haired asked.
I scoff, "Now you want this seat, leave me alone." He looks down at me with an arched brow, "You are a nerd, kitten." I roll my eyes. Now, am I a kitten?
"Sorry about earlier, I...It won't happen again." I flagged him away, "It's okay," you're not the first one I sigh.
Most people don't apologise. Even if it was their vault, I just let it slide. Thinking about it makes me even more angrier with myself.
"Mashaaaa!" Moon squels, running towards me, "Hi, bestie"We hug each other tightly, and we both start talking. Soon, the class is full and buzzing, "There will be class arrangements today," Moon whispers over, "What?" I ask, surprised. I raise my glasses up with my hand. I remembered last year that I was made to sit in the front row.
"Okay, everyone, sit down, let's make this quick." The teacher said, and he started making the arrangements. By the time it was over, I sighed. The teacher didn't change me. But bestie is on the other side of the class, and my new desk mate is still not there.
After classes were over, I went to the library while Moon went to buy her favourite snack. Reading the novel from before, I start to shout, "Why! Why her, God, she is dead?!"
"Gosh, can you lower your voice? I'm tryna sleep here," a blonde from my class says, " opps! Sorry."
Soon enough, Moon comes back just as I finished the book, planning to buy the next one," Moon!" I started shaking her," What is it? It didn't end the way you anticipated?" She chukled.
Moon is, of course, the second person who understands me, but still I don't fully trust her, and I hate myself for that; it's just something in the back of my mind keeps telling me not to, also, the last thing she will do is ever betray me, so why?
Soon, when afternoon classes began is finally when my deskmate, who had made me until now to punch that nose of his, is non other than Eric, the school prince, the enemy of my world, the rightful descendant of the devil himself.
" The results are out!" Someone announces, "The jerk next to me smirks, "the only thing I came for," he says, standing up. "Ugh, what a show off."
Anxiety creeps up my neck as I start to panic. Everyone is outside, but I remained behind. What if I fail? What if all my plans fall out of place?
"Please don't, don't," I beg.
"Are you okay?" I look up to find..." Lucas?" I ask, his eyes hooded with some worry, which vanishes instantly.
