Kourtney's P.O.V
It was a dark and starless night, the cricket where chirping, the frogs croaking. My house was on fire. I could only watch it burn down. Tears filled my eye's as my dad kicked the bucket before my eyes. My mom had cried out her eye's for the one she loved had gone.
All of a sudden, sweat poured down like water from the tips of my hair. Relieve I was. "Kourtney you'll be late for school again" my mom screamed. Letting out a sigh, I jumped outta my bed.
I'm Kourtney Menzel, I'm the only child of my mother Krisha and my late Dad Eric. I'm seventeen, 4ft2. I live in New Zealand.
"Kourtney! so glad you could make it just in time for Carlos big speech" Marisa muttered.
Marisa and I have been besties since childhood, she's the complete opposite of me but that's what makes her unique. "Anything concerning Carlos isn't my business and I don't care and stop acting like the world revolves round him ok"
"I know but maybe he's totally different this year" she smiled.
Behind that mask his wearing, there's a terrible person inside. But on a serious note what do people see in this guy anyway. He isn't handsome, nor cute his just basically there.
"Hello ladies" Carlos muttered giving me a ridiculous smile "So what are you too pretties? Anything special"
"Oh please why do you care to know" I sigh "Shut up Kourtney" Marisa yelled putting me in great shock. Wait What! Did Marisa just yell at me because of Carlos? Wow!
"I'm sorry Kourt I didn't mean it"She apologized almost immediately
"Oh you meant it" I angrily said "I can see you're falling head over heels for Carlos, why don't you go ahead" I hissed.
**********************************
History class started some minutes ago and I'm already bored to death. I had no partner since Marisa switched from history to Animal husbandry. According to her, history is not just her thing.
Mrs Fishel has been dictating little notes and everyone seems to be enjoying it. She just finished dictating when Kyle strolled casually into the class.
Kyle is the hottest baddest guy in Blue Junior High. The ladies Man but unfortunately no one can have him because he belongs to Shayna. Yes they've been dating like forever and their literally the favourite couple in school.
"Good day Kyle" Mrs Fishel greeted "Why are you late to my class" She asked impatient
"I'm sorry Ma'am, but there was a traffic jam at Hamilton Street" he replied giving the class a warm smile. All muttered "Awwwwwwnnnn"
"Have your sit young Man. Let this be a warning".
Everyone turned and starred at me because I was the only who had an empty seat and Kyle was heading towards me. He sat down and smiled at me which made me feel awkward.
"Hey" I said shaking "Sup? Hope this seat wasn't taken" he asked
"No not at all it's all yours"I stammered and he laughed placing his hand on my shoulder patting me slightly.
"Why do you sit alone" he asked.
"Nothing much. Not that I don't enjoy company of others, I very much do, it's just that my partner switched to another class".
"Cool"
"Class, the current world record for the longest hug is 26 hours 5 seconds". "I'll be crazy to try that" Kyle says Making the class burst into laughter.
He's kind of fun and and he isn't really arrogant as I potrayed him to be. He's nice.
"Focus!" Mrs Fishel yelled drawing everyone's attention back to her. "The Capital of Sri Lanka is Colombo located in where" she asked me looking deep into my soul. "Indian Ocean" I knew that cause my dad loved Colombia so much so I basically knew a lot about it.
Brrring Brrring Brrring
The bell rang indicating class was over. Next up Science.
"Hey Kourtney" Kyle yelled "You didn't even wait, you just rushed out of the class like the rest"
"Sorry. But I don't like being late to any of my classes".
"It's written all over you. I heard your trying out for the brain squad competition on History"
"Yes. Well I had no choice, plus it's the only way of fulfilling my father's dream"
"I'm sorry for your loss" he said
"Thanks" I smiled "Kyle I have to go, I don't want to be late" I said after grinning like an idiot
"Let me walk you to class then" he offered.
"That won't be necessary. I wouldn't want to cause any misunderstanding between you and Shayna if she sees you walking me to class"
"I understand but there's no more Shayna and I. She wasn't a truthful girlfriend and now, she moved to Malaysia "
"I'm sorry Kyle, I didn't know" I feel Kyle's pain. Heartbreak isn't something to joke with especially if you get hurt from someone you love so much. I can relate perfectly well because that was the same thing that happened between Carlos and I. Just that he played me all my life and I was too dumb to realise it. What a shame.
"We can be friends if you like" I said brighting up his mood.
"I'd love that" He winks at me before walking me to my next class.
