I sat in his bed, leaning against the wall, dressed in white skinny jeans and a peach pink 3/4 sleeved sweatshirt, with Timberlands boots, on Monday morning. I accessorized with a golden necklace, silver hoops, and silver bangles. I had done my daily makeup, but a little more ecstatic today. I had on a orange pink peach colored lipstick, and also nude smokey eyeshadow. My hair was wavy, and the top part was pinned on the back with a big white bow. My bangs were hanging beside my eyes in a swoop. If that makes sense... I waited as Leo took a quick shower. I went on my phone, while I waited. He came out, 10 minutes later, dressed in black joggers with emojis on them, a black t-shirt, and red sneakers. He grabbed his black backpack, and his phone. I got up, grabbed my bag, and we walked to school. I stopped at the 24-hour store. I went inside to buy two donuts, while he waited outside. As I left the store, I saw a man with a little girl, most likely his daughter, and I recognized him. I started eating, and gave Leo the other one. He ate it, and ended up eating mine as well. We arrived to school.

"I have to go to the office, I'll see you later." I said, as we entered the school.

"You in trouble, again?" Leo groaned. I put my hand on his chest.

"No, it's for my volunteer hours." I said. I walked to the office and knocked on Gordon's door.

"Come in." He called, and I turned the doorknob. I walked into his office.

"Good morning, Principal Gordon." I said.

"Good morning, Ms. Miller. How are you?" He said, as he straightened some papers. He handed them over to me. I put the papers in my bag.

"I'm doing alright! Thank you." I said, and I went to my locker. Bethany was waiting for me.

"Morning!" She greeted. I smiled.

"Hey." I said. I dialed my locker combination. I got my books and we went to homeroom.

"What's got you all like that?" She asked, looking at me.

"Nothing really. It's Monday." I said, putting a piece of gum in my mouth. I handed her the pack of gum. She took one, and gave it back to me.

"You look great, though." She winked.

"Same to you." I smiled. Bethany was wearing a strapless mint green flowy dress. She had a flower crown on, and beachy waves. We sat in our spots. Bethany sat in front of me. I put my legs up on the desk. There wasn't a lot of people in the class yet. We talked for a few minutes, until the guys and the girls showed up. I waved to them. Jacob did the handshake with me, and sat in his spot two seats behind me. Crissie sat on the left of Bethany, Destiny next to me, and Adelaine next to Leo, who sat behind me. Behind Adelaine, was Mike's seat. On the right of Jacob was Hector's seat. They all sat down. I tilted my head back on the desk behind me, and reached my hand over to Leo. He put his hand on my cheek, and kissed me on the lips. I smiled, as the teacher walked in. I sat back up, with my head turned towards the teacher.

"Miller, feet off the desk." He announced.

"Kay." I put my feet on the floor.

"Thank you. Gum in the trash, please."

"Broo, this dude." I mumbled, getting up, to spit my gum out into the trash. I sat back down. He glared at me.

"Simone..." Leo said. I turned to look at him. He raised his eyebrow at me. Why does he have to be so damn cute all the time? I grumbled, and turned back to the front.

Bethany turned around, and whispered to me. "Babe's got control over you." She smirked. I rolled my eyes, chuckling.

After a few classes past, the bell rang for lunch. We all hurried down to the cafeteria to get lunch.
