Love and the Dark of Life

Chapter 1

Hi everyone ! I  started this story a year ago, just decided to publish it ! I hope you like it :) 

As I leave the show's room, I see her. I see those bright green eyes looking at me. I walk by the hallway and get out of the school. I join my mother in the car and we go home.

"Hi honey, how was your day?" she asks

"Good I guess, you?"

"Great."

I wake up and try to open my eyes. I had a quite rough night, and we can't say I had much more sleep these days. It looks like I dream as long as I sleep.

As I walk to school, I see my friends Taylor, Meghan and Rachel waiting for me. We go off to our classes. I'm so bored I can't make it through the whole morning and fall asleep during math lesson. I mean, it's not like I'm ever going to use what we're doing now. Anyway, at least I caught my missing sleep up.

"Mrs. Linbord?" I hear a little voice,

"Mrs. Linbord?" it's the teacher, unfortunately. I've never been able to sleep 2 hours without him waking me up... He's so annoying... Plus he teaches math, how am I ever going to understand a single word he says? I rise my head and look at him.

"You'll do those exercises for tomorrow of course." He says,

"Of course," I answer in a sleepy voice.

However, I don't really care so, the lesson is almost finished; my friends and I quickly get out of the class to eat. We queue, hungry as ever; but I change my thoughts when I see her, grabbing some food. She wears a beautiful green dress; it suits her very well...

"Hey, Julie! Are you there?" Meghan laughs,

"Yeah, and stop laughing at me please..." I answer looking up,

"Who were you looking at?" asks Rachel with interested eyes,

"Nobody, just looking in the air."

"We're not dumb, you can tell us." Replies Taylor,

"There's nothing to tell!" I say, annoyed,

"Okay, however, I don't know who got you to look at her like that, but she's very lucky..." Taylor tells me, disappointed.

I know my friends since I've been five, and nothing ever changed. Of course, we fight sometimes, but it's never been more than that; even when Taylor told me he loved me in 7th grade and I turned him down, knowing I didn't love boys. It had to be tense, but it got back to normal and we never left each other.
