It was one of those days that starts with a bunch of crap and ends with even more crap. Not like I still have any expectations, but of course, there always has to be something messing with my thoughts. I had a really bad night and cried myself to sleep again. Kinda funny since that was for the third time this week and guess what, it's Wednesday. Who needs sleep right? "Liv? Liv come down here immediately! It's already 6:50. You gonna miss your bus again today." I hear my dad screaming from the kitchen. God, I hate having that much stress in the morning. Usually, I don't need that much time when I get up, cause I don't eat breakfast. Not that I'm not hungry, but I need my sleep. So most times I just grab my coffee and walk off. On my way downstairs I try not to stumble over Kenny, our dog, while I enjoy the upcoming smell of fresh coffee,  definitely my favorite smell. My dad sits in the kitchen, watching some bullshit channel on TV as always. "Morning", I mumble. "Why do you always have to get up so late?", dad asks in his grumpy morning voice. "Maybe that's because you didn't motivate me enough to do so.", I tease him back.

At school, I notice a group of students standing in front of the dashboard. Normally I try to avoid people, but something about them is making me curious today. As I walk up there, my legs suddenly stop moving. "Move!", some younger student crashed against my back, obviously because I stopped walking in the middle of the hallway, but I didn't even really notice or care. I swear, I've never seen someone so fucking pretty.

When the first lesson starts I'm still distracted by the woman I saw earlier. I don't think I've ever seen such a beauty. Since I was like ten years old, I knew that I was gay, which means there was more than a small number of women I thought were pretty.

Dating was never something I wanted, I always liked to have company, especially overnight, but that's it. Some people might think it's not fulfilling to live like that, I call it avoiding trouble. Also, I'm not a big fan of those romance stories you hear as a child. Living happily ever after is not how life works. At least one person is going out of the relationship heartbroken. "Olivia Michaels would you mind talking to us?", shit I must have daydreamed away, cause everybody in my class has turned around and is starring at me. "I eeehm..., I was just...", I try to save myself, but my teacher interrupts me: "Save it, Olivia! That's the third time I was calling your name. Don't even try to talk yourself out of it. This got me thinking, maybe you would like to come in front of the class to share your thoughts with us?", Mr. Wallas says with an ironic face. "Fuck off.", I mutter through my teeth. The fact that I can see Lilly, my best friend who also sits next to me in every class, swallow, tells me that this was a little bit too loud. Walla's face is telling the same. "You are aware of the way to the director's office Miss Michaels, aren't you?",  he speaks with his angry voice and you can tell, that man is usually patient and it takes a lot to piss him off. Well,  must have hit the mark.

On the way through the corridors, Mr. Wallas doesn't say a word. Normally I would have taken the chance to provoke him more, but out of nowhere, the woman from before appears again. No matter how hard I try, I can't get my eyes off her. She turns around and seems to notice. All she does is giving me one of those pitty smiles. God, I hate them so much. It's just that even those look breathtaking on her. Finally, I manage to take my gaze away from her. My head turns back to reality and I realize that I really got myself into some serious trouble.
