Their Little Sunshine

[1] Meeting them

(For any confusion, Kiara's name in the first 12 chapters is Alexis.)

Alexis Moretti

Thank God!

Saved by the bell. I quickly closed my books and stood up from my seat to leave the class as soon as possible.

Who thought it would be a good idea to watch T.V. till 4 in the morning? And who thought it would be a good idea to watch the whole 'after' series? Most importantly why in the world does it has 3 degrading and toxic parts?

Ughhh... I want someone to answer these questions for me. I left the classroom before anyone could call me. I could feel a headache coming. Keeping all my books in my locker I made my way to the washroom.

Opening the tap I cupped both my hand together under the tap and felt the cold water. Splashing the cold water on my face a couple of times, I closed my eyes furiously and kept both of my palms, on both sides of the sink.

Someone has to bring some ice cream for me if they want me to survive this next class. Well, chocolate would do the job too.

Just one more class, and then I can go back and sleep as much as I want. Just 40 more minutes.

Hearing the warning bell I took my handkerchief out and dried my face and left the washroom.

What was the last period anyway? Right, Science. I already knew that this was not going to end well.

"Ms. Moore!" The teacher shouted making me flinch abruptly in my seat. I turned towards her, "what?"

"I called your name twice." Oh! She said in what looked like an angry tone.

"Sorry, I- " I was cut off while speaking, "Don't bother, Just answer the question. I don't have enough time or energy to listen to your crap." If I would have heard this 2 years ago when she came as the new teacher I would have said her words hurt, but now, that's actually how she treats me so I don't show her how to hurt I am by her words.

"Which question?" I asked quietly. The whole class was looking at her, and not me. Everyone knows this happens almost every day, she yells my name and then says something rather hurtful.

"Speak loudly." She crossed her arms and kept staring at me.

"Which question?" I spoke again, maybe a little more loudly this time. I heard a small snicker from beside me. Glad it's amusing to you buddy!

"Question 4." I turned towards my closed book and opened it. Which chapter was going on? What were we even doing?

I felt someone nudge me and slightly turned towards my desk partner. "What?" I whispered. I doubt he even heard me.

He pointed towards something with his index finger. I looked carefully and 'Q.4'. True/ False.

He tapped on the 'true' twice and I knew what I had to do.

"It's true," I spoke looking at the teacher whose stare went from strict to even colder after hearing my answer.

"Pay attention in my class next time. " And just like that she turned towards the board and started her lecture again.

I sighed in relief and sat back. "Thanks."

"No problem." He shrugged, "Everyone knows how much she hates you."

"Yeah, but still thank you." I gave him a small smile.

He kept his pencil on the page and closed the book before keeping his left elbow on the table and turning right towards me and giving me his whole attention.
