“You sure? Because if you're not I could help you…” he trails off when we were approached by his friends grinning, looking from him and then to me winking their eyes at me. All Edward did was roll his eyes.

“Oh my God will y'all stop!” he says, probably annoyed at them. I try my best to contain my laughter at the four of them, especially Carlous.

“Hey guys” I smiled cheekily and Carlous smirked. 

"Eh, you guys are really something." Carlous starts but stops when Edward sends him a death glare. 

"Relax Ed. He's just teasing." I laugh patting his back. 

“Where are you roaming around without being in class?” Edward says and I smile at his attempt at changing the topic. Smart guy. 

"Actually, I'm supposed to take a relief class here cause apparently Psychology class is cancelled today. Miss. Sanders had to leave urgently, something like that." I explained and they nodded. 

“Were you alone there for a long time or something?” His face turns concerned. 

“Yeah but a few minutes didn’t hurt. I was enjoying the view from the balcony” I say with a smile that made all of them chuckle a little bit.

“Let’s go in, we don’t wanna wait out here right guys?” Carlous opens the door and I follow behind  them. 

I walk straight to Morgan's table and find her reading a manuscript with her round glasses at the tip of her nose. She looks cute like that. I gently tapped her shoulder which made her look up and then she smiled. 

"Oh hey, Meriliya" 

"Hey. Anything I could do to help?" I asked her. I love spending time here, cleaning and arranging the place. Plus, she being my friend makes it ten times more interesting. 

"Ahh, I've been reading this, and man! The author is really getting me!" She laughs wiping under her eyes. I laugh and walk to one of the bookshelves and start arraying them. 

"I'll do them, you go read. Let me do this" I tell her and she smiles before walking back to her table to finish reading the manuscript. I spotted Edward and the boys from a corner chatting away and Carlous seated on the floor since there was no space left for him on the couch. I laugh and grab a set of books and land them on the floor organising them according to the code numbers.

I never even realised how the days actually fly until now. I mean it feels like yesterday since I started school again after coming to London but in reality it's been almost two months. Today is Friday, the start of the weekend and well, lucky for me I have to spend it at a hotel room. My days have been pretty good. It's mostly the same but I'd say I love going to school and being with the boys. They actually keep me happy and for a moment I forget how my actual life is. I'd even say I'm like a happy go lucky girl by day and a house girl by night. Funny, I know. But, the best part is, I'm happy. It's ok if I have to still be their house girl, well at least I've found some friends who are really nice and sweet. Plus, I'm at least getting along in school. 

I was up early today, just thinking about being here, in a totally different country far away from the States. A different society, different people, some things that I have to start adapting to whether I like it or not. I don't want to be crying over spilt milk. I've got to move on, start over. Who knows what's going to happen later on? It might turn out great. Maybe I'll be a different person. I could start a new life here, and find ways to be happy. I've got to look on the bright side. I love how serene and peaceful the environment is in school and almost everywhere I go. I'd say, I'm blessed.
