I woke up 7 am sharp, as soon as my alarm rang, I sat up in bed made a few stretches and took a quick shower in my bathroom.

I quickly put in my uniform which was composed of a white short sleeve button up, a black bow tie, a gray vest, a black skirt that should only be one inch above the knee and our uniformed knee high socks with our school's logo on the side. I quickly slipped in my shoes and ran downstairs.

"Good morning, mum" I smiled at my mother who is leaning on the kitchen counter, reading yesterday's news paper.

"Good morning, darling" She replied after sipping on her coffee.

My dad on the other hand was sitting on the middle of the dining table, already munching on our breakfast.

"Good morning, dad" I sat beside him after giving him a quick peck on the cheek.

"Good morning, sweetheart" He smiled as he continue eating his food.

I grabbed some of the waffles that are served and topped them up with some syrup.

"Don't forget to say grace." My dad warned and I laughed.

"Never, dad." I shaked my head and placed the fork and bread knife I was holding back on the placemat. I placed my hands together and closed my eyes, "My dear father, thank you so much for this bounty in front of me. May you bless us more and may our body's be nourished by it. Hollow be thy name, Amen." I smiled after praying and started to eat my breakfast.

Around 7:36 I was already standing by the sidewalk, waiting for the bus stop.

I spot it in the distance and waited.

The door opened in front of me and I ascended.

All eyes were on me but I must admit..Im already used to it.

I sat on my usual seat, which was behind the bus driver and just minded my own business.

Soon enough the bus came into a stop, making me shoot forward but I gripped unto the railing in front of me to stop myself from being thrown out the window.

I sighed, settling myself on my seat.

The door opened and there he was..he walked pass by me, earphones plugged in his ear, not giving a care as he stroll at the back to find an empty sit. Far away from everyone.

I hear his name once in awhile but all the things I hear about him is bad. He doesn't have friends and is quiet and smart and not to mention attractive.

A lot of girls tried to get with him but he turned him all down, I don't like judging people but I think he's just a secluded and private type of guy.

No one really knows about him.

Besides the fact that he's a transfer student from Australia and he's always..alone. He goes to parties though which is really way out of his league and hooks up with girls and leaves them. He was kind of..God, I'm sorry for using the term please forgive me, I will confess my sins on Sunday..Manwhore. That's what everyone is saying.

He just acts like that in parties, its like he has two personalities. Private and Outgoing, I guess.

The bus came into a stop, finally were in school. A place I love but its also a place that I hate.

If being honest, school is really hateful towards me. People are not very kind and I feel them staring badly at me, sometimes I hear them say bad things too but I choose to ignore and forgive them.

I've been raised as a good Christian by my family and I chosen to have faith in every thing I see. I don't judge and I don't swear. I'm simple and contented.

"Oh look, here's the VirginMary!" Rebecca the school's most popular girl because of being active in her extracurricular activities and yes by that I means sleeping around with 90% of the boys in school.

I hate sins and this school is making me very sinful. This is supposed to be a holyschool since its a Christian College but, it seems like nobody here believes in God which is really sad, they're misguided and confused.

I went straight to my locker and grabbed my chemistry book. I heard the first bell rang and made my way towards the classroom.

I sat my usual seat on the lab and Mrs. Watkins stride in, writing chemical formulas on the chalk board.

I wasn't really paying attention with what she's saying. I was top busy engulfing myself jotting down notes in my binder.

The door slmed against the wall, and was shut close harshly making my heart leap out of my chest.

"Well, what an honor it is for you to attend my class, Mr. Hemmings. (A/N: DON'T THIS IS NOT C.M LOL!!) I thought you were never going to show up. Be late again next time and I will drop you and ask you to leave class." Mrs. Watkins exclaimed.

"Sorry-" Luke mumbled under his breath, eyes dark and brows knitted together. He looked really tense as he sat on the empty seat beside me which made me nervous.

I didn't know why but my heart wouldn't shut up in my ear, my stomach gurgling like there was acid being poured in, my palms sweaty and I couldn't stop tapping my foot against the foot stool.

This is the closest I was near him. Mostly he'd isolate his self from everyone by seating in the back or just..always being alone. I don't know what or who he really is underneath his endearing appearance. I feel very intimidated and to be honest, scared.

The school bell rang, making it obvious that the class has ended and I shot up instantly, running my way out of the laboratory.
