Happy With You

CHAPTER ONE

"Yayyy! Finally in high school!" I screamed as soon as I got out of my mom's car.

Although people stole glances I ignored them and jumped happily.

"Why are you always so happy?" Chris my brother asked.

"Well..." I patted his arms and said. "You know everything is better when you're happy. A happy start means a happy end."

"What? That's not true." He rolled his eyes and left.

Hmph always moody.

********
I remember my first day in high school as if it was yesterday and now I'm finally a senior!

"Why are you smiling?" Chris asked which made my smile grow bigger.

"Well, remember that in one week I'll go back to school but as a senior!" I grinned and he slightly smiled.

"I'm glad you're optimistic about it." Chris replied.

"Laura is always optimistic." Mom said and I nodded proudly.

"Mom can you drive faster, I really need to use the washroom." I said as I lightly held my lower belly.

"That's what you get after drinking so much juice." Chris said and I sighed.

*******
As soon as we got home I rushed to the bathroom to pee.

I feel relieved now.

"Everybody listen. I have something important to say."

"Not again." Alice my big sister who is also Chris' twin whined.

"Just listen please." I stood in front of the TV obstructing everyone's view.

"Be quick." Chris glared at me but I ignored him.

"So.... I need your full support because this is my senior year and I'm so excited. You guys would have to show me more love and spend more time with me because, I believe we wouldn't be spending so much time after this year and I'll surely miss you guys. I'll probably study in another country as I always wanted-"

"Good we understand. Say less." Chris cut me and I nodded.

I usually talk a lot without even realising so I get interrupted most of the times too.

"We're proud of you, Laura. We wish you the best." Dad said and I grinned.

"Yes we love you." Mom said and I hugged her with dad.

"Thank you!" Alice, Chris and my little brother Zach joined the family hug.

*********
One week later,

Yesss! I put on my uniform and all star sneakers.

Today's my first day as a senior. I'm sure it'll be fun.

I rushed downstairs and saw mom making breakfast.

"Hello mom."

"Hey darling, eat your breakfast."

"Yay! Pancakes! Thank you mom."

"You're welcome. You don't always have to thank me."

"I'll always do that mom. You're the best." I blew a kiss at her and she caught it happily.

*******
"I'm leaving now byee."

"Bye darling !"

This is going to be fun.

"Hey Sarah!" I waved at her.

"Laura!" She wrapped her arms around me.

"How was your trip?" I asked her.

"Bueno."

"Perfecto! Let's go to class." I held her hand and walked to class.

Sarah sat at the back beside Dylan, her crush and I sat in front.

"Good morning, class. I'm your class teacher and I expect the best from you this year." Mr
Carter said and talked about some other things. After few minutes talking, he turned his attention to the door and said "Yes There's a new student. Come in." A guy really attractive came in.

He was wearing the uniform of course. His hair was black and curly. He was very tall and handsome. He had brown big eyes.

Almost all the girls kept squealing and whispering about how hot he looked but he still looked indifferent.

He also looked quite familiar but I didn't know why.

I think he's cool. I want him to be my friend.

"Introduce yourself." Mr Carter told him.

"I'm Noah."

"Please take a seat." Mr Carter said.

And the only seat available was the one beside me so he didn't have a choice than to sit there.

"Who would be kind enough to show him around later?" Mr Carter asked.

"Me!" I rose my hand hoping Mr Carter assigns me.

"I can see that a lot of people are eager but Laura would do it." Mr carter said.

"Yess!" I couldn't hide my contentment.

*********

Finally time to show him around.

"Hey Noah. I'm Laura."

"I know." He rudely replied.

"Cool!"I pulled him even though he was a little stiff.

"This is the science lab. I personally love here. I love making experiments even though I'm not too good at that I keep trying."

"Why are you telling me this?" Noah asked.

"Because I love sharing my thoughts and feelings."

"I don't want to hear." He scoffed and I grinned. "What?"

"I don't believe you." I said and showed him other halls of the school.

"Are you always this happy?" He asked and I nodded. "Why?"

"Why not? I mean you know what they say, be happy and you'll be proud."

"What? No one says that." He replied.

"You could've gone along with it. Anyways, what do you think about my new haircut ?"

"I didn't see the old one."

"Do you like it?"

"No." He replied and started leaving.

I looked down and said. "Oh you're the first person to actually dislike it and I asked twelve people. You're the twelfth person by the way. So.... It means that at least 95% likes my hairstyles."

"91.6% to be precise and approximately 92%."

"Oh."

"You're welcome." He said and walked away.

"I didn't say thank you. Oh see you later." I waved at him but he didn't wave back. I think he didn't see me.

"Laura?" A familiar voice called.

"Harry!" I hugged him.

"Who was that?" He asked and I grinned.

"Oh Noah. He's my new friend."

"Really? He didn't look friendly." His smile faded a little.

"Mmm. I agree but I'm convinced you'd love him." I said and he smiled.

"Haha. Be careful though." He stroked my hair and chuckled.

*********

"How was your day?" Mom asked.

"Good I even made a new friend."

"Oh. Was he a new student?" She asked and I nodded. I think he's an exchange student.

"I'll do my homework now." I went to my room and did my homework.

After that I read a novel and took a nap.
