He Was Sunshine, I Was Midnight Rain

1.~A Shitty Beginning~

Lia POV:

Shit

Total fucking shit.

is how I would like to describe the situation I'm in right now.

Like, I've seen shit before, but this shit right here, IS the real shit.

Ten minutes ago I was running towards the entrance gate of my college. I show my ID to Marco, the security guard with a haste,

'Good morning, Marco' and sprinted off into the building.

Marco replied with a slight tipping of his cap,

'Good morning to you too, Miss Laudeline. Mind your laces!'
He shouts as I exit from his view.

I've told him a million times not to call me that. I also acknowledge his comment about my shoelace and notice they were untied. So, i quickly stuffed them inside my shoes. (What kind of person ties their shoelaces, *scoffs)

I ran up the stairs in hopes of reaching my classroom on time. I checked my watch, 9:54.

Shit.

Students were supposed to be inside the class sharp at 9:15. Well, here I am. You can't blame me, I was having an amazing duet with Dylan O'brien in my dreams.

Arriving late to class has become kind of my thing, you know. The only annoying thing is that feeling you get when people stare at you. You feel like you're the center of attention, and I HATE attention.
I don't know how Leo even deals with all that shit.

Oh, and did I mention? I live at the Messi household. How, you ask? Well, its kinda complicated. I'm not related anyway through blood, but I kinda grew up with both Leo and Anto ever since I remember.

Long story short; Parents died when I was 5. My sister Vienna, she was my everything. She and Anto were best friends. That's how I came to know Leo. Anto and Leo started dating after some time. Vienna worked her ass off all day for her stupid law firm, so they both would take me everywhere they went, I would feel like third- wheeling most of the time but I didn't care as long as I got to spend time with either of them. They were the only family I've ever known.
Christmas, New Year's, and whatnot, I spent all my happiest moments with the three of them.

But when I was 13, Vienna got into a car accident. The opposing lawyer's client crashed his car with Vienna's intending to kill her.... in which he was successful. I stayed at her side at the hospital for 5 days until her breathing stopped. Anyway, I refuse myself from talking about it (I'm still in denial). I was broken and was in need of someone.

That's when Anto and Leo took me in. My last name's still Laudeline, but the Messis make me feel more home than my real home ever did (which was only 2 ppl to start with). And the FC Barcelona team is like my second home. I know all the guys and their families, I love hanging out and talking with them. That's a lot coming from an introvert like me. Our coach Lucho (short for Luis Enrique), love that guy, he's practically my dad. And his daughter Xana, lovely kid.

God, I love this club SOOO MUCH-

'Laudeline!'

I was shaken from my thoughts by my Mrs Valentina's scream. I had reached my class and after assuring theres no teacher inside, I stepped in and turns out Mrs V was behind me.

She was a woman of mid.....thirty maybe, with glasses that made her look like she's pissed off all the time. I respect her and admire her and all, but right now, I don't want anything else but to run away from that place.

Oh, and this was the shit I was talking about. I was currently being yelled at by the Head Academics of the college and this isn't the first time.

'If I didn't know you, I would've marked you absent today, Lia'

I just stood there looking like a fucking idiot. The disappointment in her look could bore a hole through my soul. She continued.

'This is, if I remember correctly is the fifteenth time you're late to class and if you're going to assure me that this wouldn't happen again. Please....save it.'

I was left speechless, because that was exactly what I was going to do.

The classroom was filled with giggles and chit-chat. Mrs V silenced the whole room with her death glare. She looked back at me and said,

'I'm not going to give you detention. You seem to enjoy too much of yourself with Miss Cacantra.'

True that, I thought. Clara Cacantra, my best friend. She gets the honour of detention from Mrs V only for different reasons (like hitting a fellow student). We practically have fun together at detention, one day we-

'I want you to meet me after the classes are over. You are going to help me with my weekly reports until 6:45'

Mrs V declared and turned to walk away. I just stood there taking in the information and then realization hit me.

Oh shit, I have to attend the party tonight. The Barca party that I promised Leo about. ijrjjkshos-

I chased back after her and started begging,

'Mrs Valentina, could we have this meeting another time? There's a really... important...event that requires my being there and I've promised someone that i would make it so, please could we..'

'By an event you mean, partying?' She asked with raised eyebrows.

I blinked a few times and replied,
'You know I despise such ordinaries, Mrs Valentina.' I said with seriousness in my voice.

Mrs V just looked at me unamused.

I pushed my luck,
'I couldn't keep your promise, so atleast help me keep somebody else's promise.' I asked with a fake ass smile.

She looked annoyed but obliged anyway.
'Fine. You can go today. But you will be required to overstay tomorrow. Deal?'

'Deal', I said with a genuine smile and walked happily with a spring in my steps.

'Classroom's that way!'

I stopped and headed the other way passing Mrs V awkwardly,
'Sorry...'.

Well, how was it guys?
Do you like Lia? Is there something you would like for me to add. Let me know in the comments.
