*Ella's Point Of View

KRRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNGGGGG

Oh it's the alarm. -_- I checked at my phone to see what time my mom set it.

5:15 am

The heck! Why is this so early? My classes will just start at 7:30! Oh, Mom! Hmp.

I went downstairs and saw Mom cooking breakfast. And I asked her:

"Mom? Why did you set my alarm 5:15 if my classes were at 7:30?"

"What? Your classes starts at 6:30 remember?"

(Oh shoot. How did I forgot.)

"You know Ella, start adjusting. If in Northfields, it's 7:30, then now in R.I., it's an hour early, dear."

"Oops. Sorry." I giggled in embarassment.

"It's OK. Just eat your breaky."

I sat down to my chair and look what's on the table! Bacon, Tuna Omellete, Garlic Fried Rice, Hotdogs, Brownies for dessert, and Fresh Milk! My favorite set breakfast! HEAVEN BRUH.

So after I ate, I took a shower, Brushed my teeth and wore my new school uniform.

I went in front of my table, I blowdried my hair, brushed it, and put on my favorite purple sparkly headband that matches my purple school skirt. I puffed on powder and put on lip gloss. I wore my socks and shoes, and watch, and guess what time is it? Damn, it is already 6:18! Man don't tell me I'm gonna be late on my first day of Grade 9.

I rushed downstairs and asked my Mom to drop me at school. She got her car keys and we flashed to the school.

When I reached the gate it's 6:25. Whew. What a relief, I thought I would be late for my classes.

But. Wait.

I don't know where my room is!

Shit.

It will take me 13 minutes to find my room if I did it walking. So, I ran to save time. I ran at the corridor finding the Grade 9 - Aphrodite sign.

Then I bumped into someone.

I fell. Literally.

He offered me a hand to stand me up.

When I saw his face... (play background music please)

People fall inlove in mysterious ways, maybe just a touch of a hand.

He's eyes. He's face. Ugh. Damn.

(Ok stop it. I'm gonna be late.)

"Uhm, thanks." And he just smiled.

Who is that guy? He's cute though. Hihi.

I continued running until I reahed my room. 6:29 am. Still good. Everyone looked at me. And I sat to an empty chair. There is one more empty chair beside mine. So there is one person who'll be later than me. Good.

The teacher came in.

"Good morning everyone."

"Good morning Ma'am" the whole class greeted

"When I said good morning, rise up and greet me too. Is that clear?"

"Yes Ma'am."

"By the way class, I'm Ms. Angeline Policarpio, and I'm going to be your cla-"

A boy ran inside the room and sat beside the empty seat beside me. Everyone stared at him. He blushed of embarassment. And I whispered to him.

"It's OK. I'm almost late too, anyways."

He just stared at me. And smiled a bit.

"Ok... Now, I wan't everybody to try not to be late. Please. Ok, I'll check attendance."

3 hours later

The reccess bell rang.

Everyone rushed to the canteen. While me, and the late guy beside me just walked. And we got a chance to know each other.

"Uhm, hi?" I started the convo

"Hello."

"I'm Ella."

"I'm Nico. Are you new here?"

"Yes. Why?"

"I'm also new here. I feel so ashamed a while ago."

"Nah. It's OK. Don't worry about it. Our room was just so hard to find! Pfft."

So we ate together, and went back to the class together. After a few hours. We took our lunch. Then after 3 hours, we finally went home. We gave each others' numbers at lunch. So when I was home. He called me.

Nico : Hey.

Me : Hello

Nico : May I tell you something?

Me : Sure.

Nico : You are so kind to me. I like you.

Me : You. Like me?

Nico : uhm. Yeah... As...

Me : Friends? Right? Oh I like you too! Can we be besties?

Nico : Yes, yes. Best friends?

Me : Best friends.
