  I woke up to a dog barking loud ass hell with my sibling, Alex, screaming at the dog, I rubbed my eyes and rolled off the bed and sat up, groaning. '' Ugghhh... '' I stood up and walked to the kitchen while I heard Alex screaming louder, '' SHUT UP YOU FAT CUNT AND STOP FUCKING THE DOG NEXT-DOOR!! '', the weird thing is they were yelling at the dog... so I smacked them across the face and pet the dog, '' She'll shut up if your nice. ''

The alarm went off for school, interrupting our 'argumental conversation'. '' GODDAMNIT WE'RE GOING TO HELL!! '' Alex stormed out the room. Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw.. I thought to myself, memorizing a line from a musical I love, Alex calls me a theatre kid for that, and Melissa said that they didn't know whether it was a compliment or an insult, but they, themself, are a theatre kid. They Attend in theatre and I don't, but I'm a huge fan of Broadway Musicals. Anyways!! Back to the- whatever you call it. I slipped on my school clothes, which was a black T-shirt and dark gray sweatpants. Alex groaned in their all black outfit as our mom, Jocelyn, came in the room, '' Get out my house if you're ready for school, you're gonna be late!! ''. As soon as she finished her sentence I ran out the house on my way to school, with Alex tailing behind.

I slipped off my jacket as I got to my locker and I grabbed some books out of my locker, Alex ran to Melissa since their best-friends and I just know Melissa because their friends with my sibling, anywho, I went to find my best-friend, Nysheen, who Alex keeps staring at from afar for no reason, I don't really blame them because I catch myself staring at Melissa sometimes.

I saw Melissa and Alex talking when I decided to walk over to them with Nysheen, the first thing Alex did was slightly shove Melissa aside to talk to Nysheen, so I just talked to Melissa for a bit. '' Uh- hi! Melissa? Was it? '', Melissa nodded at my question and gave a nervous smile. I cleared my throat to say something, Melissa obviously knew what I was going to say from our last couple encounters, '' Are you a Broadway ticket? 'Cause I'd do anything to make you mine. ''

'' It wasn't as bad as the last one, '' they slightly blushed but then shook it off. '' Fine, fine. '' '' But are you a Teddy Bear? '' I said. '' Shaddup with yo' corny ass pick up lines, Eve. '' Alex interrupted. '' Whatever you say, Alex. '' I looked back at Melissa and they smiled but then walked away as the bell rang, '' Time for class.. '' I groaned. Alex followed Melissa because they had the same homeroom as eachother, I had the same homeroom as Nysheen, that's why Alex and Melissa are bestfriends, and that's also why Nysheen and I are bestfriends, '' What was her name again? '' Nysheen asked, '' THEIR name... '' I corrected, '' Is Alex. '' I continued, '' Their also my sibling, half-blooded sibling, we have the same mother's but different fathers. '' I said as a teacher walked over and practically dragged me and Nysheen to class.

I sat down when I got a text from one of my online friends, Sleep, was their nickname, kinda' odd how I have so many non-binary friends, huh? I decided to reply to their text, which was,

hi hru) they texted, using the '')'' because we were doing an online role-play thingy.

( I'm decent, what about you? )

(i'm ok)

( That's good(?) to hear! I think? )

(maybe)

( you know it's the middle of class, right? )

( yeeaahhh, but )

( but what? )

(the girl used another pick up line on me )

( oh? )

(it was less-cringy.)

cringey* They corrected themself

( Well I used one on my siblings friend today, )

( oh. what was it )

( '' are you a Broadway ticket? 'cause I'd do anything to make you mine. '' )

( that's the one she used on me!! )

( no wayy.. )

( what if we go to the same school??? )

( I doubt that, maybe coincidence?? )

( probably... I'm gonna ask her something and later you say if someone asked you a certain question.. )

( mk. )

( anyways cya, getting called on in class! )

( OK, tschüss! )

I sighed and put my phone away, wondering if Melissa could be the girl I keep flirting with, the girl who is bestfriends with my sibling. '' EVELYN! '' Mr. Keith shouted, '' Yes sir? '' I sat straight and looked at him nervously. '' Tell me! What's the answer to this equation? '' he pointed at the board where a rectangle with numbers and letters was written, '' I don't know, sir, this was never taugh-- '' '' DON'T LIE TO ME!! I TAUGHT IT YESTERDAY! '' he interrupted me and I started sweating, '' But, sir, I wasn--- '' I tried to speak, '' Don't come up with some SILLY excuse!! ''

'' MR. KEITH!! '' Maggie, my classmate, shouted, '' She wasn't here prior to yesterday!! She was out at a dentist appointment! '' Maggie defended me, knowing I was out yesterday, but I wasn't at the dentists, Mr. Keith wouldn't believe any other student but Maggie, she saved everyone and everyone went along with her lies, '' And proof is? '' Mr. Keith asked, and turned to me, not wanting a reasonable excuse from anyone but me, '' Mag.. Maggie went with me yesterday.. her mom is my.. mothers friend.. so she ended up coming.. '' I lied, half regretting it. '' If you say so.. '' Mr. Keith said and asked another student to answer it for me.

The bell rang loud as ever and I got up from my seat, taking my phone with me and walking out of class with half the class, when I saw Alex I patted her back and glanced at Melissa, mainly at the fact she could be someone very special to me in my life, I looked in her eyes and Melissa walked up to me and asked, '' How tall are you? '' which then I responded in '' 5'4... why?.. ''. They smiled slightly and walked away, opening their phone, just short after I got a text while walking into the classroom, it was Sleep..

( heya

( hii! )

( anything odd happen with you and your siblings friend )

( they asked how tall I was. 💀 )

( oh )

( ?? )

( i asked that same thing to the girl i was talking about.. )

( what'd she respond? )

( 5'4 )

( stop playing- )

( i'm not! i swear! )

( I said that when Melissa asked me how tall I was.. )

( melissa?

( yeah? )

( that's my name.. )

'' Evelyn! Sit! '' the teacher shouted at me in the doorway, breaking my train of thought. '' OK.. '' I sat down in the seat I usually sit in and pulled out my phone again, texting them,

( I gotta' get to workin' in class.. sorry... )

( it's fine.. )

I sighed and continued to do class-work.

Don't hate me for this cliffhanger, please.

A lot of people complain about cliffhangers.

I'm currently writing around 3 to 4 stories on a mix of both Wattpad and Quotev.

Anyways I hope you have a wonderful day, see you sooner or later!!

Evelyn
