The alarm clock screamed shrilly. It was 10 in the morning and the sun had already rose up the tall buildings of Miami.

I unwillingly pushed the cozy covers off me as i lazily hung my feet from the bed. I trailed to the bathroom to fresh up myself, and then pulled on a pair of denim shorts and a red tank top. Pulling my damp hair into a messy bun, i made my way to the kitchen.

I was greeted by the supreme scent of bacon and eggs as my mother toppled the omelette in the frying pan. I casually sat on the kitchen chair in the kitchen.

'Good morning, Stacey!' My mother cheerfully spoke. 'Ready for some breakfast?' She said as she presented me with a plate of fresh breakfast and a glass of strawberry milkshake.
'Thanks mum, these taste amazing.' I remarked as i took one bite of the scrumptious meal. My mother is honestly the best chef in the world.

I finished eating as my phone rang. I glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Anna, my best friend. A goofy grin lingered on my face as i answered her call.

'Hey goofball! You know you're such a loser, Adam was literally dying to talk to you all day but i had to shun him out just because you said. And i hate to shut out on him cause he's like so darn cute and-'

'Woahh calm down tiger. Hello to you too.' I replied as i interrupted her constant blabbering about how hot Adam Payne was. 'And speaking of Adam, i didnt tell you to be rude but you just had to give him a cold shoulder from my side okay?'

'Yeah but he likes you and you're just so lucky and ohh God like he...'

And there you have my best friend, we talked for about an hour, chatting and catching up on most of the stuff we had missed out in these two months of summer vacations.

School was reopening this Monday and i literally dreaded it. My social circle was just fine, with Anna and Jane as my best friends. We usually stayed out of trouble because of getting constantly bullied for studying or even chewing an apple in school. Literally how stupid is that to make fun of somebody peacefully having their meal in school time.

I pushed all those thoughts out of me as i focused on the movie playing on the television with a large tub of chocolate ice cream on my lap.
******************************

The weekend went by fast. And before i knew i was infront of the gate of my highschool. Wearing a pair of black skinny jeans with a blue tank top, my curly blonde hair loosely hanging on my shoulders, i held my bag even tighter. Okay it was obvious that i ws nervous. Well what do you expect more from a highschool student who absolutely loathes school and hardly has good friends and whose school people come haunting her nightmares everytime she sleeps. Okay i might be exaggerating but you get my point right?

I quickly texted Anna and Jane to meet me on the gates to escort me in like i would get lost in my own school which i have been studying in my entire life. As soon as i put my phone back in my pocket, a familiar physique comes tumbling in the distance. I recognize him instantly: Adam Payne.

He always had this huge crush on me ever since I've joined this school. And now both of us are 17 and he still seems to like me. What a cutie. Adam belongs to a good social circle which is obviously better than mine and is, i have to admit, he is very hot. Tall, fair and silky dark brown hair that cover his head, he's also in the soccer team, which is also a bonus altogether.

'H-hey.' He chirps. I give him a genuine smile and say, 'Hey Adam. Long time, eh?
'Umm yeah.' And suddenly Anna comes running towards me pulling me into a big bear hug and screaming.
'Really mature, Anna.' I sarcastically say as i return the hug.
'For once, can you act as if you dont hate me and shove those sarcastic comments up your ass, you perv.' She humps. 'Well okay, as you wish, loser. Wheres Jane?' I ask.
'Her car broke down and her hot brother is gonna drive her here.' She says with a wink. We're interrupted by the voice of somebody clearing their throat. Of course, its Adam. 'I guess im here too?' And we somehow giggle and wait till Jane shows up.
