It has been a week of roaming around the school and getting to know my classmates. The school is huge and majestic, I'm happy that it has a lot of clubs and camps to attend and enjoy with people, I prefer to exhaust myself with work that I enjoy rather than waste my time on my phone which doesn't open my future road at all. Life is very valuable, you can do a lot in your own time and ease your mind.

"Hey Nadia, you're 30 minutes early," Rosie hugged me like a bear making me feel loved. She is 10 centimetres taller than me which makes me feel short even tho I'm 165 cm. "I had to in case I'll sleep through the alarm again by hitting the snooze button," I chuckled as we walked toward the vending machine.

I gasped noticing my favorite snack inside, my white bueno and iced peach tea, "I'll take it," I said opening my backpack to take out my wallet and put a coin in to choose the snack. "Oh shoot, I'm out of coin," Rosie said pouting her lips. I smiled as I took out my snack from the case. "I'll pay for you," I said holding my wallet and snack.

"No no it's ok, another time," Rosie brushed it off about to walk away before I snatched her backpack to pull toward me. "What are friends for? Waste each other time by yapping something about and leaving as if we're nothing? I don't think so, now please choose," I tried to assure her as she slumped her shoulder feeling her heart touched. "Thank you so much."

"I'll take Snickers and cola," Rosie said as I put my coin in the vending machine and it dropped down. Rosie rushed toward and took out showing out the snack while smiling like children. "Thank you so much! Really!" Rosie thanked me again feeling her eyes glisten in appreciation. "I'll repay you definitely," She said as she munched her snack making me stop my walk.

"No, you don't need to repay me at all. Let's just help each other out without repaying. I think helping out means a lot more than repaying because you feel forced to," I said as she nodded her head slightly sighing in a good way. "I- I know I said this a lot but the more you show your kind gesture the more I feel touched. I love you, Nadia."

Now I feel my eyes glistening with her remark causing me to move toward her hugging her tight. "I love you too, Rosie," I whispered as she hugged me back. We pulled away with smiles on our faces before starting to walk again to class. "I have something to ask you."

"What is it?" I asked as we approached our seat placing our backpack on the seat before sitting. "Well tonight, Jake and his other friends are into racing cars, right? I will be there and I want you to be there too," she asked with hope in her eyes while I stiffened in my place. I looked away contemplating her question.

"I don't know..."

"Why? I promise it's fun."

"I-...uhh...sure I guess..."

"Yes! You'll witness how my boyfriend drives so well but of course, there will be someone who beat my boyfriend to first place."

"Who?"

"You'll see if you come." She smirked purposefully to make me curious and come along with her. What a sly fox. "Woah, am I a rat to you to lure me in?" I asked her moving away from her. She laughed and hit my arm finding it so funny as rolled my eyes and winced in pain by her slap. "Girl, stop!"

"Ok, ok, I'm sorry. You're such a cutie when you're sulking. Cute!" Rosie squeezed my cheek causing me to swat her hand away from me. "At what time?" I asked her when she took out her phone, "At 19:00, don't know why so early today." Rosie said looking at me but me, who is in shock, "Ehhhh!?!? 19:00? My mom won't be happy to see me home late!"
