Heavy knocks on the door woke me up from a deep sleep. Lying on my stomach, I raise my face, looking for my cell phone under the white pillowcase.
As soon as I find it, I pull him it, turning it on. The strong light of the cell phone makes me close my eyes quickly, feeling them burn, but as soon as it passes, I open my eyes, seeing that it's seven fifteen.
- Malia! We're going to be late, and you know whose first class it is! - I hear Joshua's voice through the door, making me turn around quickly.
- I'll try to be quick! - I scream and I can imagine my friend rolling his eyes with this lie.
- You have half an hour before Cantrall's class starts! - he speaks in a loud tone, and then I hear his steps move away.
Shit, every time this happens, and always on the days that Cantrall gives the first classes.
I throw the blankets to the side, and sit on the edge of the bed before getting up and running to the bathroom. I have to be very fast, but this world doesn't suit me, especially when it comes to getting ready.
I turn on the shower and take the white towel inside the sink cabinet, leaving it hanging next to the shower. I take off my sweater and put it up the sink, entering the shower
I don't take much time , I just rub myself and wet hair quickly.
I leave the shower, wrapping myself in the white towel, going towards the sink, taking my toothbrush and the paste. I brush my teeth while counting the seconds in my mind. I wash my mouth and leave the bathroom, going to bed to check the time on my cell phone.
Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes to put on my clothes and fix my hair.
I throw my cell phone on the bed and run to the closet, hunting for the damn blue skirt and the white shirt with the school logo.
As soon as I find them, I put on the shirt and button the buttons quickly, leaving the first buttons open.
I put on the skirt, the sneakers and take my backpack that is thrown in the corner. I leave the closet and go to the dressing table, starting to fix my face and hair.

- she's going to eat you alive - Joshua reassures me as we rush our steps in the school corridor.I'm fucked, very fucked. It's been ten minutes since Cantrall's class started and I'm afraid to enter the room and be humiliated in front of everyone.
- good luck! - Joshua pushes me towards the classroom where the biology class is happening.
I swallow dryly, feeling my legs weaken when I knock on the door. The room that was answering something Cantrall asked was silent, and the sound of her high heels echoed nearby.
The door is open and I don't avoid bowing my head to the woman who looks at me harshly.
- ten minutes late, Baker - her voice is firm and bitter, making me shrug my shoulders.
I look up at the woman, trying not to get carried away by a vulnerable image. I keep my gaze on hers, who looks at me coldly.
- come in, but know that your delay will have consequences - she says seriously, making me swallow dry and pass by her in silence.
My classmates look at me with curiosity and sarcasm, which I'm used to. It seems that almost no one likes me in this place, and I don't even remember doing anything for it, except the supposed rumor they created about me.
I avoid looking at them and go to the row where my desk is, in the center of the room, at the second front table.
Unfortunately for me, the girl who sits in front of me is not present, leaving me facing Cantrall's table, which makes me nervous. The woman already keeps her suspicious gaze on me whenever she has the opportunity, without the girl to hiding me, I am her perfect target.
