The Real World in Jelsa

Chapter 1

  It was a Friday morning, and Juvel, as usual, slept through her alarm, though it woke everyone else, it didn't manage with her.

  "Juvel! Get up, you have to get ready for school!", called out her mom, from the kitchen.

  Juvel's eyes shot open, she stared at the ceiling for a moment,"It's for today!", her mother called out again, and that was enough for her to get up.

  She didn't have time to make her bed, so she just stretched her blanket out, and headed to the restroom inside her room.

  She got ready in a flash, and ran downstairs, to the open kitchen, where her mom was reheating her waffles she made an hour ago.

  "Where's Dad?", Juvel asked her mom.

  "He's already at work", her mom replied, getting the waffles out the microwave and placing them on the bar counter.

  "Oh..", Juvel sat at the stool, to eat her squishy waffles.

  "*Gasp* It's already 7:56!", Juvel shoot out her seat, got her backpack, and dashed to the car.

  Her mom took her time to get in the car, which pretty much felt like forever to Juvel.

  When they got to Juvel's high school, Juvel rushed out of the car, and even forgot to say goodbye to her mother.

  She rushed through the halls, and entered her classroom.

  "Late again, Miss Juvel?", asked her irritated teacher, who was writing something on the chalkboard.

  Everyone stared at her, but then went back to their work, since it was kinda becoming a normal event in the morning.

  Juvel disappointedly marched to her usual seat, next to her friend, Max.

  "How are you always late, what do you even do in the mornings?", whispered Max.

  "I don't know, and I sleep-in", Juvel whispered back, getting her stuff out.

---

  After the long first periods, it was finally lunch, which meant, free time and chatting with Max, without having to whisper, or worry about getting caught talking when they're supposed to work and stay quiet.

  Juvel headed to the cafeteria, hoping to meet up with her best friend at their usual tables.

  When she got there, she immediately looked around for Max, and she spotted him.

  The two got their trays and picked out what they wanted to eat, then they sat down at their usual spot.

  "So, what do you want to talk about?", asked Max, while he started eating.

  "Hmm... Oh, I know!", Juvel excitedly replied.

  "What?"

  "Do you know what a ship is?"

  "Yeah, a ship is a vehicle that floats on water"

  "Not that ship! I mean when you pair two people up"

  "Oh, that's a thing?"

  Juvel disappointedly facepalmed.

  "Yes, it is a thing", Juvel replied a bit annoyed.

  "Sorry, I focus on important stuff, not some trash people do"

  "It's not trash! Well, at least not the one I'm talking about"

  "And that would be?.."

  "Jelsa"

  "Gell- what now?"
