                                      I don't know which part to start. Oh yes, first year as a senior. Green Lane High School. Sounds evergreen but it is not, absolutely not. Trying to bring back memories when last year, my friends and I were promised that even we are not in the same classes, we will stick together; like a glue. I packed my books in my bag and get my school uniform ready. I walked downstairs and have a little breakfast before heading to school. I don't know if I really turn seventeen or I just look like a twenty-seven woman working in a diapers factory.

I turned on the engine and accelerated to school. I killed the engine as soon as I parked the car in the student parking lot. I looked at my watch. 7:04 am. I took a deep breath and hopped off the car. Oh yeah, forget to mention that I'm not a famous and rich person in school. We are all average. Even we are from rich families, as I say, we are all average. I could see that there are a lot of people starting to walk inside the hall for the assembly. I sighed deeply and walked ahead inside the hall. I tip-toed to find my friends and I saw Dana, Chloe and the others sitting and served me a seat. I walked towards them and sat beside Luke.

"Hi babe," he greeted with a smile on his face, with all of his shiny white teeth- okay girl, stop there.

"Hi.. dude, am not your babe," I said, elbowed his ribs and he cried in pain.

"First day of school and you both are starting to be lovey dovey," Dana said, shooking her head.

"This is not lovey dovey, Dana. This is love-hate relationship," I informed her.

"Okay Elly. Okay," Dana gave in.

The assembly sucks. I swear to God that most of the students sleep in the hall including me and Luke. The biggest and the most thing I hate is when the principal started to give his speech. Ugh. It couldn't get any lesser than 20 minutes!

"The seniors are going to wait in the hall after the assembly," he said before he ended his speech and I looked at my watch. 8.00 a.m.

"Chloe, he breaks the record. 40 minutes," I informed Chloe and she nodded.

"Dang it!" she said and continue scribbled something in her sketchbook. All of the students walked out from the hall except all of the seniors. Oh when I said seniors that means including us. I'm still in my school uniform meanwhile Luke can't stop placing his head on my shoulder.

"Luke, get your head off me," I said.

"Mr. Hemsworth, can you please get your head off Miss Jean?" a voice called out from the speaker.

Shit. The principal, Mr. Sherwood saw us! Luke jumped off from his seat and rubbed his eyes. I chuckled and elbowed him on the ribs.

"Idiot," I said, shaking my head.

"Welcome to school as a senior my fellow students. Since this year is your senior year, make it worth and memorable. Here is the name list for the streaming classes..."

"What?" All of the students voiced out-including me and all of my friends.

"Settle down, guys.." Mr. Sherwood said, makes me groaned.

"The list has been made and either you like it or not, that's your class for the whole year except you wanted to change the course with relevant reasons," he continued. The list was read by Mr. Sherwood and suddenly I heard Luke's name has been called.

"Lucas Hemsworth."

"Fuck," he cursed silently. He stood up and throws his back pack over his shoulder and walked to the opposite side.

"Don't worry, Miss Jean. Your boyfriend is just going to the other class. Not to the other planet," Mr. Sherwood said and all of the students laughed.

"He is not my boyfriend!" I found myself shouting those words.

•••

Great. Luke is in the law class even he wanted the medical science class as we both decided last year. Chloe is placed in the architecture class as she wanted and Dana is placed in the account class-also as she wanted. I got mine but then it felt empty without Lucas Hemsworth. People started to dismiss the hall and I walked unwillingly to my locker before I headed to my new class without my best guy in the world (besides my brothers). I headed to my locker and suddenly someone's threw their arms around my shoulders and kissed my cheeks.

"Hey, why so sad?"

Yeah, of course. Idiot Luke. I turned my whole body to him. He tilted his head to the side and smiled. I don't know why people find it very attractive while I find it is normal. He always does that to me when he's trying to figure me out. I pouted.

"Elle..." he called.

"Don't call my name... can't you change your course?" I asked. I don't have any idea but the tears started to roll down to my cheek.

"Hey.. Elle.. listen up.. I'm going nowhere. I'm still here. We can still have our lunch together and yeah.. Orchestra class too!" he said, smiled.

I nodded and wiped off my tears, "Yeah, you're right. I can't hold onto you and cling around you anymore. People always thought that we are together so yeah," I said and turned around-headed to my first class, English Literature.

English Literature was good. Mrs. Carlos started to choose class monitor and so on. No luck for me when I got chose as secretary of the class. I turned my head around the class. Mostly students in the class I recognised and they recognised me as well. There are a few new students but I really don't really have mood to talk to anyone. I'm still mad with the bald principal!

"Miss Jean, do you already miss your boy?" Mrs. Carlos asked, smiled.

"Huh? He is not my-" I said but she cut off my words.

"Enough with your deniable statement, Miss Jean. Okay, we start the class now!" She said.

I sighed and I could see and hear all people around me laughed and whispering to each other. I cut all of the words around me and put my earphones on. Fuck this class!
