My alarm clock wakes me up at 6.30 and I groan as I click snooze. I try to get at least 10 extra minutes of sleep but I just can't. I get out of bed at 6.40 instead and take a quick shower to rinse the nervousness from my body.
It's Monday the 18th of August. The day school starts and the day summer break ends. Two more days and I'm not grounded anymore. It feels great. I haven't talked to anyone expect my family for the last five days because I don't have a phone and my father took my computer. I can't wait to tell Nat what happened, I'm kind of nervous to talk about it and I don't really know why, but I want to get it over with.
I hope they didn't think I was going to lie to my best friend too. When I tell people that I'm not going to tell anyone, my best friend doesn't count.
I get ready for school and I decide to wear black high wasted shorts with a navy blue t-shirt. I put on my black nikeys, grab my bag and then I leave the house, for the first time in five days. Wow. I walk to my car and I sit down, just enjoying the freedom. Well, I'm not completely free, I'm only allowed to go to school and come back home.
Two days Lexi, two days.
I drive to my school and struggle to find a parking spot as usual. After a while I finally find one and manage to park.
You have to pass the courtyard to enter the main building. Everybody spends their time here on their breaks, it's a nice place with lots of flowers, trees and some swings that nobody really uses.
I walk past a group of guys that are making a lot of noise and I try to see if my friend Dylan is there. He's a troublemaker, always loves to do things he's not supposed to do. He's really nice though and he's one of my closest friends. We are almost the same person, the only difference is, well, he's a guy.
I would marry him, but I sadly can't. He's into boys and he doesn't hide it. He's confident, strong and doesn't really care about anyone's opinions, not that anyone dares to say anything about him either. As I said, we're almost the same person, we act the same way.
I'm walking towards a little coffee house is that's about 5 minutes away from school. It's just a place where literally all the pupils drinks coffee. I walk in there in hope of seeing Dylan or Nat, but none of them are there, as they usually are. I sigh and stand in line waiting for my turn. As I'm waiting I look around to keep myself entertained. I can't really see anything that would entertain me so I give up being nosey and go through my bag to see if I got everything I need. I check everything and I'm not missing anything.
I look up and the line isn't even moving. I groan and take a quick look at my watch. It's 8 o'clock and my first class starts within 15 minutes.
I give up on my coffee and decide to walk to my class which is Philosophy. I smile since I really enjoy those classes. I walk with steady and rapid steps so that I don't run late. That's not something I want, it will just make my dad freak again.
I'm about 5 minutes away when I spot Dylan and I can't help but smile. I'm just about to shout his name to get his attention but I stop myself by putting my hand over my mouth. I'd recognize that black haired boy from miles away. He's standing with Dylan and some other boys. That's where I know him from? He goes to college? What the hell.
What am I going to do? They are standing where I'm supposed to turn to get to my class. I groan and hide myself in the corner of the wall. I check my clock, it's 8.11. I cuss myself out for not being early, so that I'd prevent this but how would I know that Zayn would be going to the same college as me. I groan once again and I peep from the corner wall to see if Zayn left and he did. I sigh in relief and flatten out my shirt making it look neat. Dylan is still standing there at the same spot and I walk towards him.
"Hey Dylan!" I shout from a small distance and he turns around with a smile on his face.
