I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock for school. 6:45am. Ugh. I roll (literally roll) myself out of bed and end up on the floor, hitting my elbow. "Oww." I groan. I manage to get myself up. I stand up and look in the mirror, I hate bed hair. As I'm walking down stairs, I trip over something, I don't even know what but I fall, tumble down the stairs, hitting my knee on the way down. I look over to see my mum at the breakfast bar trying to keep her smile in but fails miserably. She starts laughing, then laughed whilst clapping like a seal and finally, crying with laughter. I honestly didn't find it that funny but I just went along with it. I got up and walked, limped over to the breakfast bar and sat down. "Quite an entry there." My mum says while taking a sip from her coffee, trying to hide the smirk. I chuckle and start to eat my breakfast. Not thinking, I put my hand on the knee I fell on. "Ouch." I look down at it. "Oh, that's great. I'm already getting a bruise." I look up at my mum who's laughing again. I chuckle and go up to my room to get ready for school.
----------
"Bye Mum!" I call out from the front door but she comes running down the stairs to give me a hug. "Bye sweetie, have a great day!" She kisses me on the forehead and gives me a hug. "Yep, now get off me so I can go to school." I chuckle. "Bye Cookie!!" I yell. Cookie is our dog, but sometimes I feel like she's more than just our dog. She wags her tail at me as a gesture of saying bye. I wish she could be an inside dog, mum doesn't believe in 'having animals inside the house'. I give a sad look to Cookie as if I wished she could be inside. I shut the door and start walking. I walk to school because we live really close. As I'm walking, I look down at my knee and it doesn't look any better, probably worse. Oh well. I look up and decide that I'm going to listen to music so I stop and grab my earphones out of my bag. I start walking and plug in my earphones and scroll through my music. I decide to play Don't by Ed Sheeran because it's been stuck in my head forever. I play the song and go into my own little world until I feel someone tap on my shoulder. I turned my head around and nearly had a heart attack. It was my best friend, Jess. I scream so loudly, everyone that's walking the same way I am turned around or looked ahead. I ripped my earphones out and started laughing so hard. "Jess! I could've have a heart attack! You scared the crap out of me." I laughed. "That was the whole point." Jess chuckled. Jess is so much, what's the word. Better, better than me. Ugh, why can't I be like her? She's tall and skinny and pretty, nice, funny, smart. Everything I'm not. I chuckle as well so she doesn't think I just went off into my own little world, even though I did. "So what have you got today, Renee?" Jess asked me, very politely. Oh yeah, and she's very polite too. "I've got..." I pull my timetable out of my pocket because I honestly can't remember what I have. "Uhh, I've got English, Science, Art, PE. Ew. And History. You?" "Well, I'm in pretty much most of your classes so English, Geography, Art, Music and History." Well as I said before that Jess was everything I'm not, that was a lie. I'm just a little bit smarter than her. I'm in the higher Science class. But I'm in the lower PE class. Honestly though, who really cares about PE anyway? "Nice." I reply back. We talk for most of the way to school. Most of the time I walk with my head down but just as I put my head up, I realise that we are already at school. "Here already?!" I say, surprised. "Yep, I guess time flies when you're having fun." Jess smiled. "I guess it does." I chuckled.

As we leave English (which was one of the most boring lessons ever), I realise that I have to go to Science all alone while Jess goes to Geography. "Okay, so I'll meet you in our regular spot after class?" I say to Jess. Jess walks off in the other direction for Geography. "Yep! Have fun!!" She calls out and I open my mouth to reply but she had already left. I walk off and make my way to Science. I try to walk as slow as I can because our Science teacher doesn't mind if we are late. I turn one of the corners and the worst thing happened. I bumped into someone and they nearly fell over. Plus I dropped all of my books and papers everywhere. "Oh my gosh, I am so so sorry! Are you okay?" They say to me. I look up to see who they were because the voice didn't sound too familiar. When I look up, I gulp. He is so cute. What?! Is this even possible for someone to be so cute? Oh yeah, I haven't answered him. "I-I um, yeah. I-I'm I'm fine. Are you okay? I'm really sorry." Great, now he's going to think I'm an idiot because I couldn't talk properly. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm more worried about you than me." He chuckled. I nearly blushed but I try to hold it in. "Here let me help you." He says, bending over to grab some of my books and papers. That's it, I can't hold it in anymore. I start to blush a little bit but he didn't notice. "No, it's fine. I've got it." I bend down too and I accidentally headbutt him! Could things get any worse?! This must be one of the clumsiest days, rolling out of bed onto the floor, tripping down the stairs and now this. The worst one. I cover my mouth with my hands. "I am so so sorry!!! Are you alright?" "I'm fine. Are you okay?" He laughed. "Yeah, I'm okay." I smile. But I'm not okay, I'm really really not. I just found this really cute guy and I manage to headbutt him! Who does that? He picks up the remaining of my books and papers until someone calls out, "Hahaha are you serious dude? You can do much better than that." But he just ignores it. He stands up and I realise that he's quite tall. "I believe these are yours." He laughs. "I believe they are mine." I chuckle. He hands the books over to me but doing so, his hands touch mine. !!!!! They're so big but so tiny at the same time. "Woah, why are your hands so cold?" He says to me, touching my hands. "I-I uh, I didn't even know they were cold!" I laugh and he does too. I swear, I'm such an idiot when it comes to talking to boys. "Well, I-uh, I better get to class." He says quietly. "I better get to class too." I laugh. We both stand in silence for about 5 seconds until he said, "Do you maybe.. Uh. Want to hang out, some time?" He blushes. "I-I would love to hang out with you some time." I say quietly. "Oh uh, I guess I should give you my number then." He smiles and grabs a piece of paper and a pen out of his bag and I see him writing down the number, so I knew it wasn't a joke. He handed it to me, and replied with, "Oh and um, I'm Luke, by the way." He laughed. I like that name, I don't know why but I've just always liked it. And it suits him too. "Well," I say, reaching into my bag. I grab out a piece of paper and a pen too. I write my name and number on the piece of paper. "I might as well I've you mine too." I smile, handing him the piece of paper. He reads it and smiles. "Well Renee, it was really nice talking to you." Oh my gosh, he said my name!!! "It was really nice talking to you too, Luke." I smile, blushing a little. I hope he doesn't notice. "So, I better get to class." He chuckled. "Me too." I laugh. "Bye Renee." He waved and started walking off. "Bye Luke." I say, while waving as well. Wow, well that was something I haven't experienced before. I walk off to class with the biggest smile on my face. He seemed to like me okay, I just hope that we can be friends.

Luke's POV -
What? What just happened? I bumped into this gorgeous girl, knocked over her books and headbutted her. What an idiot. She's probably never going to call me. What if I just call her myself? But then I would seem like I'm desperate. Why do I have to mess up so much when it comes to girls? Well, I guess I just have to hope for the best. She seems like a really nice girl. I hope she is. What if I actually date her...? I'd be even more of an idiot. I hate myself.

Renee's POV -
I decide not to tell anyone about what happened, it's not like it was that important anyway. When I arrive home from school, I go straight up to my room to do homework. "Renee, dinner!!" I hear being called from the kitchen when I'd been doing homework for about 1 and a half hours. I got so hungry. After I finished dinner, I decided to go have a shower. And finally when I got out of the shower I see my phone vibrating, and it was an incoming call. I looked at the number to see if I could recognise it. Then it hit me, Luke! I quickly went to go find my shorts that I put the number in, before the bins stopped ringing. I found the number and looked at it and it was the same number as the one on my screen. I was getting a call from Luke. This was it.
