"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."
― Oscar Wilde
Briana's POV
The sun was bright, waking me up out of my sleep, thank God I was feeling much better. I looked at the time and was almost late for my first day!
"Hey have you seen my black ankle boots, Chris?" I yelled out at the door
"The leather ones?"
"More or less-" I spoke under my breath, "Yeah." i yelled out in response
"I think mom took them!" He said poking his head out of the top of the stairs.
"Ugh ok i'll just wear my brown combat boots, throw them down please!" Within seconds the shoes came tumbling down the stairs
"Call me when you get there." He said with his hands on his hips, his curls were shaggy
"I'm pretty sure I can drive there perfectly fine, I don't understand why I always have to call you when I reach my destination."
"Stop arguing, just call." He smiled wide tooth
"Stop smothering me, Dad!" I mocked in response
"It's all because i love you." He said while simultaneously running his fingers through his hair.
I couldn't help but feel butterflies flutter in my stomach when he said that, I know I've always been an over thinker and i know what he meant its just, holding out false hope i guess. I just smiled back and ducked out to head on way.

"THEN BABY YOU SHOULD GO AND LOVE YOURSE- " just as in screaming my lungs out a biker scratches the side of my not so new cherry red ford focus "-WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING YOU TWAT!" I scream out of the window.
I finally pull into the building. "Hey Natasha!" i waved towards her and she returned the gesture including a warm smile.
"Looking lovely ." she mentioned as i got out of the vehicle
"Oh please, look at you! Rather dashing must i say so myself!" I headed towards my office and pulled out my papers, preparing for my classroom introduction speech. "Room 208" I said before heading there.
"Hello Class. I am Ms. Shalm." The class politely responded as i began the carry on with my introduction
"I know its scary to have a new assistant principal, but trust me im super friendly. Im also a social worker in the area and I have been an adjustment counselor at some of your schools. Please feel free to stop by, even if its just to say hello." I summarized briefly and began to head for the door "Oh you, can find me in room 208!" I smiled before exiting the room
I finally arrived at my office and took a deep breathe. Even as an adult I get so anxious. When i've calmed down, i filed some papers and got myself settled just before school was over. There was a light tapping at my door. "Enter."
"Hi Ms. Shalm, i am Rebecca!" And eager petite brunette smiled warmly
"Well, hello Rebecca!" I returned the gesture
"You're very pretty," she looked around and scanned a few pictures "Is this your boyfriend?" She pointed at a picture of Chris
"Thank you, and no that's my best friend." i dawned over the picture
"Hmph, bummer. You guys look cute here, and the way he's looking at you is to die for." She slipped into a seat, "Where was the picture taken?"
