Its 7a.m and I seriously don't want to go to school today. My life has been shitty lately. My french teacher hates me, my grades suck, I never get a solo for choir, too many family problems, and so much more. Wow, I'm a total disaster.

-beep, beep, beep, beep....-

My alarm clock goes off and as soon Ryan Secrest talks about Miley Cyrus and her wild side, I hit the snooze button as hard as I can because of how annoying the sound does to my ear.

"Helayna, wake up! You're going to be late for school!", my mom yells from the kitchen.

Can I just pretend I'm sick so I wouldn't go to school? Actually, I am sick.. sick of life. Maybe if I didn't go to school no one will ever notice.

I finally get up and make a long yawn. I stretch my arms up high until I feel the sunlight hit me. I do the same routine every weekdays. Get up, wash my face, put on my big square glasses, brush my teeth, blah blah blah...

I walk to my closet and pick out my black tank top, purple cardigan, and dark blue jeans. I leave my dark brown hair down and add a little braid to the side.

I look at myself on the mirror and put on my fake smile, hoping that today will be a good one!

"Come on, Helayna! Your gonna be late!"

I rushed down stairs, grabbed my gray backpack and quickly put on my black converse.

"Alright, go to the library after school because I won't be picking you up on time. Have fun at school, honey.", my mom says while dropping me off near the stairs at school.

How can I have fun at school? Its a hell hole in there!

I walked up the stairs of Rowland High School and headed to my locker. When I was walking closer to my locker, I noticed a tall blonde boy wearing a nirvana shirt, black skinny jeans, and a gray beanie right next to my locker. He's probably new at this school because I've never seen him before. I ignored the boy and opened my locker to put my old, lame french book inside.

Someone tapped on my shoulder and when I looked to the side, it was the blonde boy awkwardly standing there.

"Hey um, I'm new here and uh.. I was wondering if you can help me find my classes. My name's Luke, by the way. Luke Hemmings.", he had a deep, sleepy australian accent.

"Yeah, sure. I'm Helayna. Helayna Polpantu.", I said with a friendly smile.

I was expecting him to say something next but instead, we just stood there so awkwardly. "So are you gonna show me your schedule or...?", I chuckled trying to make it less awkward.

"Oh yeah ha, I'm sorry I... Here ya go."

He is literally the most awkwardest guy I've ever met. But he's pretty cute so I guess that's a good thing, right?
