Above is who Poppylian William's is.

Poppy's POV

I'm woken up by my stupid phone alarm, well my friends calling alarm. I tiredly put my arm out to answer the call and bring it to my ear.

"Hello.", I speak into the phone to my best friend Rose.

"Hey girl, hurry and get up I'll be at your house in 5 minutes. If your not up when I finish having your nanas famous breakfast, I'll wake you up myself. See you soon, love ya. Mwah.", she says and sends a kiss through the phone.

I mentally groan. I don't want to get up out of my warm bed and get ready for school. But knowing and having a friend like Rose, is like being friends with the devil. I tiredly get out of my bed, throwing the blankets off me and making my way to my bathroom.

I look at myself in the mirror and growl under my breath. Eww I look hideous. I take my hair out of its ponytail and put the hair tie back onto my wrist and start brushing my hair then fish braid it. I wasn't up for putting on any makeup for today but I still did the basics, foundation, concealer, mascara and my strawberry and mango lip balm. I then walk out of my bathroom and to my closet and pick out an outfit to wear. If it wasn't for Rose, I would put on track pants and a random t-shirt but because she's my best friend and won't let me step out of the house like that I have to look decent. I decide to go for blue denim high waisted shorts and a white t-shirt tucked into my shorts along with my black and white low cut converses. I then grab my bag, phone, wallet and make my way downstairs.

As I got to the kitchen as usual I see Rose in the kitchen eating my nanas famous homemade breakfast. I smile and run up to her and tackle her into a hug.

"Hey best friend.", I greet.

"Hello. So how was getting out of your warm, comfy bed?", she mocks and I frown at her.

"Horrible."

Rose laughs and I slap her arm but we both laugh in the end anyway. We both eat our breakfast our nana has cooked both of us before exiting out of the house for school, not before giving both my nana and gramps a kiss on the cheek.

You see ever since I moved to New York with my mother to live with my nana and gramps Rose has always been there for me. I remember exactly how we met.

Flashback

"Mom Nana and I are going to get ice cream.", I tell mom while she nods and gives me a kiss on the cheek before getting back to working on a few papers.

Nana and I both enter the amazing ice cream parlour that we had pasted the other day. As we were in line ordering our ice cream a little girl crashed into me, making me stumble and hurt my head on the counter. I turn around and meet a girl with two braids in her brown shiny hair picking herself up from the ground. She looked at me and offered me a smile and I gave one back.

"Hey sorry.", she apologises and gives me a small smile.

"Hey. That's okay it was only an accident."

"My names Rose", she says offering out her hand to shake. "What's yours?"

"Hi. My names Poppylian but you can call me poppy.", I answer and we both Shake each others hands and smile.

"Poppy darling... What flavour do you wa- oh who's this poppy?", my nana asks me.

"Nana this is Rose and Rose this is my nana.", I answer and introduce both of them to one another.

"Hello Mrs.", Rose politely says.

"Who are you hear with?", my nana asks Rose.

"My mom.", Rose answers and at that time her mom comes and asks where she had gone off to.

"Oh shoot. Sorry Rose love but we have to get home Becuase I have to get to work. We can get ice cream tomorrow okay.", Roses mother states and I look at rose to see her happy face turn into a sadness.

"Nana can Rose have ice cream with us?", I ask with my famous puppy dog eyes.

"Oh I really wi-", Roses mom goes to say but my nana cuts her off.

"Oh no. It's really fine. I can drop her off straight after. I'll just need your address.", my nana says and Roses mother agrees and rose and I both were excited.

From there on we were best friends. Like best friends we haven't seen in so long.

Present day

So from now on from that very day, we have been best friends. Who knew something so small could lead us to us being basically sisters. She's like my other half I never knew I had while I guess I'm hers. I also decided to tell her about my past. Even though she doesn't know who my father is she doesn't like him and because she found out that Lily A.K.A. QueenB at our high school is living with my father she also thinks she's a bitch. So yeah we are pretty close and of course she tells me everything, it's just how we role.

Once we get to school and Rose finds a parking spot, I just sit in the seat and groan and cross my arms over my chest. Rose looks at me with weird eyes before bursting into laughter.

"Oh come on. This is our last year, it's going to be fine. Hurry up and get out of the car before I drag you out myself.", she threatens and I quickly throw the seatbelt off me and jump out of the car, which makes Rose erupt into laughter.

"Oh how I love the effect I have on you.", she says and gives me a wink before we both link our arms together and make our way into the place I like to call hell.

We meet Daisy by our lockers and when she notices us walking in, she automatically jumps on us and greets us with a hug.

"Hey guys. I missed you guys so much.", she screams into our ears and we untangle ourselves and get the books we need for class sorted then start small talk before the bell rings. As the bell signals for us to head to class, we all split up and make our ways to our first class of the day.
