Teenage dreams [discontinued]

0 5

Saturday! Finally a day when I can just sort of chill. No distractions. No Jeremy Lewis. And I already have my day planned out. I'll make breakfast for me and my mum, complete my weekend part time job at Starbucks, come back home and change and then I can do my own stuff. An easy day. I stretched and groaned, that felt good. I removed my Starbucks staff uniform from the hanger and went to change. Mum wakes up at 8 on Saturdays. Now's 7.45 so she's going to wake up soon. I pulled my hair up into a messy bun and walked into the kitchen. Eggs, cheese, bread and honey baked ham. I heated up the pan and waited.

"Done!" I smiled as I arranged the small table we had, together with the sandwich I made.

"Mmm! Smells good!" Mum said as she walked out of the toilet, refreshed. I didn't realise she came out of the room.

"Morning mum! Come and try the breakfast I prepared!" I motioned her to sit. Taking a bite into the bread, she slowly chewed.

"Does...does it taste bad?" It's the first time I'm cooking and I haven't tried my sandwich yet. My mum gestured me to try my own. I frowned and picked up my sandwich. I bet it tastes bad. Biting into the warm food, I chewed.

"Hey! It actually tastes good!" I smiled at mum who was already halfway through her breakfast.

I washed all the dishes and left the house. Taking a bus, I sat down and waited. In less than 30 minutes, I got off the bus and walked my way to Starbucks. "Morning Kris!" Someone greeted me when I entered the café.

"Morning Relia!" I gave her a warm smile. Aurelia is my best friend before I went to 'Caramon High'. She's still my best friend now. We have decided to work in the same Starbucks so that we can spend more time together and work at the same time. I call Aurelia 'Relia' and she calls me 'Kris'. Show how close we are right? Aurelia has ebony hair tied up into a fishtail braid. She's about the same height as me and I'm glad because I'm really short compared with people my age.

I put on my green apron and pinned my name tag which read 'Kristine'. "Excuse me!" A woman at the counter called out.

"Coming!" Relia shouted as she laughed and ran out. I went out shortly after locking my valuables up.

"One grande Espresso Macchiato." Relia told me and I went straight to preparing it. Soon, more customers started streaming in and with the help of other staff members, we were able to cope.

"How's the new boy in school?" Relia asked me, "You're probably thinking about how I knew about it. I heard it from some girls wearing your school uniform and I also heard that you two are dating! I'm so happy for you but at the same time, jealous of you. It's Jeremy Lewis! How did you meet him? How did you do it?" I frowned after I heard what she said. I knew people would get the wrong idea.

"Listen Relia. I am not dating Jeremy Lewis and I met him because he's in my class, sitting behind me. He's really annoying mind you I don't see why all of you are drooling over him. He's just rich and good looking." I had to admit the last part because it's true.

"Oh my gawd! Ok. I'm rather sad that you're not dating but he's sitting behind you!!! And what did he do to make you think he's annoying?"

"He throws paper balls at me during class, kicks my chair, whispers annoying words from behind. It's really distracting you know?" I sighed.

Checking that there were no customers, Relia continued, "You should be glad that he's giving you attention. You-"

"No. I have a feeling that he has a girlfriend since he's rich and stuff and I do not want to be in any part of 'trying to destroy their lovely relationship'." I hoped I made it clear enough. Relia sighed and attended to the next customer as I thought about what she just said.

"Tall caffé latte!" I heard Relia said and I snapped out of my thoughts and focused on making the drink lest I get a complain for poisoning the customer.

We changed out of our uniforms and left the café together. "Kris. You do know that your guess is right, right? He does have a girlfriend. Emilia Clarkson."

"Ok...why would I care?" I looked left to check for cars before crossing the road.

"I don't know. Thought you'll be interested." Relia shrugged.

"I have told you unteempth times. I am not interested in Jeremy or his live." And here I am sounding rude again.

"Fine..."

We turned our different ways and I walked home slowly. Opening the door to the flat, I saw the owner's son, Michael, looking very frantic. "Hi Michael. Are you looking for something?" I asked, removing my shoes. He nodded.

"I lost my marbles. I was rolling it around when it rolled out if the room and then now I'm looking for it."

I nodded and offered to help him. Crouching down to look for the marble, my back started to sore. Ergh. "Found it!" I heard him shout from the other end of the room a few minutes later.

I stood up and he came up to me and thanked me. I smiled at him and nodded. Watching him run into his own room, I went into our rented one. Choosing a very old crop top, I picked a pants and took a bath. Leaning against the wall after I was done bathing, I took my phone out and opened Instagram. What should I do? I don't follow many people other than close friends and many celebrities. Celebrities. I felt bored so I decided to search 'Jeremy Lewis'. I immediately recognised his face by the profile picture and it had a blue tick so it's probably him. Tapping on his account, it brought me to another page.

His bio was:
18 years old
Model
♡@emiliaclarkson♡

So he does have a girlfriend and he's freaking 18! I bet he stayed back for 2 years. Or he'll not even be in our school, in my class! And him being a model isn't really surprisingly considering his looks and his abs.

HOW THE HECK DO I EVEN KNOW HE HAS ABS?!

Kristine, all you did was accidentally touch his chest. You do not know whether he has abs or not. Gosh! I scrolled through his feed. I found a picture of him in a suit with a blond haired girl. That's probably Emilia Clarkson. I clicked on the photo to confirm and I'm right. She looks beautiful. Her blond hair in curls. She was wearing a necklace with a jewelled cross and a matching pair of earing. Her dress was completely black but short. It was above her knees and it was strapless and she had a shiny clutches with her. As for Jeremy, he wore a black suit with a maroon tie. The same black piercing was still on his left ear and his arms were around her waists. Wow. They look almost perfect together.

On that photo, he commented:
With bae at 2015 teen model festival.♡

Guess that means both of them are models. I went back and continued scrolling down his feed. Oh my gawd. A photo of him and his abs at the gym! So I'm right again. He does have abs. Obviously. Finally getting bored of him, I decided to sort of stalk his girlfriend.

Emilia Clarkson

I typed. Recognising her beautiful blond hair, I tapped on her account and read her bio. I had a habit of reading people's bios.

Model, jeremybaby♡ , 17

Oh, she's a year younger than him. I guess that didn't really matter. Why do I care?

"Kristine...wake up...Kristine..." I heard a familiar voice call out to me. I groaned as I forced my eyes opened.

"Mum...what is it?" I crawled up.

"Your phone kept ringing. You already have 3 missed calls." She passed me my phone.

Looking at the screen, I saw the time. 3.30pm. I've slept for about 1 hour after getting too bored looking at Jeremy and Emilia's Instagram feed. And I skipped lunch. Anyway, my mum's right. I have 3 missed calls from an unknown person. Who would want to talk to me so urgently? I save everyone's number. Maybe not everyone but the closer people like mum, Relia and others. I decided to ignore, thinking it was just a childish prank someone was doing. Just as I put my phone down, it rang loudly.

Uh oh...who could that be?
