I lie on my bed with my book and reading light currently lost in INSURGENT by Veronica Roth. It's ten thirty when my Mom opens my door . "why are you still awake its time for bed, you have all day at school tomorrow to read that book" she says. I roll my eyes, the thought of school pisses me off. " but mom I must read more about Tris and Tobias!" . Tbh Tobias is just perf I just fangirl over him....even though he isn't real. But hey a girl can dream. After about five more minutes of me hopelessly trying to convice my mom to let me stay up, I turn off my booklight off and go to sleep.

..............

That next morning I wake to my dumb alarm my mom made me put on my phone. I literally want to rip my phone apart for disrupting my slumber but well, phone = life. I dismiss the alarm and just lay on my bed, trying for a couple more minutes of sleep when my mom yells for me to go downstairs. I sigh, grab my sweater and go downstairs.

We get into the car and drive to school. " dammit!" my mom cursses whle rummaging throuhgh her purse. And off couse she left something. We drop off my sister and head to my highschool. My brother and I get out of the car " have a good day at school!" yells my mom. "bye!" I say looking over my shoulder walking to the cross walk. I wait for the red 'no walking' light to change, I look to my left and see him. He sits on the passenger's seat off his brother's mustang waiting for a green light. I try to look away but I'm too late, I caught his eye. He gives me a goofy smile and waves at me. I blush and smile back. The crosswalk sign changes and I start to the other side trying to look cool. But off course it was a fail when I then trip as someone steps on my shoelace. I was never good at tying my shoes but I've never fallen lol. And in my embarassment I dust myself off and enter school.

I walk to the freshman lockers and see my pals on our usual corner.

"Hazel!" yells my friend Lucile. She has her iphone out currently counting down the days till she sees One Direction at the rose bowl. She's an interesting one. She looks up from her phone and her eyes widen " target spotted" she says with a grin. I turn around an spots who she's talking about. Its a boy with curly hair and a soccer sweatshirt, our codename for him was Trapezoid lol.

" so, you gonna go talk to him?" I say making a weird face while poking her in the stomach. " no...." she replies looking at the floor. I frown. " c'mon its time for that whole 'new year, new me' thing, and this year you're gonna talk to him!" I say excitedly. " I have talked to him" she says with a smile. "time for a conversation other than 'hey can I borrow a pencil'" I say laughing. "for your information it was a pen" she retorts. "haha ok". I turn looking at the hub off people inside and I spot him. He's wearing a flannel shirt with jeans and Vanz. He walks to his locker, he sees me and waves. "hi Hazel" " hey Logan" Next thing i know the bell rings and I head to biology.

......------------

" ugh I want to go home" I say walking to class .

" dude you just got here ." says Lucile . We stop at the space between our two classes, as always. " I know but I just miss my bed....and my fridge" I say throwing a small tantrum. "preach!" she exclaims rasing one hand while the other holds her binder. "Har har har" I say flailing my arms.

"Hey where is Marlene?"

"Late as always" she says scrolling through her phone. The warning bell rings and we part ways. I enter my bio class saying hi to my fellow weirdos as always with excitement. I wonder how I seem to others cause I'm always bursting with energy. Eh who cares. I sit in the front of class,sadly, but at least i can see the clock. After a while I began eating my Pringles in class. "Single as a Pringle" I say to myself.--Thank god the bell rings . One class down, 5 more to go. I sigh, grab my things and leave the classroom.
