Flower crowns

Chapter 3

I wake up not in my covers or in my pjs but on the cold hard floor in yesterday's clothes.

I groan and get up shocked at what I see in the mirror. My hair is a mess and there are black bags starting to form under my eyes. There are black streaks going down my cheeks, from the little mascara I put on everyday, and I look half awake. My face is slightly flustered from all my crying yesterday.

I head to the bathroom and have a quick shower, washing away all the sleep and dried up tears. I hop out and look at my self again in the bathroom mirror. My face is red, from the heat, and my green eyes stand out like usual. My dirty blonde hair falls just below my shoulders. I smile at myself but it doesn't reach my eyes.

I grab two hair ties and put my hair in two french braids. I go back to my room and grab out some clothes for the day. I pull out a grey t-shirt and blue jeans, I put them on my bed. I place my white sneakers next to it and examine my outfit for the day. 

I've never been a fashion girl when it comes to clothes but I like to have a chill style. Simple is better, that's what my mum always says.

I get changed and go down stairs greeting my mum with a big hug. I check the time and mentally scream.

I was going to be late if I didn't leave soon. I grab an apple and run to the door, blowing my mum a kiss goodbye as I walked outside into the cool spring air.

I walk with my backpack on my shoulder and I head to school.

I rush inside and grab all my books just before the bell rang. I head to my next class and rush in the door.

I look for an empty seat and the only one is beside Hunter. Not that I mind sitting next to him.

I smile at him and sit down at the desk on his left. He looks at me and smiles back.

I grab my whiteboard and marker and start writing, Hey I'm Katerina Waters I know your new here and I was wondering if you wanted any help with anything?

I show him what I wrote and he reads it, with his sunglasses on. "Hi Katerina, I'm Hunter but you probably already know that. Um if I need any help I will be sure to ask you, thanks."

I smile at him and rub off what I wrote on my whiteboard. "Why are you writing on a whiteboard?" He asks.

Here comes the truth. 

I start to write but am interrupted by the teacher walking in. "Now class open your books to page 55 and start reading!"

I quickly write, I will tell you later. Then I open my book.

He looks at me, a bit confused, but I shrug it off. He will have to wait and find out about my whiteboard situation. 

~•~•~•~

"Why are you always making flower crowns?" I hear a voice say to me.

I look up and find Hunter looking down on me. I shrug and go back to picking daisies and putting them together.

"Are you going to answer me?" He asks.

I shake my head but don't look up. He starts to walk away when he stops then comes back and sits down in front of me.

I finally finish my chain and I put it on my head. I look up and see he is still there watching me.

I smile realising he is the first person to actually stay with me.

"Katerina?" I nod my head showing that I'm listening. "Why were you writing on a whiteboard earlier?"

I look to my left and grab my whiteboard and marker about to write the answer when I'm interrupted. Again.
