Monday came around fast and it was time for my first songwriting class. I got up early and showered in the tiny bathroom with was attached to our room. I got dressed into black skinny jeans and a cream blouse top and black heeled boots. I let my wavy hair down as it wasn't so frizzy as usual. I checked the time on my phone. 8:45am.
I left the bathroom, to find Bruno still asleep in his bed. He was curled up tightly and snoring.
I scanned the room for something to throw at him. I picked up one of his empty beer cans and flicked it at him. He stirred and opened his eyes.
He blinked at me, looking me up and down in confusion and observation.
"What time is it?" He said, his voice sounded huskier in the mornings. Probably because of all the cigarettes he smoked and the alcohol he drank last night.
"8:45."
"Shit."
"You're a fool."
"Thanks."
It only took him five and a half minutes to shower and dress. I figured I'd wait for him since we had the same classes, and I didn't know where the actual class was.
We arrived with two minutes to spare. Hardly any of the students hadn't arrived yet which I was thrilled about, I wasn't good at meeting new people.
I introduced myself to Mrs. Steph and she told me I could choose where to sit.
I sat at the back of the class next to quite a tall girl with long curly ginger hair. We both smiled at one another.
"What's your name?" She asked me.
"Idalis."
"Pretty name, I'm Alexa."
I smiled again, "nice to meet you."
Alexa's eyes fell onto Bruno and she looked uncertain.
"I saw you walk in with Bruno, do you know him already?"
I nodded, rolling my eyes, "I guess you could say that."
She shook her head in disgust whilst looking at him.
I had my reasons for disliking Bruno but I was desperate to know why Alexa didn't like him too.
"Do you not get along with him then?" I asked curiously. She laughed as if I had just said the funniest joke ever.
"The only people that get along with him are the asshole football players and all the girls desperate for sex." She exclaimed.
I screwed my face up in disgust, "gross."
Class started and it was more fun than I expected. Mrs. Steph was a brilliant teacher, kind too.
Every now and then Bruno would make inappropriate comments and the whole class(apart from me and Alexa) would laugh.
Although.. I knew he was doing it a cover up.
I could tell that he cared. I watched him listening to Mrs. Steph sometimes, his eyes filled with ambition.
I had figured him all out.
The bell rung.
Everyone packed up their bags and left. Just as I was shoving books in my bag Alexa asked me if I wanted to go get some coffee with her.
I smiled and said yes.
Alexa's car was cute, it was a small white Mini Cooper convertible.
"My parents bought my driving lessons for me two years ago for my last birthday, and my birthday this year thy got me a car."
