Typical Love

Just Ilea

+++So hi guys, my name is Miyo and this is my 1st time to create a story in Wattpad! I hope you'll like it and please leave any comment about my story, thanks! +++

+++EDIT 5/20/14: I replaced the "inspirational quotes" instead with quotes from the other characters in the story. Like their statements in their own point of view. Also I will not determine which character said that to add a little fun! Hope you like it! (It would be also in plain bold form.) +++

I just touched her hand and it was MAGIC!

My first day of school is today and I don’t know why but I think it’s already busy in the kitchen. I think it’s my mom cooking breakfast because since last night she was so excited for my first day in school, I mean who IS excited for school. So I swiftly did all my necessities before taking breakfast in the kitchen. Combed my short blonde hair, things ready in my sling bag, checked my outfit if all is in complete set: dark blue with white stripes shirt, dark blue skirt and leather gray boots. With that all in check, I can make sure nothing bad happens concerning my appearance

"Food's ready dear!" Mom shouted excitedly from the kitchen. And that’s my cue to leave my room

“Good bye room, see you later baby!” I said sarcastically while closing the door. I know my room’s not a living thing or being but it was where I come home every night and took good care of my sleeping needs, which for me is very important.

"Yes mom, I'm coming, I'll be there in a minute!" I replied. I tied my hair back and took my sling bag. I went downstairs and saw my Dad reading a newspaper at the table. Uh oh, he's going to lecture me again on about getting early to the kitchen since for him it’s better to wait for the food to come rather than letting the food wait for you. Since my Dad really is somehow strict and sometimes a control freak but I can still accept that. His attitude helps me become a little bit disciplined but I still tell myself not to become like him since becoming a control freak in the future would give me problems, especially in relationships.

"Ilea, you're A minute late. What did I say about letting the food wait for you?" Dad said with a straight face while eating his omelet.

"Don’t let the food wait for you instead you wait for the food to come to you. Yeah dad, I know.” I replied with that annoying feeling you have when your parents are too worried about you or they become overdramatic.

"Well to break the tension, let's celebrate our baby’s 1st day as a senior in Braille University! Mom said enthusiastically just after preparing our lunch by the counter and sat at the table. Then I came near them and kissed them both.

"Thanks, but you know I'm already 16 ok? So once in a while treat me as a teenager not a baby." I said while eating my breakfast.

"You heard that Nile? She's a teenager already! Our sweet baby is a teenager now, isn’t that adorable!" Mom said while smirking. Dad had no comment on what she said but I could notice he was smirking a little.

"Do you really, really have to say that mom?" I replied with an annoyed face. I swear I think I still I'm still a 1 year old in the eyes of my parents.  But at least my mom is like that, being very optimistic and joyful could match my father’s attitude being serious all the time.

"Well I'm sorry dear, but I think you still look like a freshman!" Mom said and still smirking. Omg, I wondered maybe when I was a freshman I maybe looked like a 3rd grader. And thinking about that freaked me out.

"Now now girls, enough chattering and start getting ready. Ilea, it's your 1st day and I think being late is a bad choice. And you my dear-", Dad looks at Mom. “should start getting ready too for your work. It's your 1st day too you know, don't forget that too hun." Dad said with his usual poker face. His glasses make it plainer and too straight. But hey, I think that was his first time saying "hun" to Mom. So many first timers for my first day in school, I swear what next “first times” will happen after?

So after that what you would call a "celebration", I went to the counter and took my lunch. I kissed my parents again on the cheek before leaving. I waited at the front porch for 5 minutes until I heard the sound of an engine coming this way.  After I left the front porch to get ready for my pickup, I felt the heat coming through my way. Wow, has the ozone layer been this damaged since they invented CFC?

“Mom, Dad, The bus is here already! I’m going to school now, see you later!" I said just when the bus parked in front of our house. The bus was full dark green with the university logo on it. Seems like the university likes trees and leaves so much because the logo already tells that since it has a large tree design in the center part.

I went in the bus and quite frankly it seems that there are already several students sitting inside and talking to each other so I think most of them already knows each other. But there's still a few who seems so silent. Well at least I’m not the only one new here.

"Hey girl, go get your place now and SIT cause we still got a lot of students to pick up with!", the black lady in a university-prescribed driver’s uniform said with her hair tied back. But talk about being hot outside, I think she’s getting the heat too.

"Yes mam." I said politely since I couldn't reheat her head more with her being moody now. So I quickly scanned the perimeter if there were still seats available with someone on it because I really need a tour guide right now for the university since knowing something about this new university would be a good head start for me.

Then I spotted one seat with a guy in a brown jacket with black shirt inside looking at the window with no one beside him. He also wore glasses, like my father, but much cuter. He also had that brown messy hair, but not that messy, his hair was messy in a hot way. I got to figure though he looked nerdy a little bit because of his glasses but if maybe he didn’t wore glasses, he could’ve looked handsome or hot in some way I guess. But oh God what am I doing, now that I’ve realized I was just standing in the bus for minutes looking at him and he also looked back at me at the same time, now it was hell awkward. Then the bus suddenly started moving and I gasped and nearly got out of balance but someone came near me and caught my hand from falling. Once the person's hand touched mine, I felt static flow through my body and because of that I blushed more than I've ever blushed my whole life. The atmosphere of the bus suddenly got quiet and I realize the students were already looking at me and the person who saved me from nearly falling.

While I was regaining my balance, I didn't realize I was still holding the person's hand so I looked up to see who it is and it was him, the one I've been looking at. Now we were looking at each other's faces more closely and just when I thought earlier he was kind a nerdy, well I was wrong, his face was handsome when it was nearer. Then there was this very awkward moment and silence between us. I just couldn’t bring myself to not look at him but his face was like adorable but still handsome. Still I couldn’t let get things more and more awkward around this bus so I had to take my hand away gently since pulling it harshly would let him think I’m disgusted with him and I wouldn’t let him think of that, never.  I’ve pulled the fish and it’s already biting the bait.

"Sorry, I thought you would fall", the guy said innocently. Now we were both looking after I pulled my hand down since it would be very awkward right now if we looked again at each other's faces.

"N-no it's okay, but t-thanks for holding my hand", I said while stuttering and blushing with my hands at my back, I also did some hand combing with my left hand so it would ease the tension I’m experiencing right now but it didn’t help. Then with what just happened, he suddenly said these exact words that may or may have not made my day any better or worse, "Would you like to sit here?" He pointed  the empty sit beside where he sat earlier.

My first day is still starting and all of this has happened already!
