'Six o'clock it's Monday morning, six o'clock it's Monday morning.'

"Shut up" I hissed as I grudginly switched off the alarm clock on my bedside drawer."It's not even Monday." I hissed again feeling more irratated than I already felt. 'I won't be locked up in prison if I spent five more minutes'.

"Patricia you need to get your lazy bones down here, 15 more minutes to go." Granny called from the kitchen downstairs.

I wonder how my granny can still shout like that considering she's old-I mean, it runs in the family-speaking of family, mum's going to be here today and I'm looking forward to seeing her.

I love my mum a lot and just thinking of her got me all excited.

My brain just clicked."15 more minutes to go. Oh no!, I need to hurry up." I jumped off my bed and sprinted to the bathroom in time to glance at the wall clock reading 7:35.

Having my bath didn't take up to ten minutes so I had enough time to apply makeup.

I'm not really a makeup fan so my makeup usually consisted of a powder, mascara, eyeliner and a lip gloss. I picked up my bag and hurried downstairs skipping two steps at a time as I was the playful type. As I got downstairs, my granny smiled at how beautiful I looked. I responded to her smile by playfully catwalking down the remaining steps. We both laughed and it was over. I loved moments like that when I see my granny smile because it lights up my day.

I grabbed a sandwich and gulped down my orange juice as fast as I could.
I ran out and began to contemplate on taking my bike or trekking the distance. I remembered I was late and decided to take my bike.

I got to school just in time for the first period. After rushing to my locker, I got my books out and hurried to my Chemistry class. My Chemistry class is always boring because my teacher-Mr Clifford-talks like a slug and likes to give a lot of projects.

"Miss Barnes, can you please give the definition of stoichiometry?" Mr Clifford called out to me.

"Stoichiometry is the study and calculation of quantitative relationship of the reactants and products in chemical reactions" I replied him.

I'm not a nerd actually but I do read my books so answering that question was no big deal for me.

"Thank you miss." He answered adjusting his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

My thoughts began to wander back to the events of this morning and I remembered that my mum was returning from Dubai today.

"Do you mind Miss Barnes?" Mr Clifford interrupted my thoughts.

Then,I glanced up and noticed that he needed my response.What was he talking about? "Not at all". I said

"You can sit beside her Mr Hamilton".

I looked up and was mesmerised at the teratical sight in front of me. The guy standing at the front of the class looked like an abercrombie model.He stood six feet tall with muscular arms bulging out of his black t-shirt and as he came closer to me, I realised that he had green eyes that twinkled as he walked to his seat.

He came to the seat beside me and sat down. "Hi I'm Eric and you are?" He asked and stuck out his hand. I looked at his hand and at his face, then back to his hand and he smiled at me. I waited a while and I didn't want to be the snobbish type so I took his hand firmly in mine.

"Patricia Barnes". I replied and returned his smile.

"Can I call you Pat?" He asked looking deeply into my eyes like he was reading my thoughts.

"No problem, I think I like that". I answered turning to face the teacher.

The bell was rung and I hurried out of my class to find my best friends.
