"Lotte wake up! You're going to be late for school!" I shot up in my bed, almost hitting my head against the book shelf above my head, and I quickly glanced at the clock that stood on my desk. It was a quarter past seven already! I overslept! How could this happen! I have never been late and I would like to keep it that way!

I quickly got out of bed, grabbed some random clothes out of my closet and sprinted to the bathroom I shared. When I wanted to open the bathroom door, I immediately noticed that it was locked so I started banging on the door.

"Micky! BANG Open this door immediately or I will kick your ass! BANG Micky! I'm not joking! BANG Open the freaking door or I will kill you! BANG I'm already late! BANG Open the door! BANG I hate you! BANG"

I saw the lock slowly turning from red to white and I immediately pulled the door open. Since, I was already late, I didn't have the time to kick her ass, but I made internally a note to do it as soon as I got home.

I quickly changed, brushed my teeth, put my hair in a ponytail and sprinted downstairs. I had 20 minutes left to go to school, but only the bike ride there was already 20 minutes, so I had to leave right now if I wanted to come on time.

I ran to the kitchen, grabbed my bag and sprinted outside to grab my bike. When I was ready to leave, I noticed my mother running outside with a paper bag in her hand and I internally groaned. "Don't forget your lunch! Have a nice day at school! Don't forget to pay attention and be nice to the teachers!"

I just grabbed the paper bag and continued my way to the street, quickly biking to school as soon as I reached the street. I threw the paper bag with my "lunch" in the first trash can I saw. Those lunches are the worst lunches anyone could get. The bread tastes terrible and I already feel the urge to throw up when I smell it.

I biked as fast as I could, since I had miss Vernon first. English had never been my favourite subject, especially not in this school. The English of all of the teachers was terrible. I don't know why, but I don't think you could find a good English teacher in Haarlem or The Netherlands in general.

When I arrived at school, I quickly parked my bike and ran inside to room 13. The second I stepped foot inside the classroom, I heard the bell ring, signalling that the first lesson had started.

"Miss Williams, I suggest you take your seat before I change my mind and send you out of the classroom because you were too late."

I felt my cheeks redden and I rushed towards my seat at the back of the classroom, next to my best friend Lauren. In front of us were our other two best friends seated, Liam and William. I knew William and Lauren already since I was two, and two years ago Liam came to our school and we immediately took him into our group. He was the sweetest guy ever.

"Hey Lottie, you almost broke your record of not being late." Lauren said while giggling and winking at me. I just shot her a glare and unpacked my stuff before Miss Vernon could say something about it.

After the two most boring hours of my life, English was finally over. Lauren, Liam, William and I walked towards our lockers to change our books. Just seven more hours to go. Why did Mondays have to be this long? Two hours less would have been fine as well, but no, we still need to learn so much, we have to stay at school from 8 until 4.

"Why so sour Lottie? Didn't you like English? I guess you're going to like the next two lessons better! History, your favourite subject! The only problem is that none of us except you are stupid enough to take history" William said, while throwing one of his arms loosely over my shoulders.

I just glared at him and shrugged my shoulders while getting my history books out of my locker. Everyone always thinks William and I are a couple, because he is always very touchy with me, always has been, but I know that he doesn't like me that way. I liked him for five years and I still have a weak spot for him, but I accepted that we were never going to happen and I'm more than content with staying the best of friends two people could be.

"Guys, what are you doing after school? I thought, maybe we could hang out? It's so long ago since the four of us have hung out together!" Liam said.

Lauren and William immediately agreed with him and praised him for his idea. Then they all turned to me and stared me down, while I was awkwardly looking at the ground, shuffling with my feet while my head was getting redder and redder. I probably already looked like a cooked tomato and I knew that my friends saw it as well.

"Why are you turning red Lottie? Is there something we should now? Are you not available tonight? If not, you better give us a damn good reason and maybe then we won't kick your ass." Lauren Playfully said to me while giving me a slight push.

"Shut up Lo. I'm sorry guys, I already have plans this evening. You all know that I wanted to stop playing field hockey, right? Well, my parents decided that I should keep on playing another sport, beside tennis and they decided that I am going to play rugby. They didn't even ask me if I wanted to play rugby! So, tonight is my first training, which is why I can't hang out with you guys."

My friends all looked at each other and then looked at me, bursting into laughter. I just mumbled to myself something along the lines of "you're such great friends" when they wouldn't stop pointing at me while laughing and trying to form a sentence with the words you and rugby.

After a few minutes, they calmed down and William was the first one to say something, as usual.

"Oh my god Lottie, you're going to play rugby. This is hilarious! What if we all come and watch you? That would be great. This is definitely a valid excuse. Wow I don't think I'm ever going to get over this. This is the high of my day for sure."

I just glared at him while Liam and Lauren started laughing again.

"Guys come on! It isn't even that funny! And you want to know what the worst part is? I have to play with boys! There isn't even a girls' team for people my age!" This caused another fit of laughter from my friends, but after a few minutes they all stopped laughing when they saw my annoyed expression.

"Aww Lottie, I'm sure it's going to be fine! Look at it like this, maybe you can finally get a boyfriend! Then you don't have to be forever alone!" Lauren exclaimed while throwing her arms in the air.

As soon as she finished talking, the bell rang and I quickly gathered all of my stuff. We all said our goodbyes and we parted ways. I went to the history classroom while the others had a free period. This is going to be a long day. I'm sure I haven't heard the end of me playing rugby yet.
