*****

My name is Veena Trells and I'm 17 years old. I'm in my senior year of Valley High School and I am the captain of the school's cheerleading team. It was really hard to get that position. My parents run a home supply store which they both have saved up for since they got together. They are really sweet and sometimes, I wonder when I will have a relationship like theirs.. Most of the girls, being their slutty selves, in my school, throw themselves to boys and I guess I'm the only virgin left. It's alright though, I'm practicing abstinence anyway. Then I have a little 5 year old brother, Caleb who is really obnoxious sometimes but I still love him. You gotta love your family anyway.

"Veenaaaaaaa! Veena! Veena! Veena! Look at my caaaaar! It's the fastest car ever and it can travel faster than you can shower in an hour!" Caleb said proudly as he showed me his new, small red car he got for his birthday 2 days ago and he hasn't put it down ever since.

"Yes, Caleb. It looks really awesome!" I replied, smiling at him. Though I think it just looks the same as his any other toy cars.

He smiled at me showing his two deep dimples he have on both sides of his cheeks. Something Caleb and I had gotten from our father. I continued watching the football match on the television, gaping at the players' astonishing skills while Caleb went on to find mom; he's hungry I guess. As I continued to gawk at the players, my iPhone vibrated showing my bestfriend's name, Allie, on the caller's ID.

"Meet me at the usual. NOW! There's an emergency and I need you," Allie pleaded.

She sounded really melancholy. But I have my doubts because she's Allie and I know her too well. Her "emergency" is most probably i'm-bored-come-and-entertain-me kind of emergency.

"Alright babe, i'll be there in 15. See you!" I decided, since I am bored myself too.

I ran to my room, put on my white muscle tee shirt and paired it with a pair of light washed high waisted shorts. I went to the mirror and powdered my face then just combed my fingers through my long, wavy, brown locks. I took my small shoulder bag and put in my wallet and phone before slinging it over my body. I quickly sprayed on my Aqua Mist Victoria Secret perfume and I'm all set. Well, not yet since I still haven't put on my sandals.

"Mom! I'm going out to meet Allie at the cafe!" I yelled as I walked to the front door of our house.

"Alright, but be home by 10pm! You have school tomorrow!" my mom yelled back.

Ugh school tomorrow. I hate school! Especially all the tests and exams and stuff. But I love my friends and my team. They are literally the reason why I still go back to that hellhole, which people call school.

I walked into our usual hangout place, Marl's Cafe, mainly because of their hot and cute baristas and also because we are in good relation with Marl, the owner of the cafe. He always gives us insanely, large discounts. I quickly spotted my redheaded bestfriend at the counter, batting her eyelashes at the new barista, who seemed terrorized by her advances. I quietly giggled to myself before coming up to them, saving him from Allie.

"Hey, I would like an iced chocolate please." I ordered.

"Coming right up!" the new, poor terrorized barista said, intensely relieved that he was able to get away from my bestfriend.

Allie turned to me glaring.

"I was in the middle of a wonderful conversation with him, planning our future together with our future kids, whom we will name Sandy and Shaun until you interrupted," Allie grumbled.

Oh my bestfriend is just so shameless.

"So I guess you don't need me anymore?" I chuckled as I paid for my drink.

Allie just mumbled some profanity as she turned around to find us a table. The barista handed me my drink, red-faced. He probably heard Allie talk about him so I swiftly flashed him an apologetic smile before following her.

And in the midst of turning, like in those chick flick movies, where everything turns slow motion when the girl sees her true love, I saw him. I stopped moving and goggled at his handsome features. He has a tousled brown hair and you can even mistake him for a model. Maybe he is a model! He looks so sexy reading his book and he looks so engrossed with it. Only if I can be that book he's holding...

"Hello, earth to Veena!" a hand was waving over my face.

I realised that I was still in a cafe and that it was a public place but it was too late. The sexy man looked up and saw me in my trance like state as I fantasize over him. He smirked and all I want right now is for the ground to swallow me up.
