Changes

Chapter 1- The First Day

I was rudely awakened by that annoying sound of my phone's alarm together with a pestersome banging coming from my room's door. What the fuck was going on? I groaned and reached over to my bedside table to switch that damn sound off after hearing my best friend scream,

"LILLY IF YOU DON'T GET THE HELL UP RIGHT NOW I'M GOING TO COME IN THERE!"

What a great start to my morning. Just peachy. The sun brightly shining in the baby blue sky with the light wisps of wind and the birds beautifully chirping. Yeah all that was not happening at the moment.

I sat up on my bed and rubbed my face with my hands trying to get the sleepiness to go away but failing miserably. I laid my head on the headrest and groggily replied,

"I'm up May" which she took as an invitation to joyously skip into my room with a broad smile plastered on her face. What is wrong with this woman?

"Come on lazy ass get up now or we're gonna be late for classes" May said while pulling at my covers. Yeah she was definitely insane.

"May-'classes'- that's exactly why I don't want to get up." Who in their right mind is excited for school? Do you know what that means? That my friends, means that for five days of the week you'll have to get up super early to go spend the whole day listening to someone drag on about something that doesn't really interest me and let me tell you that is not something I enjoy doing. Why did I decide I wanted to go to college full-time again? Somebody, tell me please! I beg you!

"Well you can stay home then. I've already made breakfast and I am going to get changed to go get an education." May said in a matter-of-factly way while walking out of my room. I sat up abruptly now fully awaken by her words. Stay home?

"Really?" I asked quite excitedly hoping her words to be true. An extra day home sounds quite nice to me. I can actually stay in bed whole day. However, my excitement was soon extinguished when May turned around giving me 'the look' saying, "No not really. If by the time I am finished getting ready you are not down there eating breakfast I'm gonna drag your ass to school whether you brush your teeth or not." And that my friends, is my beloved best friend.

"I HATE YOU MAYA JUNE SAUNDERS!" I shouted behind her as she walked out my room. I then rushed to go through my morning routine because let's face it, she will drag me to school whether I brushed my teeth or not, as said. I could just picture it. She would tie me up with rope or something, no doubt.

So now may be a good time to introduce myself.

Hi, I am Lilly Ella Lane. 20 years old, college student. I live with my best friend as you may have realized, Maya June Saunders. I am quite a normal stereotypical girl I guess. Not smart, not dumb. I'm mature and immature. I don't take any shit from anybody; I'm not a trash can. My friends say I don't know when to shut up and I could be a bitch. But I am also very sensitive. I'm on both ends of the spectrum. Yup, weird.

Anyway, I got ready for school and was pleased to see that I was indeed downstairs before May was and started eating my breakfast. I cleaned up after myself and was then semi-dragged to the car and off we were to school. Yay. The ride wasn't long as May and I had a place that wasn't far from school.

We both walked into the office and got our schedules and locker numbers, pleased that May's locker is just across the hall when we do find them. We then gathered our books for first period and were on our way to class when I saw him. He was already looking at me with his ocean blue eyes, then a side smirk appeared on his face as if he realized who I was. It seemed as if he was the only one standing there even though the hurried students past among us. I drank him in from head to toe; his jet black hair that was messily swept to the side, those beautiful blue eyes, his chiselled jaw line and full lips that I wanted to run my fingers against and the muscles that were showing rather valiantly through his t-shirt.

This man was the man of my dreams and I felt my heart rate accelerate just by knowing he was also staring at me. But I also felt the need to approach him, the need to be close to him. Uhh... Okay.

Well this was weird. I never felt like that about any boy. It's probably just my late teenage hormones shooting like fireworks inside me.

"Well damn, isn't he hot!" I heard May say from by my side snapping me out of my daze. Seems like she was caught up in it too but what was even weirder than before was that as the words came out of her mouth I felt a sudden rush of jealously through me. I always stepped back from a guy when I knew May had an interest in him but this time I felt as if 'stepping back' wasn't even in my vocabulary.

Somebody tell me what was happening please.

I just chuckled at her hushed outburst

"Please don't go all stalker mode. Remember what happened last time" I said remembering when she stalked the last cute new kid and made him leave the school. Obviously he said it was because of personal reasons but May and I knew it was because of her.

As we continued to first period though, my mind ran to this beautiful boy again, thinking about this handsome man who already seemed to have swept me off my feet by just a stare.

That was possible right?
