I always believe that dreams do come true. I mean, I've always dreamt of becoming an elementary school teacher and right now, I'm getting ready to start my first day of working at my neighbourhood elementary school. See? Dreams do come true. I mean, I'm not exactly a full-time teacher- not yet. I'm now just an intern. BUT, that just mean that I'm closer to achieve my dreams now, right? I turn to a poster right next to my make-up table. It's a poster of the previous Percy Jackson movie, the Lightning Thief. "If Logan can do it, so can I." I grins.

I took a deep breath and give my reflection a smile. Satisfied at how my look for the day, I grabbed my handbag and few files that stacked over my desk before leaving the apartment.

I looked up towards the clear sky while shielding my eyes from the raging sun, I smiles. The weather seems nice today. That's mean, something good might happen today. Maybe not for me, but for someone else it might.

It's my third month interning at the school and that's mean, I only left another three month to teach. I'm so going to miss the children. They have been nothing but good to me and they behave very well. I never can understand why some people dislike children. They're adorable and the way describe things can be really cute. Though, sometimes they do get into your nerves. But that's just how they are. They're kids. Sighs.

After a while, I finally arrive at the front gate of Sunny Side Elementary School. It's a school in the middle of suburb area and many kids come from good family. I love the environments and both parents and teachers here are so friendly, very welcoming. Well, except for one.

I try my best not to roll my eyes as a red SUV parked right next to the principal's car. The driver stepped out from the vehicles and she turns her half body towards me, "Well, looks who's early," she smirks. Holly Schneider, an intern from North Bridge University and also doesn't seem to be very fond of my existence. She actually worsen after one of my student's Masquerade Birthday Party last month. Yeah, kids nowadays. They really grow up too fast.

But back to Holly though, I don't know what her problem is but she's been getting on nerve quite frequent. But, I always try to ignore her as much as I could. I mean, I'm a lover, not a fighter. "Is that your grandma's dress?" she asked, trying to keep up with my pace. I just shook my head and decided to just continue on my merry way towards the teacher's office. I was about to enter the office when she slammed her slim hand over the door frame, blocking me from going further. I halted, sending her a small glared. "How dare you ignore me, you peasants." she hissed.

I rolled my eyes,"What do you want, Holly?"

She scoffs, "Well, respect duh?"

I shook my head and bend down, passing below her arms as I continue on my pace. She's acting like a child sometimes. I wonder how in the world did she even able to stay in school? Probably the rumour about her being related to the principal is actually real. I put my stuff on my desk and well, Holly being Holly, she purposely swung her arms over my nicely stacked test paper, causing the stacks to fell off the table and scattered on the ground. My jaws dropped in disbelief and quickly down to my knees to gather all the papers.

"You deserve it," she stated and turns her stilettos towards her own desk. I groaned as I stood up, with all the papers hugged neatly over my chest.

"What are you doing under the table, Ms Y/L/N?" it's the principal. She was giving me a questioning look. I glance briefly at Holly, where she just gave me her usual witchy smirks. She knew I wouldn't tell the principal the truth. Because if I did, she definitely going to change the whole story and I ended up being the one to blame. So, to hell with everything. I placed all the paper on my desk and shook my head, "Just a small incident, Mdm Principal," I muttered.
