  It was a rainy Tuesday in Mystic Falls. I had been waken up by the powerful storm and lightning comming through my window. I could feel the rain crushing the roof. Gladfully, I wasn't as moody as I usually am when it comes to these kind of days.

  I oppened my eyes and noticed it was still night but couldn't tell what time. A few seconds after, I turned myself in way to look at my tinny bedside table where I kept my clock. It was facing my bed so that if this kind of stuff happened I would be able to look clearly at the time. I was really sleepy. I barely noticed it was about five am so I decided, as I wasn't able to sleep again, to put clothes together and create an outfit for that school morning. Of course, first, I had to leave my bed and walk my way to the wardrobe. This became a little bit tuff because I was about to fall nearly three times while walking because the lightning kept on flashing my eyes and this made it difficult for me to see where I was walking.

  I finally got myself to open the treasure chest that my wardrobe was fully equiped with Gucci, Sarkany and more designers' clothes and shoes. It was a dream to most of the girls in my division, I shall admit. All this stuff made me dizzy at first. There was a great amount of clothes in there. The lighning waited some minutes and finally appeared one more time. My head was starting to ache but I was trying to get through it. As it was a really rainy day but still warm, I got my mind cleared and chose two options (both "ins" in the actual season's style) which looked awesome in the same pair of rain boots. One was a peach raincoat with a white short shirt and blue jeans to end up with. The second one was a bit girlier. It was formed by a black mini skirt, a tube shirt and a very cute pink leather jacket.

  A cracking noice came from above my head. I got so scared I closed and opened my eyes when my reaction was gone and realized I was sitting on the floor. I kind of have these weirdo episodes but it's fine, nothing to worry about.

 My two chosen outfits were lying on my bed. I left them there and quietly got inside the toilet. Already in, I brushed my hair, put on some basic make-up and finally, do what everyone does in the toilet.

  I left and went back to my room. Without even trying, I took a look at the clock. It was already 6:30 am and I had to go to high school at 7:30 so that I was there at 8. Yes, I live 30 minutes away from town. I go to Mystic Falls' High and I'm in the last year of my torture.

  Back to my dilemma, I chose a random outfit and tried it on. To be honest, the girly one looked better on me. I heard my mom waking up from next door. I put on my rain boots and I was now ready.

  I came down the hallway to the kitchen to have some cereals and milk. My mom came in and greeted me. I am my parents' only child but grew up with my cousins so I'm not the type of hysteric girl.

  It was now time to go. In the car, I sat next to mom and began to tweet on twitter. My iPhone rang. I knew it was a whats app message from Harold, my dearest best friend. I loved him so much, he meant everything to me. He was the best person I've ever met in my life. I'd never change him for anything or anyone. The message said "How's my beautiful girl going?xx -Hazza". Hazza, that's how I called him. I constantly blushed with his compliments. Literally, all the time. I was't familiar with that stuff because when I was younger I have to admit, I was preety fat... Anyway, I replied saying "Awesome!! In my way to school. Wbu?xo". I waited for his reply while reading every recent thing about my idol, Ian Somerhalder. I had every single poster that came out in magazines posted on my wall. My platonic love...

  It was weird, but my other best friend, Rebbekah had direct messaged me a coversation between her and Harry. She said it was really important for me to read it, so I did. I read it quickly because I was about to arrive to my destination. But in that moment, I had the chance to read a very specific and important line, maybe the most important of all... It said "Harry: I love her, okay?! There, I said it..." At first, I thought it was a joke but then I realized my bestfriends would never lie to each other, not even to me. I was completely shocked. He was my best friend since second grade and I wasn't able to believe those words. I just couldn't.. And there's when that other line appeared as she was copying and pasting the little parts of the conversation. On it was written "Harry: I know I shouldn't but I know her for a long time now and I fell in love with her real self. I can't fight it anymore, I have to tell her." With my eyes sticked to the phone, I arrived.

 I got out of the car like a zombie looking carefully at my phone. My iPod rang again. It was Hazza's reply. I didn't mean to open it till everything was clear to me. I didn't look up till Becca, as I called her, passed me by. I saw her all of a sudden and run to ask her to make the message clear to my ears and eyes. She explained as we walked to the Language class with the exact words I read. My brain stopped working for a moment. The worst thing about it all was that Harry was sat right behind me. I didn't know if I would be able to resist asking him about his feelings for me neither hear those words come out of his mouth. It was then when the professor came in and made us all sit down.
