My alarm woke me up around 6:00, I groaned as I rolled out of bed. The day ahead couldn't be good at all. I got dressed into a pair of ripped black jeans, a white hoodie with roses up the arm and a pair of white Adidas trainers. God I looked ugly in anything I wore.
I wasn't that hungry so I skipped breakfast and just headed to costa to get a caramel coffee cooler. Costa was only round the corner from my house so this was a daily thing. School was about a 30 minute walk from my house so I just got the bus which took about 15 minutes.
I sat at the back of the bus on my own as per usual, panic at the disco playing through my headphones as loud as it would go. The glass of the window was cold against my forehead as I lent against watching the world go by behind me. Everyone seemed to have somewhere they needed to be. Couples walked hand in hand down the street, kids hurried to school with backpacks double the size of them. They all seemed so rushed.
The bus was pretty empty the entire ride to school, I'm kinda glad about that though because some mornings it would be packed with workmen, business women, the elderly and teenagers. God awful teenagers.
I stepped off the bus and walked s couple steps to be underneath a tree, 7:57, huh earlier than usual especially for a Thursday morning. I decided I'd head to the corner shop just down the road from school.
"Hey Sebastián, Hey Miguel" Sebastián was the owner of the shop and Miguel was his pet cat. Miguel purred in response to me scratching the fur behind his fluffy ears.
"What brings you here so early Chica?" Sebastián asks with a bit of worry in his tone.
"Just woke up earlier today decided I'd come get a snack or two before I headed to hell" he let out a small chuckle and let me go on my way.
I normally wouldn't come here unless it was a Friday after school I'd come pick up a galaxy caramel chocolate bar, Dr Pepper, honey Buddha chips and whatever dvd Sebastián would choose for me that week. Then I'd go home watch the movie and go to sleep.
It was a comfort thing really I used to do it with my sister when she was still here, every Friday was a new dvd and we couldn't watch the dvd again unless we both voted it dvd of the month. I won't go into the details of what happened. For now anyways.
On my way round the shop I picked up an orange juice, some Reece's pieces. All I needed now were the chips. I headed to the section we're they were normally kept to discover that they'd been moved higher up. Now I was only 5'3 so for the life of me I couldn't reach these chips.
I jumped up trying to grab them. And again. And again. And again. This was getting me no more. Trying one more time I successfully grabbed a bag but I'm doing so pulled down the whole box.
"THUD" my body hit the floor, covered in honey Buddha chips. Out of nowhere a flash of red came by and started wiping away the bags of chips. He grabbed my hand and helped me to my feet.
"Are you okay?!" Worry glistened in his yellow iris'.
"Yeah.. just got my head on the floor quite hard it hurts.. a lot" I groaned whilst rubbing the back of my head. "I'll be fine I can handle it."
"Are you sure? You hit your head quite hard. I can walk you home if you like." He smiled, he had a beautiful smile. His face... I knew it was from somewhere I just couldn't put my finger on it.
"I'm sure I've got to get to school anyway, my dad will kill me if I miss a day due to clumsiness" I laugh awkwardly. I was trying my hardest not to make myself look like an idiot. Hide everything. Hide your anxiety. Hide your problems. Hide it all.
"Oh okay!" His face breaking into a rather beaming smile "I'm Saeyoung by the way" he sticks out his hand for you to shake it "it's nice to meet you!" He spoke in a soft yet excitable tone.
"I'm Y/N" I intertwine my hand with his and I swear I feel a connection. I can't explain it but I felt... something "it's nice to meet you to".
He kept hold of my hand for a while just standing there looking at it until I noticed what he was looking at. My bandages. They were showing through the end of my sleeves.
"What happened are you sure your okay?" He asked that hint of worry returning to his eyes.
I panicked what am I supposed to say to theis complete stranger, the first person aside from my dad or Sebastián who has been nice to me since primary school.
"Oh! This? It's just my aunties cat" lies "I was minding her for a period of time while she went on her honeymoon." More lies " She got a bit feisty having to leave her owner and stuff haha." I'm living on a pack of lies.
"Oh man that sucks, cats can be evil but they're so cute !!!!!" He started going on about how amazing and cute cats are despite their evil nature.
We talked for a while just there like that. It was the happiest I had felt for weeks, months, years. It was an amazing feeling really. I'd forgotten what happy felt like but I think that that right there. That was it. I knew it would all end soon. Finding out that he had just transferred to my school, I knew he'd find out how much of a loser I am and he'd instantly ditch me for a cooler crowd. I just had to make the most out of what I had now and hope it lasts a little while longer at least...
