Jenna's Perspective:

I woke up to my mom yelling at me to get ready, just like any other day. I changed into my favorite sweats and went downstairs to eat breakfast. My mom had already prepared a salad and toast for me. I ate slowly to savor the food, but afterwards I realized that I was running late and left my house in a rush.

At the bus stop, I saw Irene standing and playing with her hair.  She was dressed up as always, while I wear sweats almost every single day.  Irene wants to be a k-pop idol when she grows up- I think it would suit her well because she's pretty and really good at dancing and singing.

In the distance, I saw a boy walking towards the bus stop from the other side of the neighborhood.  I could start to make out his face as I walked closer- it was Jungkook, Irene's crush.  I ran the rest of the way to the bus stop to tell Irene.

"Irene, he's right behind you!"

"Hey, shhhhhh." she said, half annoyed, half nervous.  I wanted to tell her to go up to him and say something, but she's the shy type, and she would never do that. 

The bus arrived a minute later, and me and Irene went to the back of the bus to sit. I started talking about how we had to start a project in social studies today in groups of two, and that the partners were randomly picked. I don't think Irene was listening though- she seemed to daydream a lot and not talk as much after her dad died. I wish I could cheer her up somehow.
