7:30 am, my alarm clock goes off and we had to get up. "I- need- 5- more- minutes..." Isabella turned around and closed her eyes again.
"You'll be late." I laughed and pulled her blanket away from her. Suddenly she get up very fast and ran into the bathroom. I looked weird and ran after her
"Isa!? Are you okay?" I said while walking into the bathroom. I saw her leaning over the toilet and I heard her puke. "Omygod!" I came over and hold her hair. "I'm-" Isabella wanted to say but she couldn't. "Calm down, don't talk right now."

5 minutes later, Isabella lied down at the couch with her blanket. "I'm so sorry.." she sights with a sad face "No don't worry about it, first you need to get better before you go to school."
"but it's only the second day.. and now I have to leave you alone.. I'm so sorry."
"no, it's alright!" I gave her a hug and grabbed my back.
"Do you need anything?" I asked before I left
"No, I'm fine, thanks. Good luck today!"
"Thank you!" I closed the door behind me and walked over to the bus station.

While I was waiting for the bus, listening to some music, I felt someone tapping on my shoulder. I pulled out my earplugs and watched to the person next to me.
"Hello girl, never expected to see you here alone."
I laughed and gave Hazel a hug
"Since when are you going with the bus? You always said that th-" "I know, I know.. but my car is broken." Hazel interrupted me. "Holy shit, what did you do?" "Oh don't worry, it was the engine or something. I only need to go to the garage."
"And now you need to go with the bus.. are you ready for this moment?" I said sarcastically and I laughed at her. "No, I'm not actually" She sighed and giggled "Where is Isa by the way?" Hazel asked
"Home.. she is sick." I answered
"Oh no, now you have to go on your own." She looked at me with a worried face
"Oh don't worry, I'll survive.."
Actually I wasn't really calm inside..
Inside I was stressing as hell. Isabella was my only friend in class. With who do I have to sit now?

9:03 am, I walked inside the classroom. I was too late, the bus was late and we were stuck in traffic. I opened the door and everybody looked at me.
"Misses Andersson, where do you think you were going?" the teacher looked at me with an angry look
"Well.. I know I'm late but-"
"Go sit down, really fast. I don't like it when my students are late, but it's only the second day so you're lucky." The teacher sighed. "Thank you."
I sat down behind the 'popular boys'.
"You're in trouble." Jonah whispered and laughed.
"Ugh shut up." I sighed
My day was already a hell. I opened my books and followed the lesson. What a day...

12:30 pm, lunch break. Worst part of the day. Where am I going to sit? I don't really have much friends..
I saw Hazel with her friends sitting at a table in the left corner. She signed at me that I should come. I walked over to the table . "Hello!" I said while I sat down next to Hazel. "Hey girl! Everybody, this is my best friend Elisa, Elisa this is Hailey, Bella and Kaylee." "Nice to meet you" I said to the other girls
"You too! How are you?" Bella asked
I sat down and started talking and eating with the girls. After 20 minutes Hazel interrupted our conversation.
"Wee have to go girls, I'm sorry E, but we need to practice for our presentation." "No, it's allright! Good luck!" I gave her a hug and they walked away. I really wasn't worried about it, only 10 minutes left.. What can go wrong?

Suddenly someone put his hand on my shoulder and I saw 2 other boys sitting opposite me.
"Well, well, well.. look who we have over here"
I looked at the right and Jonah sat down next to me. I sighed, my god, what's his problem?
"What do you need Frantzich?" "Aw she can talk?" He laughed and came closer with his face. "Don't ever talk to me like that, remember?" I looked him straight in his eyes. "Seriously what do you need? Leave me alone or something. Ugh"
"Isn't it fun to sit here with us?" I looked at William, another popular boy.. "Not really, so please leave me alone and go on with your daily business, like baseball or something stupid." "I'll pay you $20" Jonah looked at me. I laughed sarcastically "Did I asked you for money?" "No, but I asked you something." "And I said no, remember?" I rolled my eyes and wanted to stand up but then Jonah grabbed my arm and let me sit down.
"Let me explain you something, if a boy like me is asking you to do his homework and he pays you, it's not nice to say no. Everybody does it, and so are you." He said with an angry voice. "I don't care about your money, you understand those words? And again, no is no. I'm not that typical girl who you can pay for your homework. Find someone else, or better, find a brain so you can make it by your own!"
I stood up, grabbed my back and walked away.

Luckily I had no other classes with Jonah anymore, I only had Math and then I was free. I texted Isabella

14:30 pm, finally I'm free. I walked out school straight to Starbucks for some coffee and cookies.
I walked inside and walked over to the bar.
"Good afternoon!" A guy with blue sparkly eyes and blond hair looked at me with a smile on his face.
"Hi, can I order 2 black coffee and 2 chocolate chip cookies?" "Of course you can! Anything for you lady." I blushed and giggled, what a cute boy.
I waited 2 minutes and then he came back with my order. I gave him some money and he smiled at me.
"Have a wonderful evening and I hope to see you again, uhh.." He winked at me and I started blushing even more. "Thank you, and Elisa is the name!" I giggled. "Beautiful name for a pretty girl."
I smiled and walked outside, busy traffic in front of me. Many people walking around.

Sometimes I forget what it is to live here in New York. I was in my own world when I talked to that guy, and now I'm outside it reminds me of the busy streets and many people.
I looked around me and decided to walk instead of taking the bus.. I wanted to see New York, I wanted to see the people, the hard working people. The busy city with busy traffic and chaos everywhere.

10 minutes later, I finally came home. Maybe it wasn't a really good idea to walk.. It took so long my god. I walked inside and saw Isabella lying down at the couch.
"Hello my best friend!" She smiled at me. "Hello, I have your order!" I laughed and gave her, her coffee and a cookie. "You are a good person" "Good? What about perfect best friend!" I laughed and gave her a hug. Take of my coat and sat down next to her.
"So, tell me everything!" "Give me 3 seconds!" I took a bite of my cookie and then I was ready to talk
"Come on!! I can't wait!" Isabella giggled
I started to tell her everything that happened during lunch break and also what happened at the Starbucks. Without interrupting, Isa listened to me and when I was finished with telling the story she started to talk. "First of all..
WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK FOR HIS NUMBER!?!"
"From Jonah???" I looked at her in amazement.
"Nooo, you dumbass." Isabella laughed. "I meant from that boy at Starbucks!"
"Oooo, well I don't know.. I'm not good at those things." "Wow you really need me in your life." She giggled. "Did you also heard about the other part?" I asked. "The Jonah part?" "Yes, the most important part.." I sighed and took a sip of my coffee.
"Girl, that boy is just jealous." I almost choked in my coffee because of what Isabella just said.
"Jealous??" I coughed and looked at her. "Of your brains!" We both started to laugh and we watched the rest of the afternoon Netflix series.
Besides of everything that happened today, it was a pretty good day.. of course it could be better, but for now it was okay.
