Abigail's P.O.V
Sleeping peacefully on the most comfortable bed in the world, my breathing broke the silence of my bedroom... That is until my alarm clock started to interrupt my sleep! I groaned and slammed my hand on the snooze button, I didn't know what button it was but it stopped the alarm. "Another day, another opportunity!", I sighed as I got up from my bed and out the door to the stairs and the kitchen where dad was.
"Good morning!", dad said, almost sounding like Emmet from 'The Lego movie'. He looked up from his computer and raised his eyebrow at me. "Let me guess, the alarm interrupted your sleep?", asked dad, chuckling to himself before taking a sip of his coffee. "Don't even mention it!", I said, walking over to the fridge taking out the ham and eggs. I yawned as I prepared everything for breakfast. My stomach grumbling in the process.
I placed two plates on the table and carefully placed the ham and eggs, sat down and munched down my plate under 30 seconds. "Geez! Calm down, young lady! You eat as your auntie does!", exclaimed dad, shaking his head and mumbling about crazy Filipinos. "Dad, what time is it?", I asked after taking a sip of my milo. "5:30, you still have an hour to get ready!", he said, silence filled the room once again until the doorbell rang. I gasped and ran for the door while screaming 'Girl Scout cookies!', my dad laughing his head off behind me. I opened the door and saw 2 confused 11-year-old girls.
"Oh, my apologies! I was just excited about the cookies!", I said, scratching my head awkwardly. They looked at each other for another second before shrugging their shoulders. "How many boxes of cookies would you like Miss?", asked one of the girls. "The whole lot, please! Actually just 3 or 4!", I said, forcing an awkward smile on my face.
"Okay?", said the girl with blonde hair. She looked like Brittany but then she's too nice to be able to be Brittany's sister. After some time of giving them my money, I went back to the kitchen where my dad was on his computer. He looked at me like I was an alien. "What?", I asked innocently. "Wow, never knew they'd be a mini Lauren living in my household!", he said, chuckling to himself. I gave him a smile and went over to the pastry and put the cookie boxes on a shelf so dad can't find them.

I got to school just a tad bit early and made my way to my locker, it was until someone scared the livings out of me. I turned around to see Mrs. Johnson practically dying of laughter. "You should've seen your face! It looked like a potato!", she said, trying to regain her breath. "Mrs. Johnson what have I told you about scaring me!", I said, placing my hand on my chest. She gave me a cheeky smile and shrugged her shoulders. I turned my back to her and grabbed my books for Science class.
"Hey, give me some of your lunch! I'm gonna be hungry staying in the library all day!", she said, I rolled my eyes and gave her some of my Filipino snacks dad bought at an Asian store. "Oh my god, Cornick! My favorite, thank you so much!", she squealed, engulfing me in one of her bear hugs. Making kids in the hallway look at us weirdly asking if Mrs. Johnson is mental. "Mrs. Johnson you can stop now, I'm gonna die!", I breathed out, she let go and giggled, walking towards to wherever she's going.
Class doesn't start in another 5 minutes so this gave me time to read my books I borrowed from the library, Mrs. Johnson told me to keep it because of how much times I've always returned it and borrowed it. As I opened my book someone slammed their hand on my desk, long nails and it belonged to...
Brittany Oliver.
A manipulative, stereotypical teenage girl.
I looked up and my eyes instantly went crossed eyed.
"Listen here, Nerd! Gabriel clearly likes me and he doesn't like you! So you better watch out or else I'll make your life miserable!", she said, digging her nail into my chest. "God, your breath smells!", I mumbled under my breath as she walked back to her friends. I rolled my eyes and got back to reading my book not until the bell rang. Ugh! Why, oh why!
I placed my book back in the book bag and paid attention to class. "Good morning class, today I would like you to meet a new exchange student for this class! Come in, Mr. Bailey Curtis!", said Mrs. Granger, I always wonder if she actually went to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry because her name is Hermione Granger. I know it's mind-blowing.
Note the sarcasm.
But seriously though, she has a boyfriend called Ron! Well, Ron Buttole.
Say it more slowly and you'll get my point.
"Mr. Bailey Curtis is an exchange student from the Philippines! Ms. Rodriguez would it be kind of you to fill him in on what's going to happen in class today!", she said, enthusiastically. I smiled at Bailey as he made his way across the classroom to me. "Kamusta, I'm Abigail!", I said, offering him a handshake. He smiled at me and gladly took it. "Ang lalaking iyon ay napakaganda!", he said, nodding his head towards Ethan. "Well, you better watch out because he's a player!", I whispered to him. We whispered our way through class and I've noticed that he's been glancing at Ethan for the whole class until the bell rang. "Gusto mo ba siya? ", I asked, he bit his lip and nodded at me. I gave his hand a squeeze and walked down the hallway to our next class, this time Gabriel was in our class... Maths.
...
It was 12:00 and my stomach was growling like crazy. "Hey, do want to go to the library? I'd like you to meet someone!", I said, he smiled and said he'd love to. Mrs. Johnson would finally be happy about making new friends for once. "Mrs. Johnson! I'd like you to meet Bailey Curtis! He's an exchange student from the Philippines!", I said, crossing my fingers behind my back that they get on well with each other.
"Pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Johnson!", said Bailey, his accent was a little funny that I had to bite my tongue not to laugh, I looked over at Mrs. Johnson and her face could say it all. She was trying to hold her breath and not laugh at his face.
Bailey, Mrs. Johnson and I practically hung out in the library for the rest of lunch, eating, laughing and talking in Tagalog (yes, Mrs. Johnson's second language is Tagalog!). We talked a little bit later after the bell until we decided to go back to class before Mr. Oxford announces it in the speakers for us to get to class.
