The person squeezes my hand and it's then that I realise who it is and calm myself from the panic attack that was starting to form.

"ANDREW!" I started punching him, it doesn't matter that he is a best friend of mine, he still has no right to scare me like this when I was drowning my mind in shape of you by Ed sheran.

"Okay okay, hormonal lady calm down" Andrew said trying to escape from my punches. And this just earned him one more.

"Fine, too early for period jokes?" he asked, now walking beside me.

He had started tracking my period when we started high school, he said I become the women version of hulk (his words not mine) when on my period, so for his own safety and the others', he decided to get a period tracker app on his phone.

"Yes and I will be grateful if you don't speak much right now since my cramps are already killing me." I have the tendency to get worse cramps, it usually starts like 2-3 days earlier than my actual period but they honestly suck, I'm so jealous of every girl who doesn't have to go through cramps.

We reach the school entrance and I'm met with stephanie, who's waiting for me or should I say Andrew cause I really suspect that she is secretly in love with him. When I get close to her thats when I see the frustrated face and that she's typing frantically on her phone.

"Who are you talking to?" I ask, as I reach her beide the doors.

"Uh....no one important" she says, but it's evident from the look on her face that she's lying and whoever that person is definitely bothering her.

"Is it Mr. Winston again" I whisper slowly in her ears.

She nodded and before the conversation can get awkward the bell rang, signalling the start of the school and for instance the school year.

I quickly waved her goodbye and headed to my homeroom for this semester which happens to be political science, the absolute worst class on the face of the planet.

~**~**~
I'm making my way over to our usual lunch table with Liam who's in my calculus, before lunch. We're talking about, more like he's rambling that Mr. hops clearly doesn't know how to teach cause he was going to give homework on the first day, which is a big deal according to him.That's when I spot the curly blonde locks of the guy every girl stares at, Sam.
He's the epitome of bad boy, he goes partying every weekend, doesn't care about his school work and has a 'relationship' with the queen bee, Nora.

"Do you by any chance have extra food in your bag" Liam asks, startling me.

"Huh?"

"You were staring at Sam weren't you?" Liam says in his I-already-know-the-answer voice.

I snorted. Even if I was just doing that it wasn't like I'm gonna admit it to Liam who will of course make a big deal out of it and tell our other friends that I've developed some kind of crush on him, which is absolute nonsense.

"And you're the best soccer player in the world" I state my voice dripping with sarcasm.

"It was ONE time!! It's not my fault the teacher came right in front of the ball after I kicked it. She practically begged for the bruise." he exclaims.

He was referring to the accident in grade 7 when he 'accidentally' kicked the ball in our teacher's face. We were on the gravel field on the backside of our school and SINCE in our elementary school everything mostly depended on our homeroom teacher, who was the only teacher we had, even though we didn't have the best privileges but we did get to go out sometimes when we all have done our work and the kick just made us lose those as well.

"And to remind you that made us lose our privileges to go play outside for the rest of our year."

I told him even though this accident clearly didn't need any reminder, cause if you haven't already guessed I bring this up in everything I could.

In the middle of our bickering, which I also call playful teasing, I never realised we had arrived at our lunch table and for some reason it seemed different.

I take a quick glance at all my friends, My best friend Ivy, is currently sitting beside me, playing with the rice which is supposed to be her lunch. I swear she never eats enough food. Hannah is sitting opposite me beside cole, her boyfriend of 3 years and Andrew who just arrived is taking place beside Stephanie on my left. That's when I notice the new face on the table beside Liam and by the looks of other people it feels like they already know her.

"Who's the new girl beside Liam?" I whisper-shout in Ivy's ear.

"You forgot again?" she asked me in half disappointed voice but not surprised. I just gave a sheepish smile to her.

"It's Liam's girlfriend, remember he told us about her on friday while we were all on a video call that he finally found the courage to ask his crush out" she replies answering my question.

I give her a 'ohh' face after thinking about it for a few seconds but I still have no clue when he introduced us. And as if on cue he comes in from wherever he went and introduces her.

"Guys, this is Stevie, my girlfriend" Liam says with proud lacing in his voice.

There it is.

We all smile and Liam officially introduces her to all of us but I'm pretty sure he has talked about us with her from the knowing smiles that she gives us.

~**~**~

I'm currently sitting in my bed, with popcorn in my lap when I've wrapped my blanket comfily around me and I'm binge watching my favourite shows, since there was no homework it being the first day of school today. And all in all I think the day wasn't as bad as I had expected it to be but I think the tiring school days start tomorrow even though I love my block b class it's still really tiring and I was glad that I didn't have to go through it today, since the lack of sleep would have definitely shown in it.

As I was thinking about it my phone vibrates from my bedside table to look over it. It's an unknown number trying to message me.

Unknown person : Hey, you looked beautiful today ;)

Who the hell is this person? And why is he even messaging me that?That also atalmost 11 in the night. I'm one of those girls that is invisible to everyone except her friends. I think about answering the text but end up falling asleep with the now empty bowl of popcorn on the bedside table beside my phone which still shows the text.
