Slipping into a pair of blue jeans and blue button up shirt, I put on my white converse and climb down the stairs."Morning mom, dad." I greet taking an apple from the basket placed on the counter.
"Morning kiddo." dad greets back while mom stays quiet.
"Ma, I'm sorry. I promise I will come home early from now onwards." I apologise getting on my knees and extending the bitten apple in front of her.
She shakes her head and takes the apple before throwing it in the trash can.
I gasp dramatically, "You threw my peace offering away? Just like that?" I fake sniffle.
"Oh, stop it you." she rolls her eyes making me grin.
I stand up and peck her cheek. She slaps my arm playfully and hands me my plate of breakfast.
"First day of senior year, how do you feel?" dad asks.
"Same old." I shrug.
"Make me proud." he pats my shoulder.
"Have I ever done anything less than that?" I wink and bid them goodbye.
Igniting the engine of my black Ford Mustang, I make my way towards the school I have been studying in since Sophomore year.
My phone lights up and I look down to see Anwyll's number flashing on the screen, I grin and pick up.
"Where you at?" he asks as soon as I answer.
"Well, hello to you too. I'm fine, thanks for asking." I reply rolling my eyes.
"Cut the sarcasm, asshole." he huffs.
"On my way." I say and hang up.
Anwyll, Isaac and Finn have been my best friends ever since I came back from Italy. And we always reach school at the same time.
When I reach school premises, I see a car already parked in my spot and a girl walking at a little distance from it.
I get out and see Anwyll's and Isaac's car rolling in the empty spots next to mine.
Boys and girls were whispering about how she must be new and has parked in my designated space. I ignore their whispers as I follow the girl who's walking without a care in the world.
I latch my hand around her wrist and turn her around with more force than necessary because the next second, I hear a wince. She steps back after a second while rubbing her nose.
I can't see her face as she's still looking down so I decide to speak, "You parked in the wrong space, princess."
She looks up and her lips part. Her eyes assess my face and stops at mine. My eyes widen as I look at her angelic face.
