Clueless

01.

I grabbed all my books and put them into my bag. I walked pass the corridor with Maeve as she picked up by her boyfriend, Glend. Glend is a football player, but he's not a douche. I can see it by his appearance. First, it's because he's not flirting with me. And second, he hangs around smart boys aka a little nerdy.

I stood here, in front of the school gate, waiting for my mom's car to come. As I checked my phone couple times and I saw a group of boys walking in front of me. One of them who looked like 'the boss' walked closer to me until I took my steps back.

"Why didn't I know you?" He said as making his face closer to mine. I keep taking my steps closer, "hey," he said again as he tried to touched my jaw.

"She's new."

Someone shouting from the school gate and the group of boys are walking back and start avoiding me. Who is this guy?

He walked to my way and standing beside me. He looked kinda good and so tall, "thank you" I said awkwardly. He didn't mind me and started to light a  cigarette.

"Do you allowed to do it here?" I asked him. He just gave me a chuckle as my mom's car arrived. I still hoping that he would say something but I knew he wouldn't. So I left and get the hell in to my mom's car.

"How's your first day, darling?" She said as she kissed my forehead.

I shook my head and gave her an 'ugh' face. She rubbed my hair, "it's okay. Everything will be okay by the days. You'll fit in."

It's already 9 pm and I'm fully ready to go to bed as my father called me on the skype. I accepted it as I'm turned on my macbook's volume to the fullest.

"Hi honey. How was your day, sweetheart?"

I missed him so much. As I hold my tears, "it- it all went well, dad."

"So how's Chicago?" He said as he nodded to another way, yes. He's in his office and he's still working.

"It's good. Way much better than the last time I was in California."

He silent. "Darling, I gotta go. Tell your mom I said hi, okay. Good night. Love you so much honey." He said as he quickly turned the call off.

"I miss you so much,"

My mom and my dad divorced 2 years ago. He left us to Germany and haven't have a chance to visit me again until now on. He remarried with a 23 year old european woman named Cara. It's hard to see a picture of my dad holding hands with anybody else and not my mom's.

It feels so usual to see my mom crying in her bedroom even she didn't notice I see it. Because if she does, she'll wipe her tears and faking a smile right in front of me. She's the strongest woman I've ever knew. Because beside doing a great job as a professional architect, she doing an amazing job as a mother for me, no matter what.

There actually has another reason why we moved to Chicago, and it's all about me. But she's still patient of me. It just, I love her so much and I promise that I'll do anything to make her happy.

I opened my biology textbook while listening to the teacher about respiratory systems. For an hour ahead I should listen to this and just keep silent. I couldn't help.

"Mrs. Rivers?"

"Mrs. Rivers!" The teacher suddenly in front of my face and I just realized I fell asleep.

"Oh my God, I'm sorry."

The whole class laughed at me and I blushed because of how dumb I am. I glanced to Maeve and whispered, "why don't you wake me up!"

She shrugged while chuckling, "Mrs. Rivers you can wash your face in the restroom and bring your book. You can study outside."

I nodded and took my Biology book and went outside. I went to the restroom and washed my face.

I went back to the chair in front of my classroom, sat there and sighed.

"Being punished too?"

I glanced to the left and saw that guy in the school gate sitting on the chair in front of the principal room.

"Kinda." I said and keep reading my biology book. He started to walk and sit beside me, "the new girl is causing new probs?" I chuckled, "if sleeping in the class counted, yeah she is." He chuckled as he looked down at the floor, "how bout you? Why are you here?"

"Missing the class for 5 days in arrow and caught up that I was smoking in the school area." God. I was speechless, "If she is mad at you, tell her that Luke is way much crazier." He said as he laughed.

He grabbed my textbook and opened the first page to see my name on it, "so, Amanda. Why are you here?" He asked me while giving back my book, "cause i'm punished." "Of course. I mean, why moving to this school?"

I was sculpted for about 5 seconds, "nothing. I mean, California is just way too crazy for me and also my mom decided to move because she was divorced."

He's silent and I know he's feeling a bit guilty because he's asking me that question, "anyway thankyou for yesterday things. I mean, I can't even imagine what will happen if you weren't there."

He chuckled, "school jerks."

"Wow, so you mean you're not one of them?" I asked while laughing. "Ugh. No way. I'm innocent, young lady." He answered as we chuckled.

Out of nowhere, a girl named Samantha is approching Luke, "baby. Oh my God. What happened? Is it another punishment?!"

"Is it look like it doesn't?"

"Babe. Come on. I'll talk to Mr. Jackson -principal- oh my God." She said as pulling Luke's arms.

Luke just walked with her because she keep pulling his arms and he raised his eyebrows. I think it's how he said, 'bye' lol.

Popular hot girl with popular bad boy, will always be a package in sum high school. Duh.
