Chance At Love

Chapter one

Vanessa's POV
"Nessa get your lazy ass down here this minute" my mom screamed from downstairs.

"Coming mom"I replied back as I sluggishly took my car keys and swung my book bag over my shoulders.

I walked downstairs, into the kitchen and found mom frying pancakes which was really rare. I mean my mom is rarely at home on weekdays. 

She put some pancakes in a plate and pushed it towards me.

"Mom, you know how much I hate Monday mornings" I whined as I stuffed pancakes inside my mouth.

"You hate all mornings Nessa" mom said dramatically rolling her eyes.

"Ugh I know, but seriously why aren't you at work as usual" I asked. She leaves the house before I even wake up.

"Can't I wait to see my only source of Joy go to school" she replied flipping the pancake in the pan. This woman should have been a chef.

"Mom you're so sappy"I said fake cleaning a tear, while she cleaned an actual tear.

"Oh God, Nessa you've got seven minutes to your first period" mom said looking at the wall clock
"Shit, mom please pass me a paper bag"I put the remaining pancake inside. There's no way I'm leaving food.

I kissed her on her cheek before grabbing everything and running to my car.
"I love you munchkin"she said leaning on the door and waving at me. Don't ask about the nickname, she gave me since I was a kid and refused to stop calling me that, so I'm now used to it.

"I love you too mommy"I replied waving at her before driving off with pancake in my mouth.

"Fuck I'm late"I muttered to myself the same time our evil English teacher Mrs Richardson said
"You're late"

"Like I didn't know"I said under my breath, rolling my eyes
"Detention!"she screeched like the bat that she is.

Well I deserved it I guess. I rolled my eyes again before making my way to my usual back seat near the window. I plugged my earphones and played the playlist designed for the witch by yours truly. I only got the earphones on my left ear so I could still hear her blabbering nonsense to the class, I couldn't afford to fail the class. I couldn't really understand why people enjoyed English literature, I only offered it cause geography is hard, I hated the two subjects.

Twenty minutes into the period, the school's well known bad boys entered the class and as usual the whole class became quiet,cue to eyeroll. I watched as the evil witch allowed them to go to their sits without making a fuss about it.

"Come on, I was just five minutes late and you gave me a freaking detention, they're twenty minutes late and all they get is a smile. That's totally not fair on my side"I said as my stupid instinct that made me to act before thinking kicked in.

My little rant seemed to have snapped the fangirl out of her daze, cause she finally looked at me.

"How dare you question my actions?" Is this woman for real?.

"Ohh you got that wrong, I wasn't questioning you. I was just making it clear that your judgement isn't fair on my side. It's called voicing out my right. You ought to know that"I said standing my ground but she wasn't just getting the logic. The whole class was looking at me now, cute. I said I didn't want drama this year but seems like that has been swept under the carpet.
