"What's coming is better than what's gone."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As I was about to see who were the people talking about me, my phone started ringing so loudly that i almost got panic attack.

I shut off my phone and I was about to hear what they were saying but I noticed that by hearing my ringtone those people left the place.

I was disappointed but I was so much curious to find out who and why they were talking bad about me.

I walked home alone that day as Trisha went home early for some emergency.

As i was walking it started raining heavily. Ah great. Just great. The day couldn't get any better.

I reached home and called Trisha to tell about what happened but she didn't receive the call. I suppose she is busy talking to Zayn.

Feeling so exhausted, I laid on my bed and went through my insta.
My Instagram is full of paintings so I have many online friends there. But of course no one is close like Trisha. No one will ever be close like her.

I don't know how and when I fell asleep but when I woke up it was morning already. Wow. I just slept the whole day and I didn't even do my calculus homework. Great way to start my day again.

Today Trisha didn't came to pick me up so I decided to just take my bicycle and go for a ride as the weather is cool and warm at the same time. I stopped at Starbucks to grab a cup of coffee and sandwich. Mom went to work early and I don't know cooking so yeah, I left home without eating.

The sad thing is i can't even see what colour coffee I am drinking.
As I was drinking my coffee, i saw a guy similar to the boy i saw yesterday sitting beside me in calculus. Or maybe this is the same boy.

He had air pods on and he was working on his MacBook. I realized that he was doing his calculus homework. As a new student, he seems like a nerd to me. With black rimmed glasses and coffee and the way he is doing his homework like a professional.

I noticed that i was staring at this boy for so long. As I was about to turn around, he looked at me. Ah shit. I just got caught staring at a boy and now he's probably thinking I'm creepy.

I didn't expect him to call me. Never in million years i expected my unknown classmate to call me. Not with my name tho.

"Hey. You must be the girl who was sleeping in calculus right?" He asks me with a surprised face.

"Umm yeah. Hi. I'm Bethany." I say. I look down. I'm not usually shy around new people but this boy is giving me weird kind of feeling. Bad feeling.

"Oh well it was nice meeting you but I have to get going." He gets up from his seat and walks away quickly without even waiting for my reply. Well that was friendly.

As soon as I reached school, i went to my locker to get my geography book for my first class. Today we are supposed to be getting an assignment which we have to do in partners. Wow that's great. I'm not good at working with other people for any project except Trisha. But Trisha didn't took geography and instead she took maths. Yeah, my friend is a math nerd.

I get in to class and to my surprise I find that new boy sitting alone in the class. Usually, nobody is much interested in geography most of the time so the students are less in the class compared to my other classes.

I go and take my sit at the last bench. After few minutes our sir enters the classroom and continues with his lecture.

"Today we will be assigning partners for our geography project about which I already talked that day. This project will be for six months. Half of your school year. You have to go to farther places for the research. As 10th grade students, going far places won't be a problem for you. But you have to do each and every work with your partner. And this project carries 50% of the marks of your final examination. So please I would suggest you to be kind with your partner and complete your assignment in time."
And the sir keeps going on and on about this "important" assignment.

"So I would like to call the partners in front of the class. Please keep quiet so I can call out the names." The sir says and we all keep quite. The anticipation of knowing who my partner is, is killing me.

"Lisa and Andrew, come forward please."
"Jessie and Cristy"
"Riley and Brent"
The sir keeps going on with more names.
"Bethany and ...... Kyler?"
Wait what?
