I wasn't prepared for this at all. Thanks to my stuck-up snobby roommate for not waking me up earlier, I had to rush out of my dorm room in roughly ten minutes wearing a wrinkled red sweatshirt with my hair completely disheveled. What's even worse is that I could make out the loud noises of screaming and screeching coming from the locker area near the hallway. The hysterical yelling grew louder as I came closer that I had to cover my ears.
What the actual fuck. Is this a paparazzi?
Girls were crowding around a certain someone, pushing against each other aggressively with their phones out as continuous screams filled the area. Heck, a few girls even fainted dramatically on the floor with idiotic smiles on their faces. Curiosity took over me as I tried to peek at whoever caused this huge commotion early in the morning to teach that person a lesson but I only caught a glimpse of blonde hair in front of the crowd. I cursed mentally about my short stature before proceeding to my locker to get my textbooks. Unfortunately, when I tried to squeeze into the crowd, I ended up getting squished against the lockers and I groaned in pain at the harsh impact.
"Oh my gosh! He's so cute! Look at all those dimples!"
"I'm so glad he's back in Rosewood! I've been wanting to see him!"
"Why did he came back just now?"
"Apparently, his family went to a vacation trip in Japan."
"Ohh! So that's why he'd always post selfie shots of him at different tourist spots!"
I ignored the glares and screams of protests from the other girls as I pushed through them forcibly. Finally, I was able to escape from the swarming fangirls. My eyes widened when I glanced at my wristwatch.
Forget about the textbooks, I'm gonna be late for class!

Meredith was back to giving me the cold shoulder again. She didn't talk or even spare me a glance during bio class, which really irked me. I thought that we were starting to warm up to each other but then we're back to zero again. I sighed.
So much for playing as the oh-so-friendly roommate.
I was cut off from my train of thoughts when I heard my name being called.
"Before we begin our quiz, Ms. Rockwell, can you explain the follicular phase again?" Ms. Smith asked as she gestured me to stand. I blinked in confusion as I rose up from the stool in a slow motion.
I heard Meredith sigh in disbelief, rubbing her temples before shooting me a hard glare.
"I'll help her with this one, Ms. Smith." She said, tugging on my jacket sleeve to make me sit back down before she stood up, maintaining her calm composure.
"During the follicular phase, the follicles are being stimulated by the follicle stimulating hormones from the pituitary gland. The granulosa cells of a mature follicle then release estorogen and the mature follicle releases a mature egg after the process of ovulation." She answered monotonously. Ms. Smith smiled in satisfaction.
