5.

I woke up in the right time, after doing my morning routine I went down the stairs. Nothing interesting, to be honest. Vanessa wasn't around, so I guess she was still asleep. I had a horrible mood, probably because I didn't get enough of sleep, well and maybe my extremely terrible mood during the weekend had some kind of impact on it.

In the kitchen I saw Karen. Feel like she's always in the kitchen when I go out of my room. I told her that I'd love to go to school by bus, just because 'I'm bored and it seems kind of interesting'. She believed and told me the time when the bus leaves, so I could be ready. I had quick breakfast, which I didn't enjoy much because it was omelet, but I don't like eating in the mornings in general.

Not waiting for anything or anybody, wearing a huge sweatshirt and jeans I walked out of the house slowly walking to the bus station, because I had loads of time. The bus came maybe 5 minutes after I got to the station. I looked at the driver, it wasn't Bob and I don't know what I was expecting. I'm just stupid, don't mind me.

I bet, you already understood what kind of crappy mood I have today. I'm not even that sad, more exhausted, tired.

'Depressed' I thought while laughing at myself. Even though I had my eyes closed and head leant on the window of the bus.

I don't know how much time has passed since I got into the bus, but finally it stopped. I walked out and went straight to my first lesson which was

Freaking biology. The most boring teacher ever. Due to my not really happy state, I barely made notes, even though I really hoped I wouldn't need them if the teacher decides to make a quick test in the future. The only good thing was that, I didn't have to do the homework for today, thanks at least for that.

My schedule became more fixed, so now I have psychology. Walking in the class, I already see the guy who I noticed during my first lesson here when he was literally the only one who smiled at me. Well, he has been the only one since I moved here.

I slowly approach my table and sit down, then lay my head on the desk, so I won't have to see anybody. Please, let this day be a good one, even though my hope has almost disappeared.

"Hi, is the seat taken?" A male voice sounds behind me. Dude, the last thing I need right now is some douche sitting near me, especially in my favourite subject.

I rise and look at the guy. So it's the mannered one, who would have doubted? But why would he sit next to me if he was sitting on his spot just a second ago? But it's not like I'm really eager to know.

"Nah" I give him a short reply and then make myself unpack my backpack and get some notes out of it, just to make myself busy, because I don't think that's polite to ignore a person next to you, by falling asleep on the desk.

"What's your name?" He asks as soon as he unpacks his back. I really hope you won't sit with me forever. Even though you are the only person who treats me with kindness here at least a bit, I'm here not to make relationships. Why? I believe, there's no friendship between men and women. It's impossible, known by own experience.

"I'm Erica" I reply making heavy exhale "You?" It's not like I'm interested anyways.

"I'm Mark" I only hum as the answer and start looking at the board in front of us even though the lesson hasn't even started yet, but the students quickly fill the empty spots of the classroom.

He has probably noticed my non talkative state, that's why he decides to ask even more questions. Dude, wasn't knowing my name enough?

But I realise that now I'm being too mean and it's not his fault that I have a horrible mood, so he doesn't deserve to be affected by my rude behaviour. I try to make my face expression look easier, so he won't feel horrible as well or something.
