Trials of the Heart

Chapter 4

The rest of the day went by somewhat like that. When the bus stopped at the end of her street, she got off with Makayla and three grade 9 girls that lived nearby. Lyra remembered that her mother had wanted her to go and see her at the elementary school, where she worked. "Hey, I've gotta go to the school," She tilted her head toward the school, which was a little ways down the street. "Want to come with me?" Lyra asked. "Sure!" Makayla replied with a smile. So the two walked over to the school, Lyra carrying her shoes because of the huge amount of discomfort they were causing. When they got there, they went inside and saw Lyra's mother standing in front of her office, which was at the start of the long hallway to the left of the cafeteria, which was right in front of them. Lyra's mother saw the two girls and walked over. "Hey Lyra! How was your first day?" She asked. "Good. It wasn't that hard." So they talked about their day so far, then Lyra decided to go home in case her Grammy was at their house, and starting to worry about where Lyra was. So the two girls left the school and went home.

A few days later...

Lyra woke up early, and got ready. Once again, Makayla called, and they walked to the Bus Stop together. When they got to school, it was business as usual. Lyra had ELA first period, and the class was told to pick three people that they would most like to meet, so Lyra's first choice was, of course, her favorite YouTuber* NateWantsToBattle. She looked him up on Google Images, and clicked on one of the pictures. All of a sudden, she heard a voice behind her. A guy's voice. "Is that NateWantsToBattle?" Surprised that anyone other than her old crowd knew who he was, she turned around and saw Nate looking at her. She realized that it was him who she had heard. "Yeah. You watch his videos?" Lyra replied, keeping a normal attitude on the outside, while she was screaming like a fangirl on the inside. Nate nodded in reply. "Yeah. So what other YouTubers do you watch?" He asked her. She hadn't been prepared for this. She was still getting over the shock of someone knowing who NateWantsToBattle was other than the people she had told. (So, basically, her old crowd of friends) "Umm, a lot." She replied with a bit of an awkward smile "Well thanks, that really narrows it down." He replied with a sarcastic smile. Yep, sarcasm. At first, Lyra had thought that he was just a guy who had all of the traits Lyra thought attractive in a guy, (Nice, fun, creative, smart, friendly, not a goody-goody, but not a hooligan like almost all the other guys in her class, and his hottness was an added plus) but now she knew. This guy wasn't just great. He was almost PERFECT. 'If only he listened to the same kinds of music that I do...' She thought. "Your welcome," She said saracstically, "Though for reals, I watch a lot of different YouTubers. Mostly PokéTubers**, though." "Cool." He replied with a nod. So they continued with the conversation of their interests until the class ended. They didn't sit next to each other in the next few classes, so there was no opportunity to talk. When she got home, Lyra went to her bedroom, flopped backwards onto her bed, and smiled happily. 'Today was a good day. A very good day.' She thought.

IMPORTANT A/N: Hey! So there's a few quick things I'd like to go over.
1) For those of you reading my other book, Dragon Tail, IT IS NOT DISCONTINUED. It's just that I've been really busy lately, and haven't gotten around to writing it yet. This weekend I'll try my best to get at least one chapter up, if not more.
And 2) you may have noticed some *s on a few words in this chapter. That's because there would probably be those two people who didn't know what those words meant. So, I'm adding a Glossary at the end of every chapter with words like that in it. Here's this chapter's Glossary.
YouTuber: a person who makes YouTube videos as a career.
PokéTuber: A YouTuber who's channel focuses on Pokémon-related videos.

So yeah. That's all I have to say for today! Luv yas! Bai! 😘
