it's 3am. rest seems impossible, sleep seems untouchable.

it's like as soon as i lie down to sleep my mind instantly wanders to the depths of my thoughts, grabs them and drags them to the front of my brain.

i can't stop thinking about the new girl at school. something about her just makes me feel so uneasy.

her bright blue hair perfectly matches her deep eyes and her perfect pink lips.

it's like she's too perfect.

there's rumours she was expelled from her last school for flooding the whole science block and blowing the electrics. but i'm not sure. she seems way too chill to have taken the time out of her life to do such a thing.

she just seems too perfect

her name is billie o'connell.

i continue to toss and turn for what feels like hours but sleep just doesn't come. those deep blue eyes just won't leave my mind.

i check the time.

3:05am

this is gonna be a long night.

--- morning ---

my alarm sounds and i get out of bed. another sleepless night. i already got dressed at 5am because i got bored (yeah one of those nights) so i straighten my hair, apply makeup and brush my teeth.

---

when i arrive at school i'm greeted by my only friend, jackson. (he's gay. like gay best friend gay.)

"hey babes, how's it going?" he says enthusiastically. "god you look awful. no sleep again hun?" he says, in the least sympathetic way possible.

"is it really that easy to tell?" i say, rubbing my eyes.

"hate to say it but... yeah" he said, putting his hand on my shoulder.

i shrug, and we head to registration.

we take our seats in the class. we're always the first there but we know not to take the backseats. we'll only get beaten up by the popular kids. so we sit on the middle row.

"so babes, what do you think about this billie girl huh? i bet you 50 quid she has a dick. and i bet you an extra 20 it's huge." said jackson.

i laugh. "i'll take those odds" i say.

after about 10 minutes almost the whole class has arrived.

i check the time.

8:52

my form tutor - mr davidson - is late. again.

as if on queue, he stumbles through the door and sits on top of his desk.

"alright?" he says casually to the class, as though he didn't just show up almost 10 minutes late.

he looks around the room, mentally taking the register.

"where's new kid?" he asks.

i scan around the room and sure enough, billie wasn't there.

i hear a loud thud behind me, causing me to literally jump out of my skin. "steady y/n it's just new kid" says mr davidson, chuckling to himself.

i turn to the door and see billie walk through it.

our eyes meet for a split second and time slows down.

i indulge myself in her blue eyes. it's like you can see a moving image of the ocean through them. the waves moving in perfect rhythm. on a perfect summer's day.

perfect.

"oh my god y/n did you just flipping see that?" jackson whispers next to me.

"see what?" i whisper back with a giggle.

"she just totally gave you the look" he says.

"what look?" i say feeling my cheeks warming up.

"the i wanna put my huge penis inside you look, duh" he says.

"what makes you so convinced she has a dick?" i say, laughing. but the bell sounds before he can answer.

after 3rd period i meet jackson for lunch in the cafeteria, we head to our normal table.

"watch out faggot" i hear a deep voice say from behind us. i turn to see billie pour her water on top of jackson's head.

i feel anger boiling up inside me. how dare she treat him like that? i stand up.

"you better fucking watch yourself" i say.

"who the fuck do you think you're talking to?" she says through gritted teeth.

"um let me think for a moment ... oh wait a minute ... you" i say confidently.

i see the waves in her eyes again, it's like the previously calm ocean had hit a storm. the waves crashed ferociously.

she pushes me away from her. "don't get fucking cocky with me" she says, walking away.

i turn to jackson. "are you okay?" i ask, pulling him into a hug.

"i'm great now" he says. "girl you got some fight in you"

i laugh and we eat our lunch.
