Quarter to six in the morning!!Amaria was still asleep and was totally late for school."Jeeze!"looking at her watch.She just wore her uniform took her bag pack  and paced out of the building.

There were no taxis to be found so she was forced to walk at school.She kept on dodging the potholes as it rained yesterday's night to avoid draining her shoes.
A scooter came from behind,landed on one of the potholes and splashed that muddy water over Amaria"s uniform"are u crazy!"she screamed behind it.
It reversed  back to her."maybe u will need this"handing over a face cloth to Amaria .
she didn't  take it but was  trying to see the face behind the scooter mask..."crazy girl"exposing dem golden tooth.It was Fenelli!!!."you?!" Amaria  was surprised...He didn't  wait for anything  but threw that face cloth at her then drove away. "jeeze this guy"she mumbled while trying to rub off the dirt in her uniform. She blinked at her watch  it was now 6,fortunately she found a cab and dropped her at school.

The bells were ringing for the eight-o'clock mass.The kids were all lined up waiting to go to their classes. A second before,all had been confusion  as they milled around,playing games,calling to one another but now all was quite.
"we will begin our day with a prayer children ", Mrs Anne said.They folded their hands then bent their heads.Amaria took an opportunity to shoot a spitball at Fenelli cause she wanted to revenge cause of what happened in the morning.It hit him on the back of the neck and stuck there.
It looked  so funny that she almost began to laugh in the middle  of the prayer, but she stopped herself in time.When the prayer was  over ,Fenelli was indignant as he looked around to see who did it.Amaria kept on giggling behind  her best friend Sharon who she met 11 years ago not Fenelli to see her but unfortunately he spotted her.
He approached her with the same anger in his eyes,Amaria's knees began to shake as he took step after step towards her.
"im sorry a about  this morning",he said.Her consternation vanished,she was totally relieved  that he did  not notice it was her who did that horrible  thing to him."its ok" giggling behind her words.
This was the first time Fenelli saw her like that.He was moved,or shall i say he felt somewhere somehow connected to Amaria.....As he was about to speak again,Amaria stormed out of the room avoiding any mishaps or introduction taking place between them.He felt embarrassed.
The morning passed by lazily.The air was cool ,and the thought that the school would be out in a few weeks made Amaria to wish it should be closed today itself.
Normally together with her dad they would usually go and visit her mother's grave yard and stay there for long hours .This made Amaria to feel the presence of her mother eventhough she can not remember how they were in person as she died only when she was six years old and now she was nineteen years old. Grew up not experiencing a mothers love but her father tried by all means to balance both side even though it was way too difficult for him.
Amaria did not know how to interact with people thats why she created her own world that consisted only her ,Sharon and her father. She met Sharon 11years ago after her mothers death and have being very good friends

Time for lunch came buh Amaria didnt go to the cafeteria because his father for the third time now forget to pay for the lunch fee.She was actually used to it kind of,so she normally said she was on diet when someone tends to ask her . Things did not work like they always do that day,she felt a lot dizzy.She then tried to walk to the bathrooms.Fenelli saw her "are you ok?" he asked with worrisome in his eyes,this was the first time he got worried for someone else.She did not reply,but kept on walking when she by passed by him she lost her balance.Fenelli grabbed her waist in order to support and save her from falling."are you ok"he asked again.She did not answer back again until he now saw she has collapsed...
"jeez,where am i gonna take her?" he asked himselve while looking around to see someone who can help but there was non
