Urghhh!!! I hate alarms. I reach for the alarm clock and switch it off without opening my eyes.
I lie on my bed for about five seconds before shooting out of bed. Shit! I have a discussion and I'm now late.
Thank God it's now a Friday, this week has gone painfully slow.
I dash to the bathroom to clean up. Usually I would take long in the bathroom but I can't watse anymore time.
I rush out if the bathroom to get ready. Luckily for me, I picked out my outfit yesterday night.
A short grey skirt, long sleeved dark blue turtle neck top and high heeled black boots.

I don't bother to put makeup knowing I can do that later

I don't bother to put makeup knowing I can do that later. I grab my school bag and rush down stairs. Since breakfast is a no for me today, I grab an apple and orange juice before heading to my car.
Getting to school takes me about ten minutes, I drop a few things I don't need right now in my locker, apply a little mascara and clear lip gloss before heading to the library where Dave is waiting for me. Dave is my English project partner, we have to write a love poem that will be presented in front of the class.
Him and I have gotten close in the past days mainly because of swimming. I joined the swim team on my second day of school, I'm that good, not showing off. I learnt that Dave is captain boys' swim team.
He is actually really nice unlike his friends. Very funny and childish too but he can be serious when a situation calls for it.

"Morning Dave," I greet before taking my sit next to him.
"Hurray, my Sunshine finally arrives. " I roll my eyes at his comment.
"So let's get started, shall we? " I ask him.
" Straight to business I see, " he replies.
"Dude I'm serious about my grades."
" Talking of grades, where do you want to go to college? " he asks.
" Don't you think it's too early to be talking about college? " I reply.
"It's never too early, it's good to have things planned ahead you know, so that you are not stranded when the time comes. " he tells me in a very serious tone.
" You know for a person who is always speaking nonsense, you sound so mature right now. " I tell him looking at him in shock.
"Oh, you wound me Sunshine, "he says clutching his chest feigning pain. I roll my eyes and he chuckles.
"Anyway, I already wrote our poem, you can have a look and let me know what you think, " he says giving me his notebook.
"Who knew David Williams was hard working, " I tease him gently pinching his nose.
"I'm serious about my grades, " he replies with the same statement I told him earlier. I chuckle and proceed to read the poem out loud.

I walked into that classroom and my eyes fell on you.
But how our destinies would cross paths, no one knows.
Walking up to you with no specific intention.
I was quite surprised by the affection.
You convinced me you had no feelings for me but it didn't change my love for you.
I couldn't possibly believe that your flirting meant nothing.
But I'm glad you finally confessed that you had feelings for me too.
I felt all different emotions at once.
With your confession, I had gained the entire world in an instant.
And nothing could ever make me forget it.
Because I never thought that walking into that class, on the very first day.
That girl in the front row, with brown eyes.....
Would ever make me feel this way.
