I walked to my locker to take a few books for the next class. Suddenly a hand rest on my shoulder, Lucia Tris, my friend, grinning at me. I replied with a short smile and walked together with her to the locker as we got the same class after this. A few boys glance at us. No, more to Lucia, she was a pretty girl with big brown eyes, naturally long lashes, plump lips and long wavy blonde hair. She also well-dressed making her appearance stand out compared to me.

Grey eyes with hooded shaped eyes, rounded nose tip, thin pinkish lips with fair skin. Black long hair was tied inside my hoodie. I rarely dressed nicely to school, mostly hoodie and jeans or some sort of shirt. I admit I was envy at Lucia because I don't have the confidence to dress up. It's still turned out ugly otherwise.

I pulled a few books from my locker and walked towards Lucia. I see her talking to my other friend.

"Babeeee, how are you today?" Elizabeth asked me at the same time hugged me from the side.

"I'm good" I replied with a smile and pat her head with my other free hand.

" let's go to class," Cristina said and Elizabeth broke our hug, walking to Christina. I watched three of them walked ahead of me. No, I'm not sad, I already know that we just friend not a best friend. We have nothing in common, three of them was popular, pretty and well-dressed whilst I'm just a shadow, if I'm not friended with them, I bet I will be bullied. I shook off my thought and walked toward my class.

The boring history classes ended, I turned to my side to see Lucia sleeping with her head buries in her arm. I pat her back to wake her up, telling her that class already ended.

"Want to go eat pizza with us?" Lucia asked after she finished packing her stuff.

"I'll pass, I have to go home early today. My mom said she needs my help at home" I lied. I'm not really like to go out, plus I know it's would not only be her, it must be a few guys and girls which make me uncomfortable.

"Awww okay, but next time u better come with me" she pleaded and I nodded even though I will bring another excuse if she asks again.

After bidding a bye to her, I walked to the parking lot, and yes I drive to school because my parents too busy to take their child from school. As I reach home, I slid in the key and open the door. As expected, no one's home. I already used to it, coming home, no one asking how's my day or hugging me. After locking the front door and pulling the curtain down, I walked to the kitchen and nothing on the counter except few notes of money which mean mother asked me to buy the food by myself. Again I used to it because of my mother busy working so she rarely cooked. I took the money, shoved it in my jeans pocket and head towards my room to clean myself.

Zachary's

 I lean against my car, I watch a few students walking to their classes. As usual, students would steal a glance to me, the girls practically admiring my handsome face while the guys being a jealousy ass.

Well, I can't deny I have a really handsome face, deep blue eyes as deep as the ocean with almond-shaped eyes with not too long nor too short eyelashes, a prominent nose that fit perfectly with my v-shaped face.

I ran my finger through  my messy brownish hair to bring it to the back which makes the girls drool. I winked at the blondie hair girl as she looking at me and she tripped making me chuckle. Being too handsome can make people tripped just with a wink. That's the power I had.

The students rushed to their classes as the bell ring and I haven't move an inch. I decided to skipped classes today, and if you asking why, it because I want to; I rule my life and no one can say anything because still excel in my studies even though I skipped classes often.

If u wondering then why I'm coming to school in the first place is because I want to. I like people steal a glance at me and girls watching me with a twinkle in their eyes or tripped when I winked. As I'm about to get into my car, a fist landed on my face making me stumble before my brain quickly registered what happen and throwing a punch to a human being in front of me. My punch hit right on his cheekbones and he falls on the ground. Wincing.

Ezakiel or eza was on the floor groaning because of the pain. I rolled my eyes up, not even feeling guilty of punching my childhood friend. Yes, a friend.

"I fucking barely punch you and you reply with a whole strength!?" He shouted like a girl that got dumped by her boyfriend. Luckily the parking lot was free from any human being.

"Self-reflect" I reply nonchalantly as I help him get up. His cheeks show bruises and a few lip cuts. Suit himself for punching me first.

"I just joking" He's reply with an annoying face. Probably because I ruined his perfect face. Honestly, I didn't understand how I can befriend with this freak, he just so weird, suddenly come punching, jumping or making weird voices. I'm just glad I don't be like him.

"Yea nice way of joking," I said as I check my face on the side mirror. just a slight bruise, still I looked perfect though.

"So today I want to skipped classes and you need to bring me out," he says as he walked to the passenger seat.

I watched him with boring expression. Thinking should I dragged him out and throw him into the dustbin near the parking lot but I was snapped out of my thought when eza scream inside the call calling my name. For the millions of time, I questioned myself why I have a friend like him. I hoped in my car, started the engine and making a way out of school like the school own by me.
