I was walking to school hearing One direction music. It was my daily routine. I felt someone pull my left earphone out.

Kiera: What are you?

Caleb: A handsome man I suppose. Your shoelaces are untied.

He was indeed one of the most good looking guys in our school for sure. Tall guy, played basket ball, had his little wavy hair cover parts of his forehead. I tied my shoelaces while he waited for me. We had assembly today. I was getting awarded for academics.

Principal: The flowers are full bloom, and the dust has returned as spring fever. I hope the academic goals and plan of our students here at Sal High school are not faltering. There are some students who must have heard of this phrase....

I was listening to him very carefully but my concentration broke because my teacher started to say something to me.

Mr. Watson: I thought you had slacked off because you were a bored student, but judging from your awards, I guess there were good results after me letting you skip evening study sessions.

I smiled at him thanking him.

Principal called me.

Principal: Ms. Kiera Wood has received recognition in the 14th annual all-student writing competition.

Everyone clapped, I bowed to the teachers and shaked my hand with the principal. I walked down the stage when the principal called me again.

Principal: Student, you should take your award.

OK!!!! I need to stop being so idiot all the time. I went back , apologized and took the award. Many students were laughing, it was already enough embarrassing.

I had downloaded the second season of Friends to give it to Elena. Elena Rodriguez, the most popular girl in our school, straight hair, glossy lips, epitome of Mean Girl's plastics. I definitely didn't wanna piss her off by not doing something she asked me to do.

Kiera: Elena... I got the season 2 of Friends. You said you wanted to watch it.

Elena: Ohh. Nice timing. I have history in first period. It would have been so boring.

Kiera: You're going to watch it during class??

Elena: It's okay. Don't worry it won't get confiscated.

She took the pen-drive. Or rather snatched it. I didn't like breaking rules.

Caleb: Kiera. Where is your head at? Or did you get so many awards that you're giving this one to trash?

Caleb said to me while handing me my award. I must have left it somewhere.

Caleb: Hey, eat this.

He offered me a basket of something wrapped.

Kiera: What is this?

Caleb: Walnut Brownies. You like Brownies.

Elena: I also like Brownies.

Elena said sheepishly. She was a very confident girl, but when it came to Caleb, all girls melted.

Caleb: So what? Are you going to take this from her as well? You already took the pen-drive.

Elena: No she gave -

Before Elena could complete Caleb left.

Kiera: Let's eat together. I can share the brownie.

Elena: He is such a loser.

Elena said and gave me back the pen-drive and left. Ava crashed into me while reading her book. She was the scholar of my class. Her book and pad fell. I picked it up and gave it to her.
