"Helloo! Helloooo! Wakey, wakey daydreamer!" My best friend Lia whisper-shouted in my poor ear while waving her hands frantically in front of my face.

Lia is a crazy nut. She's mad! Funnily enough, she is Mrs Popular and she is friends with me in school! Also, she is head cheerleader *insert eye roll*.

"Woah! I'm here! Calm yourself!" I groan sleepily in a hushed voice back as I momentarily took my eyes off her to look at Mrs Peterson, the oldest teacher ever. I bet she could make into Guinness World Records for her age, that's how old she is. She looks like a regular old grandma wearing her knitted jumper, a beige long sleeved shirt, and patterned ankle length skirt.  Nobody ever listens to her because she still hasn't figured out what detention is. I still wonder how she is employed...

"Gosh Lils stop zoning out! We need to talk about your sweet sixteen!" She giggled excitedly.

"Ugghh" I replied lazily.

She gave me an 'Are you serious' look just as the lunch bell rang. Saved by the bell! I quickly grabbed my pencil case,  bag, and folder and hastily ran into the cafeteria so I could avoid Lia's interrogation. I sat down at the table in the center in the same spot as I always do every day for four years. Lia sits with her popular buddies on Wednesdays and Fridays she always begs me to join them but who wants to be friends with a group of stereotypical mean girls? Today was a Wednesday so could either sit by myself like a loner, try and fit in with the popular people or talk to the snotty nerds. I chose to be a loner. Who needs people when you have books eh?

For the rest of lunch, I sat down in the old-book-smelling library on a lavender purple bean bag and curled up into a tight cocoon and read the new book to my favorite series. Books are great! They capture your imagination without fail once you get your hands on the right one. As you can see I'm a little bit of a geek... So that means I'm A* student without fail and I spend majority of my day studying or reading and on a very rare occasion, I talk to people! Shock! Horror! People call me lonely but I prefer to be called an introvert.

Introvert: Someone who to on their own and rather than with other.

If you haven't realized I have dropped a subtle hint that my name is Lily earlier in the chapter, correction my name is Lily Adara.

Adara: 'Noble' in Hebrew

Or Lils for short. If I'm telling things about myself then I guess you should know I'm different... Basically, I have Synaesthesia that means when someone says a word I see a colour its different for other people with Synaesthesia. I'm used to having it so it's not different from normal. People make a big fuss and think I'm mentally disabled and treat me like a two-year-old but once they see my grades they lay off immediately.

Ten minutes before the bell rings I rush to my locker (which is conveniently outside the library), hastily grab my English and Science book and run off to 4th period. Science. During the entire lesson, my eyes are glued to the teacher, board or my book. I tried my best to ignore the boys behind me that threw scraps of paper with annoyingly perfect aim. With reluctance, I turned around to see the grinning boys and narrowed my eyes into slits aiming it at the gang leader the famous Dylan Andrews. Dylan Andrews is your stereotypical popular boy, he has everything!  Money, hotness and even nineteen girls heart it infuriates me sometimes. Swooning girls pass him all this time, I mean. All. The. Time. The only girl who doesn't swoon over him is Lia, even I can't help falling for his charm every once in a while.

Period five was a breeze as we just read a passage of our assigned books. I walked to the car park of the school waiting for Lia to come out of her last period. Dylan approached me, I would be a fool if my heart didn't start racing, as much as hate him. He walked closer and closer, and yes, he was walking towards me.

'What do you want?' I asked suspiciously getting straight to the point.

'Jeez! Can't I say hi?' He joked putting his hands up in surrender.

'No. What do you want?' I asked again.

'Lia, I want Lia.' He said.

'Well, she still isn't here yet. Why do you want her?'

'No reason.'

'You annoy me.'

Lia walked out of the school and scanned the parking lot, she saw me and waved. She walked over and said hi to me and then looked at Dylan afterward she crossed her arm, leaned on one foot and raised an eyebrow, a classic sassy pose. He widened his eyes in shock, as you can probably tell he wasn't used to not being swooned at.

"What?" Lia asked bluntly towards Dylan.

He evidently swallowed anxiously while I smirked at the reality TV show before my eyes. Lia spun her head at me for a split second and winked knowingly.

"Lia! Long time no see!" Dylan replied joyfully and as cool as ever.

"We haven't even had a proper conversation before. All of them are requests for dates." Lia stated.

"Well... This is a conversation!"

"No this is a rejection to another pathetic date! Don't you get it? I'm not a silly girl who falls in love with you every other moment!" Lia exasperated while she pointed at a group of giggling girls at the other side of the carpark.

At this point, I was almost in tears. Dylan comically hung his head down low and shuffled towards the noisy football players. Lia turned around to face me again.

"Dylans." Lia said rolling her eyes.

"Com'on let's get some ice-cream!" I exclaimed my mood turned instantly joyful at word ice-cream.

Lia blinked at me.

"It's winter though..." She pointed out.

"And?"

"It's flippin' freezing!"

"And?"

"I am lactose-intolerant!"

"And?"

Lia awnsered with a well-deserved glare then her face lifted up.

"I know!" She smiled.

"What?"

"Healthy kale smoothies!"

Now it was my turn to blink at her, so I did. She smirked gleefully at my loss of words.

"Well... I-I do-don't like you!"I replied childishly and that's when I knew I had been defeated.

A/N: Hi Wattpadians! Longgg time since an update! I haven't disappeared just yet! I have created a new short story about Lia and Lilly! What do you guys think of the characters? And Dylan? I think he is a bit childish! Each story would land under five or less chapters so it keeps it fresh and new! Last thing, 1127 words altogether!
