Aleri: Gud morning Handsome ❤️❤️

It started like any other day. That's how these books usually start right? Like any other day?

I shrugged the thoughts that usually clouded my mind. Last night's dreams, the previous day's trouble and thoughts, disappear as I do my buttons.

I grab my lunch bag and other essentials and shove it deep within my sports bag. I debate which shoulder to carry it on and, as per usual, settle it on my left.

Less than ten minutes pass and we're on the road, heading to the source of all my pain and facades. I can't help but bounce my knee as I finish yet another page of Percy Jackson.

As soon as we arrive, I dash out of the car after a light kiss from my father and grabbing my bags. I trudge slowly through the school, as always noting the amount of people and relieving the dreams from the night before even after trying to forget them.

My friends smile at me and shout my nickname for the world to know but I can't hear. The only difference for that day was that Nickelback was screaming in my ear instead of the usual Trap.

And that is me. The same boring routine that my life is. Dress, come to school, and talk with my friends. I guess you could say we're jocks with a deficiency of muscle. I probably would spend my day drifting between classes, literally missing my girlfriend and then going to practice. I would get home past four and tell my girlfriend how I wish I had gotten a chance to see her. But the truth was I didn't.

I guess my best friend would say that I just don't want to be lonely and it's true. I don't do it on purpose and don't get me wrong, she is beautiful. Luxurious hair pinned low, soft brown eyes and very short. I guess that wasn't so desirable. There is a desired height difference and then there's Alexa Freya who just about reaches my chest.

I guess I'm selfish in a way. I know I don't like her but I wouldn't give her up. If that's because I'm bored or whatever then so be it but I don't want to leave her. Who else would I be with then?

Recess came just about as quick as it would normally on a Monday. I stood in the sun with my friends, passing a tennis ball between us. Above the pavilion, in the shade, Alexa and her group stood. I didn't make a move to go closer.

Under the stairs my best friend, and coincidentally my ex, Ivory Elizabeth and her friends sat. I didn't make a move to go closer. For one if I come anywhere near her, her male friends would pounce on me before I could get a word out and every time I see Ivory I have a habit of talking about my problems.

Our school, Luke Middleton, was built on two plateaus. The actual buildings were built on the first which was about four meters higher than the second plateau. The pavilion was situated on the hill between them. The second plateau was used as the sports fields and my personal chill place.

I didn't understand what made Luke choose this spot of all places to build a secondary school but there you go.

My eyes travelled to the far left of the buildings. Another group of girls were hanging out in the corner of the corridor, Blair Summer and her group. Before I could even realize it, I had counted them. One was missing. I couldn't remember her name but I did notice that small fact.

My eyes travelled further left, noticing a figure hanging around the fence in school clothes.

Who-

I thought but was interrupted by the ball being looped in my direction and the giggling of my girlfriends group.
