"Girls be careful around the new car! If there's any scratches on it, you'll be paying for it until you're thirty-four."

"Oh honey you always were a big kidder."

"Not kidding Lindsey, they're growing up way too fast."

"It's a part of life hun, Robin's already becoming a woman at fourteen."

"I don't like one bit of it. I can smell the boys a mile away."

"The steaks smell good, Walter. Did you use your secret ingredient?"

"A chef never reveals his secrets."

"Wanna know my secret?

I Love You."

"I Love You too, Lindsey Meadows."

"Ewe mom and dad kissed! Yucky."

"ROBIN GET UP IT'S TIME FOR SCHOOL!!"

I awoke from my slumber, dragging myself out of my bed, and quickly got ready, because mom is really impatient. I had the same dream again which was nothing new but it makes me miss him more and more everyday.
When I walked down the stairs she was pacing back and forth. After reaching the bottom step, I stood still and she just stared at me.

"Well?", I asked sarcastically, with my a hand on one hip.

"Well, what Robin?", she asked impatiently.

"How do I look?"

She rolled her eyes, "Robin you've been going to school for two months now and you're still asking the same question?"

I crossed my arms irritated, "Because, you still say that I dress trashy, so why not!"

She walked closer to me, "Don't you dare use that kind of tone with me young lady, now go get in car before you're late for school!"

My heart sank, I hated talking to my mom like that but ever since dad left three years ago, she's been so rude and drinking a lot. I mean if she's gone next I'll be raising my five year-old sister by myself and I'm only seventeen. Thank goodness the car ride was silent, except for the faint music coming from the radio.

Although I was pulled out of my thoughts when we pulled up in front of the school.

"Now listen, I have to go pick up Chloe so I need you straight home after the bell."

I got out and slammed the door. I hated school, but anything to get away from my mom.

"ROOOBBIIINNNN!!"

The scream of my name made me roll my eyes, Taylor always acted like it was the first day of school all over again when she saw me the first thing in the morning.

"Taylor!!", I called back a little less enthusiastically.

She ran up to me and gave me a tight hug. "Oh how I've missed you over the weekend!"

"You know you could just come see me, but then again mom wouldn't let that happen."

We reached our lockers,well mine, to be exact, hers was three lockers down.

"So anything new happen?", Taylor had asked with glee.

"Hmm..mom got a new job about a month ago."

"Ooh that sounds exciting!"
She bent down to her locker, "So I have some wonderful news!!"

She ALWAYS had news, it was like she was the news channel or something. She was beginning to walk back up to me but something or rather someone blocked her.

He leaned against the locker so smoothly. His black, smooth hair all in one place, his dark, brown eyes staring me down, and his lips, oh god his lips, how he licked them so well. I didn't even know his name and I was all ready in love, did I mention his sweet varsity jacket.

"Hey there, what's your name cutie?"

I was daydreaming so hard that I didn't even hear him ask me the question.

"Name eyes Robin what's here?"

"Haha what?"

He chuckled, a cute one at that!

I shook my head, "Umm..my name's Robin. What's yours?"

"We—"

"Oh well there's the bell, don't wanna be late for class so bye!!"

I quickly walked past him, grabbed Taylor, and headed straight for first period. I entered the class and sat in my desk and buried my face in my hands. Oh what was I thinking, the bell wasn't gonna ring for another five minutes. I felt so bad for just leaving him like that, he'll probably never talk to me again.

*RING RING*

"Okay class let's get started shall we?" Mr. Oaken started calling out names on the list of attendance.

"...Amber, Ania, Anna, Ashley..."

I just started doodling in my notebook as usual.

"...Malia, Mira, Nicole..."

I always doodled something different, something extraordinary.

"...Rebeca, Robin, Roslyn..."

"And last but not least, our new student, 'Zayn'."

Everyone looked around puzzled seeing as that person wasn't in here.

Mr. Oaken looked back at the attendance sheet, "Hmm..do we have a Zayn Malik here?"

Then the door opened.

"Right here sir, sorry I'm late I'm new here so I'm having a bit of trouble finding classes."

It was him, the guy I left puzzled at my locker, and his name was Zayn. Just the sound of it gave me tingles.

"Well Mr. Malik, thanks for the tardy slip and you can sit two seats behind Robin."

I didn't even pay attention to what Mr. Oaken said just then because he occupied my mind. I felt a couple of taps on my arm, noticing it was just Taylor.

"Hey it's that guy.", she whispered.

"Yeah I know!!", I said in a girly voice.

"Also Mr. Malik before you leave today make sure you get your uniform, school rules."

Like I said I didn't pay attention to what Mr. Oaken—or my other teachers—said/did because all I could think about was...Zayn. Then 3:45p.m. rolled around.
