Beep! Beep! Beep!
I woke up by the alarm clock. It was flashing 6:30, so I sat up on my bed and grab my glass of water from the night stand and drank it. I hopped out from the bed so did Oscar, then walked into the kitchen, I started making my breakfast and fed Oscar. I monitored him while having my breakfast.

After we were done, I head back to my room and grabbed my clothes and I jumped into the shower and then brushed my teeth. After taking a smooth bath I got dressed in my new outfit.

I pulled my black hair (which I've got from my mom) into a high ponytail. I did light makeup by applying some foundation, kajal, and a little lip balm. I know it's the 1st day but it's not like I'm dying to meet my bf or to get fake complement from some realistic people lol. I'm pretty good in my simple form so I don't think I need some heavy cosmetics to make over myself.

'Ha! I'm Elsa Lawrence not some gold digger who is happy to have herself and don't need anybody's company to make my self comfortable with.' "Woof- woof" Oscar jerked me back to the real world. 'Huh! I know I'm not some pretty princess type girl who has her prince charming with her, who craves for her...and did I just give myself a low confidence useless speech'. I pat Oscar and set myself on the couch and he jumped beside me. 'Well I don't know why I'm feeling so empty now a days, I should be happy because I'm 'single' and should only focus on getting a job so I won't have to be depend on my 'parents' anymore'. My stomach growled. I looked at Oscar and gave him a tight smile, sure I was talking to him or who?

'I'm feeling so pathetic nowadays like a little girl who doesn't get her favorite dress on her birthday. It's like I'm having an internal battle with myself, I'm so confused. Could it be because I haven't talk to 'someone' special for so long, could it be....NO! I know, I would be lying to myself if I say that it's not all because of hearing about 'him' I hate him! I should be, after all the things he had done to me, he ruined our friendship, he broke my trust and made me cry still, he can make me blush with simple gestures, for snatching my childhood and everything he has done to me. BUT....the truth is that I still miss him no matter how much I hate him, but I still like him, I still like 'Alec Jones'. I want to curse him but the little girl inside me stops me from doing that every time! She makes me stop, to not slap him right on his kissable face, to punch on his pretty nose, to jerk him back and forth and ask him WHY?'

I was eating my sandwich, when my phone rang, I picked it up.

"Hello!"

"Hey babe! You are up." She asked.

"Yeah! Just having my breakfast. what about you?" I asked already knowing the answer.

"Well I'm doing my makeup, so are you ready? May I come to get you?" She already sounds excited.

"Yep! And no! You don't need to get me bec-" I said in dismay and she cut me off by screaming.

"Why? Are you sick? Are you walking to the college? Hold up! I'm coming at yo-"

"Mia-Mia!! MIA!! WOULD YOU PLEASE JUST TAKE A DEEP BREATH" I practically screamed to shut her up.

"Ok! So I'm not sick (but I wish I was) nor I'm walking to college..."

"I have my own car Finally! So, I'm coming to pick you up. Does this sound okay?" I explained but didn't know the idea of me driving the car was good enough.

"Great" and CONGRATS babe!!"

"Well Xia-Xia (Thanks), so be ready. I'll be there in 15 minutes. Bye!"

"Bye!"

I hangup and check the time and shoot! I had been lost in my thoughts that I actually forgot about going to College.

I rushed to the kitchen and put the dishes in the dishwasher then clean up the table. After finishing the 'work'. I grab my bag and get out of the house, locking the front door.

I hopped in the car 'oh! My new Kia black seltos, how much I love you.' By starting the engine, I set the front view mirror and drove to her place.

I drove the car safely and made it to her house. After reaching there, I texted her.

Me- "Hey! I'm here..."

Mia- "Coming..." (she texted back instantly)

After few minutes she came and closed the car door. "WOW! Babe you've gotta nice car." She said while putting her seat belt.

"Thanks" I should be grateful because My dad gifted me this last year but I just got my license yesterday and he's pretty wealthy not me (note the sarcasm). And I'm glad he still worries about me as a 'family member'. Well it's sad, but all true.

"So, let's go for a drive to 'hell', Oops! I mean 'school'." And we both laughed.

We pulled into the driveway and she started talking about yesterday's party and I only nodded. She's really is cool but never push me for something I detest. And besides party isn't my thing.

It was my first day driving the car to college. And believe me, I was nervous and my hands were shaking. 'C'mon El you can do it'. "Well, If I were your driving college teacher so, I would've given you 'D' for driving the car like Mr. Bean." I looked at her and then in front again, trying to figure out that why the hell! she was comparing my driving with Mr. Bean.

When all of sudden she burst out laughing like, a clown fell on stage at a show time. "J-just lo-ook at your face.... gurl y-you're looking like... like as if I have asked you to sing a sad song in a party." She continued to laugh and I smacked her arm. "Haha! Very funny" I mumbled. "I think you are good at driving El... but just need to focus on controlling rather than your 'xenophobia." She reassured and I nodded. It wasn't like, I have a fear of driving but she was right I should just focus more on control and I will be good at it. "I hope so, but I'm not sure..." I said in doubtful voice."Of course, you will... you're a human being Right! And nothing is impossible for human" She declared in full Confident voice.
"Ok! I will keep that in mind Captian" I joked but I just couldn't deny the fact that she's highly positive in thinking.

"Okay you choose" I asked, giving her my phone changing the topic.

"WOW! Ice-Cream" she snapped while looking at the phone. "Yep" I said and she played the song and turned the volume up.

'look so good yeah, look so sweet, baby you deserve a treat' We started singing.

"I love this song" She said, enjoying the song. "Yeah! Me too." I smiled we always do that and music helps us too. I read somewhere that music can boost our memory and helps to lighten the mood and eases the pain and anxiety problems. Overall music can make you happier.

We reached the 'Robinson Hill University' which I don't even want to dream about. I parked my car in the parking lot carefully but surprisingly there wasn't much cars parked other than ours.

"See this is a brilliant start of 1st day in sophomore. We've got the nearest parking today." Mia exclaimed enthusiastically and Collecting every little thing to make it look like a really good start. "Yeah! But it can also happen by deception." I spoke killing her optimistic thoughts but she just scoffed.

"Hey! babe, Am I looking 'pretty." She asked while checking herself in the front view mirror. "Yep you're looking beautiful" I nodded and unlocked the seat belt. We got out of the car and saw the crowd of people everywhere on the ground chatting, laughing at Silly jokes, judging people's dressing (stupid people). I saw Mia and suddenly I felt self conscious, she was looking decent. WOW! She's fairly confident with her looks.' I mean she does makeup wherever she goes and I mean who doesn't want attention right? But in a good way, they want people to notice them or at least their loved ones. But Mia is not like that who have a bi*chy attitude or wants guys attention so that she can hangout with them.

She has a good and positive attitude. And has god-gifted beauty both inside and outside. 'I would be lying if I said that she's 'ugly'. And you will surely take it as a joke.'

It's hard to get a good friend like her. And trust me when she invited me to her 'birthday party' for the first time. It was like 'rabbit' inviting a 'frog' on her 'fancy' birthday party. 'Ugh! I know this is hilarious to relate these two but I was feeling exactly like that.' But she's good enough to make everyone her friend.

"Hey Girl! Back to the earth." She said bringing me back from my 'dream world of birthday party.

"Hn..um w-what?"

I said, Are you going to stand her like a statue..." I looked at her and blurt out. "Oh! Yeah!...Sorry I was just thinking about the first day, you know..." I said nervously which wasn't a full lie.

"Aw! Don't worry babe, I hope you definitely will make some new friends this year." She declared and I nodded. "And who knows, you will find your 'true love' as well." She winked at me and I rolled my eyes.

Well, I appreciate her concern but I surely don't know that 'how I'm going to make new friends or at least try to make 'one', before.

For her saying it's just simple task like, Be open, connect genuinely and be sweet, just be yourself etc. See it's so simple like picking an apple but for your bad luck when you get there you suddenly realise that this is nothing easy like picking an apple but a huge ship filled with poisoned ones and it's too late to realise cause your fear has reached in your head and trying to get over. 'Huh! Difficult Right!' But I don't need to try these 'supernatural' things now cause I have Mia and Noah and they are Enough for me without getting dejected.

"You don't need to worry, that is not going to happen." I said being honest.

"Beside, it's not a good idea to look for another headache."

"Bit*ch." She glared at me and I laughed.

"Speaking of which, where is this dumbass ?" She growled looking towards the crowd.

"Well Hello! there, Beautiful girls." Said a voice said, it was Noah.

"Hi! Coco-b" Mia smiled widely. He came close to her and they kissed. 'Ew... I can't see that.'

They pulled apart and looked at each other. "You look great today." He rubbed her arms.

"Thanks! I won't argue with that but you also managed a well-look." She replied in more classier way.

"Yeah! Like Bulbasaur" I rolled my eyes. "Hey! Dear sister." He turned and looked at me.

"Um... Hi Noah! You're early today. " I greeted him. "Oh! I missed you." He joked and gave me a bear hug. 'Ugh! I hate hugging.'

"Okay, t-that's enough, I c-can't breathe." I broke the hug and gasped for the air. 'Stupid set-backs', I'm sure, I heard somewhere that it's intoxicating to be in 'relationships' but more if it's friendship. But I'm still perplexed about it.

"Hey! Are you coming with me." I asked but they seemed very busy. "Okay! So, I'm leaving will catch you guys later." I waved them behind me.

I was walking down to the Principal office, the corridor was silent but the noticeboard was filled with information about the upcoming events where I really was wondering, how this year was going to end. 'Ha! Look at me, it just have started today.' 1st day in hell.

I suddenly tripped by my shoes in front of the office. I leaned down put my I.D aside on the floor and started to tying up my shoes laces.

At the same time someone opened the office gate. "Um... what are you doing here." A voice asked, it was 'familiar' like I have heard it somewhere but didn't recognize.

I lifted my head up to see... A guy.

'Oh! No...'
It's not possible! I'm definitely dreaming.
It's not 'him....'

IT CAN'T BE HIM...
