"It's first day of school, honey, you don't wanna be late" my mom called me while she does some usual morning chores. She’s so busy doing things while worrying about me being late… aww best mom ever
"Yea mom, I'm still eating" I responded without letting my breakfast be ruined by the thought of school again, besides I don't wanna go to school with my tummy half full, it's not like I'm gonna be late because of it.
My health is more important than listening to the same messages they give during first days, after all. Plus, my mom's pancakes are the best! “It’s not that I’m gonna be late just because of this, duhh” I added
"Ok, honey, I’m just reminding you that Wendy will be here soon" she added as her voice slowly faded as she walked towards somewhere, I don't know where. I don’t know why moms are so busy every morning, I don’t know what they are doing.
They just cleaned the house yesterday, and did other works the other day, so what are they cleaning now? It’s not that we’d mess up that quick
"Oh, speaking of" I mumbled between my food as I remember that girl again. I need to call her. I picked up my phone on the table and started dialing her.
~You called? ~ she asked the moment she answered, gosh! manners please
"Obviously I did" I answered with a smirk on my face ahahaha got her again, it's not that she'd see me smirking though, and it’s not that she’d get offended by that, even if I do that to her all day, she’ll just laugh at me ahahahaha
~I mean why?~ she clarified herself with an annoyed tone, she's not annoyed though, I know her
"Are you fetching me?" I asked as I took the last bite of my pancake
~As usual, duhh~ she shortly answered ~Why do you ask? Like, what's new? I always do that~ she continued ~And I’ll be picking you up, not fetch, I’m not a dog~ she added again ahahahaha
"I just wanna make sure you haven't forgot about me" I answered in a cheesy way, it annoys her “You look like a dog, anyway so it suits you ahahahaha” I added as I cracked up
~Ew~ she replied ~And between the two of us, you look more like a dog than me~ she added before she hung up and before I could say something... gosh!
I picked up my bag and put my phone in it. I made sure that I had my wallet and everything I need for school before I went out. I waited for a few minute until she came.
"Hop in" she invited me without looking at me which I immediately did to avoid being late for the first day of school “Literally hop, you grasshopper” she joked. Gosh wait!
"Hey, hold up!" I poked her as I remembered something "I forgot to brush my teeth" I burst out laughing and quickly went off her car and ran back inside
I went to the sink and grabbed my toothbrush and quickly put toothpaste in it then started brushing. The moment I finished, I quickly ran back to Wendy's car and then she drove off.
"Ew girl, you almost forgot to brush your teeth" she opened up as she chuckled a bit "If you haven't remembered… then you might be having your first day with your rotten breath... yuck" she added while laughing that made me frown
"It's not rotten, duhh, it smelled like pancake" I defended myself "So I still have that nice breath odor even though I haven't brushed my teeth, I'm not like you anyway" I got back at her
"I don't smell like you, ew, don't compare sis, you'll hurt yourself" she teasingly fired back as she laughed herself out
"Yea you don't ‘cause I have a nice smell, and you don't, that's why I wake up early during sleep over at your house so that I won't smell your morning breath, eww" I teased her back and joined her in her laughter “Ask your mom”
"Shut up!" she just said between her laughter “That’s not true!” she exclaimed and continued driving. School is not a long drive since it's just a few blocks from ours. I went off as soon as she parked the car and walked towards the school entrance with her.

So this is what I'm telling you. It all started here, the moment she stepped inside the campus. Miracle started to work with destiny as she took steps heading to their classroom.
And as usual for first day of school, you have to go through a tough time looking for your classroom. Just where in the world is it, right? Having a not-so-big campus but classrooms seems to be the hardest to find, feel me?
Good thing, the bell hasn't rung yet or else they'd end up being late in their first class in the first day. Worst thing, isn't it. At least if Irene will be late, she has Wendy with her, they'd both face the consequences of being late. And that's the best thing, being late with your best friend, like bff goals ahahahaha.
If that happened to you, congratulations then, your high school life was a heck of a lifetime, but if not then guess what? you just missed half of it.
As they walked through the corridors crowded with so many students who seemed like they've been caged for the whole summer that they acted as if they own the corridors. As usual, some group of friends blocking the corridor wherein you can't even get through, and they won't hear you saying 'excuse me' either, or didn't they? They just don't care actually.
Then some bully playing around, hurting other people, and bullying some nerdy guys almost destroying everything nearby. That's what they are, bully from first day to last day! screw them.
And here we are with some pretty girls standing in a corner who hears your 'excuse me' and are so kind enough to let you pass, but don't get fooled that easily. Once they do, you owe them your life, then welcome to 'let me borrow your notes', 'can I copy your homework?', 'do my homework', and 'buy us some snacks' like duhh, don't they have their own life? It sucks. Now tell me, is this still a corridor?
And now they're passing through a group of boys who happened to have Felix in the group. The usual school varsity who wears their varsity jacket right in the very first day of school just to flaunt their so-called nice status, the A-listers. Who cares, anyway? well, there is, those girls in the opposite corner who have nothing to do but to admire those empty-headed players. Duhh high school.
Now, there's Irene passing through Felix. Here we go! Here we go!... Just kidding, nothing's special though, just a couple of students who doesn't care about the high school jocks, and same goes by, they didn’t care either.

"I am loving our principal, you know" I said as I stared at my class schedule that I took from my bag. I don't know why, but whatever it is, they're putting me in the same class as Wendy, like always. So, I get to go to every class with her and ease my boredom
"Yea right, I wonder who blackmailed him" she answered as she laughed with me "Anyway, room 110 is too far, we better hurry" she reminded me. Well, that thing sucks too, our classroom for the first period is very far from the entrance, it's too tiring. Guess what, school is too tiring! "Have you seen those guys we just passed by?" she asked
"Who?" I asked her back as I looked at her still continued to walk
"Them" she shortly answered motioning her head towards some guys hanging out in a corner. It's too hot, but they're wearing jackets, what kind of idiocy is that. And then they'll end up complaining how hot the world is.
"What about them?" I asked her again with an obvious tone of no interest about the topic
"Nothing, they're just so hot" she answered me as her eyes sparkled with what she just said
"Eww, you're having a crush on those jerks?" I sarcastically asked her giving emphasis on the last word I said as I rolled my eyes to display my disgust
"Not much though, but aren't you?" she asked me back giving me an unbelieving look
"Why would I? Just a waste of time" I answered her and looked away to avoid her gaze
"Geez, you're still into that Chan-boy who doesn't even care about you" she mentioned his name that made me smile a little
"Shut up!" I burst out "So what? Chan is better than them, besides those jerks won't care about me either if I had crush on them, so I'd better chose the best" I said between my laughter and struck her arm lightly
"True love, huh?" she asked in mixed annoyance and sarcasm poking my little principle
"I don't care" I uttered without looking at her and focused my eyes on the signboard on top of a classroom door. I guess it's not that far after all, or we just talked much that we didn't notice we've walked so far.
"Room 110" she whispered and opened the door to let us both enter our classroom
