"Give me back my strawberry cupcake!" I put my lunch tray down and sat at the chair.
"Can you guys please stop bickering with each other? You guys looked like an old married couple." I looked at them weirdly. Andy dropped the cupcake at her tray and they both looked away. I could see a faint blush from Julia's cheeks.
I raised my eyebrow looking at them but they avoided my stares.
"Hey guys." Carmen came with her lunch and sat at my right.
"Hey." we greet her, Carmen turned to Andy and Julia then raised her eyebrow looking at me. I shrugged and eat my pizza.
"Okay, so did you guys know?" Carmen said.
I shook my head still chewing my food "know what?" Julia asked.
"The new student." Carmen said in a 'duh' tone. "So he was in my first class and I hate to say this but he is literally hot more hot than Liam. "No offence val." she turned to me.
"None taken."
"What's his name?" Julia asked.
"What are you guys talking about?" I turned around to see my boyfriend standing behind me.
"Liam where have you been?" I said, he sat next to my left beside Andy.
"Biology, that's why." I frowned looking at him "what's wrong with biology?" He sighed "I failed the quiz."
"No wonder Mr. Matthews held you back." Julia said cause she and Liam has the same class.
"But how can you failed biology? I found that subject pretty easy."
Liam rolls his eyes "Not all of us are a genius here." this time Julia rolls her eyes "I'm only joking, chill." I chuckled, Julia is the smartest person in our group, she always passed every test with an A plus on it. I wonder how her brain works,
I put my hand on his shoulder, he turned to me "I can help you with that." I smiled at him. He raised his eyebrow teasingly "You sure, do you even take biology?"
"Well, no but I can try to help you." I smile sheepishly.
When I was going to asked him about biology, all of a sudden the cafeteria grew silent. I frowned and looked around so are my friends, I followed their gaze and it landed on the entrance. I turned my head slightly to take a peak of the person. My eyes widen, is this a dream? I blink my eyes couple time but he's still there.
Carmen said "That's the new student that I meant." he scan the place then walked towards the cafeteria and I turned my head back before he sees me.
Carmen nudged my arm and I shrugged it away, she nudges my arm a little hard this time "val!" She yelled in whisper "What?" I snapped.
"Why is he heading towards our table?" Oh no "He is?"
"Yes." I came up with a plan to leave the cafeteria but I have to make a good excuse in case my friends are wondering. I took my phone out and put it in my ear, pretending that my abuela call me.
"Abuela, cómo estás?" Carmen raised her eyebrow and I mouthed abuela, I gestured to her that I have to go and she nodded.
"Sí, lo sé." I grab my bag and walked hurriedly out of the cafeteria through the school courtyard and find a safe place to hide. Once I'm safe I breath out relieved that no one notice I'm gone.
I put my phone in my pocket and took a peak to see where that boy is located but I didn't found him. I feel someone tapped my shoulder, I swatted the person hand and keep looking inside the cafeteria to find that boy. Someone keep tapping my shoulder and it seriously making me irritated.
"Looking for someone?" A voice said from behind me.
"Yeah, but I couldn't find him." I said still scanning the cafeteria.
"Well maybe you're looking in the wrong place" I furrowed my eyebrow. "How do you know?"
"Try turn around." I slowly turn around, a look of shocked plastered on my face. He stood there with a smirk on his face. "W-what are y-you doing h-here?" I stuttered.
"I'm here to study." he said in a 'duh' tone. "No, I meant you were there a minute ago," I pointed at the cafeteria "How can you be here?" I looked at him confused.
He leans his body to the nearby wall while shoving his hands in his pocket and closed his eyes. "I have my ways." he said.
I took a moment to study his appearance, he had a lean yet muscular build, with a white shirt, ripped jeans and a pair of converse he wears. I could slightly see his outlining abs from his shirt. His dirty blonde hair was slightly messy but he pulled it off the looks. Not all boys could pulled the messy kind of hair.
Carmen was right, this boy is hot. He open his eyes and smirk, obviously caught me looking at him. I looked away and fight the blush that starting to creep to my cheeks.
"You could take a picture it'll last longer."
"Who said I was looking at you? And why are you looking for me?" I cross my arms over my chest. He pushed himself from the wall and walked up to me until he was a few inches away, I step back startled by his action.
"W-what are you doing?" My eyes widen "You're lying." he said.
"N-no, I'm not." he step back "Whatever you say, your mom told me that I could find you so you could show me around school." he shrugged and walked back to the school. Seriously my mom told him that? He then stop in his track and looked back "Oh you have something on your cheek." he glances at me and smirks mischievously.
I took my phone out and check my face in the screen, damn! No wonder he knows. My cheeks are red. I looked up to see him but he's no longer there. I cursed under my breath for blushing in front of him.
Damn this cheek! Blushing at the wrong time and damn myself I couldn't take my eyes from his looks.
The last bell ring signaling our day has end. I gathered my books and bag then head to my locker. Opening my locker, I shove all my books inside it and closed my locker."Val." I turned around to see Liam calling me "What's wrong?""I was just wondering why you disappear at lunch." oh crap! "Oh.. I was a- taking a phone called from my grandma. You know how my grandma is if I ignore her calls." he chuckles lightly."Yeah, she will be pissed. Does your grandma still hates me?" I laughed "Why are you laughing?""No, I just can't forget about that day." Liam rolls his eyes "Ha ha laugh all you want."So in case you're wondering why Liam asked that, cause my grandma dislike him. Why? Well first, Liam told me he bumped in to a old lady at the sidewalk cause he was too engrossed playing his phone.He didn't know the old lady is my grandmother and second when my grandmother bumped in to my dad plates collection and one of the plates almost fell over
"You're up early." I turned around to see my dad walking inside the kitchen. "Good morning dad." my dad walked to the coffee machine to make himself a coffee."Morning sweetie." I took a bite of my toast and looked at my dad."Where's mom? She always wakes up early.""She still asleep. We have quite a lot of customer last night, so she's tired. You could give us a hand at the diner next time." my dad said and I shook my head quickly "No no, I helped enough last time.""It's not that bad, you're just getting used to it." I scoffed "It's bad dad, I accidentally tripped at my own foot and the order I was going to serve him, flew to that guy face and don't forget the looked he was giving me.""I gave him free charge and that man looks happy. So you could come back cause I need your help." I shoved the last toast to my mouth and drink my milk. Once I was finished, I stood up and placed my plate in the sink."Maybe some other time. I have to go da
After English, Carmen and I went straight to the cafeteria and quickly get in line so we don't have to wait 15 minutes to get our lunch. After we're done paying our food, we walked to our usual table where Julia already sitting there eating her lunch."Hey girl, how's class?" Carmen asked Julia and we both take a seat."Bad." Julia said with a scowled on her face."What's wrong?" Carmen asked."Andy kept bothering me at second period that I can't even understand what the teacher explaining.""You're upset cause you can't understand what was the teacher explaining?" Julia nodded and I shook my head while opening the sandwich wrappers."You sure you're not a nerd?" I said and Julia glares at me. "Hey! I just want to graduate with a good grades." Julia said defensively. "This is why she still single." Carmen said and Julia throw her cucumber at her.I took a bite of my chicken sandwich and moan in deliciousness. Good thing our cafeteria
I slam shut my locker and make my way out from the school. The day is finally over and I can't wait to go home."Woah, what's with the face?" Carmen came up and raised her eyebrow. "Nothing.""You're nothing sounds like something." I groan. "I'm annoyed at Tyler.""Why?" We walked out from the school entrance "Cause he beat me at P.E!" Carmen bursted out laughing and I turned to her frowning."Sorry." I rolled my eyes "So what did he do?""We were running laps and he tease me then he asked to have a race. I refused but he said that I'm scared which I'm not, so I agree with him and we have a race." Carmen raised her eyebrow "That doesn't sound so bad.""Yeah it doesn't and I ended up doing what he says." Tyler is such a jerk. Why did I even agree to that anyways? I am so stupid."You mean like an asisstant?" I shook my head "He didn't actually said that but he says he will be saving his prize for important cause, so I assume it will be
The smell of Bacon hit my nostrils and I instantly woke up. I immediately jump out of bed and went downstairs and found my dad cooking breakfast."Morning dad." my dad turned around while holding a pan and slid down the bacon to the plate. "Morning sweetie.""Shouldn't you be at the diner?" I took a sit at the bar stool and munch a piece of Bacon."I will be going after having breakfast." nodding my head, I stood up and grab a milk from the fridge and went back to my seat."So what are you doing today? Do you have any plans?" I scrunched my eyebrow "Um.. No," he clapped his hands "Great then you could help me out in the diner.""What? Why? I told you that I don't want to besides is Saturday.""Exactly, that's why I asked you to help me at the diner. Weekend are always pack." I groan."There's mom right? I have something to do." my dad cross his arms over his chest and raised his eyebrow "Like what?""Like, a..." Come on think,
On Sunday, I was home alone while my parents went to church. I usually go with them, then we will have family time afterward. But today, I'm not feeling it. it's not because I'm lazy, my body is aching due to yesterday. My legs and arms are sore from going back and forth and taking orders. So I decided to stay back home curl up in my bed.Sunday has passed, now is Monday again. I woke up early then getting ready for school. I head to the kitchen and usually, I find my dad cooking breakfast but today he's not present. He probably still sleeping cause I saw his key car on top of the counter.I made myself a cereal cause I'm too lazy to Cook. Pouring a big amount of cocoa puffs cause I'm hungry then pour the milk afterward.After I'm done with my breakfast, I grab my bag and head out to school. Plugging an earphone to my ear, I played 'she looks so perfect' by 5 seconds of summer. For me, this song is just perfect to start a day.After 10 minutes
"Hey, Val! Your shift is over." Trevor yelled from his office. "Just a minute more!" I yelled back without looking at him. I just need to tighten the gas cap and done.I dusted my hands and smile proudly at the cars I just finished repair. The first one is kinda difficult, I even asked Evan for help but it's finally fixed. The second one is quite simple and it only took me 30 minutes to fix it.Walking to the locker room, I got changed and shoved my jumpsuit to the locker. I jump out of the locker room yelling bye to everyone and make my way to the bus stop. After 30 minutes, I arrived at the bus stop near my house and walked for about 10 minutes."I'm home," I said and head to the kitchen and saw my mom taking the blueberry muffin out from the oven. "You're finally home." my mom turned around and smile at me. I spotted a brownie on the table that has been cut and attempt to grab it. But as usual, my mom smacks my hand away and glares at me."Wash your ha
The following day is the same as usual. But the difference is, I was trying to avoid Tyler. The keyword try. Sadly I can't avoid him cause we sat at the same table. Every time I looked at Tyler, I instantly remember that incident and it makes me flustered.For me, it was a bit awkward, again. Especially if we're left alone but for Tyler, it was nothing. He didn't feel awkward at all. He acts as nothing happened. How I wish I could act like him.The good thing is we're back as it was. No awkward tension.Liam told me why he has been missing lunch lately since he's the captain, his coach wanted this year's team to win especially if we're against our school rival."Valerie, you don't want to come?" My dad showed up in front of the garage. "No dad, I'm busy.""I thought after last week you would enjoy helping me." I looked up to see my dad."I do enjoy but I want to try and fix this old thing." I gesture towards the classic
