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
Tyler WilliamsDid I almost kiss her? It would be stupid of me if I did. But she looks nice though. The black dress and her natural face. It's a fresh sight to see. When I was in California, most girls in my school always wears a lot of makeup. They never go out to show their natural face. I think they are embarrassed at their own face.I sat next to my mom and Valerie sat next to her mom so we're facing each other. We start pilling our plate with the food on the table."The food is very delicious Mrs. Williams," Valerie said. I agree with her the food is delicious as usual."Thank you dear and please call me Miranda. I feel old if you call me Mrs. Williams.""Okay, Mrs. Wi- I mean Miranda," Valerie said shyly.She looks cute.Wait, what? Cute? I never said cute to a girl before except my cousin. The first time I said cute to her was a week ago when I saw her in a bra. Thinking about that, it makes me wanna laug
Valerie Hernandez"What are we going to do next?" My dad asked me."Let's go to our all-time favorite restaurant," I suggest and both of my parents chuckled seeing me so excited.On our way walking out from the church, we met Mrs. Williams and to my surprise, Tyler is there too. "Miranda is good to see you," my mom greet her then went to hug her. Didn’t they just see each other yesterday? I don’t understand my mom sometimes."Honey, this is Miranda that I told you about, our new neighbor.""Hello is nice to finally meet you, my wife can't stop talking about you." they continue to talk and it left me and Tyler out."I never thought you'll be the type of person who goes to church on Sunday morning. No offense."He shrugs "I'm not but my mom drags me here. So I have no choice."We stand in silence for a minute but then Tyler suggests something."We shoul
Valerie HernandezSunday's over and is Monday again. I got up and prepare myself to go to school. After taking a shower, choosing clothes, brush my hair, and wear a little makeup, I head downstairs to eat breakfast."Good morn- what is he doing here?!" All three heads snapped to look at me. "Shush Valerie be nice. Tyler just having breakfast with us." my mom scolded me and I pouted."Here's your breakfast dear." my dad hands me my breakfast and I took a seat at the barstool. I glance up at Tyler and found him smirking.Can he please stop smirking for a day?My mom hands me a glass of milk and I drink it feeling thirsty. "This is the delicious Mr. Hernandez." Tyler complements my dad's cook. "Thank you and please call me Jose." I suddenly choked on my drink. And three heads snapped in my direction again."Valerie! You okay dear?" My mom came beside me and patted my back. "I'm okay.""Be careful next time." I nodded and
Valerie HernandezMy eyes widening in surprise. "What are you doing here?""I was looking for you." he looks back and forth at me and Tyler as if wondering why Tyler and I are in the hallways instead at the cafeteria."Why are you guys doing here?""Um... We... Were just talking." Liam raised his brow. Did he see Tyler and I walked out from the janitor's closet? I hope not. "Oh about what?""We have classes together" I reply. Liam looks at us suspiciously at first then nodded. "Oh ok. Come on then, you guys haven't had lunch.""I think I'll pass, the class will start in 6 minutes and I won't have time to change." Liam pouted. "You know I've been dreading for lunchtime since I rarely see you." I rolled my eyes. "Well, you're too busy with your stuff," I said and cross my arms over my chest."Oh come on babe, don't be mad. You know the team will have the playoffs in 3 weeks. So we have to b
Valerie Hernandez"We're here," Tyler said. We jumped out of the car and to my surprise we are at my dad's diner. I turned to him, raising my eyebrow. "LA parilla? Seriously? This your definition of fun?" He shrugs. "It's a great place and everyone loves food right?" Can't argue with that. "By the way you work here right?"I bit my lip to suppress the smile that was making its way to my face. Little did he know that my dad is the one who owns the diner. I nod my head, we walked in and make our way to the booth."So, what are you going to order?" I asked."I don't know, the last time I'm here, you only gave me your milkshake. Which by the way tasted so delicious.""I know," I replied cockily. Tyler rolls his eyes.A girl went to our table and about to take our order but once her gaze landed on Tyler, she quickly fixes her hair while Tyler's not looking and open the three-button of her shirt showing her boobs."He
Valerie Hernandez "What are you doing here Valerie?" "Um... Hey dad." I wave shyly to him. "Shouldn't you be at school?" "I- uh" I glanced at the clock behind him. "A...a... School has ended." I didn't lie though, school just end 10 minutes ago. Dad crosses his arms over his chest, raising his brows. "Oh really? I thought it needs 25 minutes to arrive here." I laugh awkwardly "It does but the teacher has been nice to us so they decided to let us out early." My dad narrowed his eyes looking suspiciously at me. I didn't blame him though cause my excuse was pretty unconvincing. My dad still giving me that look. The one that says don't-you-dare-lie-to-me look. "Okay fine you got me."
