I spoke too soon.
This boy is rude. All he do is playing his phone while my mom and her mom are having a interesting conversation from a celebrity to how to make a delicious muffin. Don't ask me how their conversation could drift that far.
"Val, I'm going to teach Miranda to make a muffin. Feel free to get to know each other." mom smiled sweetly to me and walked to the kitchen before I have the chance to respond. I looked at her back in disbelief.
What? Is my mom for real?
I took a glanced at the new neighbor (that I forgot his name) and saw he's still engrossed playing his phone. Now I regret leaving my phone at home. I looked around trying to find something to waste time but it's not working.
I cleared my throat to catch his attention, he glances at me and got back to his phone "So... Where are you from?"
Silence.
"Do you like the neighborhood?"
Silence again.
"I take you're not much of a talker." I chuckled awkwardly. "Do you mind showing me the bathroom?" And again silence, mom told us to get to know each other while he just sitting there and ignoring me. He's seriously getting on my nerves.
I cleared my throat. "Do you like the house?"
And once again silence.
What’s wrong with this boy? Did he glue his mouth or something that makes him can’t talk? or is he deaf? That’s why he can’t hear me?
"Look, I know that you don't want to be here but at least try to respond to someone who is talking to you." I said annoyed by his attitude. I stood up and head to the door. "You don't want to make your mother angry by leaving the new neighbors alone, do you?" I stop in my track and turned around only to find he's smirking.
I fly my hands up dramatically. "He talks!" I exclaimed. He rolls his eyes. "For the record, I rather face my mother wrath compare being here, beside I feel like my presence isn't needed here, cause I see you already have something that keep you company." I pointed to his phone and walked back to the door.
"Nice meeting you, new neighbors." I force a smiled at him and walked out from his house.
Such annoying person he is! I hope I won't see him again. And hopefully he won't go to my school.

Humming to myself as I reached my locker, I took my book out that I need for first period.
"What song are you humming?" Julia appears at my side "Try hard" she shakes her head and smile "5 sos?"
"Yup" I said popping the 'p'. "I just can't get enough of them especially calum hood. He is so handsome" I looked up dreamily and Julia waved her hand in front of my face "hey you have Liam, speaking of Liam where is he?" Julia looks around then looked back at me.
"He said coach wanted to talk to him." I shrugged and closed my locker.
"Or maybe he doesn't want to see you." I turned around to find a smirking Bianca with her little minions.
"What do you want Bianca?"
Today she was wearing a white tube top with a pink checkered crop blazer and a match tight skirt that was too short, and a high socks that went below her knees and a pink strap heels. Same goes to her two friend all pink. So ironic considering today is Wednesday, as the mean girls quote 'On wednesday we wear pink'.
"You know what I want" she sneers "Oh do I?" I said pretending to be confused "Julia, do you know what she wants?" She shakes her head "Nope, not a clue."
She glares at us then smirked "I feel bad for Liam to have a stupid girl to be his girlfriend, he's better off with me don't you think?"
"Who the hell you think you can called me stupid!, if someone should be called stupid is you!" by now we've starting to attract a crowd.
"Me stupid! Who do you think you are?!" she steps forward and so do I, we both glaring at each other and ready to attack any minute.
"Okay, that's enough." Carmen came in the middle of the scene and stop us for having a fight.
"We're not over yet Hernandez." she glares at me hard "I think we are, boyfriend stealer!" I yelled at her. She stomped her heels and walked away with her minions trailing behind her.
I turned to my two best friend who already looking at me "What?"
"Boyfriend stealer? Really?" Julia cross her arms over her chest "What's wrong with that? She really is a boyfriend stealer. Remember last year?"
"She took your phone while you were changing and text Liam that you wanted to break up with him?" I shook my head "No, before that," she thinks for awhile and snap her finger.
"Oh... That." I nodded.
So last year, after 5 months being Liam Girlfriend, bianca and her little helper decided to give me a warning. By exchange my perfume with a stink fart spray. I know the prank is harmless but it was embarrassing. It happened after physic, I was in a hurry so I took the perfume out from my bag and just spray it all over my clothes.
And yeah, all the students and even the teacher avoided me. For one week, they teased and mock me about using a fart spray as a perfume. She thinks by swapping my perfume, Liam will feel ashamed having a stinky girlfriend like me and eventually break up with me.
"I'm still wondering how can you not smell the spray on your clothes?" Carmen asked, I shrugged "I thought it wasn't me." Carmen shakes her head.
"I gotta go, class starting in 3 minutes. See you at lunch." I waved them goodbye and walked to homeroom.
I just hope Mr. Clinton won't give us a Q&A like yesterday.
"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 talk
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
