"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 dad, don't want to be late." grabbing my bag, I walked to my dad and kissed his cheeks "Bye dad, love you."
"Love you too sweetie. Be safe." I head out of the door and walked down to my driveway. As I was walking, I could feel the sunlight is shooting at my direction. I think today weather is going to be warm and my outfit for today is a navy blue crop top sweater with a black high waisted jeans and a pair of black converse. Hopefully I didn't chose the wrong top.
And he same time Tyler walked out from his house to his car. I kept walking, hoping he wouldn't see me.
"Hey there neighbor." okay, he saw me. I turned to looked at him and saw him leaning at his car, crossing his arms with a smirked on his face.
"Hello." I gave him a little wave.
"So you're not going to greet your neighbor?"
"No no, I was going to greet you but I didn't saw you walked out." he raised his eyebrow. "So you're going to school?" I change the subject but realized it was a stupid question. Who even asked a question like that? Oh yeah, me.
"No, I'm going to work at target." he said sarcastically while rolling his eyes. "Okay, see you at school." I was about to continue my walk but he stopped me.
"Wait?"
"What?"
"You're going to walk to school?" I nodded "Isn't it 30 minutes walk?" I shook my head "It's a 10 minutes walk. Don't you count it?"
"Why should I if I have my car." he gestured to the car next to him and my eyes landed on the white BMW 5 series. "Is that a BMW 530i M sport? With a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine that puts out 248 horsepower?" I asked and walked to his driveway.
I turned to looked at Tyler but he looked at me with amusement in his eyes. "You know about car?" I looked away a bit embarrass. I sound a little too excited, aren't I? He's probably going to laugh at me and say girl shouldn't have know about car.
"Well a little." I looked at him and for the first time he is smiling at me. Wow, I must say his smile it's charming and I bet every girl could fall for that smile.
"Val?" Blinking my eyes and shake that thoughts out of my head.
"Yeah?"
"I was just offering you a ride to school,"
Blinking my eyes a couple of times, I looked away and tuck a strands of my hair in the back of my ear. "Um... Its okay, I'm just going to walk."
"You sure?" And now he's smirking "Yeah, why?"
"School start in like 7 minutes." my eyes widen, I don't have time to walk but if I run I still couldn't make it and the only option is taking Tyler offer. I slightly groan. "If only you didn't make a conversation with me I would probably arrive at school."
"And I'm being nice offering you a ride to school, but if you don't want to it's okay. Just be ready to face," He lean forwards and whispers to my ear. "Detention."
I chew my lower lip nervously, it's a habit since I was a little. "Fine, you leave me no choice. let's go."
"Hop in." I walked to the passenger seat and got in. The interior design of the car its elegant and the leather seat its soft. Tyler turn the engine on and backs away from the driveway.
"So this is your ride?" I asked Tyler.
"No, it was my mom but she doesn't really like using this, she said it's too fancy. So we exchange our car."
"Too bad, that ford fiesta was cute." he chuckles "Yeah, it was." Tyler speed up a little so we can arrived before the bell ring. Due to Tyler driving skill we arrived in the school 2 minutes before the bell ring. We both jump out of the car and walked to the entrance.
I turned to him "Thanks for giving me a ride." Tyler shrugged and turned to me "Just being a good neighbor." I stopped and cross my arms over my chest "Can you please stop with the neighbor joke." he kept walking but glance at me and I could see he's smirking.
I catch up to him "I think this is where we part our ways."
"You sound like we won't be seeing each other again." I rolled my eyes "Yeah, whatever. See you at lunch or maybe not." walking to the school entrance I stopped mid ways and faced him again "You have a good driving skill by the way." shooting him a smile, I continue walking to my first class.
Geographic, I hope Mr. Clinton could make geographic more entertaining and less boring.
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
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
