“Oh Eion, thank you for taking care of my daughter. Come by to our house next time, Nathan has been looking for you, right Nate-nate?”   “Yes, Eionyy! Let’s play again next time!” Exclaimed Nathan.    Everyone was silent, and I could feel Emma’s hands on my arms, wanting to tease me now.  “Oooh, you already came to Snow’s house?” Leroy asked his friend, his eyebrows raising playfully. Eion just shrugged, “Yes.”    He then turned to my mom, “Anyways, it’s great to finally meet you, Ms. Waterstrings.” Leroy spoke up, strangely polite now, and introduced himself. “I’m Leroy by the way.”    “Yes, thank you, Ms. Waterstrings, I’m Dax.” This time, it was D

Judging from the bored look of my classmates, I could tell this period will be very exciting. Note the sarcasm.  Just like every transferee does, she called me to introduce myself and I stood up nervously as this is what made me very anxious the entire time.    I glanced at Emma, who was motioning me forward, encouraging me. I stood on the platform that was placed in front so that the teacher could see us all when she stood there. Mrs. Thompson fragilely nodded her head and took a deep breath.   "Hi, I am Leizel Snow Waterstrings...16..and I uh…we just moved here in Springfield last month." I started. After saying things about me, Mrs. Thompson motioned for me to sit and started telling the Dos and don'ts and regulations of the school. I listened intently, I even took out my no

Upon hearing this, my classmates did not make an effort to hide their protests and disappointed grumble. I didn't hide the frown on my face, clearly not liking the idea. From my previous school until now, I don't really like the moment the teacher chooses our partner. I consider these moments to be unlucky because I always end up with a person I don't really get along with.   "Complain or fail." She yelled through the motion and everyone got quiet. "Good." Smiling, she took out a piece of paper from her envelope.   In front of me, a girl with blonde hair raised her hand. "Um, Mrs. Johnson, can we please choose our own partners?" The class agreed to her, not backing down.   Mrs. Johnson smiled in return, but I did not fail to notice the evil smile she sent to the girl before

“Well, to my house?” I announced I was unsure if it's okay with him.    I am stupid. I know. I really am. Besides, it’s not like it’s a big deal right? I only decided to bring Eion to my house because we didn't have a choice. Plus, he had been there a few times already.    Well, during that time it was him himself who came there, and this time, it was me who willingly brought him. It’s just awkward on my part...   And that's the reason why I was here, sitting awkwardly in the front seat of his car while Eion was driving.    I was staring at the window for the whole ride, focusing on it like it was the most interesting thing in the world. The scent of something dark and masculine was lingering in the a

I look at the two in shock who were playing like in a battle. Gosh, they really get along really well. Well, at least Nathan's water gun had no water in it because it would be hard to clean up after.    They continued firing while I stood up and watched them from a corner where I won't be hurt by the 'monster'. Finally, the sound of guns they made stopped.   "Okay, you win, kid." Eion raised his hand, surrendering.   My brother jumped in joy. "Did you see it Snowwy? We won!" He exclaimed to me. Eion turned his attention to me as if he didn't notice me this whole time. He stared at me blankly and I stared back, hiding the smile on my face.    When I couldn't take it anymore, I giggled. A slight tinge of pin
