Chapter I

-Amalia you're going to be late for school! Hurry up!
-I'm coming!
Yes, that's my mom. Today is the first day of school after the pandemic. I am so excited to see everyone. I got my bag and went downstairs.
-Bye mom!
-But your breakfast? Ah she's already gone.
It's already 7:25 am and I had to meet Ava 10 minutes ago. We're not really close but since we are neighbors we are going together at school. I arrived in front of her house but she wasn't there so I called her.
-Ava where are you? We're gonna be late for school?
-I'm almost done... Let me tie my shoes.
Then she hangs up. I'd rather sleep in a room full of snakes than be late to chemistry. I look at my phone and check my Instagram. Again so many beautiful girls... As I look back at Ava's house I see that she's coming so I put my phone back in my pocket.
-Finally you're here!
-Oh come one it's only 7:31 am we can make it.
-Try to tell that to Mrs. Johnson too.
-Don't be dramatic!
For 10 minutes we only talked about school and homework but the she asked:
-Don't you think that this new girl is trying too hard to find friends?

She was talking about Madison, the new girl in our class. At first I didn't realize that Ava would care about her but since Madison just joined our class and she's already friend with Noah, well that must be upsetting.

Noah Miller. The boy any girl wants. But honestly I have no idea what they like at him. He's a future playboy and he plays with every girl's feeling. Honestly I just can't stand him. Everyone thinks that he's so cool but if dressing like a thug means cool then he is the coolest person I have ever met.

And about Ava she's friends with all the boys in my class, especially Noah. And now Madison is trying to take her "shine" by being friends with him. To be replaced can be painful but Ava doesn't realize that it's not only Madison's choice.

-Hello! Who am I talking to?

-Well I think it's hard for her to make new friends in a new town...

-Yes that's true but didn't you see how bad she wants Noah?

I didn't want to talk about this because Ava did the same and now she's criticizing other people for the same thing so I changed the subject since we almost arrived at our school.

As always Ava says "hi" to all the boys in our class then gets back to her seat. It was impossible to ignore Madison since she was standing right behind me but thank God the class started.

I don't know about other people but in my case if I don't like the teacher I don't like the subject too. And Mrs. Johnson is too serious during her classes. I've seen her smile only 3 times.

-Amalia why don't you come and solve this exercise? Maybe you'll pay more attention.

I didn't even know what she said for 10 minutes but the exercise was from the last lesson. That's it the luck for this year is gone. I don't know how people win the lottery but I think God took my luck and gave others a second round because I am never lucky.

-That's correct! You can go back to your seat where I expect you to pay attention!

That was my plan too but then I realized that I forgot about my math's homework and it was no way to finish it because it was our next class. I thought for 15 minutes about what can I do and nothing. Mr. Smith is going to kill me. We were already in the break but I didn't realize until I heard someone.

-Hey! Amalia right?

I looked up and saw Madison

- Yes that's me can I help you?

-Can you come with me to the medical office? I have no idea where it is.

That's it we are probably going to spend a half an hour there, enough for Mr. Smith to forget about the homework.

-Sure! Let's go!

We take our jackets and leave the classroom. The medical office is in the other building of my school so we had to walk like 5 minutes to get there. When we were already outside the school she said:

-You didn't do the homework right?

-How did you know?

-Because you were starring at your notebook's blank pages. And I didn't do it too by the way.

-Well at least you thought about a way to escape.

We both laughed and then we went to the medical office. This is how everything started and honestly sometimes I wish I said "no" but I realized too late.
