She opened her locker and arranged her books.
“You know you should really consider my suggestions, they’re really great!” Haley said to her while eating an apple she bought a while ago.
They are planning the School’s Foundation event that will be held in the middle of the school year.
"Yeah, because a bunny costume is really trendy nowadays.” Fallon responded sarcastically while raising an eyebrow.
Haley made a mocking face and rolled her eyes.
“You bicker all the time.” She handed over Haley’s notebook that she borrowed and continued fixing her locker. “Besides, I won’t allow silly suggestions you guys are giving me.” She teased her friends.
“You’re really a stick in the mud.” Fallon said to her.
Brianna just looked at Fallon and smiled.
“A pleasant day Ms Vega.” She turned her head to the person speaking.
“Oh, Hi Ms. Montez how can I help you?” It’s early in the morning, did someone make trouble again? She said in her mind.
“As our School Student President, I would like to ask you a favour to tour our transferee this day.” the teacher said to her.
Brianna smiled at her but groaned in her mind.
“Sure Ms. Montez, I’ll take care of it.” The teacher lent her the student’s document and soon left.
“He’s cute! Fallon look at this.” Haley took the papers and gave it to Fallon.
Fallon then nodded and put her thumbs up. Brianna just smiled at how silly her friends are. She closed her locker and fixed her bag. While letting out a sigh, she leaned on her locker.
“You seem tired.” Fallon asked her and Brianna nodded while pouting.
She was kept awake by her mom last night to discuss her plans. “Did aunt stress you out last night?” Fallon and Haley laughed at the thought of Brianna and her mom talking.
Brianna doesn’t really care about the plans of her mom but she has no choice but to listen in everything her mom planned.
“Hey baby! You went off earlier than me today.” She stopped Brian who tried to hug her. “You don’t like to hug me?” Brian asked teasingly.
“I like to hug you.” Haley said and hugged Brian tightly.
“Get a room.” Fallon said and leaned on the locker beside Brianna.
“So what’s the big plan mom discussed to you last night?” Brian asked Brianna and put his arm around Haley’s shoulder then took her apple.
He can tell last night that their mom has something to discuss so he made an excuse to escape.
“Well,” they all put their attention to her as she starts the story. "We’re going to celebrate our 18th birthday this weekend.” Which I don’t really care about.
“It’s a bit earlier than our birth date but mom said she wanted to celebrate this weekend since they're going to cancel their plans.” She stopped talking.
They waited for her to continue but it seems that she didn’t want to continue it. They looked at each other and Brian signed that he would ask Brianna.
“That’s it?” Her brother asked. Brianna sighed again.
“Alright I’ll continue it.” Brianna said and stood properly.
“Glad you will” Fallon said sarcastically while she clapped and gave out a fake big smile.
“Mom and dad decided to invite the company’s business partners and also said that we should be the ones who’ll welcome them in the house.” Brian hated that idea while Fallon and Haley giggled.
They know that the twins don’t really like those kinds of things. Brian just likes to enjoy parties but not greeting some business partner because he’s not used in being formal in front of people.
On the other hand, Brianna is a stick-in-the-mud and stubborn but she does everything you’ll ask her to do, if she is close to you.
“Mom also asked me to tell you to be polite and avoid behaving oddly in the party. It’s also for my sake, my reputation is being ruined by you my dear brother.” She said to Brian.
Her identical twin brother causes a lot of troubles inside and out of the school then some students report to her since she is the President and the identical twin of the playboy Brian Alexander Gomez Vega.
“I’ll behave when I want to, my little sister.” He went to Brianna and tapped her head twice.
Am I a dog to this monkey? Oh wait we have the same face, but whatever he’s really a monkey. Brianna thought.
“I’m going to class now.” Brian said and walked away from the three girls.
Haley pulled the girls and went to Brian. “Wait for us!”
They went to their classroom and sat. They waited for the bell to ring and while waiting, Brian decided to sleep while Haley, his seatmate, took a picture of him. Brianna and Fallon are just seating in front of the two.
Fallon yawned and turned her head towards Brianna who was looking at the document Ms. Montez gave her. “Your new crush?” She said referring to the new student.
Brianna looked at her, realizing that she was talking to her. “You’re being ridiculous.” She returned her focus on the document.
There was something bothering her upon seeing the student’s profile but she just shrugged the thought off when the bell rang.
--------------------
“Students, may I know who are the assigned cleaners yesterday?” their homeroom teacher asked them.
Brianna didn’t even look around to see the hands of those people.
“The chairs were not properly aligned this morning and the window panes were not cleaned thoroughly. You guys know that even if we have helpers in cleaning the school, you still need to clean and learn how to be responsible.” The teacher said to those people.
~Minutes later~
Brianna tilted her head as their homeroom teacher was discussing their topic. She was bored then she looked at her left where Fallon is covering her mouth because of yawning.
“What time is it?” she asked Fallon.
Fallon looked at her watch. “8:44 o’clock”. Fallon said and yawned again.
Brianna groaned in her mind. Physics is boring for her since she thinks it is easy. This is killing me, how I wish I was sick today.
The teacher stopped discussing when the speaker turned on and the principal spoke. The class put their attention and listened to the announcement.
“Good morning our dear students, it is my pleasure to tell you that next month, we’ll be celebrating our School’s Foundation. This also implies that starting today, you can write your suggestions in a paper and pass it to the student’s organization members or in their office. Windsmith Academy is happy to tell you that the event was decided to be celebrated for a month. That’s all for this announcement, have a very wonderful day!” the bell made an exit sound. The students clapped and were excited for the news.
“Ms. Vega I wish you all the best in planning the event out.” Their homeroon teacher told Brianna.
“Thank you Ma’am.” she responded.
---------------
The three of them went to the Student’s Organization Office. They sat on their own desks. Haley and Fallon turned their computers on.
“Okay, what’s the plan?” Haley started the conversation, she is the School Secretary and has the responsibility to write the information needed for the annual event.
Fallon leaned on her seat heavily, “I don’t know, we still have a month and I can’t come up with any ideas yet.” She turned off her computer and used her phone. “How ‘bout you Bree?” she looked at Brianna who was trying to sleep on her desk.
She poked Brianna. Brianna sat properly and yawned. “We have a lot of time.” She stretched out her arms above her head. “And besides, we have 2 hours vacant.” She said and took a short nap.
They have an air conditioned office where the officers have their own desks. They also have pillows and extra coats.
Fallon pouted and also took a nap. Haley grabbed a cup of water when someone knocked on the door.
“Who locked this one.” She talked to herself, unlocked the door and opened it. “Oh it’s you! Good morning!” She greeted Oscar, their School Treasurer.
Oscar smiled at Haley and went into the office.
“Brianna and Fallon must have been up all night.” He took his coat off and hung it on the rack then changed into his slippers.
Haley just giggled and went to her desk.
“Some students are passing their suggestions.” He gave Haley the papers since Brianna is sleeping.
“Okay let’s see.” Haley put her cup down and read the papers. Her eyes widened, “Hey this sounds fun!” she had Oscar read the suggestion a student wrote. Oscar nodded and told her it can be an option.
~ The bell rang ~
“See you tomorrow class, enjoy your lunch and please no running in the hallway.” Their teacher bid them goodbye.
They greeted back and some students went to the cafeteria to have lunch.
Brianna covered her mouth as she yawned.
“Wanna have lunch on the Rooftop Café?.” Fallon asked her playfully.
Brianna smiled and Haley giggled.
They went to the rooftop where they always hang out. They love it there because of the fresh air and the beautiful view from the top of their school building.
“Here is your lasagna, hot chocolate, and a slice of blueberry cheesecake.” The cashier said to her.
Brianna handed her E-card to the cashier and smiled.
E-card is a card where they can load it and which all of the students of Windsmith Academy use to pay inside of their school.
“Thank you.” She said and went straight to their table.
“Hey, can you pass me the salt?” Haley asked Fallon, who is eating in front of her.
“Oh, I wish I could but I don’t really want to.” Fallon said and took a bite of the garlic bread.
“What a grunch.” Haley stood up and took the salt herself.
Fallon laughed at Haley and her gaze went to Brianna. Brianna is at daze and blankly staring at her food.
“Are you okay?" Brianna looked at Fallon and said she’s okay. “Well, if you’re really okay, let me ask you one thing.”
Brianna took her handkerchief and put on her lap, “I’m listening.”
“How are you going to eat without utensils?” Haley laughed at Fallon's question while Brianna really forgot to take her utensils.
“Oh, shoot.” Brianna went back to the counter while her two friends were laughing at the table.
“I really love how they managed to turn this rooftop into a cafeteria.” Haley said after Brianna sat beside her.
They were the ones who suggested turning the rooftop into a cafeteria so that it won’t be useless. Now they have 8 different cafeterias inside the Academy.
“I know, right?” Fallon wiped her mouth and continued eating. “An open cafeteria where you can have fresh air.” She waved her hand to represent the air.
“When are you going to meet the transferee?” they asked Brianna.
“I was supposed to meet him a while ago, but the Principal told me that he was still not there and said they will contact me later.” Brianna replied and took a sip of the chocolate beverage.
“I saw his profile and he’s cute, ask him if he has a girlfriend.” Haley said and teased Brianna.
After they were done having their lunch, they went to the Student’s Organization Office where Brian and Oscar were eating.
------------------------
“Can I have this?” Brian asked while holding Brianna’s tangerine.
They finished their second subject of the afternoon classes and started preparing for their next subject which is Physical Education.
Brianna looked at her twin brother and nodded. “Yeah take it, I won’t eat that because you already touched it.” She said bitterly.
“We know you can’t say no to us.” Fallon interrupted after getting her towel and putting it in her bag. She looked at Haley who was still picking what swimsuit to wear. “Haley how long are you going to pick?” She went to Haley to help her.
They are in the Student’s Organization Office. They put their other things there since the office is wide and has cabinets.
“Bry, how is the recruiting going?” Brianna asked Brian, as she fixed her bag and zippered it up. She looked at Brian who was seated at his desk.
“You don’t need to ask that because with this face, many students will surely be swayed by this.” He said while pointing at his face.
Brian is the Club Recruiting Officer, who organizes the clubs in the school and asks the student to join clubs. Brianna originally asked him to be the Club Recruiting Officer because with his good looks, he can easily ask the students who don’t want to join any club.
“Let’s get going or else we’ll be late.” Fallon said.
They headed to their classroom and waited for the teacher-in-charge. They soon went to the West Gymnasium where they have a variety of indoor swimming pools to choose and where they will have their Swimming lesson in Physical Education.
“Miss Vega can I talk to you for a minute?” Brianna walked towards the teacher.
“How can I help you Ms. Rodrigo?” She asked.
“Please take note of those who are taking the swimming lesson well. I have a sudden meeting with a parent and I will leave you to be in-charge.” Ms. Rodrigo calmly said to Brianna.
“Yes, Ms. Rodrigo. Take care.” Brianna smiled at the teacher.
Brianna checked their class attendance together with Fallon. “Where are Jim and Brian?” Brianna asked them.
“They took some of the safety equipment in the cabinet.” Her classmate replied.
“Thanks Melissa.” Brianna said. She closed the attendance sheet and set it aside.
“Okay guys let’s gather around now. We just have to wait for Brian and Jim with the safety equipment.” They lined up in front of Brianna and Fallon.
“Those who can’t swim, you can choose between grading other people or to join the lesson. Please line up here for those who want to just grade and evaluate.” Brianna said as she pointed at her left.
Only a few students lined up.
Brian and Jim came with the safety equipment from the cabinet.
“Those who can’t swim but want to join.” Brianna took one of the life jackets from the basket beside her. “As usual, get your own life jackets and ask for assistance if you need.” She continued and gave the life jacket to her classmate.
“The goal today is to learn the Butterfly Swimming Stroke. Those who already know how to do this, please guide the others. That’s all, let’s get started.” Brianna led her classmates and instructed them.
Some of the students guided and demonstrated how the swimming stroke should be done. Brianna on the other hand is busy looking after the rest of the class.
“Pearl, you need to push yourself up with the use of your palms and move your arms like a butterfly, not flap like a bird.” Brianna also demonstrated and helped her on how to do the movement of the arms.
She saw two of her classmates fighting in the corner of the swimming pool. She sighed out of annoyance and went to them.
“Dude it was an accident, watch your temper.” Dexter explained to Steve.
“What’s going on here?” Brianna asked with anger in her tone.
“Dexter slapped me in the face.” Steve angrily responded to Brianna.
“Slapped you? I said it was an accident.” Dexter shouted. “I didn’t know you were there.”
“Are you both babies?” Brianna put on a straight face. “Do you want me to give you knives for you to kill each other? Color pink for you girlies?” Brianna asked and they stopped talking.
They are scared of her whenever she gives off her temper and scary face.
“No, we’re fine.” Said the two.
“Go get the cleaning equipment and clean pool number 1 as a punishment.” Brianna commanded and they left while poking each other.
“It’s your fault.” Steve said to Dexter and poked him.
“No this is your fault.” Dexter argued again.
“Stop that now.” Brianna shouted at them and the poor boys ran towards the cleaning equipment.
Brianna took note of those students who were participating and she graded them with the assistance of Haley and Fallon.
------------------------
After their Swimming lesson, they were dismissed when Ms. Rodrigo came back from the meeting. The students went in the shower rooms.
They have separate shower rooms for the ladies and the gentlemen. Brianna suggested that they shower last in order to avoid crowding the shower room.
“Good thing the shower rooms are on the first floor, we don’t have to go up after that long walk from the Gymnasium.” Haley took her towel inside her bag. She saw Brianna taking her towel out of her bag too and noticed that she brought her favourite face towel. “Wow, Bree.” She tilted her head and covered her mouth from laughing. “This is the first time you brought your favourite face towel.”
Fallon looked at them and also noticed the face towel. “Yeah, that’s really odd. Was there a problem in your brain?” She teased Brianna.
Brianna smiled at her friends. “Don’t get me started.” She cunningly said.
The face towel she brought was actually a gift from her grandmother back when she was 8 years old. It was a gift made in Italy and she loves it very much, especially, the color is lavender which is her favourite.
They went in each of the cubicles and Brianna left the face towel on the bench.
Brianna went in one of the cubicles and hung her towel at the door then started showering.
------------------------------
~ On the grounds of Windsmith Academy ~
“Wow this school is bigger than my old school.” Carlisle pouted while figuring what to do since he got lost in the new school.
“First day here and I’m lost.” He looked around and saw no one. “Where should I go?” He looked around again and saw an open window. His smile appeared and peeped in the certain room.“This looks like a shower room.”
He evaluated the room and noticed that there was a bag on the side of the room. “There are people in here. The color of the tiles is white, and the color of the door is blue.” He nodded while talking crazily to himself.
“Obviously, this must be a shower room for the gentlemen.” He climbed through the window and safely went down.
He was sweating a lot from the running he did before he got lost. He looked for towels but there was nothing inside the cabinets. He saw a towel on top of the bench.
“Coloured lavender face towel for the gentlemen?” He took the face towel.
“Wow this is so soft. Whoever owns this, I am just going to borrow it.” He smiled and wiped his face with the towel. “This smells like lavender too, that’s a little strange for a boy, but who am I to judge.”
He saw letters that were sewn in the towel. “V.A.?” He talked to himself again.
He shrugged his shoulders off and put the towel at his back, inside his shirt to wipe his sweat off.
He heard a door being opened and he was ready to greet the gentleman. His eyes widened and to his surprise, it was a girl who came out of the door.
It was Brianna, with just a buttoned towel covering her whole body. Brianna panicked when she saw a man inside the ladies’ shower room. She quickly grabbed the soap and some slippers and threw them at Carlisle.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE! YOU SICK PERVERT!” Brianna yelled.
She was about to call Haley and Fallon’s names but she remembered that they just left a while ago after showering.
Carlisle ran to the shower room’s door and tried to open it. How do you open this damn thing?. He said in his thoughts. He looked at Brianna who is very angry and about to slap him.
“Woah!” He stopped Brianna from slapping him and tried to give an explanation. “Okay for my defense I thought that this shower room was for the gentlemen so I climbed through the window and I even saw that the door was color blue!” He talked fast and breathed heavily.
Brianna was more shocked from what she heard. “YOU CLIMBED THROUGH THE WINDOW?! YOU REALLY ARE A LUNATIC!”
Brianna hit Carlisle many times while Carlisle put his arms in front of his face as a defense. Carlisle then grabbed Brianna’s arms and pinned her against the door.
“You are a feisty, little woman.” Carlisle narrowed his eyes and smirked.
He shortly stared at Brianna’s face and was amazed at her beauty. She’s turning red, and that makes her face cuter. He thought.
Brianna twisted her arm causing Carlisle’s arm to twist too. She pinned Carlisle against the door but Carlisle was quick to spin her.
They slipped and they both fell on the floor. Carlisle is now on top of Brianna and his hand was on Brianna's head to protect it.
They froze in a moment as they stared at each other’s eyes.
Realizing their awkward position, Carlisle quickly stood up and awkwardly rubbed the back of his head, while Brianna got even angrier.
“Look, I’m really sorry.” Carlisle said and clasped his hands. “Besides, I didn’t even see anything.” He continued.
Brianna was speechless at his absurd comment. She sighed heavily and was about to yell at Carlisle when she noticed that Carlisle stared at her boobs. He quickly faced the other direction when Brianna looked at him, pretending nothing happened.
“WHAT A PERVERT!” Brianna once again slapped Carlisle in the face and Carlisle didn’t have the chance to defend himself.
Brianna quickly took a bath robe from the wall in the corner of the shower room and grabbed her bag quickly out of the room.
“YOU WERE WEARING A TOWEL, I DIDN’T SEE ANYTHING!” Carlisle yelled from the shower room door. “My face hurts.” He pouted and held his face. Ouch!. He looked at his arm and sighed.
--------------
The students looked at Brianna, who was angrily marching her way to the Student’s Organization Office. She was only wearing a bathrobe and has bathroom slippers on. Brianna's hair is also soaking wet, causing the floor be wet.
She angrily knocked on the door and was greeted by Fallon. “Did a storm come inside the school?” She asked Brianna.
Brianna grunted and walked past Fallon then went inside.
“Wow your face is really red right now, what happened to you?” Haley asked her.
She didn’t say anything and hurriedly went to the bathroom and changed into her uniform.
“It’s a good thing we’ve been friends with her since we were toddlers.” Fallon said and sat on Haley’s table.
Haley looked at the bathroom door and sighed.
“I got used to her temper and moodiness.” Fallon and Haley laughed. “I suddenly miss the time where she was not like this.” Haley giggled at Fallon's silliness.
“What do you think happened to her?” Haley curiously asked Fallon, who is drinking coffee. “Did she walk from the shower room up to here, just wearing a bathrobe?” Haley continued.
Fallon looked at Brianna who just came out of the bathroom. “Hey what happened?” she asked her.
Brianna looked at her furiously. “I don’t want to talk about it.” Haley and Fallon looked at each other, communicating with their eyes.
They knew something big happened and giggled with the thought of it.
“Okay, we’ll just have to pop it out of you later.” Fallon said. “Besides, we have access to the CCTV footage, we can just watch it, you know.” Fallon threatened Brianna. "We'll enjoy the drama." She sarcastically said.
Brianna doesn’t like that idea so she quickly told them the truth.
“Okay, okay!” She stopped Fallon from talking. She sighed and looked at the two. “After you guys left me in the shower room alone, a man suddenly went inside.”
“Oh, I like where this story is going.” Haley said and excitedly listened in her seat.
