CHAPTER 1 The first time we meet.

        I was awakened by the sound of my  personal alarm, which was  my friend Lucy ( friend of 7 years). She always wakes up much earlier than me because I move like a slow turtle meaning no matter how early I wake up I still finish last, me finishing first was a rare occasion.

      Lucy and I have different personalities she's outgoing and we'll me I'm not really the cheerleader type ( if you get what I'm saying)  anyways Despite not being happy about my laziness she's still my best friend. Moving on we live in a dorm room near our school. After 10 to 15 minutes of forcefully waking me up, I finally woke (barely)  up. She went downstairs to prepare breakfast. When I was about to stand up I suddenly thought to myself"Just a few more seconds, I'll just sleep for a few more seconds." So I dozed up for a couple of more seconds, I was going to sleep for another hour but then I heard a scream coming from downstairs "Lil, don't tell me you're still asleep! Wake up!" "Lil" was my nickname she created just for me  and she loved calling me that.

      Of course, while she screamed I ran to the bathroom thinking "SHOT SHOT!!! why did I let my intrusive thoughts get to me" then I heard lucy about to go upstairs to stop her I yelled "Yeah, I'm almost done." I was in the bathroom catching my breath, then I started opening the water faucet in a hurry while ranting, "She knows I'm not a morning person, and she knows that I move slowly. Plus, how can I even take a bath? The water's too cold." While ranting, I heard a scream "Are you done yet??"  "Yeah, yeah, I'm almost out," I said. "You said that already." But I was already out I had a towel wrapped around my body as I went to my room.

      Lucy stared at me angrily as if she was tired of the same routine over and over again. Then I tried to talk to her in a sweet voice saying, "It's not like this is new to you." I laughed then she answered with "Whatever, Lil." I went to my room to finally get dressed and since there is no required uniform in our school, I wore a confident hoodie to stay warm during classes.

WRITER'S NOTE: here is what I think it looks like:



        I started playing music on my phone because it had become a habit to sing and dance while getting ready ( it's the reason why I'm awake most mornings). It's so lively in the morning whenever I do that it makes me feel more awake in the morning.

I like wearing simple clothes so just as I've said I wore a not so dark hoodie and blue pants after picking up my clothes,

I went to the mirror to fix my face. I had eyeliner, mascara, and cherry-flavored lipstick ( I feel like some anime character whenever I try on my lipstick) my favorite btw, given to me by my friend ( an old classmate of mine). After that I sprayed myself with perfume grabbed my bag and books, and of course the novel I was reading ( It's called Painter of the night, if you know you know wink wink). Then I paused and smiled because I realized it was the first time I finished earlier than Lucy ( she had to redo her makeup cause she wasn't feeling it) guess today was one of those rare occasion I thought to myself then laughed.

      I sat on the couch and started reading while waiting for Lucy.It was finally the climax of the story I was one chapter away from the best part but before I could flip the chapter someone yelled "Let's go" it was Lucy. I groaned and said "okkkkk" I was about to stand up but then saw lucky  I looked at her and thought "She's so pretty and sexy. That's my best friend ( I'm that proud of her). I'm not wondering why almost every boy/girl  goes to her and asks her out on dates."  "Can I drive?" I asked her doing puppy-dog eyes. She didn't want me to drive because I'm not experienced in driving, and the last time I did drive I ruined her car not totally ruined more like I scaped it. I mean, we have our own cars but hers is the only one with gas because I kept forgetting to add gas to mine (lol). "No, we will be late. Maybe tomorrow" she said. Then I felt happy and sad don't forget that while smiling.

     She rolled her eyes then pulled me out of the apartment door. Then we started walking to the parking lot. After going to the parking lot the moment I got inside the car I immediately opened the car stereo while Lucy started the car. Suddenly, the music "I'm not her" played. We liked this song as we could relate to it. We memorized it ( I mean continuously playing something can cause you to memorize it at some point) and sometimes we sang it together even though we were out of tune ( lol). We both laughed and said "when will we be able to be on the right tune AHAHAHHAHAH" after a couple of minutes we were finally at  campus the first bell went off. Even though she woke me up early we still were late so we ran to our classroom as fast as we can.

    We were afraid of being marked late because it'll be deducted on our report cards which really bothered Lucy alot which sometimes makes her a nerd in away but even though Lucy is  kinda a nerd she was one of those beautiful nerd types while I wasn't that much of a brag more of a meh kinda situation. Unlike her I did like reading but only mangas you know mangas like bl,gl any type although I wasn't that interested in studying it didn't  meant my grades we're low they're kind of average.

     The professor had just finished her third subject which was supposed to be the last  one before break time. However she didn't show up for her  class so we decided to leave. I mean I just left escaping to the rooftop to catch some sleep because I was still feeling sleepy  and it was quiet up there ( well that's kinda expected) making it a perfect spot for a quick nap. I easily get sleepy because I am sleep-deprived and tend to stay up late at night reading curse you Butler ( name of the manga). Usually I stay up until 3:00 in the morning every day because of reading ( yeah don't judge me). I started playing music on my earphones as I made my way to the rooftop. When I opened the door I noticed someone sleeping there. I thought no one would sleep on the rooftop in the morning except me. I moved a bit forward to get closer finally after tiptoeying for seconds I saw the persons face  my eyes widened when I saw  who it was. It was the school's troublemaker or rather bad boy ( WN: Pls forgive me for the upcoming cringes) Also known as the school playboy Aidan Gallagher.

      Surprisingly, he still looked handsome even while sleeping resembling an angel who wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings. However as his reputation suggested he often played with people's emotions it didn't matter if you we're a boy or a girl he'd hurt you emotionally in every way possible. I instantly realized that despite his angelic appearance he could still cause trouble for any girl who fell for him just by looking into his eyes. Suddenly he opened his eyes and caught me looking at him sleeping which was awkward for me ofc cause I was caught T T send help. Before I could say anything he interrupted my thoughts and said "Hey baby are you watching me sleep?" He grinned. "No?" I answered feeling embarrassed. How could he have seen me? Why didn't I just find my own place to sleep? I scolded myself silently. Then suddenly Aidan stood up causing me to flinch a little bit . His gaze focused solely on me as he smiled. "Name?" he asked. "Like you care" I replied sarcastically. He laughed amusingly. "You're right. After all you're already my baby. I'll call you that alright? That's why I don't need to know your name anymore right baby?" he said I thought to myself "This jerk What gives him the right to call me 'His'? I don't belong to anyone." As he started walking towards me I began to step backward until I hit a wall fuck dead end. He did one of those cringy movie things where the guy pushes the girl against the wall and then puts his hands on the wall while staring at her. Feeling irritated  and embarrassed I asked, "What do you think you're doing?" He chuckled ignoring my question and asked "What are you listening to?" Then he suddenly took one of my earphones and put it on his left ear. "What the heck is this some kind of cringy novel?" I screamed in my head as he listened. He then realized I was listening to "WAP" by Cardi B. I had been so focused on his face that I hadn't noticed my phone was streaming that kind of music as if I couldn't get any more embarrassed my music surprised me. Aidan smiled and said "Hmm, nice choice of music, baby."

I screamed "Stop!" But before I could finish he leaned in close. My eyes widened and I panicked. He was kissing me without permission! I was beat red and Embarrassed  I didn't know why but a sudden urge to kiss him back overwhelmed me (I'll scold my self later). So I kissed him back. Our tongues tangled  exploring each other's mouth. A moan escaped my lips as his left hand slipped under my hoodie.

"stop!" I repeated but it was too late. He was touching me everywhere. Disbelief washed over me. Here I was making out with the school's biggest player. He was about to go further but I shoved him away. "Sorry," he said, feigning innocence "I got carried away listening to the music." He even had the audacity to say that  seductively. "Are you kidding me?" I exploded. "I can't believe I let you do that!" Questions swirled in my head. "Why did I let this happen? At school no less? What was I thinking?" Firmly I said "Don't touch me again." He just whistled seemingly amused. He grazed his lips over mine, then grabbed my hips whispering "Don't say something you'll regret." With all my strength,l I pushed him away again. "I warned you" I said my voice laced with anger. He left first Oozing with confidence as he walked away towards class. I started running why well I ran  away from him to make sure he was truly gone I ran to the nearest closed location and when I got there I caught my breath. "Shoot" I muttered, "why did I let that happen? Stupid Lily! Just because he's handsome a good kisser… wait!" I stopped myself. "What am I even thinking? I don't want to be another one of the girls who fall for him. If we were ever together it would only end badly for me."
