Chapter 1: Number 19

'Virgo, The one you have been avoiding might be the one for you, so don't be scared to give them a chance because any decision you will make in your romance life this year might yield positive results...' i heard the reporter say from the Tv. As i thought about it i wasn't so sure who that person i've been ignoring may be, because as i remember i was definitely ignoring a lot of people, it could be the mad man across the street or the 13 year old neighbors son who had a crush on me because we were the same height. But my horoscope never failed me that is why i will always listen to this reports every morning to see if there will be any chance for me to find love.

"I am leaving!" I shouted to my parents who were still upstairs

"Okay love!" I heard them shout back in unision before exiting the house

The reporter said that my lucky charm was number 19, so i kept on thinking about it, will I get a 19 out of 20 on a test today. Ugh, that can't be today was the first day of school, which boring teacher will give a test on the first day? Like chill bro we just came back from holydays, our brains are empty

Today was the first day of school and i didn't want bad luck to hit me. Lucky charms were believed to bring good luck, so whatever my lucky charm of the day was i wanted it on me that is why i decided to go at a convenience store to buy any article having 19 on it.

I passed by one of my neighbors house whose house was twice ours, cause they were rich rich. We were neighbors but our houses wasn't that close because it would take a couple of minutes to reach there. Mr baker was leaning on his car with his sunglasses waiting for his witch of a wife

He waved and smiled at me as i walked pass their house. He didn't notice that his wife was already behind him until she hit his shoulder annoyed that he greeted me, again. Well they hated us the Murphys except him, sometimes.

I didn't bother replying to him because i was always told to ignore them, so i just continue walking

I have always wondered why the barkers hated the Murphys and vice versa but got no answers just the adults knew, and they kept it a secret. But honestly i didn't care

I quickly rushed at the nearest convenience store and bought a pen who had a little panda at the tip with the number 19 on his stomach in green. I paid for the pen and started walking a little bit faster scared of arriving late even though i still had like 30 minutes of spare time and school wasn't that far.

The closer i was from school the more i was getting excited, even though i didn't particularly like it. Especially math and the teachers heads. But i loved my friends and was so excited to see them again after all this time. I didn't have much friends, because i just didn't like to talk to people. But surprisingly i got closer to two persons who are the only people i have been sticking with since 6th grade

When i arrived infront of the school, they were already so many cars packed and many new faces i didn't know and didn't want to know. I started scanning the area in search of the two only important faces to me in this school

Then i saw them, Dove and bryan they were standing next to each other infront of bryan's car

"Hi" I greeted as i went to them

"Oh hi we were actually waiting for you" Bryan said. Him and i have been friends since forever because our parents are friends, so i was glad when i came to this school in 6th grade and saw him here too. He had a chocolate skin, curly hairs and also the whitest teeths i have ever seen which was surprising considering the amount of sweet things he ingest

"W-we have b-been waiting for a while n-now" Dove said, stuttering. She always stutter and sometimes, i don't get what she says but it is okay. She looked like a typical nerd with her big round lenses who covered almost half of her face, but to me it was cute

"I missed you guys so much" I said happy to see them again

"What we literally saw each other last night"

Bryan looked confused. Yeah we did watch a movie yesterday at Dove's house

"T-that's right"

"Yeah but for me it feels like a whole year. If it doesn't feel like a long time to you that only means you guys don't love me the way i do" I said as a matter of fact

We entered the school arguing about who loves the others more and why, then i went to my usual locker and was surprise to see Riley Baker oppening the locker next to mine. Locker number 19. Was that suppose to mean anything?

Anyways just ignore it, he is your enemy i told to myself

But since when is that his? I didn't want Melissa and her stupid group to come at me just because her boyfriend's locker is next to mine. I quickly took my books out and in my locker and only left those i needed in my bag before leaving as fast as i could

I went to Ryan and Dove to see them staring at something or maybe someone. It was a new girl with orange and pink hair, she was cute. Ryan looked so mesmerized, red hearts were literally visible in his eyes

"She is so hot" Ryan said drowling

"Y-yah but it looks like she is 5ft t-taller than y-you"

I laughed cause she was right. But Ryan hated being told that he was short so he was fumming.

"Height doesn't matter. I'll seduce her with my pretty face" He defended himself, even though he wasn't pretty at all.

"Whatever y-you say"

The bell rang and i quickly went to my first class which was literature. Unfortunately we didn't share this class so i had to sit without them. They always like those difficult subjects like those science and astronomy shit compared to me. So it wouldn't surprise me if we barely shared any classes this year. I loved literature, actually it was my favorite subject ever, what i loved the most about it were the books which we read who always turns out to be super interesting, that is why i never missed Mme.
