Episode 1

Lily bleakly opened her eyes to the annoying sound of her alarm clock. She thought setting an annoying sound would help her cause of waking up early but obviously years of getting up late got the better of her. She pressed "Delete alarm" on her phone and with a groan, turned on to her other side. Sleepily she tried to come back to the present world.

What day is it today? Is there anything interesting? Do I have to go somewhere?

Wait a minute... SCHOOL! VACATIONS ARE OVER!

Her eyes shot open. It was already 7:30.

What on earth? I closed my eyes for like 5 minutes after the first alarm at 6! Life is so unfaaaair! She screamed in her head and scrambled off the bed.

"Why can't I just wake up naked and see a hot guy beside me who will be some rich company's CEO who will never be able to forget me and then will try to pursue me and then I will have his baby which he will have no idea about but after 5 years we will meet again and he will know I am his child's mother and then we will get married?" Lily asked her friend, Caitlyn who was generously applying lip balm in front of a new make-up mirror that she had purchased at a thrift store. "Because dear Lily" she said, putting her mirror and lipbalm into a new makeup pouch she bought from the same thrift store, "YOUR LIFE IS NOT A MANHUA!" She smiled at Lily. Lily made a face. "Why don't you set up your home at the thrift store?" she commented as everyone stood up to greet the teacher who had just entered class with a male student.

Who is that new guy? Transfer student? Oh my God, is this a manga? I cannot believe it. Oh no, he is hot too. This is like a manga!

"Good morning, class" the teacher interrupted Lily's chain of thoughts. "This is Samuel. He is a transfer student and I hope you all will help him out settle in here."

Lily could hear the girls whispering and she was sure it was about his looks because duh. "If he is good at everything including basketball and music, he is your guy straight outta manga" whispered Caitlyn from the back. "I need to be the female lead for that" sighed Lily.

The teacher asked Samuel to sit anywhere he liked.

There were three benches empty: right in front of Lily, one in the first row and one in the far end corner.

If this was a manga, the guy would sit right in front of the girl, laughed Lily in her head.

Samuel sat in the first row.

Wait, why am I feeling so disappointed? Lily was surprised. I obviously did not expect him to sit in front of me!

It was time for the class duties to be announced.

"Bet it's going to be you and Samuel" Caitlyn whispered again from behind.

"Gosh Caitlyn, will you stop, it only happens in ma.."

"Lily and Samuel".

"Huh?"

"You both are on class duty for today. Help him, will you?" Having said so, the teacher walked away asking students who had doubts regarding the lesson to meet her in her office.

Samuel turned around to look at Lily.

Lily's heart was beating a tad bit faster as she tried twice to smile at him and ended up looking constipated.

Samuel turned his head away.

It was really not going to be like in a manga, right?
