My alarm clock jolted me awake. I groaned as I turned it off. I'm exhausted because I've been involved in a lot of school activities this semester. I've been practicing for my opening dance performance for an upcoming Intramurals next week, and my body is aching all over from hours of practice.

I checked my phone and saw that it was 6:30 a.m. and that I had thirty minutes to get ready for school.

Then I heard my mother yell,
Lisa’s Mom
"Lisa! Get your ass up, young lady, or you'll be late for school!"
Lisa Manoban
"Yes, Mom, I'm coming down!" I grumbled, rolling my eyes.
I scurried over to the bathroom to take a quick bath. I didn't took much time getting ready. I was already dressed in my uniform, my bag slung over my shoulders, as I dashed down the stairs and into the kitchen, where I saw my mother preparing breakfast.
"Good morning, Mom," I said as I sat down, taking large bites of my egg sandwich. I had to eat quickly because I was running late for school.
Lisa’s Mom
"Well, slow down or you'll choke,"
Lisa’s Brother
"Good morning, sis."
Lisa Manoban
I glanced to see my brother settling down beside me, taking his sweet time with his food when he's running late for school himself. I shook my head and mumbled a 'morning'.

I downed my orange juice and stood up, placing the plate and glass on the sink.
Lisa Manoban
Bye, Mom!" I kissed my Mom on the cheek and ruffled my brother's hair. "Bye, dimwit!"
Lisa’s Brother
Ya! I just did my hair! Asshole!"
Lisa Manoban
My brother shouted, fixing his hair. He was about to smack me but Mom gave him the look and grumbled. I chuckled and stuck my tongue at him and he discreetly give me the middle finger. Aish, this kid.
Lisa’s Mom
"Aren't you going to take your brother to school?
Lisa Manoban
"No, he can take care of himself. I'm already late. I'm taking the car today. Bye!" I dashed out the door, clutching the car keys. I could hear my brother yelling after me. I smiled triumphantly and pressed the button on the car keys. I jumped into the driver's seat and threw my bag in the back. I started the engine and backed out of the parking space. I dashed off to school.

I got there five minutes before the bell rang. "Shit," I said as I turned off the engine, grabbed my bag, and dashed out of the car. I dashed inside, colliding with a few other students. I looked through the small window in the door and saw that the teacher was still not there. I exhaled a sigh of relief and went inside.

Jisoo and Rose noticed me and waved. I returned their wave and took a seat behind them. I greeted my seatmate, Jaemin, who is usually the quiet kid in class, but you'd be surprised how loud and crazy he can be when he's drunk. He gave me a small smile and returned his attention to his phone.
Jisoo
"How was your weekend?"
Lisa Manoban
"I just lazed around and Facetimed with my girlfriend as usual," I shrugged. Speaking of her, I took out my phone and texted her about where she is. She didn't respond, so I assumed she was on her way.
Rośe
"By the way, Irene invited us to a party this Friday; let's go, it'll be fun!"
Lisa Manoban
"Who's throwing the party, and why?" I inquired. Intramurals is next week shouldn't Irene be preoccupied with organizing the event as the Student Council President?
Jisoo
"I heard it was one of the upperclassmen, I believe it's Park Chanyeol. You know the varsity basketball player who's been crushing on Rose?
Lisa Manoban
Rose nudged her playfully, but her cheeks were flushed. Clearly, she has a crush on him. They've been giving each other subtle glances and small smiles every time they've been in the cafeteria. I'm not sure why neither of them has made a move yet.
Lisa Manoban
"Okay, I'll go." I nodded.
Jisoo
"Bring Jennie with you."
Lisa Manoban
"Sure. I'll tell her later."
Lisa Manoban
I turned my head to see what she was looking at, I saw my girlfriend walk through the door, probably out of breath from running. The door opened once more, this time to reveal our Biology teacher. Jennie was startled when she saw him and dashed to her seat at the far end of the room.
Lisa Manoban
I laughed. She's adorable. We exchanged smiles as we made eye contact.
Lisa Manoban
"Good Morning class!"
"Good Morning Sir Park!"
And that's when our boring class started.
