"For a minute you thought you fooled me, for a minute you got me lost"

Trouble Letter

I woke up with the sound of my alarm, ringing just above my head the next morning.

With one leg still in sleep, I lazily started finding the source of the sound in order to stop it's not-so-melodious voice.

I yank up from the bed irritated as I groan, not being able to find the clock.

After an eternity of struggling I stand-up closing the ever-buzzing alarm, just to sit down on the bed again, groaning in pain.

After Ethan left yesterday, I may have been super annoyed to a level, where I might have gone out for a long-run in order to lower my bottled-up anger towards him.

"Damn it Emma, how many miles do you have to run?" I said, to myself in a sleepy voice with my eyes still half closed. As I groan in pain rubbing my legs unconsciously.

I slowly got up from the bed again, and planned to take a long-hot water bath for the sake of my sore legs.

Stepping back in the room wearing my robe, and feeling a million times better than I was feeling thirty minutes before. I saw the clock and immediately fastened my pace. I had only thirty minutes left and with that thought I rushed towards my closet, starting to do my rituals.

I wore a navy-blue oversized hoodie with a black skinny jeans and then paired it with one of my white sneakers. I dried my hair quickly brushing my fingers through them, making them in the natural brown waves. Then I quickly plugged my curling iron and started to curl my hair.

Fifteen minutes left until the final bell, I checked my watch and rushed outside the house, kissing my mum goodbye and then dumping my bag and all the food packages on the backseat. A minute later I head towards the front seat after closing the backdoor. But, I felt something was wrong. I stepped back closing the front door examining the car and that's when I saw the front tire.. deflated.

I groan circling around the car, only to find all the four tires deflated. I had a spare tire but it would take a whole lot more than fifteen minutes to change a tire. And it's not that I can arrange three more out of thin air.

"Come on, I just got it back from the service centre" I murmured under my breath. Checking my watch I did the next best thing possible. I took my bag out of the back door, then ducking further into the car to reach the small change purse which I shove into the bag's pocket that I always keep in the car before closing the door. I pull the bag's strips on my shoulder, tie my hair in a messy bun and then break into a sprint in the direction of the school.

Despite all the pain in the leg. I made it to the school just in time. As I opened the doors. sweating as hell, thinking about checking the time from the watch tied to my wrist. I got the answer by an annoyingly familiar sound. The final bell rang. "Are you serious?" I shouted in anger, when I noticed a familiar figure walking towards me. "Seems like running in the morning is not as fun as you thought" Ethan said in a mocking voice.

I lunged towards him, with every intention of wiping that arrogant smirk off his face when I heard another familiar voice coming from my right , which I had every intention of dodging today.

"Miss. Grey, report to the principal's office immediately." said the principal's assistant in the best authoritative voice one could speak in.

I stand still in my place, glaring and throwing mental daggers' at Ethan's back as he moves towards his class leaving me breathing heavily in the hallway.
