Why universe why?? Or Nikki here.
"You don't, again, mean him right?"
"Yes, I do." She smirks.
Fine.

Right now my life feels like 'The upside of falling'. No, wait, 'My fake boyfriend'? A high school version of' The love hypothesis'? 'Spanish love deception'? 'The hating game'?' The kiss quotient'! Cause y'know Stella ... Heck even our surnames are the same.
Basically like a romance novel. But well my character is not like that of a lead. It's more Avery-like.
Who cares though, I'm the lead role of my life.
Except, I'm not going to fall for him.
Probably.
Hopefully.
That's what happens in every book.
But my life ain't no novel.
That felt like a lyric...
Anyways, I put some extra effort into my hair today cause I got some time. No other reason. I just like styling my hair. I make two French braids and. I'm wearing a white top with baggy black jeans to go with my hair.
It looks good without the glasses though. I'm not blind without them. I put them in my bag and go downstairs for breakfast.
"Good morning mom!" I say as I sit down on a stool beside the kitchen island. She is preparing my lunch. It's not like the canteen food is bad, but this is 'healthy food.'
She smiles and wishes me back. Her mood is exceptionally good today. Maybe I'll get something good to eat today.
I stuff my lunch box in my bag.
"You're not going today? It's already time." My mother asks.
"Someone's picking me up. That reminds me why isn't he here yet? " I take out my phone and scroll through my contacts.
"Who? " where is he?..
"Drake."
"Jennifer's son? " I hum in response still scrolling. Hell, we had this hour-long conversation yesterday and it didn't occur to me to exchange our numbers?!
" Why is he picking you up?"
Why is he picking me up...? Shit, what should I say now? That we're fake dating and he has to pick me up cause that's what normal couples do?
"Good morning oreo!" Thank you, dad! My life saver!
I sigh with relief " morning dad! " I wish when he leans down to kiss my forehead.
"You're not going to school?"
"Yes-"
"Ahh! I have been waiting to see this sight! In which direction has the sun risen today?" A voice says from behind.
Talon.
"That's because someone was supposed to pick me up. And he's late. "
