*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

I rolled over in my bed and slapped my phone with my hand. It was the next morning, and that meant school.
Groggily, I sat upright and rubbed the sleep from my eyes. Light had already begun to trickle through the gap in my curtains, and I could already hear some shuffling about in Jaiden's room.

I flicked my duvet off and rested my feet on the cool wooden flooring for a few moments, the events of yesterday flooding into my thoughts instantly. My cheeks warmed at the thought of spending so much time with Vicky yesterday.

I shook the thought from my head and breathed deeply. Jaiden and Abi both knew that what I was feeling was love. But I had NEVER felt anything similar to this, and I just couldn't seem to accept it. Both Jaiden and Abi had had relationships before, so maybe they could help?

Sighing, I stand up slowly and make my way to my wardrobe to get changed. Picking something from random, I find a purple patterned shirt and some navy-blue jeans. I swiftly get dressed and sling my bag over my shoulder, opening the door and exiting my room.

"THERE you are!" Jaiden exclaims from the living room, phone in one hand. I smile warmly at him.

"Having a chat with your crush yesterday, were you?" I smirk teasingly, watching as Jaiden's eyes widen slightly.

"Um.. maybe." He mumbles, his face a mild shade of pink. I pat him on the shoulder.

"Good for you."

"Oh. Thanks!" Jaiden replies, smiling awkwardly. His facial colour eventually subsides, and we begin the short walk to school.

"EMILY! JAIDEN!!" A voice from behind yells. We both turn around to see Abi and Vicky running towards us. I wave in their direction.

"Morning!" I say, beaming as the pair reach us.
"Welcome to your first official day of school, Vicky."

"Oh yeah! Thanks... I think?" Vicky replies, staring at the building with mild unease.

"You'll be fine! Besides, what subjects are you actually studying?" Jaiden pipes up, standing beside Abi.

"Oh! I'm studying art, geography, drama and music!" Vicky proclaims happily, turning to face us.

"Awesome!! We'll have geography together then!!" Jaiden exclaims happily, exchanging glances between Vicky and I.

"Yep! And I'll have art with you. Our class is smaller than Jay's, so it's likely you'll end up with me." I add on, smiling happily at Vicky. She grins back.

"Well, the first subject of the day for me is Double Science. I guess that's the same for everyone then." I shrug, watching as Abi groans.

"Aww man, we're doing Biology today as well!" Jaiden complains, head in his hands. I shake my head with a small grin.

"Well, I'm doing Chemistry, so.. I guess they're both bad!" I shrug again, glancing at the building behind me: the Science lab.

"I'm honestly not too bothered with science. I mean, I'm good at some parts, but.." Vicky says suddenly, looking at the science building as well.
"I don't think I'm in any of your classes, though."

"Really? What set did you get put in?" Abi asks, curiosity on her face. Vicky turns to face her.

"Heh.. Set 6, I think." She replies, a look of awkwardness on her own face.

"AGH! So close." Jaiden pipes up, tutting loudly.

"I'm in Set 5. Only a set difference." I say nonchalantly. However, my mind is telling me otherwise about the whole apparent 'problem' at hand.
