Today is my first day at my school and Adrian and I are both pretty nervous. "Hannah! Dalian mo! Male-late na tayo!!!" (Translation: Hannah! Hurry up! We're gonna be late!) Adrian called out from downstairs.

I took one last look of my reflection on the mirror and told myself that I can survive this day and then I slung my back pack filled with my school things. "Let's do this!" I said then I went downstairs and saw Mom talking with Mrs. De Vizio.

"Where's dad?" I asked Adrian.

"Oh. He left early to attend an interview." He replied.

Then Mom turned to me, "Thank goodness you're here already!" She exclaimed. "Mrs. De Vizio will drive all of you to school today."

"Jeez... What took you so long?! Your uniform isn't complicated compared to mine so what took you so long upstairs?!" Julian complained. He was wearing a navy blue blazer with his school's logo. Underneath it, he was wearing a long-sleeved polo, a necktie with red and black stripes on it, he was wearing black pants and black shoes. I must admit, he really looked good in his uniform and this is my second time seeing him wear that uniform...

Uh... Why the hell am I ranting about how good he looked today?!

"I am nervous, okay? It's my first day today and I don't wanna screw up so please stop talking." I said.

He smirked and put his two hands up in the air.

"Okay. Let's go now." Mrs. De Vizio said. "Julian, have you got everything that you need for today?"

"Yes mom." Julian replied.

"Your teachers had sent me letters of concern about you lacking of your school materials. I don't want you to have bad grades because of that." She said.

--School--

After I got my timetable from the front office, I immediately looked for my classroom which is in English block, room one.

As I was walking to my classroom, I accidentally bumped into someone and I looked and saw a girl who is the same age as me.

"Sorry." I said and then she just ignored me and walked off. "Oh, it's alright dear. I forgive you." Then I rolled my eyes and went to my classroom.

My English class went pretty good. I met some good people in it like Shona, Blake, Matthew (He's gay by the way), Desiree and Avah. When the siren went, we all headed to our next class which is Science. Yes, we're all in the same class, which is pretty cool because I got to know them all and vice versa.

At recess, we all hung out together in the cafeteria when suddenly, I saw three girls oppressing the other girl who was just trying her best to ignore them. In an instant, the girl in the middle poured her juice over the poor girl.

"Jeez... Lexie, Stacey and Danielle are such bullies." Shona said.

"Mean girls." Matthew scoffed.

"Guys, stop staring!" Avah said.

"Why? She's the one who's drawing all the attention to herself so it's not our fault if we stare at her." Desiree said.

I stood up, "Hey Hannah... What are you doing?" Blake asked.

"I'm doing something that is right." I said then I walked to the three girls who were bullying the girl. "Excuse me... Bullying is prohibited in schools. Don't you girls know that? And what did this girl ever do to you to treat her like this?"

"And who told you to join in? Why don't you just fuck off?" The girl with blond curly hair and blue eyes said whose name is Lexie said.

"No, why don't you fuck off from this girl?" I said calmly.

Then she stopped and looked at me quizzically, "You look like you're not from here." She said. "Where did you came from?"

"I came from the Philippines." I said firmly as I crossed my arms. "Why? You got a problem with us Filipinos, you titless stupid hoe?"

"How dare you to insult me!?" She said.

"Oh dahhhhhrling... I am just stating facts." I said, making everyone in the canteen laugh.

"We are not yet done." She hissed and then walked off with Stacey and Danielle. I turned to the girl and I handed out my hanky to her and she took it.

"Thank you." The girl said.

I smiled, "No worries." I replied and I just came into my realization that she was the girl that I accidentally bumped onto while walking to my English class.

"Thank you for standing up for me." She said.

"No problem. I'm glad that I helped." I replied. "What's your name?"

"I'm Holly Blakemore." She replied.

"I'm Hannah. I'm sorry for bumping onto you a while ago."

"That's alright. Besides, I should be the one apologizing because I ignored you and all that sorts of stuff.... Uh... I'm really sorry."

"It's fine. Anyway, do you want to sit with us?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

She smiled and nodded then we walked back to where my other friends are sitting.

--Dismissal Time--

"I'll see you tomorrow guys!" I said then we all formed a group hug and Holly is included in it, of course. I pulled away and walked up to the black car where I saw Adrian went in. I took a deep breath and went in and saw Mrs. De Vizio, who was driving the car, while Adrian and Julian on the passenger's seat.

I went in and put my seatbelt on and because my luck is running out, I got no choice but to sit next to the Julian, the jerk, like last night.

The next thing I knew was that I fell asleep during our trip back home.

[JULIAN'S POV]

When we were on our way back home, I noticed that Hannah fell asleep and so I let her head rest on my shoulder and she doesn't even care about it and even made herself comfortable by snuggling up to me. I looked at her and she is just beautiful. I smiled and pulled her closer to me.

And yes, I like her. I like Hannah. Well, that prank that I pulled on her yesterday? It's just one of my ways to let her know how much I like her. And when I scared her brother last night was just an accident, I was meant to scare her but I entered the wrong room and ended up scaring her little brother which I fully regret.

When I like a girl, I always pull pranks on them because I don't know how to say or show them directly...

To be honest, Hannah is not that really easy to get... But I guess, I'll just have to try my best to win her heart.
