FREDAG 11:00
School started a few weeks ago, and I'm already wanting to drop out. All my teachers have just been dropping piles of homework as if they think that I don't have a life. I close my locker and walk to my Spanish class.
I haven't exactly made any friends yet. William and I still talk, and when he's not partying, he comes over to my apartment and he stays overnight.
It's Isak who I haven't made a lot of time for. We've hung out a few times, but he also has his own friends.
I take a seat by the window in the empty classroom. No one is here yet, not even the teacher. I suppose because I'm ten minutes early. I pull out my phone and open the text messages that my parents send me daily.
Mother:Good Morning Darling! I love you, and have a great day. Your father and I miss you very much. Mom.
Father: Isabella, I hope you're studying hard and enjoying your time in Oslo. Work hard and you'll achieve. Dad.
I scoff at the messages and don't bother to text back.
After a while, I hear someone else walk in. I pay no attention to who it might be until the person's voice begins to speak.
"Hallo."
I look up from my phone and towards the owner of the voice. A guy looks at me smiling. I raise my eyebrows and simply say hi back. I turn back to my phone and pretend to be interested on the news that I'm reading.
He walks towards me and takes a seat next to me. I feel his gaze on me.
I pay no attention to it, but after a while it begins to annoy me.
"Can I help you with something?" I ask.
He smirks, "Sassy. I like it."
I roll my eyes.
"You're William's friend, right?" he asks.
I nod, "You know him?"
"Yeah. Yeah I know him." he responds.
"Cool" I say and turn back to my phone.
He opens his mouth to say something else, but the bell rings and students begin to walk into the classroom.

At lunch time, I walk over to the school's small cafe and order a cup of coffee. I sit in one of the small tables that's meant for two and begin to slowly sip the hot drink.
