 ALEISHA'S POV

You know that feeling when sunlight is in your eyes and you feel like killing everyone? I'm feeling that right now.

Althia, my elder sister walks in.

" Ali, it's time to wake up. " She says, throwing open all the curtains in my room.
" Would you stop? " I mumble out as I cover my eyes with the palms of hands.
" Quit whining and get your lazy ass out of bed. I'll pick out something cute for you to wear. "

Reluctantly, I get my ' lazy ass ' out of bed and walked to my ensuite bathroom. I put my hair in a bun and wash my face.

I complete my usual washroom routine including taking a shower.

I walk out to see a pretty cute outfit laid out on my bed.

Thea had laid out a long-sleeved white top along with my favourite skinny black jeans and a pretty black and white scarf I didn't know I had. She also remembered to take out my favourite charm bracelet that my one and only best friend, Daena had made for me. As I got dressed, I decided that my black Uggs would complete the outfit.

I grabbed my bag and ran down the stairs. I saw my sister texting her boyfriend and decided that it would be better if I didn't interrupt them. I made myself a bowl of cereal. I looked up, as I finished my cereal to see my parents walk down the stairs.

" Hey, mom! Hey dad! I'm going to head out to school so bye!" I say as I give them both a chaste kiss on their cheeks.

" Bye Thea," I scream and she mumbles out a bye, still intently staring at her phone.

I rush out and get into my black Honda Accord, which my parents gifted me for my 17th birthday which passed on April 9th.

Just as I'm about close the door I feel something jump onto my lap. I look down in surprise to see my 2-year-old Dalmatian puppy, Luke.

I remember the day when me and Daena both got our pets. I named my puppy Luke and she named her kitten Michael.

It was such a joyous moment.

I look down to see him staring up at me intently with its blue eyes, waiting for a reaction from me.

" I'm so sorry I forgot about you in my rush. I love you. Bye." I cooed, petting it and getting it out of my car.

" Ali! over here!" Daena called out across the hall, standing at our lockers.

I walk over to where she's standing and pull her into a hug.

" Ali!" she groans, "You know I hate hugs!" She says, pulling away with a disgusted face.

" Even from your best bud ?" I ask, pouting. " Yes, I hate hugs from everyone." She says, ignoring my pout.

" You know, I fear you have haphephobia,", I say while unlocking my locker and shoving my books in.

" I don't even know what that is." She says, rolling her eyes.

" Whatever Dae,", I say and pull her into class.

" By the way, like what you're wearing. It's adorable." I say, checking her out.

She wore a maroon tank top, matching beanie and matching shoes. My favourite was the varsity jacket she wore. She was the coolest tomboy I ever met.

" I know right !" She says, twirling around.


" Yeah, yeah. Stop bragging alright." I say, taking a seat as she takes the one beside me.

" Good morning Aleisha. You look really pretty." A tanned skinned girl calls out as she walks into class.

" Thanks a lot, Olivia. Good morning to you too." I say with a smile.

" Hmm. Perks of being school president." Dae mutters, scoffing.


"Come on, people compliment you too.",I say.

" Who said I'm jealous? I hate attention." She says.

I give her look which says ' I know you more than you know yourself'. Miss Danielle, our French teacher walks in.

After we exchange our greetings, she orders us to take out our textbooks and complete exercises 5 to 12.

" Ugh! I hate this place. It's so torturous." I groaned.

" Honey, it's called high school for a reason." Miss Danielle says, shocking me and the rest of the class who had no idea of what I had said before.


I look up at her and smile sheepishly.

Great! I gave off a bad impression as school president and it's only the first period.
