*Today is the day. It's the first day of school!* I thought to myself. I woke up at 5:45am, school doesn't start till 8:45am. I couldn't sleep due to all of the built up excitement I had in me. Since I didn't fall asleep again because of the fear that I'd wake up late, I started to do some important chores around the house. I started off by feeding the cats. Later on I cleaned my room and the kitchen. That alone took about an hour. I checked my phone  and it was 7:30. My mom had woken up around this time. When my mom got up, that's when I hopped in the shower. The shower felt so nice. The heat pounding against my back sent chills throughout my whole body. That was truly the best shower I had ever had in years. I dried myself off and put on the outfit that I had planned out to wear for today. After I got dressed, it was 8:27am.

It was time to leave, I grabbed my house key and headed out to the car. My school wasn't far at all, it was only a 3 minute drive so I got there at exactly at 8:30. Something felt a bit strange when I got there. There would usually be a whole line of people standing outside to get their schedules. No one was there. *Maybe they're doing it different this year.* I thought to myself. As I leave from the car to the front gate in the student parking lot, I hear my name being yelled from my left ear.

"LULLABY!!" I turned to the left of me to see Liyah. She was wearing black leather pants with a pink shirt and pink vans with white shoe string in the shape of a star. I'd have to admit, the star shapes were pretty cool. "Hey Liyah!" I said with assurance. "Where's everyone at?" "Girl I have no idea" Liyah said. "Should we go inside though? " I didn't respond. I just shook my head yes. We headed past the second gates of the school. We were headed towards the cafeteria which was where most people lingered. Not to be rude and all but you can really tell who were incoming freshman in the crowds of people. Just by them screaming at the top of their lungs..they've snitched on themselves then and there. After a few more seconds of making our way past the outside pavilion, my eyes linger for a bit. As they linger I make eye contact with a girl. She wasn't just any girl though, she was the girl I fell in love with at homecoming last year. I loved everything about her. The way she smelled, the way she talked, the way she moved, her hair..everything about her made my heart pound. Her eyes were as brown as a hazelnut when the sun displayed its rays over them. Her dark brown hair slicked perfectly into a bun with the most perfect edges known to man kind. The sun simply made her eyes sparkle. Her name is Lariyah. God I love this girl. I forced Liyah to walk over with me towards her direction until we met with her.

"Wait hollon, this ate!" she expresses to me. Liyah starts to giggle knowing what I was thinking about her. I couldn't help but blush at this moment. There was nothing I could really say to her. Liyah and Lariyah started conversating for a bit. As they were chatting I scanned the school for some familiar faces. Yes I'm deeply in love with Lariyah but I have no chance with her. She's not interested in girls at all. The closest Ill ever get to her is just my scenarios. I had my eye out for someone else I'd seen during summer school. At the time, I don't know what I was thinking but this boy to me was sort of everything I'd wanted at the time. Tall and had a great fashion sense. I followed this boy on his socials over break, I was excited to receive a follow back. I never got to register his face in my memory yet. Moral of the story I have no idea what this boy looks like, the only thing I could look for was his structure.

   As my eyes scanned through the crowd I found him. Sort of. I got a glimpse of his body. He was super tall. He usually wore baggy jeans with some sort of Jacket and a white tee under with his tiny afro. However, he still remained faceless. It's like I couldn't see him turn around and even if he was close to turning around, he'd focus on going another direction. Maybe it just wasn't meant for me to see his face yet.

    As I was still keeping an eye on him, Liyah's boyfriend came close. As usual she runs toward him without saying a word. He hasn't been to summer school at all so I could see why she'd jump into his arms. "Omg they're SICK." says Lariyah trying not to gag. I think the thought of love grosses Lariyah out which makes me uneasy at times. But afterall, what can I do? I don't say anything as usual. I just let out a slight chuckle. We see a lot of kids head towards the quad in a rather large group. "Is that where we go to get our schedules?" says Lariyah pretty unsure. "Hmm I think so? Should we go check?" I insisted. She nodded her head and lead me towards the quad. "Students please like up according to the alphabet!" said one of the staff on the most blood curdling megaphone. There were a total of 5 groups that were in order by last names. I was on the group with Co-E since my last name starts with a D. On the other hand, Lariyah was in the last group since her last name started with a Z. Her being on the other side made me uncomfortable. There was no one else that I knew on my side. As soon as I got my schedule, I raced towards her. I already knew we weren't going to have any of the same classes since I'm in the academy program and she isn't.

    I didn't bother trying to compare schedules. After 12 more minutes of me and Lariyah chatting, the bell rings. It was so annoying to her the chimes of that Catholic bell all over again. It basically initiated that the fun was over. "Everyone please report to your first period class!" says literally every security guard on campus. "Bro can they shut the fuck up? Like it's the first day of school..we get it" Lariyah scolded. I think that's what I liked about her, she had no care for authority. We ended up heading to our classes. Thankfully Lariyah's class was only five doors down from me and Liyah's was only two doors down. I was relieved, it would be easier to find them when this class is over.
