Chapter 1 ME

Bright summer morning March

Rochester, New York  St Knowledge school

I was sitting in my class on my bench at the last row third seat near the window away from the corridor

With my earphones plugged in my ears and music playing

Music blocking the screams and chit chats going in the class before the teacher comes

I yawned opening my mouth as big as it can be and then put my hand on it

Knowing that I am very tired but what can I do I can't sleep at night

Having Insomnia is a big problem

But well not so big worry I have been handling this from last three years

By the way I am Iana Brown , seventeen years old short straight black hairs and brown eyes

With my black shirt tuged in my black jeans and black sneakers on

I was listening music enjoying it with my whole heart and that's when the teacher walked in

Ms silvery our class teacher

It's just been one week since the new session started

She started taking the attendance of the students

My name was about to come that's why I took out my ear phones

" IRIS BROWN" she screamed

"PRESENT MA'AM" I said raising my arm up

Then I again plugged my ear phones till the rest of attendance was going

I was looking outside but then teacher screamed someone's name who was not in the class

"MICKEY EVANS ... MICKEY EVANS"

All the students looked around the class

" MICKEY EVANS " she again screamed

"PRESENT MA'AM" some spoke from the corridor

There it is the blue eyes and brown hairs boy Mickey Evans , always late in school the , looks like a fairy always in bright clothes

I leaned on my arm and looked at him how can he be late I made a disgusted look with the side eye and again looked outside the window

He entered inside

"Why were you late" ma'am screamed at him

" I slept too long ma'am" he said scratching the back of his neck with a small smile

Lucky people

" This is the third time you are late this month and not even the session started and you are already started being late "

" Sorry ma'am I'll make sure that I don't get late the next time "

" It will be a honour if you get inside the school gates right before the bell rings , now go and sit on your seat " she commanded him

He sat on his bench which was at the second row last seat

" Well then let's start our class "

" Hey dude you are not studying " he whispered

" What do you mean I am not, I am doing it look the books are in front of me "
