Just Try

The horror

December 8

I'd say today was a good day. The sun is just rising, shining through my window, the cold air touching my face, noise from cars and construction buildings. Yup, good day for a normal day.

This is life when living in the city, there are lots of sounds, including a robotic voice screaming "well" over and over again. I raised my head from my pillow and looked beside it where my phone was on  to stop the alarm clock. 6AM, the day has begun for more human interaction.

I stared at the ceiling and then stood up to get ready. Quick shower that lasts for thirty minutes most of the time, brush my cute black bob hair and then put on my uniform, white button up shirt and moss green pants. By 6:43 I was already going down the stairs of the apartment I live in. The university is just a ten minutes walk away from here.

The street was as busy as ever with people walking to their destinations. I got to class just in time. The professor, Mr. Adams, isn't in yet and the class is only half full. Few minutes later, the class is almost complete and the proffesor is in. Some of my classmates came in late.

After one hour and forty minutes, the prof made an announcement

"Okay class, before I dismiss you, I have an annoucement. You guys will have a project-" he was cut off the groans of the students rejecting the idea. "Don't worry, this will be passed by the end of the semester, you will have plenty of time to do this. I have assigned you to your partners for this"

Partners? This mean I have to work with someone? I'd rather not, I feel a little queasy about this then after a few calls I heard my surname.

"Powers and Domingo, stand up so you can know each other"

I stood up and looked at him. Carlo Domingo, male, tall, and with a face that every girl would fall for. I don't know much about this guy but I can feel I won't become friends with him. All this thoughts made time fly.

Everyone was standing up. The class has ended and I have ten minutes to get to my next one, which is in another building.

Let' skip to the part where I'm already there. It was computer lab day for our algorithm class, a programming subject.

It's always cold in this classroom but I got a spot where it's not too cold nor too hot. Near the window, and a swivel chair that can be adjusted. It's not always I get a adjustable swivel chair. This school needs to change some of it.

Then Carlo comes in from the door. I completely forgot he's in the same class with me and Serephina Chelsea Anniston, clingy girl to Carlo, even tho they aren't even a real thing. They're just being shipped by some but Carlo hates that ship. Seraphina is always bugging him.

Spesking of the devil, she has come in to class and stood in front of the door looking for someone, looking for me. We made eye contact and she went straight to me.

"You better not do anything to my darling" she says as if Carlo was his boyfriend

"Who?" I pretended not to know who she was talking about

"Carlo Domingo, that's who. So, if you dare touch him, you will deal with me"

"Yeah, sure"

Then she just walks away and sat next to Carlo, whom was busy playing with his phone. He didn't noticed that Seraphina was beside her talking about something even tho Carlo wasn't listening.

"Hey, did sir check attendance already?" someone sat beside me

I looked to see that it was Alice Gordon, a friend of mine, beautiful enough for boys to ask her out, and a cosplayer. She has long black hair, normal body size, and brown eyes.

"Well you're early today? Aand nope, not yet" I replied with a amusement

Then that's what happened today. Nothing much, just stressed that I have to do a partnered project with someone.
