Beep Beep: Her eyes open. She takes her hands out of the warm blanket and slams the alarm clock hard that it stops ringing. With other hand she grabs her phone behind the pillow. "Crap!! Carp !! Crap!! I'm late again"
It's 9 in the morning and now she has to rush to school. Although she knows she's late for school she opens her playlist and plays KIWI by HARRY STYLES.
"She works her way through a cheap pack of cigarettes 🎵"
She kicks blanket from her body and gets up energetically. Dumps phone in a pocket of her pajamas and heads towards bathroom.
"I'm having your baby 🎵": Does the hairflip in the shower and dances like a wild monkey trying to escape from a cage.
Brushes her teeth real quick , stuffs bread and milk , packs her bag, kisses her Harry Styles poster and rushes to the bus station. Dad," Hurry up you lazy!! Better not miss the bus"
" I won't "
"Shitt! Shitt! Bus you fookin idiot! Not again".
After missing her bus for 3 times in row in a week she catches a public vehicle and reaches school. "Ughh I hate it here", she sighs as she reaches the gate of her school. The school looks almost empty as classes were already started and students were silently studying . She slowly walks towards her class and in the corridor she's stopped. "Ms. Gray! Can we have a talk?!Please follow me to my office"
It was Professor Hateni. " I hate it here. What's her problem with me. Omg do I again have to bare her lecture, god! not again "
"Have a sit! And please explain me why are you late, again "
" Now , do I tell her that I was busy trending WE LOVE ONE DIRECTION yesterday night and I almost forgot to sleep....What should I tell her ummm?? Wait why do I even have to tell her anything . It's my class . If I'm late I'll have trouble with studies. Why is she so worried about it"
"Miss, Gray!"
"Ummm..I had a terrible stomache in the morning so erm I had to visit a doctor "
"For the 3rd time in a week?" Professor Hateni asks suspiciously.
"Yeahh..erm kinda having trouble with my stomach lately."
" See ,Ms.Gray! You are a good student and being late is no good for you. You already have missed half of the class, look at the clock. At Veredale we want student to be punctual and disciplined. As academic coordinator it is my duty to check whether you are performing well or not: look at your grades! They're decreasing each term. If there's any problem with you. Tell me, I'll help you"
"Yes mam. I'll perform better this time", Gray says in a monotonous voice. " if only she had let me enter the class I would not have missed half of the class";murmmers.
"You may take your leave now"
Gray entes the class an takes her seat. It's second period already and Professor Mamrok is teaching integration.
"Oii oi.. How come you are soooo late? You are usually late but this is too much. You've missed a whole class. "
It was Eric Radolf. The only face Gray wants to see in her high school. He's her best friend or rather only friend in school.
"I had to go to Prof. Hateni office to hear he lecture"
"Omg.hahahha...I'm so sorry for you"
"Gray,Eric!! Are you listening to me!!!!", shouts Professor Mamrok.
"Yes sir! " replies Gray quickly although she hadn't heard a word from his mouth.
Recess:
"Err. Haven't slept properly yesterday" exclaims gray lying her hands to desk of canteen to rest her shoulder".
" Here! Your vanilla shake. It'll make you feel better."
"Thanks Eric. If it wasn't you i wouldn't have survived high school"
"Well. Erm so you don't need me after school is finished?" says Eric sarcastically.
"Hahaha very funny" replies Gray without a laugh just to make him sure it was a very bad joke.
"OMG! Did you see Stephanie the bitch's instagram post of her new boyfriend?"exclaims Eric.
"Wasn't that guy Per? Can't believe she's dating that nerd" says Gray
"Why were you late btw?"
Then Gray starts telling Eric about her Twitter trend. How she tweets 1000 texts but her idols don't notice it. How she's badly thriving to get noticed and how she would even die for Harry Styles. Eric pretends to be listening and Gray knows that but she's fine with it. Atlest he pretends. :)
The classes are over. Gray and Eric take the school bus to home.
"Don't you have acting class after this?" Eric
says.
"Yeah. Once I reach home and eat something then I'll go.
"Okay. After the high school ends it'll be quite easier for you to manage acting courses"says Eric
"I want to escape this place as soon as possible." says Gray
"So you're doing SATs and flying USA after this ends. aren't you?"
" I wasn't quite sure. But now I'm. I think I have a plan. To study further I'll go to USA and and take acting lessons side by side. You know how my parents want me to become a lawyer and how difficult it was for me to let them send me to acting class. So if I tell them I want to go to USA to become an actor they'll never let me. And I don't want to become an actor here in this small poor country. I want to make it to the top . To Hollywood . So that's my plan , go there to study law and become an actor haha."
" Yeah and date Harry Styles at the end . Ain't it?" exclaims Eric sarcastically.
" Very correct!!! . .. what are you doing? Which college decided yet?"
" I've been trying to get in few different engineering college.........."
Eric begins to explain what he will be doing but Gray is in her own world of dreams where she is in a beautiful golden saree holding the golden lady in her hand and giving her winning speech. "
