Chapter 1 - Day 1

It was another usual day at home, and I as usual feeling suffocated and trapped. Primary school had been a whole phase. Trying to hide myself and avoid getting noticed, made me feel more comfortable. I was always going to be that background character, who had friends but was never noticed in the friend group. *Sigh*.

Rhema: Oh my god! What was that?

Zara: I don't know, let's check it out.

[They check near the class balcony]

Sharon: Who's that! . [pause] . Oh it's you Lexi.

Lexi: Sorry, [ rubs neck] I tried to get my textbook, but it slipped and my books toppled over.

Sharon: Don't worry help you.

Lexi: No need, you guys should go. Wouldn't want "Alex" to know that.

Sharon: Why I'm just helping you out. After all, we're just friends. Helping each other out is what we do.

Lexi: I know but since you like Alex,_____[cuts in]

Sharon: I do not!(>⁠.⁠<) , oka-yy ... Maybe just a little bit.

Lexi: yh, and I know you need help in getting him, is that not it.

Sharon: Yes (face palms herself ;⁠)) I know I only started talking to you because of that but,seriously

I'm still your friend. Whether hook or crook. So why don't I help you.

Lexi: Fine, since want to help sooo bad, why don't you join me.

Sharon: Sure (⁠^⁠^⁠)

[ They clear the books and walk back together]

Lexi: Why like him, anyways :⁠-⁠\

Sharon: I don't even know, there's just this thing about him that draws me in. ...But you'll help me get close to him right?(>⁠.⁠<)

Lexi: Sure, what are friends for(:⁠-⁠|).
