Chapter 1: Meet the Squad

Channelle put her bag into her back as she faced the three of the girls. "Have you thought yet of any kind of fun to do after class? It will be our first get together, so it should be remarkable."

Channelle is a brunette, plump and rounded woman, with a copper brown curly hair that falls under her collarbone length with a height of 5'2. She has shrewd sparkling black eyes, her brows were arched highly, her nose was slightly turned up one, while the corners of her mouth are upturned.

Most of the people would give her the first impression of friendly and easy to get going with, because she always flashed a lovely smile. She likes to talk most of the time although they newly know each other. Another characteristic of her is she has a golden and angelic voice that's why she perfectly fit as the choir leader in their church.

Channelle is not fonds of wearing heels and only wore flat black shoes. She's a product of broken family and lives alone with her mother. Just like Fionellanj, she is a scholar in Summerfield, the only difference is, she was already a student here since she started middle school.

"What about bky hunt? I knew a place where many handsome guys can be found. If you all agree, we'll stop by to our house so we could change our outfits." Idea proposed by Elettra who also stands at 5'2.

Elettra is a brunette and curvy woman, too. She has a short black straight hair with a cute bangs in it. She got a wildly luminous pair of eyes, upward brows that can judge anyone from head-to-toe, a small turned-up nose, and her thick lips were deep and defined "V" which sometimes she considered as her security.

Among the rest, she and Sunniva didn't fail to wear full make-up every day, but not too thick to make them look like a clown. She is also characterized for being well-skilled in arts, especially in doing make-ups but, other people criticized her for being unreasonably frank as well as for having a filthy attitude. Nevertheless, Fionellanj feels at ease with her presence because the enjoyment and happiness always starts from her.

Elettra once told them that she got a long list of ex-lovers whom she couldn't consider as her ex-boyfriends at such a very young age. She labeled them as her 'flings'. But despite of that, Elettra is an active student and is good at things that involve oral--except during math time. I'm referring to recitation, aight?

"We are all still underage here. We are not allowed to enter night bar." Channelle fully refuted her idea, but Elettra immediately answered it.

"Don't worry abour our ages, my friend in the bar can handle it."

"The bar only opens at night, right? I think I can't go if we take part in to that idea of yours. My mom would be the first one to disagree. Aside from thats, she would either shave my head as soon as she found out I'm partying at night." Fionellanj strenously disagree. To tell the truth, she dislike party and drinks. Elettra looked away and shifted with a grimace. A dead air occured for less than five seconds, seeing that no one tries to speak up, Fionellanj do the action.

"I guess, the best thing to do is to head home already to start making our assignments? Sounds more productive yet, we can even take a rest from the place of our comfort. We can bond some other time when we finally come up with one decision we all desire to agree."

"Here comes again your nerdy side, Anj." Sunniva uttered. Sunniva look to Elettra's side. "I think Elettra's idea is great, we can have a night party but instead to a bar, we can conduct it from one of our houses." That's how good Sunniva is, she doesn't take one side but weighs the situation and then come up with a better idea.

Sunniva brushed her lips using her blood-red lipstick. She has a white-skin toned same as mine and has short blonde hair. Elettra and Sunniva were best friends since they were in their 8th grade here in Summerfield. Yes, both of them do dirty talks round the clock, but unlike Elettra, Sunniva has no records of flings nor past relationships.

"I have suggestion. How about we spend an hour or two to our house, I'll serve you my specialty to eat." proposed by Anneliese with full of conviction. She does love cooking and dreamed to be a Chef someday.

Anneliese stands at 5'4. Since she's the tallest among all other girls, she portrays the role of an older sister.. She has a fine body and her hip-length hair was tied in a bun. She has fair skin, her eyes were normally inquisitive, got a straight and delicate nose, and has full lips with volume and plump pout.

They eyed each other and nod altogether. "Based on your reactions, I guessed it's a yes. This is our first get together and a food in the center would add the spice of knowing each other."

They get their things and headed their way to Anneliese house. It only took them a 10-minute walking distance from Summerfield.

It's been two months since their class began. Fionellanj never imagine that she could be riends of them, that's why she's so thankful for having them regardless of their differences.

Frankly, at first, she just really wanted to study hard that's why she hates getting involved in romantic relationships with men. She doesn't want something that will bother her while she's studying.

Her mother taught her it's bad to articulate words that she might be swallowing someday. But she knew to herself that she'll graduate SHS without getting attached to a man, no matter how handsome he looks like or how big his muscles are.

She onced give up her lovelife, she could do it again.

The moment they arrived at Anneliese's house, they considered themselves as family and not a guests, specifically as Anneliese's sisters.. Anneliese took off to the kitchen to start cooking her specialty along with her yaya. While the rest, they just talked and laughed with each other. Elettra and Sunniva kept on sharing their laughable moment, then shared some issues about some students from Summerfield.

"Girls, come over here!" Anneliese called them from the dining area. "For special friends like you, here I proudly present to you my specialty, One-Pot Shrimp and Asparagus Fra Diavolo," enthusiastically announced by Anneliese as she held down the plate containing her cooked meal. Chanelle initiates the prayer. "Amen." they all uttered in chorus. "So what are we waiting for? Bon Appetite!"

Upon looking at it, you will started to feel you stomach is getting full because it was presented beautifully. They delicately serve their own plates one at a time with this delicious food. The desirous and eagerness to savor every bit of this food is flashed through their faces.

This fresh, springy take on a one-pot pasta has a spicy, lemony sauce, which gets thickened by the starch from the pasta. But all in all, Anneliese cooked it perfectly. They all give her an 11/10 grade! Even sniffing the aroma itself can divert your working systems into a hungry beast.

"You know what Anne, I can vision it from now that you will be the highest-paid Chef someday. You cooked so ugh! I'm lost of adjectives!" said by Sunniva, while rolling her eyes because the food tastes so heavenly.

They continue eating with great relish but still talking about random kinds of stuff. "Yaya, kindly fix the kitchen table. We're off to the sofa now, there are still foods left in the pot. Of course, I don't want you to miss every meal I am cooking." Anneliese called her Yaya who's taking care of her since she was five, because both of her parents are busy with each of their works.

The moment they they seated with the soft white sofa, Elettra throws a question for Fionellanj. "Let's talk about what makes you stop from loving, Anj? I'm just curious who made you feel that way." They all faced Elettra as she leans forward after hearing her question. Fionellanj wasn't expecting Elettra will ask her about that, but she wasn't offended at all. Since this bond is for get-to-know-of-each-other-more, why not telling them the reason behind of 'I Am Not Into Love' saying.

"Hmm, I just don't want something that will hinders me to achieve my goals in life," she effortlessly said besides that's the promise she's keeping for herself.

Fionellanj saw her nod but Elettra continued from asking. Tjis time, she placed her hand below her chin. "What if there's one guy who can change that perspective of yours?"

"Same thing happened in a typical love story? Hahaha!" she answered her teasingly, but later on she gave them her truthful answer.. "To tell you the truth girls, I'm not a man-hater actually, I still do believe that it's possible to happen, I'll meet a guy and so on but my heart will remain close to men because my brain said to focus mainly on studying only." She said and placed the throw pillow on my lap and lean comfortably to the sofa.

"So what happened between you and Maxsimo?" induced by Sunniva.

"There's nothing in between us."

"Really? I thought he courted you?" asked by Anneliese.

"He never intends to. He just asked if he can, but he never did. But I am not waiting for him to do so, because my no stills a no. Boys are boys. They will ask you if is it okay to court you, but if you say no, they would never insist. That will end up right there."

"Yeah, I agree! That's why I only got flings and never commit into a relationshit, like duh!" They all laughed after hearing what Elettra has said.
