1 Chapter 1: Our meeting

"Alyssa!" the students shouted as i walk through the hallway. Im so tired of this. I just want a normal life like everyone has. "Alysa, notice us" the boys said. I look at them and suddenly the boy infront passed out. I went there to help.

"Hey, are you okay?" i asked as his face started to turn red for some reasons. "Y-yes" he said as i help him stand up. "Be careful next time" i said and continue walking.

"Morning!" i said as soon as i reach our classroom. "Morning!" they greeted back. "Alyssa!!!!" Dahlia shouted as she charges towards me but i avoided it. "Meanie" she said and then hug me. "How's the vacation?" she asked while laughing.

"More like hell" i said as i sit down on our desk. "I heard that your dad will make you run the company after you graduate. Goodluck lol" she said. I look at her then smirked. "As if you're different" i said that makes her pout. "Fine, I'll stop" she said and sat down beside me.

"Is he still courting you?" she asked. I sighed and look at her. "Yeah, im kinda tired of it" i said. "Why dont you say yes? Its been 2 years since he started courting you" she said. I looked at the window beside me and look at the sky. "Nah, im okay. Besides, i dont like him. I mean i dont love him" i said as i continue to watch the movements of the clouds.

I hear her sigh. "Alyssa, you're already 17 years old. You need to enjoy your life sometimes. Do some fun things like skipping classes and disobeying your parents" she said that makes me laugh. Dahlia is the type of girl who likes to have fun. She has a lot of friends and also have many pursuers. Her parents often yells at her cause she always ditch classes and disobey them. While me, the quiet yet popular student. Everyone's role model. So-called perfect but infact imperfect. We were opposite but we're friends.

"Nah, i dont want to get yelled and besides i am enjoying my life and having fun" i said.

'but am i?' i asked myself

•~•~•~•

After class, i am alone again. Dahlia went to Harrison, her boyfriend. I went at the back of the building where there is a big tree. I go there whenever dahlia is not around. I brought my art materials and sketchbook then sat down under the shade of the tree. I started to look around to find something to draw. I've always wanted to be an artist but im not that confident about my abilities even though my parents hired someone to teach me to draw since i was 10.

While i was looking around, a cat went near me. I decided to draw it but before i finished drawing the bell rang which means the break time's over. I pet the cat and went back to our classroom.

"Where have you been?" Dahlia asked. "Nowhere" i said and sat down beside her. I looked through the window and watch the soccer club play. "I envy you guys" i said in my mind.

"What do you mean by that?" Dahlia asked. Oh no, i said it out loud. "Nothing" i said and continue to watch the soccer club. I hope i could play like them. I smile bitterly.

After the afternoon class, i walked around the campus alone. Dahlia went 'again' to Harrison. I grab my camera and started to take photos of some random stuffs. My parents aren't the type of parents who would show their affection but they care for me secretly. I remembered that my nanny before asked me of what do i want to be besides being an artist. I answered that i want to be a photographer or a traveler or a pianist. Then the next day, my parents bought me a camera, art materials, and a grand piano. I was surprised at that time cause i thought that they didn't care about me. They hired people to teach me how to draw, how to play different instruments and many more.

"That's enough for today" i said as i went back to my locker to put back my art materials. I walk beside the field. The soccer club is practicing again. I grabbed my camera once again and take a picture but suddenly a ball came out of nowhere.

"Look out!!" a guy said but it's too late. The ball already hit my head. "Hey, are you okay?" the guy said. I can't see him clearly cause my sight started to spin then it went black.

~•~•~•~

"Ugh, my head" i said as soon as i woke up. "What the hell happened?" i said. "Oh you're awake" a guy said. "Im sorry for hitting you" he said coldly.

"Ah it was fine. Besides its my fault for not being cautious" i said and smile. He nodded. "If it's okay, i will go now. I still have practice. Once again, im sorry" he said and leave.

'Okay that was kinda rude' i said to myself. I get up and get my things but something's missing. "Oh where's my camera?" i said and started to search for it.

"Oh found it" i said but it was already broken. I sighed and pick it up. There is a note saying, "Im sorry for breaking this. I'll pay for this tommorow"

"Is he really serious? Well, i dont need him to pay for this. I'll just ask dad to buy me a new one" i said and put the broken camera to my bag. My phone rang.

"Miss, where are you? Its already late. We'vee been waiting here for 3 hours. We were worried" my nanny said. "Oh uhm i kinda sleep at our classroom. I'll be there in 2 minutes" i said and hung up. I took off the bandage in my head and head out.

"Miss, we were so worried" my nanny said. "Sorry for worrying you" i said and went inside the car.

~•~•~•~•~

"Why did you come home late?" my mom said as i enter our house. "Something came up at school" i said. I looked at her worried face but she didn't went near me. "Oh okay. We change your clothes. We have a dinner in two hours with your uncle" mom said then i nodded and went upstairs.

I took out my camera and transfer the data in my computer. I look at the last photo i took and sigh. "Why does it have to be the rude guy?" i asked in frustration. The last photo i took was his face looking at the camera. But for some reasons, im kinda happy.
