2| Heyy Friend

January 9th 2017

Mom's loud voice woke me up from my deep sleep, I wonder how she shouts like that without feeling any pains in her throat, I can't deal.

I took my bath, got ready and rushed downstairs, my food was already on the dining table, waiting for me to devour it.

I sat down uncovered the plate and it was the usual, toast and bacon, I'm getting tired already. It's all mom's fault, she's doesn't have time to cook proper food because of her work.

She would make a easy breakfast, eat out in the afternoon and order pizza in the evening. My body system must be tired already.

I heaved a sigh and ate the food before going outside, I waited for five minutes before the school bus arrived. I hopped in and off it went to school.

The bus stopped in front of the school and we all got down. I entered the school and some people were giving me a weird look, I held on to my backpack, kept my head down and continued walking.

I walked towards my designated locker and opened it and took out my Math and English textbook.

I really hope I pass the assignment, I don't want a bad first impression, I made my way to class in haste.

Morning classes went awfully boring, I picked up my bag and went straight to the school cafeteria. It was filled to the brim, I couldn't have my lunch in the cafe.

So I decided to buy my food and take it to the library, I don't know if it's against their rules here. I bought my favorite sandwich and the same pack of juice I bought yesterday.

The library is big with different wooden shelves filled with books, there are chairs also and tables. The library had a 90's touch to it, on the walls were old paintings and sculptures and also duplicate of original works of some famous artists.

I walked to the chair at the far end of the library and took my seat, I brought out the sandwich and took a bite out of it. I took out my phone from my bag and opened my Webnovel app and started reading a book I was already interested in.

"No eating in the library, miss". A voice said.

I raised my head up to look at who it is, my eyes met a man, he looked like he's in his late teens. His he was brown skinned just like me, his curls were properly defined and he was putting on a pair of dress pants and a short sleeved shirt which was tucked into his trousers. He had a pair of sneakers on which matched his outfit perfectly.

What's a guy of his age doing here? Is he a student?

"Um, sorry. I wasn't aware, do I have to pay a fine or something?"

"Yes". He folded his arms and stared at me.

"Ur, what is the fine?" I drop my sandwich on the wrapping paper.

"Your juice". He simply replied.

My juice? What the flip?

"What do you mean by 'your juice'?" I asked confused.

"Your juice means your juice, the one you're holding".

"But you said no eating in the library, sir".

"Oh please don't call me sir, I might be a librarian in a school that has been in existence for long but I'm not old".

"Yeah, I can see that". I replied.

"Hmm, can I have my juice now?"He demanded.

"Your juice?"

"Yup!" He took his seat on the chair opposite mine and grabbed my juice.

I looked at him in shock, who does he think he is? He opened it and gulped on it, on my juice!

"So, what's your name?" He asked.

"You just hijacked my juice and you're asking for my name!"

"Correction! My juice".

"You deceived me, there's no such thing as a fine yeah? You just wanted my juice".

"You're really smart, my dear friend". He chuckled.

"You're unbelievable". I shook my head.

"So, I'm Dre. What's your name?"

"Lana". I said.

"Nice name, you're new here right?"

"Yeah".

"Made new friends yet?"

"Nahh". I said before taking a bite from my sandwich

"It's going to hard in a way love".

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing, never mind. How about you make your first friend today?"

"How? Who?" I asked.

"Me, you're looking at the world best friend material". He smirked.

"Hmm, ok". I replied, a little uncertain about my decision.

"Great! Let's shake to that". He extended his hands . "Friends?"

I shook his hands replied "Friends".
