You're Alessie?

June entered the bus and spotted Alessie waving happily at her

Wonder what's up with her. 

  " June! "

Alessie called happily. June just sat down, her face void of emotion.

 " June? "

Alessie called again. June turned to her adjusting her glasses.

You'd better give me a good explanation for dashing out yesterday or else....

 " Yes "

 " What's with you? Did you had a fight with your dad? "

Alessie asked cluelessly. 

 " You're really taking me for a disobedient child? "

June asked trying to sound angry. Her voice came out rather calm

 " No, I was just saying "

 " Uh uh "

 " Alright, guess what? "

Alessie said excitedly

 " You brought strawberry tarts? "

June said trying to sound casual.

 " No, my mom didn't get it. Oh, I so wanted those tarts. "

Alessie said dreamingly.

 " But that's not it. "

 " I can't seem to think of anything else Alessie. Spill the beans already. "

 " Alright, alright. Guess what, I'm now a cheerleader! "

Alessie said excitedly. June almost choked on the sandwich she was eating.

 " You, a part of those.... "

They're literally a bunch of pom pom dancers. 

 " Yes, can you believe it? "

Alessie said sreeching. The boy sitting down in front of her turned frowning.

 " Sorry "

June whispered softly. Alessie was still way over the moon, not realizing that the boy was annoyed with her disturbing his .... study time.

 " I'm gonna be the best cheerleader ever. Just wait and see "

Alessie said again, her green eyes sparkling with great excitement.

June cleared her throat.

 " Okay, I hate to spoil the moment but I must let you know that I'm mad at you "

 " Uh? "

Alessie asked confused. She remembered nothing happened between them both that could cause June to be annoyed so what what she referring to? 

 " You actually left me all alone in the library. Do you know how long I waited back there? "

June said rolling her eyes. Guess that's one of the things being a part of Alessie's friends do to you. You tend to roll your eyes often. Just like her.

 " I..... "

Alessie tried to explain but June interjected.

 " You dashed out leaving my innocent mind speechless, and clueless. To think that I stayed back for so long "

Alessie bit her lip innocently making her look cute. She had actually put on the latest lip balm today. It suits her perfectly

 " I'm sorry June"

 " Nah, sorry woun't do a thing. You'll have to make it up to me. "

June said, her face curving into a small yet mysterious smile. 

 " Anything you want princess "

 " You're sounding a whole lot like a special someone "

June teased.

 " June! "

Alessie's eyes widened and her cheeks had turned slight pink.

 " What, I didn't say a thing did i? "

June said adjusting her glasses.

 " Let me just get a hold on you "

Alessie said fuming with embarrassment. June got her right where she was weak.

 " Oh, aren't you Alessie? "

A tall Asian girl asked. Alessie smiled.

 " Hi Lily "

 " Yes she's the one. Her moves were so cool yesterday. She was totally awesome "

Lily explained to her friends. 

 " Wow. It's nice to meet you Alessie. I'm Isabella. Bella for short. "

The girl with an Italian accent said smiling at Alessie. 

No one needed to tell June that Alessie had probably gained some loyal fans. Now what kind of stunt did she pull at the examination? 

 " Catch-up later? "

 " Yup. Bye ladies "

 " Bye Alessie. "

The girls said waving at her. Alessie was surely good at handling paparazzi. It could come in handy.

 " Aren't you.... "

 " Oh June, those girls are my first Fan yet! "

Alessie screamed before June could say anything else. 

did she take a screaming pill before coming this morning

 " Arghh! "

The boy sitting in the first seat groaned as he stood up, looking for another place to sit. With sensible person (s) of course.

 " What's with him? "

Alessie said mindlessly. June could only laugh amazed at how the boy had endured for long. 

 " Alright, time to get off "

June said as she stood up. Alessie and her both got off the bus.

 " What of Hyeran? "

Alessie suddenly asked. 

 " Donno. Think she's no longer taking the bus. Her driver comes to pick her up. "

 " Speaking of the devil "

Alessie chuckled and waved at Hyeran from afar.

 " Hyeran! "

Hyeran smiled as she walked towards them. 

 " Good morning ladies."

She greeted happily. It seems everyone was happy today. June was just an exception.

 " Alessie, I heard you've joined the cheerleading club? "

 " Yeah. I told you I was gonna do it."

 " According to Nicole, you were great. "

Hyeran said giving Alessie a thumbs up. 

 " Just on thing. Cathy's also there "

Alessie said with a frown. Hyeran smirked.

 " Why, did her cousin give her a lift? "

She said mockingly. Alessie laughed.

 " Senior Diana? That I'm not sure of "

Alessie said.

 .

 " Who's Senior Diana? "

 " Cathy's cousin "

Hyeran said blowing off the strand of hair threatening to fall down. She had redid the hair earlier this morning.

 " So Cathy's also a cheerleader? "

 " Yes. She wanted to cause a commotion yesterday but I cleverly stopped her. "

Alessie said with a big smile. June smirked.

 " That's my girl "

 " Cathy stands no chance against you "

Hyeran said and they all laughed. They got to class and Shadra was already there. She was reading like a serious student.

 " Hi Shadra "

Alessie greeted. She waved, not taking her eyes off her book. 

 " You're having a test? "

June asked. She nodded.

 " Say, we're having History today. "

 " I know I failed. "

Alessie said pouting. Just then, teacher Ethan walked in with a small smile plastered on his smug face. 

 " Good morning everyone "

 " Good morning Teacher Ethan "

The class choroused 

  " I must say that concerning the test, you all failed. Except for some rare exceptions "

He said bring out the scripts. Alessie tried to see what was written there or what the other person got. That's all thanks to the good vision she inheritad from her mom.

   " Alright,if you hear your name, step forward to receive your.... "

There was lots of grumblings from the class. Alessie in particular was not even excited to hear the word Test

   " Stephanie Rae "

He started, calling out the names of the class. Alessie felt her stomach churn with each passing moment. Her heart, it was beating so fast

 One thing was that Alessie didn't even know why she was anxious or scared

 It must be her intuition telling her to dash out of the class to avoid embarrassment.

   " June Winters "

Teacher Ethan called this time with a small smile. June approached him, certain that she had passed.

   " You did well Miss Winters. Keep it up "

He said causing a part of the class to applaud her. June had never felt better. Alessie gave a thumbs up.

Then it came.

    " Alessie Vinogrado "

He called this time with a frown. Alessie tried as much as she could to avoid his gaze but nothing was working. 

    " You're Alessie? "

Did he needed to ask? 

    " Yes "

Alessie said, her head bowed low in shame. Teacher Ethan smiled and patted her on the back.

     " Congratulations Miss Vinogrado, you got a straight A "
