Chapter 1: meet me

"Stand up! I know you can hear me Tiffany" I heard my mother's voice in it's full high pitch glory.

Ugggh. I sigh inwardly, please not today. Excuse my sleep and I, is today Monday?

"Won't you stand up and get ready for school"? my mom said with impatience running all through her voice. I got up almost immediately from my bed stretching my arms in between yawns.

"Am up now" I said turning towards her with a smile which was obviously fake. My mom could get quite strict sometimes, I thought inside of me.

"You better be" She replied getting me out of my thoughts. "well your breakfast is ready, I will be expecting you in the dinning room in thirty minutes" she finished not even giving me time to reply before exiting the room.

In to the bathroom I went...

I groaned for the hundredth time while looking for an outfit to wear to school, after all I am Tiffany stone, the girl everybody looked up to every now and then. After a few minutes I finally settled on a blue crop sweater and a stone washed high waist pants. My hair already in a styled Bob, I work my hands then my comb through it and applied my signature everyday makeup. Satisfied with my look, I situated my backpack on my back, then head down the stairs where the aroma of pancakes swirled around my nose. My mom looked up from her plate and gestures to the plate in front of her. Taking it as a sign that the plate is definitely mine, I dig into the heaven called food in front of me, after taking a seat. All thoughts of school forgotten. I mean who likes school after all.

After breakfast I get into my car, desperately wanting to get to school as fast as I could, Being late wasn't really an attribute I want to be associated with. These past days I think the teachers are starting to notice my lateness, which comes from lack of enough rest and late hours sleeping due to somethings that always had to be done before the next morning ( of course it as always being school related stuffs) and then nature can't be cheated they say, sleep always gets back the hours I owe in the mornings (do you now know the reason, I am slowly becoming a latecomer).

Alas, I haven't really said much about myself other than the already established fact that I am Tiffany Stone. My parents own the Stones fashion couture ( which happens to be an A class organization, where wealthy people are the only ones who can afford to visit such a place). My mom happens to run the place after the demise of my father, and obviously she did and is still doing the job really well and one of the best reasons people opt for the Stones is that apart from getting the latest of the latest fashion trends, they can get fashion consultations and get the best fashion sense within a week ( seriously who wouldn't want that) so who doesn't want to be friends with the perfect girl who has it all? ( who said I was anywhere near perfect).

Wow, so fast I am in the school parking lot already, oh how I hate school.

After finding a safe spot to park my sweet BMW, I head out of my car, walking a little too fast. Not even bothering to reply to the usual greetings i get from literally every student that came my way. Now In the hallway I see my friends, Noelle and Justine already standing by my locker, hands flying in the air, with their signature beautiful smiles. I smiled back knowing I wasn't late today, if I was they would already be in their respective classes. On getting to my locker Justine squeezed me into a hug, her long black hair crushing my face in between.

"Good morning" Noelle said in between laughs. Because obviously she knows that Justine was slowly knocking air out of me. Eventually she let's go and asked, facing the two of us "have you guys checked out your schedules for the term"?

"Yes" Noelle and I answered together

"Okay so which subjects are you guys taking for the year" she asked again

"Well"I start", I think I have home economics, calculus, literature in English, social studies and some others that I can't remember".

Noelle nods her head, as a signal to say she has some similar to mine.

"Oh, so you and I only have calculus and English together". She pouts while facing me.

Noelle smiles at this, then said "at least you and I have calculus, English and art together ( we both knew that Justine loves art, so it's definitely one of the many subjects she goes for every year).

"Huh, that's better" Justine said

I checked my wrist watch for the time then gasped " guys , if we don't want to start the first week of school with detention, I think we should get to class( classes are meant to start by eight am and it was already almost eight fifty nine am). Noelle checked her watch too and then she said " Yeah, I think we better get to class".

"So what class do you have first" Justine asked

"Social studies" " commerce" Noelle and I both replied together.

"I have physics, the subject I hate with so much passion" she whined

"Quite whining and go solve some equations" Noelle chirped

"Does physics also have to do with equations, I thought it was only mathematics"? I asked

"Omg, you didn't know all these while" Justine said with amusement

"Of course I do, because I care about physics so much" I rolled my eyes are said sarcastically.

"You guys should quit talking and let us get to class" Noelle stated

"Well then, see you guys during lunch" I said

And with that, we left for our respective classes.

(I so love my friends, I thought to myself). But who wouldn't?
