Always

Chapter Two

I looked into mirror to see reflection of myself, twirled around and gave myself a full glance. I smiled in satisfy that I dressed in my favorite color sundress. I put a light make up for not over make up because to school might be in proper attire and make up. I smiled through the mirror and gave myself final glance then put on my white cardigan and ready to go downstairs and have my breakfast.

"Good morning dad, Good morning mum." I greeted them politely. My parents were strict on my manners. "Good morning." both of them smiled and replied then continue their breakfast. All of us just finish our breakfast quietly because talking when having meal is not allowed. My parents thought that was too rude.

Once I had done my breakfast, I am excited that I finally could go out and get away from the boring house. "Bye dad, bye mum." I bid goodbye from them and quickly left to school. I was not born in rich family, my parents were old fashioned minded and they cared too much of their reputations. Besides, they were workaholic.

Somehow, I felt like I lacked of bonding time with them. They always busy their works and left me at home alone. We only have our bonding time on every Sunday and we so call family day. However, our conversations were boring. My mum always loves to teach me how to be ladylike while my dad loves to teach me business knowledge. They had never asked me 'How are you?' 'Is everything ok?' 'Do you have make any new friends?' none of these topics they would talk.

Their topics usually were 'You should learn piano' 'You should learn how to dance' 'You should plan your future' I sighed with all the words they had thrown on my face. Thankfully my school only 10 minutes away from my house by walking distance. I prefer to walk because I could enjoy the beautiful scenery of Manhattan. Today is my first day to start my class after shifted from England. I'm glad I could enjoy four season at here because I could enjoy spring and summer.

While entered the school I saw the corridor flooded with students running and rushing to their classrooms. Some couple having chit chat and holding each other lovingly. The environment at here was so different from my previous school. My previous school was a private school, we had uniform and all students were behaved. However here, I saw that every student were care free like they could do whatever they wanted. I actually prefer this kind of school because I could feel free and easy.

However had one thing caught me off guard. The girl with long brown wavy hair was wearing flannel shirt, black skinny jeans and Dr Martin Boots. Her back was facing me and she was talking to a red hair girl who was wearing long sleeve fitting tshirt, denim shorts and red high heels. Both of them were full of intimation and they don't act like normal friends.

The girl in red hair keeps touching the brunette and smiled with her in flirtation. I full of curiosity of how the brunette looks like, she might be stunning because I saw the red hair girl batting her eyelashes to her and I cringed. I gasped when I witnessed the red hair girl kissed the brunette, I tried to ignore their intimated and quickly head to the administration to register my enrolment.

***************

After done, I tried to find my locker. To my surprise the brunette still at the same spot. She looked like just finished talking with someone. When the brunette turned back I was stunned by her look.

I finally could see her looks now, she have a pair of dazzling greens eyes, straight nose, her long wavy brown hair cascading down in naturally show off her beautiful heart shape face.

The way she smile is gorgeous. She have the wild and daring look which is attractive. Now I know why just now the red hair girl was so into her. Excuse me? Why would I think like that? Yes, I sometime will admire the girls' beauty but not in that way.

I ignored my weird thoughts I smiled at her politely then quickly turned to my locker to find my books. After I get my books I ready to find my classroom. I shocked that my locker door was shut by a delicate hand.

When I turned around I nearly heart attack, the brunette's face only a few inches away from me. What was going on? Why I feel so panic and intimate whenever I was facing her? I felt the heat rush to my face and that was so embarrassing.

"Good morning, princess." I was surprised her voice so angelic. Why on earth have a perfect person like her? She just like a goddess and she could be the model of magazine cover. I should stop thinking now I quickly mumbled "Morning" and ready to leave this awkwardness but her next word caused me off guard "Wanna have a date?" I begged your pardon? A date? Supposed this question was a guy ask me.

This is my first encounter and I shrugged it off. I used my palm held her chest and tried to remove her away from me "No, I don't. I'm sorry." I shoved her away lightly and quickly rushed to classroom before tardy bell ring. What on earth was going on? A girl asked me for a date? Seriously?

**************

I shoved my books into my locker and shut the door and huffed in frustration. Why was that brunette such a flirt? She already had a date but still flirting me around. Besides, I could see the way she looked at my math teacher made me rolled my eyes. She was such a pervert, that was gross. I almost wanna screamed out loud in frustration

"Hey." I flinched after snapped by a voice then i quickly turned around and I saw a boy with black hoodie, denim jeans, plain white sport shoe. His hair in curl and he was quite good looking too. At least I saw someone friendly and cool not like that pervert girl.

"Hi" I greeted him politely "Erm, do you need help? You look like lost." he chuckled "I'm Eddie anyway, which class are you going? Maybe I could take you to your class?" he pulled out his hand and waited for me to shake his hand "I'm Erica, nice to meet you. I ah-" he gasped "Are you Erica Robinson the new girl?"

I furrowed my eyebrows in confuse and nodded my head "Yea." he chuckled "Ah my friend has talked to me about you. She was your classmate." I blinked my eyes "Andrea Holland is your friend?" he smiled and nodded his head "Yea, I'm her best friend. I was curious how you look like. She nonstop talked about you when we met just now."

I rolled my eyes and he chuckled "Why you gave me that look?" I sighed "Don't you think she is quite irritated? She is so conceit and I'm sorry. I am talking your best friend's bad things. Let's just drop it." I shook my head "It's fine. Well, she admitted herself was a player but she seems like into you. Anyway, besides she is a player, she is a nice girl. She's cool to be friend with."

I only nodded my head "I'll try being friend with her then." he smiled "So, which class are you going?" "French" I smiled "Oh we are going to the same class, come on we could go together." he offered and I smiled "Okay, thank you and nice to meet you, Eddie." he grinned "Nice to meet you too, Erica."
