My alarm clock rang and I woke up, feeling the absence beside me. Guess Hunter had already went to school already. I got up from bed and stretch my arms while yawning. I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. Afterwards, I decided on wearing a plain white t-shirt with my skinny jeans. I look at my now blonde hair, smiling. I tied it in a braid to keep it need. I wanted my face to be as natural as possible. So, I just wore some concealer, mascara and lip gloss. Once I was done, I grabbed my bag and head downstairs.

I saw my mom downstairs, probably making me coffee and toasted bread with baked beans and scrambled eggs. My face lit up as I saw the delicious food in front of me. I quickly went to the table and sat down, devouring almost all of what's on the plate. I heard my mom chuckled at me and I returned the smile.

"Where's dad?" I asked, noticing that my dad wasn't at the couch.

"He's still at bed, snoring through his sleep," My mom replied, chuckling at her husbands silliness.

I admired how my mom really love my dad and how my dad really love my mom. I wish I could have a husband and loving him with all my heart. Hunter. My conscience said. The thought of him alone made me blush causing my mom to raise an eyebrow.

"Thinking of someone?" My mom said playfully, smiling.

I shook my head, embarrassed at my own mom asking me.

My mom laughed and look at  someone behind me.

"Morning honey," My mom greeted.

"Morning," My dad replied, smiling.

My dad kissed the top of my head and went towards my mom kissing my mom on the cheeks. My mom's cheek reddened and now, it's my turn to chuckle.

"So, what's the gossip about? Was it something about my little girl finally liking a guy?" My dad said, wiggling his eyebrows at me.

"I'm not little anymore! Plus, I've dated a guy before," I protested

"Yeah which lasted about two days," My dad mocked, chuckling.

"Not my fault that his breath smelled bad and when I kissed him, he tasted like fish," I stated, gagging as I recalled the memory.

"So who's the lucky guy now?" My dad asked again.

"Probably Hunter," My mom said to my dad, who obviously laughed.

My cheeks were literally on fire. I quickly took a sip on my coffee and head out after saying goodbye to my mom and dad.

I plug both of my ear with my earpiece, whistling the lyrics and sighing. I just wished I had took a driving license so that I could buy a car and ride to school everyday instead of walking. As I trudged my way towards school, I thought of my mom and dad.

Other than Hunter, my parents are the ones thats really important in my life. Without them, I would be very lonely in this world. I still remember when I was 4, my mother was expecting a new baby sister and we were all over the moon when we heard the news especially me. Only to hear that my mom had a miscarriage. We were all devastated, but, we got over it in a year or so. I thought what would it be like to have a sibling. Is it fun? Is it frustrating? I guess I will never know.

Being an only child sucks and sometimes, the most apparent disadvantage of being an only child is the feeling of loneliness. Not having a sibling to play with regularly and I always find the difficulty in making new friends when I was younger until Hunter came around.

When I thought of my parents again, I smiled. Other than being my parents, they are my best friends. Always entertaining me and making jokes here and there. My dad is always giving me advice on how to find the boyfriend of your dream while My mom is always fangirling with me about the hot boys in the magazines. My dad don't mind because he knows he is always in her heart. Which is really adorable.

I sometimes get jealous at my mom and my dad because their affection for each other is so strong that no one can break them apart from each other. Both of them are like butt cheeks. Even if there are always crap between them, they always stick together.

"Kitty!" Someone said, cutting me off from my thoughts. 

Obviously knowing it's Hunter, I purposely pretend not to hear him and walked faster. Hunter eventually caught up with me with his long legs and hugged me from behind.

I shrieked and replied with a shaky voice, "Yes?"

"I'm sorry kitty. I swear I didn't mean it yesterday," He said, his voice muffled by my hair.

"Um... Okay... You can let me go now," I said hesitantly.

His arms around me felt great and comfortable and I wish we could stay like this forever. But when I glance around, I saw people looking at us. I wish they could mind their own them business. Its literally 8 o'clock in the morning.

"Not until you said that I'm forgiven," He finally replied.

"You're serious right now? Just let me go," I said, trying to push his hands that was around my stomach, away.

"Nope," He said and I could sense him smirking. "I actually would be glad to stay like this all day," He added.

Me too. Was what I wanted to say but instead, I groan and said,

"You're fricking forgiven Puppy," I said in a monotone way.

He finally let go only to pull my hand and turn me around to face him. He lean in closer to my ear and my cheeks heat up. I felt like a tomato right now.

"Your late," Was all he say.

I glance at my watch and it says 8.10am. Five more minutes till my class start. Oh no- I let go of Hunters hand and ran as fast as my leg could take me.

When I reached, I checked the time and it says '8.13'. Woah I'm quite fast. I thought to myself. I speed walk to my locker and took out my English books. Just when the bell rang. Phew. Right on time!

I went in the English class and sat on the back of the class avoiding everyone. Soon after, my English teacher,Ms Jay came in and start the lesson. I almost fell asleep but I jolted awake by the sound of the classroom door opening.

"Mr Stone, Mr Evans and Mr Hyde, why are you late?" Ms Jay said, sternly.

All the class attention is now on the three boys. Oh wait- did I forget to mention that Hunter is in the same English class as me? He was assigned to seat beside me and it's kind of hard to focus when he's seating beside me since he's always disturbing me.

"We got caught on a traffic jam," One of Hunter friends said who I think the name is James.

"Woke up late," Hunter and the other guy whom I don't know the name said in unison.

"Detention! It's been your third time," My Jay said, shaking her head slowly.

"Whatever Ms detention freak," James said loudly.

The class burst into fit of giggles while Ms Jay just grunted in response. I don't even find it funny and I felt bad for Ms Jay. The chair beside me scrapped across the floor and Hunter sat down beside me.

"Why were you late?" I asked when Ms Jay started talking.

"I waited for the boys," He replied.

"You forgiven me right?" He asked looking at me.

"Yeah... Or not," I replied, smirking.

"If we weren't in a classroom right now, I would have chase you around the house until you say you forgiven me," He jokes.

"And?" I challenged.

"Then I will-" He started but was cut off by Ms Jay.

"Mr Stone and Ms Stilton! What are you discussing about?" She shouted across the classroom.

Nevermind I take back what I said about me feeling bad for her.

"About you being pretty,"Hunter said and the girls in the class was being all 'aww'.

How is that even cute?!

Ms Jay rolled her eyes and continued the lesson.

"Ugly," Hunter muttered under his breath.

I covered my laugh with a cough. Hunter noticed and smiled at me. An hour passed by and finally, it's my free period time. I walked through the empty hallways towards the library. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw my ex best friend, Charles and my worst enemy ever, Ashely. They were all being all girly and giggling about something in their phone.

Suddenly my nose started to feel itchy. Please don't sneeze, please don't sneeze, please don't sneeze! But too late.

"Achoo!"

Both of their heads turn to look at me. Their smile was wipe off from their face and is now replaced with a smirk as they slowly walk towards me.

That's when I realised- I'm into some deep shit
