THE NEXT DAY

ALICE

The first day of school...
How horrid.
Alice groaned in frustration as her Rilakkuma alarm clock let out a piercing sound that will make her ears bleed anytime soon. She slammed the top of the Rilakkuma head lazily and it instantly stopped. Silence instantly filled the room, along with the sounds of her step sister, Liza, taking an early shower in the next room. She opened one eye and blinding sunlight blurred her vision for a few seconds. She sat up, swaying back and forth from sleepiness. Then, her eyes were wide awake. She's forgetting something... Something very important that she can't quite put her finger on. Then it hit her. Today was the first day of school! She quickly looked at the time on her alarm clock and to her horror, she was almost late. "No!" Alice cried and then jumped out of the bed and ran to the bathroom to do her business.
After about ten minutes, Alice arrived at the school, panting madly with her hair bouncing around from being unbrushed. Once she caught her breath, she looked at the time on her phone and sighed with relief. She was five minutes early. She glanced around, looking for someone familiar. Someone named James, her best guy friend. She didn't see him anywhere and sighed in disappointment. At least she has a few minutes left to make new friends. She glanced around again, looking for anyone that might seem interesting, or even better, a cute-looking male. She then noticed someone that caught her eye. His outfit was a bit plain though, but his face and hair made him look adorable, like a little angel.
She did a toothy grin and walked up to him, trying to act casual. "Hello! My name is Alice! What's your name?" Alice asked, failing to pretend to be casual and letting out a goofy, cute grin.
The male looked up, earplugs connected to his ears and the wires traveling down to his music player in his pocket. He did a slight smile, making him a lot more cuter and making Alice's heart flutter. "My name's Rue," He said casually, showing no interest of love which made Alice's spirit go down just a tad. They did just met after all and not everyone believes in love at first sight.
Alice continued grinning like an idiot, "Not trying to be a stalker or anything, but what classes do you have?" Alice blurted out, absently digging into her backpack for her piece of paper that had her schedule on it.
Rue took out a folded up paper from his pocket and unfolded it, showing it to Alice while still doing a slight grin.
Alice finally found her paper and then compared them, looking at them with her thinking face that makes her look like a little kid doing a hard math problem. "Oh! You have almost every period with me except period four and eight!" Alice said happily.
Rue nodded, "That's good. I'll have a friend to walk with and sit next with in classes," Rue said, continuing to smile.
Alice felt her heart beat faster and she handed the paper back to him with excitement. Did he just call her... his friend? Yay! She leveled up to the level of friendship!
"Yeah," Alice said with a bigger smile.
James watched from afar in his black car, his hands clenching on the wheels furiously. He silently turned off the engine and sat there... feeling hopeless with his love of his life.
