Alarm was ringing*

Turning off the alarm clock*

“ My name is Sienna Florezt” , 16 years old, I’m already in senior high school and this is the first day of school.

Sienna: I realized it’s already 6:50 am, so I'm hurrying to go to school.

Sienna arrived at her classroom exact 7:00 am, the teacher was about to call her name, when she arrived the teacher said she may sit down. While Sienna was sitting on her chair, someone was staring at her.

Sienna mind: why do I feel someone was looking at me-

Suddenly Sienna turns around and she and the guy’s eye meet. And the guy looked away, Sienna turned her attention back to the teacher, suddenly her seatmate asked.

???: what’s wrong Sienna?

Sienna: n-nothing Angela, I thought the guy just looked at me just now-

Suddenly the bell rang, the class was starting. Sienna was trying to focus on their lesson but the guy at her back was still staring at her. After the two periods of classes, Sienna and Angela go to the cafeteria, Angela leaves and buys food while Angela is gone, Sienna notices the guy again that he is still looking at her and she approaches him and asks:

Sienna: uhmm why do y-you- keep looking at me?

???: no I didn’t

The guy looked at Sienna in blank expression and Sienna went back to the table where Angela was waiting.

Angela: Sienna, where have you been?

Sienna: I just went to the restroom

She and Angela were eating their food, a minute later they went back to their classroom. A teacher said

you guys need to find a partner to do homework and the deadline was next week Monday, ms Florezt and mr Mendoza will be partners. Sienna was confused why he was her partner and the guy just looked at her with a blank expression. After school Sienna walks in the hallway with him. Sienna looked at him, the guy felt annoyed and said:

???: why do you keep staring at me?

Sienna was startled, she said:

Sienna: w-where are we going to do the project?

Dear Diary,

I went to school at about 7 am, I thought I’ll

be late, gladly I made it before the class started. It’s also

strange because a guy at my back keeps staring at me. And he’s also my partner on the project, I hope this project will be well and it will be finished early.

Tomorrow morning Sienna arrived at her school early, she saw the guy who fell asleep at his chair. Sienna suddenly said:

Sienna: g-good- morning,

Sienna: would you like to share food with me?

Sienna looked at him, the guy suddenly opened her food and started eating. Sienna looked at him and smiled, both of them are sharing the food. After they finished eating, the guy went back to sleep again.

Sienna’s mind: what? That’s all? You didn’t even thank me??? Is this guy serious-
