Helena's POV:
I woke up extra early today so I can get ready to impress him. I made my bed and straightened my hair to the point where it looked burnt once again. Where the fuck is my eyeliner? I don't have time for this bullshit! "Oh, there it is." I mumbled under my breath. It was right beneath my bed. I got drunk last night while my mom wasn't home and probably dropped it. When done, I put on lip gloss and put on a cute outfit that was revealing enough for any man to stare at my breasts. I just want him to notice me. We've been friends ever since I entered this hell hole of a world, and my feelings grow deeper and stronger for him each day.
When finished getting ready, I crept down the stairs and grabbed an orange. They've always been one of my favorite fruits. I quickly looked around for my mother and noticed she wasn't here, like always.
I glanced around one more time just to make sure and grabbed the money on top of the fridge. Dammit, only $50? Whatever, that's enough to buy me some cigarettes.
I can't wait to see him! I grabbed my bag and ran to the bus stop on our block. There were already a few people waiting impatiently for it to come. Thank god I wasn't late, or else I would've had to run after it like every other day.
20 minutes later.
It was finally here. I walked up the short stairs and found myself a seat. Great, I had to sit with another pervert again.
He keeps staring at my tits. I gave him a dirty look, and he quickly looked away. I put my lavender bag on top of my thighs for the rest of the ride.
At school.
I jumped out of the bus and rushed to the school gates. Looking around the school yard impatiently, I found him and ran, my clean, white sneakers stepping on the wet grass.
"Hey Leo!" I said. Oh, he was talking to another girl which caused him not to hear me. I stood in silence for about ten seconds before walking inside to my homeroom in disappointment.
Walking the hallways of my school and seeing a dozen people stare at me up and down with a look of disgust on their face wasn't surprising to me. I was considered the 'try hard' of the school. Surprisingly, I didn't care much since it wasn't them that I was doing it for. It was him. And only him.
Entering class was such a pain. All of the people I hated most were there, the only reason I came here was because of Leo, except no one knows that.
I grabbed a chair and sat behind his desk. Right after I took my seat, he entered the room and it suddenly felt as if all of my problems faded into the back of my mind just at the sight of him. I beamed happily and waved at him. He waved back and gave me a warm smile. I think I was blushing because my face suddenly felt hot and as if all of my blood rushed to my face. Trying to calm down was a struggle but it worked. I can't let people find out my undying feelings for him, or else my reputation is going to go even further down the line that says 'success'.
