Chapter 1
Hey, I'm Betty. Let me tell you a little about my life before the story continues. I live in Singapore. I am fourteen years old. I am going to tell you how my boring life turned into a rollercoaster by meeting a French boy before going on a summer break on an island.
Beep-Beep-Beep alarm, I could hear something beeping while I was in a deep sleep then my eyes opened. I picked up my phone from my bedside to see that it was almost 10 O'clock. I jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom. "OH MY GOSH, I AM LATE FOR SCHOOL, THEY ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO SUSPEND ME THIS TIME 😰".
I finished bathing and walked out of the bathroom to see my mom waiting for me in my bedroom. "You better be downstairs in the next 10 minutes, otherwise you will walk to school",Mom said. I started panicking and wore my school uniform without ironing it. I rushed downstairs looking in a mess. I heard the noise of a car and ran outside. I quickly opened the car door and jumped in out of breath😧.
20 minutes later, we got to school. I was so scared to get down because of how messed up I looked. I took a deep breath and got down from the car. As I got down, I saw a group of people gathered at the notice board. Then I saw my bestie, Katie waving to me to come over. I walked over to the crowd and saw on the notice board, SUMMER BREAK ON AN ISLAND. My mood lit up on seeing the poster. I was so excited and so was Katie.
Everyone was talking about it. We were talking about what we will bring until the teachers came to dismantle us and said that we should go to class. "Why are you looking in a mess like that ", asked Katie. Isn't it my mom always rushing to do things? I didn't even get my makeup done because of her, I said angrily 😠. Our first class was PE. We changed into our PE clothes and went to the basketball court.
Before we started class, the PE teacher introduced a new student to the class saying that his name is Francis and he is from France. When I looked at him, it was like love at first sight 😍. He looked so handsome with his blonde hair and green eyes. He looked like an angel fallen from heaven and not to talk about his lips, perfectly shaped. I felt like touching those lips.
I didn't realize I was staring too much at his lips because when I looked at his eyes again, he was looking directly at me. I almost lost my balance but likely Katie was by my side. He smiled and I felt goosebumps all over my body. I started to blush and I quickly looked away because I didn't want him to see that I was blushing😳. "Gurl why is your face red like a tomato, don't tell me you are crushing on the new guy", said Katie.
"Oh no why should I, he is not even my type, remember I go have curly hair guys". Katie looked at me sus. After PE class, we went to change. In the changing room, the girls started talking about the new kid, Francis and how he is very rich. It seems all the girls are crushing on the new guy. I heard he has dated a lot of girls, katie said. Really, but he looks so innocent.
Yea, that's how every bad boy looks. After changing, we went to cafeteria for our snack. I saw the new guy surrounded by so many people. I never got attention like that when I first come to this school so why is he getting so much attention, Katie said with a frown on her face. I just giggled at her. I am starving, let's go and stand in the line before it gets long. After I got my food I looked around for an empty space Katie and I could sit. Then suddenly I bumped into the someone and my whole tray of food poured on the floor.
"OMG,I am so sorry I wasn't looking, i said. I looked up to see it was Francis, the new kid. I was so lost in his eyes that I didn't notice that people were staring at us. He cleared his throat to get my attention. I quickly snapped out of it and apologised once again. I picked out the food on the floor and placed on the tray. I walked away to go and throw my food in the bin, looking at him one last time before walking off.
I felt so embarrassed Katie approached me and asked what happened. I explained to her that i dumped into Francis. "Hahaha" , is that why your cheeks are so red, you like him, don't you? No, of course why would I like someone I just met today. Hmm, okay, Katie said. I got a new tray of food and we went to sit on. While eating I couldn't help but think about the embarrassing way I met Francis. Girl, are you going to eat your food or what, Katie said. What are you thinking about .
Oh nothing, I said.
