Chapter

  6:30 AM in the morning and my alarm started to burst off beside my ear. I had to wake up early because of my finals. Today is my first exam and I'm all prepared to pass this semester with flying colors and FINALLY get out of this boring school.

  I jumped out of bed and rushed to the washroom because I have to revise all my chapters. “You can do it Hazel, trust yourself! You can do it!” I comforted myself while brushing my teeth, mumbling some much-needed encouraging words.

  I have been quite unfortunate with my experiences in life but I hope today is the day when I will break that pattern of misfortune.

  I Stood in front of the mirror and brushed my long shiny black hair. Instead of braids I decided on a ponytail. I checked myself and brushed of any invisible dust off my uniform. I applied tint over my rosy cheeks, and my favorite lip gloss on my beautiful plump lips. I was often complemented for my blue eyes with a hint of grey which I got from my mom , but due to lack of sleep during exams I sadly ruined their beauty and gifted myself huge eyes bags under them.

  I loved dressing up for no reason but just to please myself .

  I wasn't a fan of the way I looked in my uniform, you can say I always felt quite uncomfortable with the way I looked in it . Well, Who cares school is about to end anyways.

  I am wearing my perfectly ironed uniform that is a long sleeve button down collared white shirt with a red tie which is paired along with a black skirt that has white stripes on it and reaches just above my knees.

  I made sure that I had all my school supplies in my pink pouch. “Pencil - check, eraser - check, scale – check, sharpener – check, pens – check. And ... we're good to go!” I hum satisfied.

  I careened down the stairs. “Are you ready for your exam Hazel? I hope you have revised your chapters’’. My mother inquired. "Yes, Mama I am ready. I will make sure to revise all my chapters after I finish my breakfast”.

  I had my favorite cookie crisp chocolate cereal; in a few minutes I finished my breakfast peaceably.

  “English has always been my favorite subject and I'm going to nail it today”. I have been anxiously waiting for my English exam and been preparing with Jacqueline, who is my one and only best friend.

  I never believed in true friendships until I met Jacqueline. She is one of a kind. A genuinely caring, loving, kind, supportive, and sometimes the person to give extremely idiotic advices. She has a crazy sense of humor that astonishes me sometimes.

  She was a beautiful 16 year girl with a joyous personality. A glossy skin , Beautiful dark eyes with a lot of light in them . Long shiny hair that she styled in many different ways . She was multi talented and a very ambitious girl.

  She is the person that I can always count on. One day I got into an argument with my parents and cried myself to sleep. I couldn't catch up with all the updates on my social media accounts and obviously, I didn't check my phone all day. She got extremely worried and rushed to my home the other morning.

  I was a very emotionally sensitive person, and such incidents would give me a very hard time and the worst anxiety. I was sleeping peacefully and my room was locked, I had no clue about how long I had been sleeping for as I took some pills to relax my anxiety. I heard some loud knocks on my door but I thought I was dreaming about it, when it was actually Jacqueline who was trying to burst into my room. I woke up from my deep sleep and ran towards the door.

  “I’m coming! Calm down !!” I responded furiously

  I opened the door with anger, but when I saw Jacqueline my anger got swept away and turned into tears. I couldn’t hold back my emotions when I saw Jacqueline standing in front of me. I hugged her like never before, she hugged me tightly and said, “don’t worry, I’m here now. are you alright?” Her warm hug made me forget all my tension. Her kind words were like medicine to my pain.

  I welcomed her into my room, we both sat and had our favorite cold coffee. She consoled me and said that such small things shouldn’t effect me so much because my health can get worse by this all. She left my home in the evening.

  I checked my phone after she left, and I had 50 text messages with 10 missed calls of Jacqueline. I couldn't believe that I have a person who genuinely cares for me. This was the day when I realized that Jacqueline is the person that I can call my true friend. I always had a small circle because I'm into quality not quantity. I'm extremely proud to have Jacqueline as my friend.

  I don't trust a lot of people because I think that I will end up hurting my own sentiments because of them, but Jacqueline was a person whom I could trust blindly. Jacqueline and I discovered a lot of things together and actually had a lot of adventures in our school. I never thought life could be so much fun because of one person. I was the good girl who used to sit in one corner of the class who focused in getting good grades and was quiet most of the times.

  But Jacqueline , She was a crazy soul who knew to have fun in any situation . She made my school days so much better . She often came over and we did combine studies . Studying with her was 10 times easier and fun . I personally believe that a person should study what he/she has complete interest in .

  We both studied all day and night for our finals . Well , Hope our grades turn out good.

  This is my first attempt to write a book , I’m looking forward for your kind comments , I’ve worked really hard for this, hope you’ll love it .
