ESTELLE

It's been around 2 hours since English class started. I've been trying my best to stay awake for those 2 hours. Ugh, I am so regretting staying up late just to finish watching that Kdrama. Now, I can't even process what the teacher's been talking about.

No. Okay, I need to focus. I need to at least understand even just a bit of today's lesson. But of course, no matter how hard I try listening I can't stop my eyes to close as my head keeps bobbing up and down.

"Hey, Stellie babes, stop sleeping or you'll really get caught by Ms. James," Zarina whispered in my ears. Getting disturbed by her, I opened my eyes and looked at the front where Ms. James was.

"Oh my, I really am sleepy," I replied."Thank god, Ms.James didn't see me." I exhaled.

"You know, you shouldn't have finished those 16 episodes in one night just because you got hooked," Zarina said while still keeping her eyes on the front of the class.

"Well, you shouldn't have recommended it to me," I retorted.

"Stellie babes, you really are adorable. Well, next time, don't binge watch a drama during weekdays when there are classes." She said while chuckling.

Yep, I guess she's right. My bad.

Zarina, this person, is my best friend. We've known each other since grade school and since then have been with each other. She's probably the person, who probably knows me better than I do.

*Ring*

bell ringing

Yes! end of class. I am so hungry right now that I can't wait to buy food and gobble it up.

Estelle and Zarina walked in the hallways of Elkwood Academy as they find their way to the cafeteria. Elkwood Academy is probably one of the most elite schools in their area. With facilities that are top-notch and students who are also very elite. Most of the students studying here are from the upperclassmen, children of rich and prominent people go here. As this school provides the best facilities and education the tuition fee is also very high. Even though this is a very expensive school to go to, they also provide scholarships for students with very talented minds.

As Estelle and Zarina walked through their way, they were called by a group of girls. A few of the cheerleaders led by Mindy--- the popular girls of the school. Although when talking about cheerleaders, we always think of them as those bratty girls who only know how to look pretty and stay pretty. Mindy and her group, are actually friendly and accommodating.

"Hey, my loves! Are you getting food?" Mindy shouted.

"Oh Mindy, sure we are," Zarina replied while pointing at me "Estelle's been grumbling about how far she needs to walk just to get food."

"Hahaha well let's eat together," Mindy said.

Estelle together with Zarina and the other girls went to grab food in the cafeteria. They decided to sit at the table near the windows. With their chosen place they had a good view of the parking area.

While Estelle was munching her burger. They heard girls shouting and giggling out in the parking lot. When she turned to look she saw a big group of girls waiting in the parking with their phones recording at a Jaguar XJ that had just been parked.

"Oh my! What are those girls being loud for?" Zarina asked while rolling her eyes.

"Zarina, it's on the school website that Tyler Melendez is gonna be back today," Mindy replied while showing the screen of her phone.

"Yup, all his fans been raving about it all day," one of the cheerleaders replied.

"Oh, I see. So that's why it's pretty noisy outside." Estelle commented while watching the hoard of fangirls outside.

"Kyaa, my Stellie babes is probably the only person I know who hasn't been charmed by that Tyler," Zarina said while hugging me.

"Zari, what do you mean just me? You and Mindy are also not charmed by him," I retorted while laughing.

" Eh, come on that's not counted, I already have someone," Zarina said as a matter of fact while crossing her arms.

Mindy laughed and said," Yeah Estelle, were both taken you know, besides our boyfriends are friends with him so that definitely a no."

Estelle just shrug and continued eating her burger and her Avocado shake.

On the other hand. Tyler at that moment was still inside his car getting his bag from the shotgun seat. As he was wearing his bag the phone in his pocket ringed.

"Hey bro," He greeted as he answered the incoming call.

"Bro! We're outside the cafeteria, get your ass here," The other person on the line replied.

"Yeah okay, I'm getting out of the car now."

"Okay, we'll just wait here, we can't go through your army of fangirls."

Tyler chuckled while listening to Duke."Okay, bye." As he said that he ended the call and closed the car door while making his way to the cafeteria. Not minding the girls scurrying around him and taking pictures of him he walked faster. Seeing his friends-Duke, Leon, and Zion standing near the cafeteria entrance, he waved his hand the jogged towards them.

"Yo bro! Hahaha good thing you survived your fangirls," Duke said while he brofist with Tyler.

"Dude! Welcome back, How was Hawaii?" Zion greeted as they fist bump each other.

"Tyler my man, you've been MIA for a week, you better hang with us later," Leon said while putting his arms around Tyler.

"Yeah yeah sure my treat," Tyler replied as they headed into the cafeteria.

After ordering their food they went to find a table. Since it was lunchtime, the place was packed with students having their fill.

"Ah Mindy's there, let's go to them," Zion said while waving his hand to his girlfriend who's currently looking at him.

"Zarina's with her also!" Duke stated while grinning.

Tyler looked at the table they were pointing at and scanned the people sitting there.

The four men found their way towards the table Estelle and her friends. "My love miss me?" Duke said smiling as he sat beside Zarina. "Of course...not," Zarina replied while sticking out her tongue. On the other hand Zion and Mindy we're already being lovey-dovey. "Oh yeah, can we sit with you guys?" Zion asked Mindy.

Mindy looked at the girls on the table asking if they were okay with it. The other three cheerleaders we're already nodding their heads fervently, Zarina, well we don't need to ask her since she'll definitely be okay with it. "Estelle?" Mindy called the girl sitting near the window who's been giving all her attention to her food for some time now.

"Oh? Uh me? Yeah sure go ahead," Estelle was surprised and confused since she actually didn't know what happened not until she looked at the boys at their table. "oh okay, go ahead guys sit down," Mindy said happily.

Both Duke and Zion sat beside their girlfriends and Leon sat beside the cheerleaders, the only seat vacant was the one beside Estelle. Tyler slowly walked towards the chair beside Estelle and sat on it. Tyler who's actually been staring at this lady for quite some time now. He actually finds her interesting as she was immersed in her own world while eating. "Hey," Tyler called out while not taking his eyes off her. "Uh hi?" Estelle meekly replied and looked at the man seating beside her. 'Ah, it's that guy, Tyler.' she thought as she looked at the handsome man.

"Cute," Tyler commented.

"Pardon? What did you just say?" Estelle asked as she was confused. She actually didn't hear what he just said now since he said it silently.

"There's sauce on your lips," Tyler replied while pointing to the side of his lips.

"Ah, thanks for telling."

Estelle fished out her phone from her bag and open the front cam. Indeed, there's sauce on the side of her lips. Seeing that she took a tissue and wiped it. She was actually embarrassed about it, her cheeks started to turn red as someone like him actually saw her in a not so elegant state. Looking at the actions of the girl he smiled slightly. He was actually thinking that this friend of his friends' girlfriend is quite adorable and interesting. He was wondering why he's never seen her before.

Well, it's just actually because most of the time he's out doing photoshoots and rarely has time to actually hand out with his friends. He's been busy since the start of the semester. Right now, he actually has freed up his schedule so he'll not be busy for the next two months. On the other hand, Estelle, it's actually her first time meeting Tyler. Although her friends Mindy and Zarina are in a relationship with his friends, she never encountered him. She sometimes hangs out with her friends and their boyfriends but Tyler was never present.
