CARINA

"Alright I'll see you guys later." I said as we parted ways to our lockers. Alex, Luca and I were still together since our lockers were side by side. Currently, Luca and Alex were arguing about who had more fun during the three day vacation.

"But did you guys accuse each other while playing monopoly?"

"No, but we did that during UNO."

"Well at least you didn't go to an arcade."

"We collected shells though."

This went on until we reached our lockers. I sighed, smiling at my siblings. 

"Okay you two, stop. I'm pretty sure we all enjoyed in our own ways." I tried to reason with them. 

Luca shrugged. I glanced to my sister as she opened her mouth. 

Alex said, "Whatever you say. I'll see you at lunch?"  

I nodded as she got her books headed towards her class. Luca and I got our books too and went our way together, because we both had Math.

I had gotten used to all that staring and whispering by now. It happened in every class. I went to my usual seat at the left corner. There I was greeted by my friends Carlos and Rosé. 

"Hey girl! Had a fun vacation?" Rosé asked and I nodded and started telling them about what we did.

I was halfway telling them about the road trip games we played, when our teacher came in and everyone instantly went silent. "Good morning class, now put all your books away, today you are all giving a surprise test." She said as she passed the papers to each student. A lot of students protested, including me. The first thing I don't want to do on a Monday morning is a surprise test, especially Math.

"Settle down everyone. Don't turn your papers until I tell you to. 抖阴社区 your name and today's date carefully at the top." I sighed and did what she told us to, knowing there was no way out of this one. Moments later we were instructed to turn our papers.

 Here we go.

"That's it for today. Don't forget to turn in your assignments on time, class dismissed." 

Everyone hurried out. 

"Is it just me, or was that the longest Geography class we've had?" Rosé asked me as we put our books back in the locker and went towards the cafeteria, for lunch. 

"I agree. I mean, it probably wasn't, but it was pretty boring." 

"Yeah. Anyways, what were you telling us about your vacation?" 

So I started telling her from where I had left, while we waited for Carlos to show up. "That's so cool! I love astronomy too!" She exclaimed when Carlos showed up. 

"Sorry I'm late. Apparently the bell is there just for decoration." 

I chuckled slightly. 

Rosé looked up at him. "Please tell me you didn't actually say that." 

Carlos grinned. "I did. Got detention after school for it." He said as he sat down next to me.

I shook my head at him. "You're impossible." Rosé said as I nodded in agreement. 

Carlos shrugged. "Nothing is impossible. Well. Except for me." All three of us burst out laughing, sitting on our usual lunch table. 

"So you were telling me that you guys were star-gazing?" Rosé asked, signalling me to continue.
