Meant to be by: Elle

I was greeted by the students chitchatting as some run around the crowded hallways. I was putting up some flyers for the clubs of our school and my best friend Elle is helping me. “So, are you planning to join the glee club this year?” I hesitate, Elle keeps forcing me to join the glee club because they were missing one more member but I’m not into it. “Come on Kiera you have a beautiful voice.” She’s the captain of the glee club and is very bossy so I wouldn’t even say yes if I wanted to. “I don’t want to join in any clubs this year Elle so please stop forcing me.” She pouts and accepts it, “Fine.” She sounded grumpy and I patted her back as comfort. “Guys! Guess what!” Nathan our other best friend shouted as he runs towards us, “What?” I ask, “I got a gig!” Elle gasps and my eyes widens. Nathan is a guitarist and he had a dream of playing for people and his dream finally came true. “Omg congrats dude!” Elle said hitting his shoulder, “When’s the gig?” I ask, “Well its next week Sunday so I got time to practice.” His smile makes me smile, I love seeing my friends achieve their goals and I know I will too. And what I want to achieve is to be a model. Modeling is my dream, just walking up to that stage as people admire you and to travel the world and to meet new people is just chef’s kiss. “We have to celebrate! Samgyup? My treat!” My face lit up and so did Nathan’s, “f**k yes!” and I nodded, “I’m definitely in!” Elle squeals as she slings her arm through mine and we walked to our class. I got to my first class which was history and I saw an unfamiliar guy up front, I saw the girls behind him looking at him like freaks as they whisper at each other, “Omg he’s cute!” Some girl said walking inside the classroom, and they’re not wrong he was really cute, he had dark black hair and was I think 6’1, he was taking out his books and he noticed me just standing there looking at him, “Need something?” He asks a little uncomfortable, I flinched and shook my head, I walked to the very back of the classroom and sat there, I was so embarrassed that I would’ve kms right there. “Ok class settle down. I would like to introduce a transfer student from Chicago.” The teacher stated as he signals the guy to stand up. “Hi, I’m Niko Harris, 18 years old and I hope we could get along.” He smiled slightly making every girl melt. Even me. “Nice to meet you Niko, you can sit down now. Ok so let’s start, please open your books and turn to page 67 and read about Industrialization.” We all did as told, and the entire time I couldn’t stop glancing at the fine man that everyone was drooling about. It’s now lunch time and I went to my locker to put my books away and I was pulled aside by Elle. “I heard there was a transfer student. And Zoe said he is cute like Ian Somerhalder cute, and Zoe said she saw him in 1st period and her 1st period is history and I know your 1st period is history so tell me is he legit cute or just scam cute.” I chuckled from how curious Elle was, “He is legit cute.” She sighed in relief and leaned in the lockers as I continue to put my books back in my locker. “Well anyways, Nathan is waiting for us in the cafeteria so hurry.” Fast forward it’s the end of school and I went to a nearby café, since our little celebration doesn’t start until 7 so I decided to finish up some homework while waiting. I walked in the café and the first thing that caught my attention was Niko, he was a waiter and I think he noticed me. He didn’t look happy when he saw me though, it looked like he was annoyed. He angrily went back to the front desk and placed the tray down storming to the kitchen. What was his problem? I sat down near the window and someone came up to my table. “What can I get you?” Niko asks, ready to write down my order, “Oh um, hi, I would like to have a cheesecake and probably an iced coffee.” I smiled to him and he just seemed pissed, “Is that all?” He asked kinda not in the mood, and I just nod. He quickly walked away. “Weird.” I said to myself. He seemed more nicer at school even if he only said two words the sweetness in his tone was noticeable, and right now he’s voice is more stern and serious. He came back with a bagel and black coffee and I got confused. “Umm, this isn’t my order Niko.” I tried not to sound mad or any seriousness in my voice and all he did was shrug, “That’s not my problem.” He then casually walked away. I scoffed and stood up pulling him by his shirt to stop his tracks, “What did you just say? It’s not my problem? Well I think that’s other way around since you were the one taking my order, and if your thinking of me paying the food that I certainly did not order I would like a refund, and for you to listen carefully on what the customers order, but I would understand if your deaf, or it’s just that you have earwax, then you should really get that checked.” I said sweetly and he was dumbfounded, everyone there started to whisper and a woman came out of the front desk, “What’s going on?” She asks, I look at her and smiled, “Nothing, we were just catching up.” I patted Niko’s back before pinching him, he jumped a little and I went to pack up all my stuff, I saw him glaring at me and I was satisfied. I may have gon overboard but he shouldn’t have said that. I talked about it with Nathan and Elle at dinner and I knew they were disgusted, “I heard that he already has a nickname called prince charming.” Elle said, “Well guess what? Their prince charming is a total dick.” We all laughed, “Well I think he should watch his back since he got into your bad side.” Nathan said drinking up his beer. “He better.” I mumbled. An hour later we were wasted, we were the only people in the restaurant and right now Nathan is snoring away and Elle is being all full of herself. “Like did you know that my grandpa called me the princess of our town? I mean, he isn’t wrong! I’m the princess of this goddamn city for who I care I need a prince! And he is nowhere to be found! I tried finding him in tinder and boohoo nothing! Am I to perfect that no man is?!” I slapped her shoulder and she screams. “What was that for?!” I cried and took another sip, “He’s a handsome jerk!” I said referring to Niko, “His smile is beautiful! But his personality is poop!” I suddenly heard Nathan laugh, “What are you laughing at?” He stopped laughing, his smile faded, “Poop.” He said and made a fart sound continuing to laugh. “Romeo! Oh Romeo! Where the f**k are you?!” Elle shouted falling off her chair. “Your Romeo probably dead already!” I shouted back, “My Romeo is a dicky icky barista.” I frowned. I then saw the door open and I thought I was dreaming, Niko came up to me and kneeled down, “Your drunk…” He whispered, “And your deaf!” He bit his lip, he looked at both Elle and Nathan. “Give me your phone.” I shook my head, “What did you say?! I’m deaf! I’m sorry!” He got my phone anyway and made me scan my finger so it can be unlocked and the last thing I heard and saw, was him calling my mom as he looked like a dream. And damn I wished it was. I woke up, and I was in my room I was confused how we got here, we were so drunk that we couldn’t even stand up straight. But then I remembered what happened, I covered my mouth in shock, recalling everything and I mean EVERYTHING. “Oh crap…”
