HOMOPHOBIC

Chapter 3

Abigail's POV

The buzzing of the alarm clock cut off my beautiful sleep. I was about to ignore it but then, I remembered that today is my first day. I quickly get up and take a look at the time. It's five in the morning and my classes will start at seven. Why did I set up my alarm this early? Oh right.

Jogging.

It's been my routine since I'm on Singapore. I need to maintain my figure. I have a lot of insecurities inside me and number one is about my body.

I do my morning routine first before putting on a black sports bra and a black sweatpants.

"Ooh. Your abs are screaming Miller." I said with a smirk as I stare at myself at the mirror.

I went out of our house and saw Ichika going out as well. She's also wearing the same outfit as mine except that it's gray. I guess she's going for a run to.

"Nice body, neighbor." Ichika said with a wink.

"You too. You have a nice figure for a person who eats a lot." I said teasingly.

"Yah! You really are a one rude neighbor."

Her reply makes me giggle a bit.

"Want to run with me?" I offered.

"Why does it sounds like you're asking me to go with you like what happens in fairy tale?" She said.

"You need to stop watching Disney."

She slapped my arm lightly. This girl is way too hurtful. Can I also smack this Japanese even just once?

Our jogging routine was full of bickering and laughter. I never thought jogging can be this so much fun. I haven't feel that I'm tired even though we made seven laps around the park.

Ichika said that I should wait for her to clean up so that we can go to school together, and here I am, waiting for her for thirty minutes. We have only fifteen minutes left before the classes starts. I can't believe that there's still someone who can be slower than me. I was on the verge of barging into their front door when she came in a hurry.

"Come on Abigail. We're late!" She said and she started running.

"Yah! You're the reason why we are going to be late! Aish." I said and followed her.

She just look back and wink at me. A piece of bread was stuck in her mouth. Now I know why this Japanese took so long to get ready.

We came into the school five minutes after the bell rang. Ichika quickly opened the door of our room making the student's and the teacher's attention divert into us. I was panting heavily and so as this girl beside me.

"Ms. Takahashi. You're late again." The man with a serious face said. I think he's out teacher.

"I'm so sorry Mr. Wilson. It won't happen again." Ichika said.

"I've heard that a dozen of times Ms. Takahashi." He let out a deep sigh before continuing.

"Please go to your seat."

Ichika nodded before making her way towards her seat. I was about to follow her but Mr. Wilson stopped me.

"You. Stay." He said.

I feel my body stiffened at his command. I heard someone scoffed beside me and there I saw a beautiful lady. What is she doing here? Is she also studying here?

"Ms. Witmer. Continue introducing yourself." Mr. Wilson said.

She stepped forward not minding that she bumped my shoulder.

"What the hell?" I said which earned me a glare from her. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. What the hell is wrong with this girl?

"Isabella Witmer. Nice meeting you all." she said and bow as a sign of respect. So her name is Isabella huh.

"Thank you Ms. Witmer. Now go and find a seat." Mr. Wilson said before diverting his attention to me.

"And I supposed you're the other transferee?"

Other? So that means Isabella is also a transferee?

"Yes sir."

"Please introduce yourself to the class."

"I'm Avery Abigail Miller, just call me Abigail. I'm from Singapore. Please be nice to me."

What the f**k? What did I just said? Please be nice to me? What a weakling Miller. I can feel my face heated up due to embarrassment. Luckily, no one reacted at my statement. Maybe it's normal for them.

"Please go and find a seat Ms. Miller."

I take a look around the classroom and saw that there is still one chair left. It was beside Ichika who is now happily waving at me but the thing is that seat is also beside Isabella who is now staring intently at me. I gulped and went my way towards the available seat. Do I have any choice?

I took a seat not minding the furious girl that keeps on sending me deadly glares. She will soon get tired and will mind her own damn business. But I'm wrong. She keeps on scoffing which making me hard to concentrate at the lesson.

"Is there something wrong?" I decided to ask her because scoffing really annoy the hell out of me.

"Tss. Ice cream stealer." She said and rolled her eyes.

"What?" I replied not noticing that my voice went a little louder which made the class silent and look at my direction. I sent them an apologetic smile before diverting my attention back to Isabella who is now giving me an annoying smirk.

"Psst!"

"What!?" Now it's her turn to be the center of attention and it's my turn to give her an annoying smirk.

"Is there something wrong Ms. Witmer?" Mr. Wilson asked.

And as if on cue, the bell rang. How lucky. Save by the bell eh?

"That's all for today and before you all go I'll just make an announcement so please stay at your seats. Ms. Isabella Witmer, you will be having Ms. Ichika Takahashi to help you to catch up to our lessons and Ms. Avery Abigail Miller, you will be having Ms. Mei Ning to help you. Since you two transferred almost at the middle of the year, this is the fastest way to cope up with your lapses. That's all, you may go." Mr. Wilson said.

"Why can't I just pair up with you?" I said to the Japanese beside me who is busy fixing her things.

"Aw. You miss me already?" Ichika said.

"Nope. It's just that you're the only person I know here. I told you I am not good at conversation." I said.

"Yeah. But you're good at annoying that girl on your left." She chuckled.

I take a look at my left and saw Isabella still sending me daggers. I rolled my eyes on her which made her surprised.

"Whatever. Now tell me, who is Mei Ning?" I asked.

"Me!" Said by a red haired girl who is now walking to our direction. She is smiling at us widely.

"I'm Mei Ning, just call me Ning Ning and I'm ok!" Ning Ning said and offered her hand to me for a shake. Her introduction makes me laugh. She has a eyes of the cat that can attract your attention and she has the same aura with Ichika. I think we can get along easily.

"I'm Abigail and I'm ok too." I said as I take her hand and Ning Ning laughed at my answer.

"Crackheads." Ichika muttered.

"You're a crackhead too!" Ning Ning said and stick her tounge out.

"You know each other?" I asked.

"Yup. sad to say we're friends." Ichika replied which earn a smack from Ning Ning.

"Isabella. Let's go to cafeteria, let's have some lunch first before starting our session." Ichika said.

"Is she coming?" Isabella said while pointing at me.

"Of course, I'm her friend." I said while smirking.

"Whatever." She rolled her eyes on me and went first towards the door.

"Do you guys know each other?" Ning Ning asked.

"Actually no. But I had met her once, at the convenience store." I replied.

"Oh. Then why does it seems that she hates you?" Ning Ning said.

"Well she's accusing me for stealing her ice cream." I said.

"What?" Ning Ning chuckled.

"Is she the same girl at that store?" Ichika asked.

I was about to tell Ning Ning the whole story because she seems to be confused but we're interrupted by a voice of an angry girl waiting at the door with her arms crossed and an eyebrow raised.

"Are you guys coming or what?" She said in a serious voice.

We quickly get our things and walked towards her direction.

"She's scary." Ning Ning whispered to me.

"Yeah. I'll just tell you the whole story on our way." I said.

Isabella once again sent me her deadly glares before going out the room. I wonder why that girl hates me so much.
