the fallen angel

chapter 2 First Day of Senior High

“Dr. Williams, you are needed in the operating room right now.”

I was just about to take my break when I heard my name on the speaker. As soon as I heard where I was needed, I went rushing over. I entered the operating room and saw a bloody body on the bed.

“Dr. Williams, he was in an accident and needs surgery right now. He has a bullet wound on his left chest.” one nurse told me.

“Ok. Check his vitals and get ready for the operation.” I instructed the other nurses. I went to the sanitizing room and prepared for the operation.

I was about to start the operation, but then my phone rang, waking me up

from my dream.

“Ugh! It’s not fair!” I whined to myself.

I looked at my phone and checked the time and saw that it’s 6 in the morning. I got out of bed and got ready to jog. I love jogging in the morning. I like to stay healthy even though I stay up late at night studying.

I wore my sports bra with my running tights and Nike shoes. After grabbing my phone and my earphones, I then headed downstairs. I played my favorite playlist and started running. My morning run normally takes around half an hour.

I just entered the house when I smelt toast from the kitchen. That means mom is awake. I went straight to the kitchen to get some water.

“Good morning, mom.”

“Good morning, sweety. Ready for your first day of Senior High?” Mom asked while preparing her coffee.

“Mom, there is absolutely nothing that is different in Senior High other than the fact that this is going to be my last year in that school.” I replied while grabbing myself a toast.

“Senior High is the best year in high school. You should try to enjoy this last year before you start your college.”

“Mom, I always enjoy every year. I gotta go get ready for school. I don’t want to be late for my first day.” I said, leaving the kitchen. I know Mom meant I should go out on weekends and walk by the beach and have fun and not just study all the time.

I went into my room and placed my phone and my earphones on my table and went straight to the bathroom after grabbing a fresh towel from my cabinet. It does not take me over 30 minutes to take a bath. After my bath, I wrapped my hair with the towel to get it to dry faster. I hate using hair blowers. Don’t ask me why.

I got ready in no time. I wore my gray shirt with black jeans and black Nike Shoes. I tied my hair in a messy bun, just like always. I made sure that I have all my books in my bag and my necessities (power bank, chord, earphone and wallet). I gave my room a one last sweep, making sure I forgot nothing. I went downstairs, closing the door of my room behind me.

“Good morning, Dad.” I said.

Morning sunshine. All set for today?” he asked.

“Yup. All set and ready to go.” I replied, giving him a big smile. “I’m leaving now. Bye Mom and Dad.” I said grabbing my keys before heading out.

don’t live too far from the School. It’s just a 30 minute drive and Sophie is picking me up. She got a car for her 16th Birthday and she has been literally our driver ever since. It’s the perks of being BFF with someone who has a car, I guess.

I was just about to text Emmy when Sophie’s car appeared from the corner of the street. Her car stopped in front of my house. I opened the passenger seat and slowly closed the door.

“Morning! “we all said together. You can’t blame us. We are best friends, after all.

“I’m so excited for Senior Year. Finally, we are going to graduate soon.” Emmy said with all the excitement.

“This is going to be the best year ever and there is going to be prom. Aaahhhh, I can’t wait.” Sophie said, squealing.

“Who is going to be your date to prom, Jessie?” Emmy asked.

“I already told you guys since Junior High that I am not going to prom. It’s just not my thing.” I explained, knowing that I will never hear the end of it once Sophie blabs.

“No can do, Jessie. You are going to prom and we will find you a date.”Sophie said, and Emmy agreed.

“Come on. You both know that dresses and heels are not my thing.” I said hoping it would change their mind, but knowing them, it will not even make them think twice about it.

Thankfully, we reached the school parking lot already. I thought they would forget about it for at least a while, but then I was wrong.

“You are going to prom and we will find you a date.” Sophie said, grabbing her stuff from the back seat and locking the doors.
