Leonardo's POV
"Leo?" A familiar voice calls me.
"Nngh ..."
"Leo, wake up, you're going to be late!" The same voice said again.
"... just more * yawning * ten minutes ..." I say, with my arm covering my eyes closed.
"Leo, you're going to be late for the first day!"
When she said "first day," instantly my brain woke up.
"Woke up!" I screamed, jumping out of bed and flying to the bathroom.
I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and showered as fast as I could, straightened my hair, pulled on my uniform, and ran out into the kitchen.
I stuffed everything in the mouth without even chewing, almost the plate did not go together. I almost left without taking my lunch.
I took the paper bag containing the pie my mother made, which was on the table and I left.
"Bye, Mother, I'll see you later!" I said as I left.
"Good luck!" She answered.
As I made my way, I ended up bumping into my friends, Lucye and Donnie, the two who had studied with me since high school. They greeted me and we went together to school.
As we talked, we saw several students around the building we were approaching.
"I bet it's going to be incredible here!" I said.
"If you think ..." Donnie replied.
"Hey, why the low spirits?" Lucye asked.
"Oh, I don't know. I just can't be as excited as you." He replied.
"It's okay, come on, we'll go talk to the director." I called them.
"Of course." Donnie nodded and we went, calmly, talking about anything.
Then, while we were walking, we saw a girl with green hair and green eyes, carrying several books in her hand, and seemed to be in a hurry.
So she ended up bumping into Donnie and they fell to the ground. All the books she held fell along with her glasses.
She then went to the ground to look for them, until Donnie took her glasses and placed them on her face.
She blinked a few times before adjusting her glasses and saying to him,
"Um ... Thank you ..." She said in a timid tone.
"You're welcome." Donnie said. Then she began to put the books together.
Donnie started to help, picking up some books from the floor. Lucye and I just stared.
When the girl took the last book, they stood up. Donnie looked at the cover of one of the books and said,
"Romeo and Juliet?" He asked.
She then quickly took the book from his hand, clearly embarrassed.
"I-I ..." She stuttered, rolling her eyes.
"It's a beautiful novel." Donnie said, smiling. Then she turned and looked at him again.
"... Do you really think?" She asked.
"Sure, have you read it to the end or are you still reading?" He asked.
"... I'm almost done ..." she replied, and she was ashamed again.
"So that's fine. I'm Donatello, by the way." He said, holding out his hand to her.
They shook hands as she murmured very low, in an almost inaudible voice:
"... I am Raphaella."
"Nice to meet you. Oh, and ... Sorry to get in your way."
"I mean, I'm sorry for bumping into you, I was not paying attention to where I was going ..." she said, adjusting her glasses. It looked like she was ... blushing?
"Donnie already got a girlfriend on the first day of school !" Lucye whispered in my ear, and I giggled in response.
"It's okay, I hope to see you again!" He said, waving farewell already coming back to us.
The girl watched him for a few seconds before remembering that she was going somewhere and hurrying.
After we talked to the director, Donnie and I went to our classroom, since Lucye ended up in another room next to ours.
We went in and, to our surprise, already had some students inside. Donnie and I sat in two desks in the back, waiting for the teacher to arrive.
I could feel that this first day was going to be tense. I noticed that a guy with red hair and green eyes kept glaring at Donnie.
That look was cold, he seemed to be a bad person who only tormented others. I was afraid he was a bully, not for me, but for Donnie, who seemed to be his focus.
I feel that this guy only has hate in his heart ...
