Chapter 2: Middle School Crisis

Ring! " Ugh, I just HATE waking up early..." said young 13 years old Luciana in her bed sleepily.

They have been living in the orphanage for 13 years. They hardly remember anything from 13 years ago except that someone had whisper 'I love you' to them.

"Well you better get up sleepyhead, or you'll miss the school bus and failed the entrance to middle school test... again!" said Carlos while laughing very loudly. He didn't stop laughing until Luciana sludged him hard on the elbow.

"Ow..." said Carlos.

Luciana leap from her bed and into the shower room as for Carlos packed his bag and went downstairs for breakfast. As soon as Luciana is done showering, she zip downstairs as fast as she could and ate her breakfast. The bus had arrived and Carlos was waiting for her. Luciana went in on time before the bus left her again.

"Well... on time today, eh Luciana?" said the bus driver, teasing her.

Carlos and Luciana always sit at the way back of the bus, so it's no wonder why everyone is looking at them as they were walking. Actually, they were staring at Carlos and more like looking in disgust at Luciana which made her nervous.

Luciana even overheard one of them saying," Ugh, who does that girl think she belong in our middle school?" she said "She is like the ugliest girl in the whole school. And look, even her brother is so much cuter than HER."

Luciana was hot kettle furious (I like saying hot kettle furious as it means super-ultra-duper furious). Hey, she though, she would be the first to think that Carlos is way cuter than her. But what do they think of her? A rusted chainsaw?

She look down at her 'Go Girl' red shirt wearing a purple jacket on top of it. She also wore a well-kitted pink skirt with a cat logo on the side and wondered what is so UGLY about her?

When she sat down at the back-of-the-back seat in the bus, she was suddenly quiet. Carlos knew that something was going on because his sister is usually a big chatterbox if she was with him.

Suddenly, the bus stop again. Then a very cute blond-haired girl wearing a nice T-shirt with a skirt-with-a-pants skirt and walked to their direction. She sat right next to Luciana and seem to be avoiding Carlos.

Luciana darted to Carlos side and he shrugged and looked away. Suddenly, as if by magic, Luciana can read Carlos mind. In his mind he said " Wait... that girl is awfully familiar, but why is she avoiding me? I think she may be from class A in primary school".

Luciana was so surprised because she could read his mind and find out who that girl was!
