Day II

On this day, Kate walked to school, having woken up an hour earlier than usual.
It was a pleasant spring morning.

Kate enjoyed the tweets of the birds in the trees. It wasn't until she met Jack that she felt a bit uneasy about her day ahead.

"Hi Kate, here's your lunch" Jack said, like he was becoming accustomed to.

"Jack, get this trough your head. Me & you are never going to happen"

They walked in silence for the rest of the length to school. It had become a ritual, a dance that the two of them shared in order to disguise their sexual tension for each other.

At school thousands of thoughts ran trough her head. Kate was usually stressed about everything from her non-existent romantic life to her overachieving academic life.

At lunch, she was hurdled between two piles of books, trying to study while eating simultaneously.

"Don't you think you study too hard?" Jack asked with a smile on his face as he sat down at her table.

"I have to study because there is a test tomorrow"

"So, you have tons of books."

"There are other tests!"

After a while of eating the peanut butter & jelly sandwich that Kate had rejected Jack realized that there was a certain thing that Kate had missed.

"You do realize we have a test this afternoon"

Kate did not notice from her sheer panic, but Jack put a sinister smirk on his face.

"A test?! I completely forgot...dammit"

"Yeah it's a shame"

"I just wish I could've had more time, yesterday!"

Jack lifted his right arm in the air and looked at Kate.

"As you wish!" He said as he snapped his fingers.

Day I

This is a story of a girl named Kate Monk, a 19 year old high school student.
Of course that wouldn't have been out of the ordinary, if this had been ordinary world.
Such was not the case.

The story of Kate is a rather interesting one & begins with Kate being late for school.
She ran, not thinking of anything else but to go to school.

Kate was known as quite the honor student, but on this particular day she had overslept.
She missed the bus by just a few seconds and while running ended up getting her jeans dirty as she stepped in a puddle.

She remained positive though, that's the kind of person Kate was. If something went wrong Kate shook it off until she couldn't anymore and would cry her eyes out.

It worked for her.

When she walked into the school, she was approached by her friend Jack. Kate hadn't known Jack for that long & if she had to be really honest she didn't find him the most interesting or charming fellow, but she enjoyed his company nonetheless.

She felt strange about Jack, but I suppose a person that makes you personalized lunch would be considered to have a strange vibe, regardless of status.

It was on this day that Kate's story began and on that day her story would remain.
