The Best Day Ever!

By Amyra Akhtar

Hey y’all! I’m Lucia Locker, and this is my story. It all started when..   

I was born in India, but had to shift to South Croydon at five years old. 

But I made GREAT friends there! Like Nature, Mackenzie, and Bubblegum. 

One day, I woke up, took a shower, and was brushing my hair into a braid, when I got a text from Mackenzie, my best friend. 

Mackenzie- Hey, Luce!

Mackenzie- Guess what? A new guy is coming to our school! His name is Theo. U should meet him! 

Mackenzie- 🥰👍🏻👉🏻👈🏻😍😘😚😋♥️♥️🤭😻

I smirked. A new guy? Time for some Lucia charm! 

At school, I was near the lockers with Mackenzie, and we were looking on as Bubblegum rushed to catch up with Jasper, and a second later they kissed. 

I giggled. ‘They’re the PERFECT couple!’ 

Mackenzie nodded, then poked me. ‘Here he comes!’ 

Quickly fixing my hair, I turned to Theo. He was REALLY cute!! 

Blushing, I spoke up. ‘Hey! Are you new here? I’m Lucia Locker!’  

He grinned. ‘Hey, Lucia! Yeah, I’m new here. What do you like to play as sport?’ 

‘Football, but tennis too,’ I said. 

‘Oh, same!’ 

‘Cool!’ I blushed. 

’So, hey..wanna walk to class together?’ He smiled. 

‘Sure!’ I chirped. 

Walking, we both cracked jokes and talked about school stuff. He was really easy to talk to..and yes, I had a crush on him!

After class, I was sitting in the cafeteria, chatting to my friends, when Theo walked over. 

‘Hey, Lucia. Can we talk?’ 

‘Sure,’ I gulped. 

He led me to the deserted hallway, and held my hand. 

‘Lucia, you’re really funny and pretty, and I was wondering if you’d consider being my girlfriend?’ 

I gasped. ‘Of COURSE, Theo! I like you too!’ 

He hugged me, and then it was officially the best day ever. 

When I told Nature, Mackenzie, and Bubblegum, they squealed. 

‘OMG!’ Mackenzie giggled. ‘Now we ALL aren’t single! Yay!’ Nature laughed and whacked her on the head playfully. 

It was truly perfect!
