A Thousand Lives

Chapter 3: First Meeting

I was in my last class of the year, there were 4 more minutes of class and I couldn't wait for them to be up. From the looks of it, everyone else couldn't wait either, everyone was staring at the clock.

"3!" a kid called out, I was pretty sure it was a boy.

"2!" another called out.

"1!" they both yelled in unison.

"Briiiiing!" the bell went off and everyone stood up.

"YAY!! SUMMER!" Everyone was yelling and running out of the classroom.

I got up from my seat and walked out into the halls. They were packed full of people.

People yelling, people jumping, one guy even skateboarding. I quickly got into the hallway of traffic. I finally got to my locker and packed my bag. I got back into the traffic and walked to the door, getting pushed and shoved. Finally I got to the outside world, I grabbed my bike and biked away.

I biked to the spot that I always go to after school. It is a green space with my favourite green willow tree. I sat under it to draw and think. I started going there a year ago when my dad died in a car accident and since then, I have never ever gotten inside of a car. It hurt too much, I was too scared.

I got off my back and walked towards the willow tree, but then...

"WATCH OUT!" a girl with brown hair and cat-like features was riding a bike and crashed into me.

"What the hell?!" I yelled.

"Sorry..." she got up and put out a hand to pull me up. I pushed it away and got up myself.

"I can get up myself, thank you." I said and got up.

"Okay, okay. No need to be mean." she said.

"You are the one who crashed into me, remember?" I said and brushed all the grass off of my pants.

"I am Adola Exie. What is your name?" she said.

"I am Alvara Davi." I replied and looked at her.

She had two different coloured eyes one light blue and the other turquoise. They both had a galaxy patterned iris'. It was kind of cool actually.

"What were you doing riding your bike like a maniac in a candy store?" I said.

"I was trying to ride my bike, I haven't ridden in a while so I am not that good." she replied scratching the back of her neck.

"Well anyways, watch out next time." I said and continued walking to my Willow tree.

"Umm....WAIT!" I turned around to look at her. "I was invited to a party tomorrow night and I am allowed to bring a guest. Would you like to come? It is the least I can do for crashing into you." she said, holding out a white piece of paper with a golden border and some black writing on it.

"Umm... sure" I grabbed the invite.

"I have got to go now. Hope to see you there." She picked up her bike and walked it back to the sidewalk.

"Bye." I answered and read the card.

                                                            YOU ARE INVITED TO:

Should I go? Is it worth it? What would I even wear? Oooh I could steal one of Mom's dresses. I thought to myself.
