!STEAMY STUFF!
IRIS POV:
I woke up at the sound of a text message notifacation. I had two new messages.
Boris: прокинься ідіот. сніданок готовий.
"Okay" was my reply
Then, I saw the other message, from Marlena.
"Good morning :)" she had texted me.
I replied with "Mornin'!", and went down to the kitchen.
"Mornin sissy" he said as soon as I walked in
"Hey Boris" I replied and fluffed out his hair. I walked by the toaster and grabbed a waffle and some blueberries.
Boris passed me the newspaper.
"Did anything interesting happen today?" he asked
"Nah, just the same old shit, NATO's political stuff."
"That's all bullshit, you know that sissy?"
"Ye-" I started the sentence but never got to finish. I choked on my juice cause it was already 7.
"FUCK, I GOTTA GET READY" I said and ran upstairs.
Quickly, I put on my uniform, and brushed out my tangled hair. Boris stopped me at the door.
"Jesus Iris! Take a jacket, it's freezing outside!" he told me and threw a jacket on my shoulders.
"Thanks, bye" I waved and ran outside.
I got in the bus and sat near a girl with long curly hair.
"Hi, I'm Laika Abdul" she greeted
"I uh, am Iris Volkov, nice to meet you"
"You must be new here!"
"Actually, yeah. I moved with my brother here a little while ago from Ukraine. My parents died"
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry"
"It's okay I guess" I said with a cigarette hanging from my dry bottom lip. "You want one?"
"Nah, I'll pass. I don't smoke"
Fifteen minutes later, we had arrived. I went to my locker to find a note.. "The dinner near your house. At 7. -Marlena". I smiled at it, and walked into Greek class.
That was one of my favorite lessons, after French. Greek is just, such a beautiful language with a really impressing history. I could answer every question Mr Stailidis would ask us.
The next lesson I had was Italian, then 2 hours Biology and 2 hours Geography.
Six hours later, I finally got home. Boris was out with Laika's brother and Othon.
I ran into my bedroom and started getting ready for the date. Its was already 5:58.
I took a shower and went to the closet to find something to wear. I ended up into a white blouse, a black blazer and black bell bottomed jeans. I fluffed out my black, short curly hair and did my eyeliner, no contour. At 6:52 I was ready and headed off.
Marlena was on a table on a bright balcony, full of christmas tree led lights, small plants and soft indie music playing from a record player.
She was wearing a long one-layered no sleeve dress and docs. Her hair was slightly wavy and a little messy. She wasn't wearing makeup.
"Hey..." she greeted
"Hi. You look really nice"
"Same for you Iris" Marlena replied and we sat down.

After we had our dinner we walked back to my house. We went inside and ran up to my room. My LED lights were on and the cd's and mirrors on my walls created a lovely atmosphere with their reflections. She took off her coat and left it on the floor.
"Can I do your eyeliner?" she asked me and I let her. She went through my drawers and found a deep maroon eyeliner. Then the butterflies came. As I was sitting on a mattress on the floor she came up on me and sat on my lap. I leaned my head behind and closed my eyes feeling the soft, wet tip of the marker going through my eyelids.
"Fuck I messed up" she said and tried to rub off her mistake. I purposely fell back on the mattress and so did she. Giggling. With her head placed on my chest.
We were lying there for hours, staring at the ceiling, saying nothing. A while later she turned up her head up and kissed the end of my cheek. I turned towards her and we kissed. Maybe for ten minutes, or hours or decades- it didn't matter to me.
