You and I - Matthew Sturniolo

See You Again

"WAKE UP, YOU'RE LATE"  My older brother, Luke, yells from the kitchen, I roll out of bed with a groaning sound and a headache, today was my first day in a new high school since moving from Nashville to Boston.

I check my phone to see 9+ messages from my best friend Amira. Amira was Kind, Beautiful, and Crazy smart, she has been in everything from sports teams to school clubs, she's the perfect student. I have always felt i've been in Amira's shadow my whole life but that's how I like it.

"shit, shit shit," I says as I rush to get all of my things in my bag, I want to make a good first impression at this school because the last time I switched schools, it wasn't good. She throws on the outfit she picked from the night before, and decides to go for a natural makeup look. "Im leaving in 2 minutes if your ass isn't down here by then i'm leaving!" jake yells in a louder tone than last time, our mom isn't home because she works nights at the hospital, and our stepdad is probably drunk passed out in one of his friends living rooms.

we moved to Boston because my mom wanted to live closer to my stepdad, even tho me and Luke don't even like him, we didn't get a choice. But whatever, that's just how it works, my mom finds a new guy, moves closer and forgets about him 3 years later. this has happened 4 times already but im used to it by now.

I finish my makeup and head downstairs rushing to put my shoes on as my brother honks his car horn. I run to the car and catch my breath while he steps on the gas, Luke is a horrible driver, but until I get my license that's the only way i'm getting to school for now.

As we get closer to the school i see these 3 boys walking closer to the school, 2 in the front pushing each other seeing who falls first, and the other one with one headphone in yelling at the first two, i giggle to myself and look back at them, i wonder who that is, i stare hard before one of the boys catches me looking, "oh fuck." I think to myself. I peek over and see him wave, oh... he's cute.
