New Feelings

10 years later

Josephine (14 years old)

After a long first week in Freshman year, I finally arrive home with everyone; Dylan, Mercy and Hero. Since a few years back we would walk back home everyday, it's so good we're best friends and we're neighbors. We spend most of the time with each other, just like we're all siblings. Dylan and Hero have grown so close that I'd say they're more than best friends, brothers almost. Just like Mercy, Hannah, Chloe and me. Everytime we are together the only thing you could hear are laughs. Hannah and I are in the cheerleaders team so we spend more time together but anytime we're with the others we watch movies, we simp over Leonardo Dicaprio and Robert Pattinson, we tell each other secrets, who is our crush...

I don't really have a crush, just like Hannah, but honestly I think she just doesn't want to tell who her crush is. Mercy said her crush is Tom, some guy in her class. She asked us to please not tell Hero because she doesn't want her brother in caveman-jealous-big-brother mode. Understandable, if you'd ask me.

And obviously Chloe's crush is Rudy. He's been her crush her whole life. And viceversa, but she doesn't believe when we tell her that. Chloe had her first kiss back in July, and of course she told us everything about it. It was with some guy who is a few years older than us, Ryan I think his name was. She told us he wasn't that good of a kisser but because she didn't have kissed anyone before she couldn't compare.

Katherine is 19 now, so she's not around that much given she's is college now and lives in some sorority house. Her friends there are really cool. They've invited me and the girls there a few times to watch movies or just to chill. Kayla, one of the girls there, is really good at cooking, so she helped us with some recipes. Now I know how to cook some cakes, cookies and muffins.

The rest of the boys are great too. Jonathan has a girlfriend now. Her name is Emily, and I guess she's cool. Anytime she hangs out with us we have a lot of fun, but the moment she is with her group she doesn't even look at us, when the day before she would be laughing and having a great time. I guess being popular is more worth it than real friends... Everyone hates that group. They're 3; Emily, Elsa and Emma, the triple E. So cliché, I hate it.

The lead is Emma. Of course. They're always trying to make everyone's life miserable. Except for Emily, thank god, they are always throwing themselves to boys, I call it pathetic. They have a thing for football players, so of course, they tried with Dylan, Hero, Drew and Ruby. Hey, at least they know Jonathan's off limits. They all rejected them without a blink, making me proud of not going with it just because they're hot. Not like Drew would do it, he's been lately saying that he likes me. He's cute and handsome, and so funny. But I don't see myself right now in a relationship.

Right now as Dylan and I say goodbye to Hero and Mercy after saying that we will meet this afternoon in their house, I receive a text message.

Fav British🚀: I have to show you something on the treehouse.
I'll be here so just text me when you arrive.

Fav Aussie 🦘🤏🏼: Okay...?? What's that thing you have to show me, dumbass?

Fav British🚀: Where's the fun if I tell you, smurfette?😉
