PAULA WOKE UP with an unsettling sense that something was amiss, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. her unease was compounded by the fact that she had fallen asleep without plugging in her phone, which had died overnight. now, she was frantically trying to get ready, unsure whether or not she was already late since she had no alarm to rely on. the nagging feeling of uncertainty made her all the more anxious as she hurriedly prepared.
as she wrapped up her routine, paula made her way downstairs, where the sound of a car horn outside her house caught her attention. a sudden wave of relief washed over her as she realized that the honk meant she was actually right on time. with renewed energy, she briskly walked towards the car and hopped inside, carefully placing her bag in the back seat.
"hey teo,"
"hola, polly pocket." mateo was paula's cousin, her favorite cousin to be exact. they had attended the same elementary, middle, and high school, and had developed a unique bond that was unparalleled. the two were inseparable, and their personalities complemented each other perfectly, like yin and yang.
"ew, you know i hate when people call me that shit," paula protested, cringing at the sound of the nickname.
mateo simply shrugged off her complaint. "don't care, you'll always be polly pocket to me," he replied with a mischievous grin.
the two chatted for a while, with the music of tyler the creator's 'goblin' album providing a soothing background. as the music played on, the two fell into a comfortable silence, quietly humming along. however, it was clear that mateo had something on his mind that he had yet to express.
