Ro- "Okay, okay". I quickly gathered my things & rushed down the hall with my sister. All day she had rambled on and on about the new students- secretly I hatted being a guide. Most of the students who had entered the accelerated program would just drop out.
The presser was intense- most nights I would stay up trying to complete all of the work. Only for frustration to build so deep down that I would only explode- taking it out on loved ones.
So I'm sure this new girl would be no different. I heard little about her- only that her and her brothers came from far away.
Reya was racing down the hallway like a bullet. Pushing the doors open with all her force.
"Dame Rey maybe slow down a bit."
" Thx to you were gunna be late. Aonung is already there waiting for us..."
Well great now I feel bad. Honestly this morning was ruf- I was at the hospital all night with grandma and all morning I was doing school. The only way to calm my nerves from everything around me was to smoke.
Finally, we arrived to the office and found Ao standing there looking pissed. I knew how he felt- always being guides and helping new students became tiring.
We slugged are way into the Mr. T s office. It was there I found myself amazed by a gorgeous ginger haired girl. I mean wow. She was wearing a black tank top that really showed off her feminine shoulders and slim waist. I hate to admit it but I could tell she wasn't wearing a bra- which kinda made me smirk. A pair of flare sweats hung low on her hips- I couldn't stop staring.
She looked nothing like her brothers, being pale and having glowing green eyes. Both her brothers had dark skin with light brown eyes. I wondered why ? Was she adopted ? We're they half siblings ? This thought lingered around my mind as my eyes kept draping around her body. I noticed how she had a few braids in her long hair framing her face. Her perfect face.
She then turned and made eye contact with me- oh no, I was caught. She seemed to smile then drop it- fuck I freaked her out.
I wasn't paying any attention to what Mr. T was saying. I was only hoping that I didn't fuck up too bad with her. She said her good byes to her brothers. I made the initiative to walk her out to the hallway.
"Hi I'm Rotxo, but some people call me Ro. I prefer Ro but Rotxo is fine..."
" Well hi, I'm Kiri" Her voice sounded tired and weak, even through her heavy accent.
" That's a pretty name." I hope that didn't sound weird- I mean her name is pretty...
" Thx" Yup she thought was weirded out- great. Two strikes Ro, two strikes.
The uncomfortable silence began to just linger within the air. I didn't know what to say- I already felt so stupid for my past encounters with her. I just started to ramble on and on about the school. She stayed silent until pulling herself into a hug. WAIT- is she okay ??? Have I been rambling so long I didn't even realize that she's overwhelmed ?
"Are you okay ?" I subconsciously leaned in closer to her. The sent of an earthy lavender filled my nostrils. The kind one would only smell if they were near plants- I wonder if she has plants ?
"I'm good, just a migraine." She pulled away making me realize how close I tried to get with her.
After seating myself in class I turned to look at her again- dame. I could tell her migraine was killing her, "Must be a bad migraine." Yeah no shit, way to state the obvious Ro.
"Yeah, how could you tell ?"
"You look in pain."
She mumbled out a "Yeah." I could tell how much speaking was killing her- I didn't want her to be in pain. I have known her for maybe five minutes and I already feel more for her than half the people at this school.
"I'm sorry."
"It's fine."
She turned away from me- no. I didn't want her to turn away, I wanted her to open up. Tell me why she looks different from her brothers, why she smells like plants, where she came from, tell me everything Kiri.
It was a true love at first sight experience for me. Something from out of the movies- loving someone with out even knowing them. Of course I knew realistically I didn't love her- but I knew I wanted to. I knew I wanted to get closer to her than I had with anyone ever. I've never felt so head over heels for someone- especially someone I just met.
"hhhh !" A loud sigh burst out her lungs- I knew she wasn't okay. But I also didn't know her well enough to help. I didn't even know her brother well enough to ask them for help.
So the rest of the class I just sat and watched her. Letting my eyes remember ever detail about her- the way she parts her hair in the middle, the large dangly earrings she wears, the flowers embroidered onto her light green converse, the way she twists and twirls her hair- everything. I didn't want to look at anyone or anything else ever again.
Eventually the bell rang. I bent over to pick up my bag and when I turned back she was gone, my face fell. Though a thought quickly emerged from my mind- text Reya.
Reya🌺🐚
Ro- "Hey can u plz invite the Sullys to lunch ??? ALL OF THEM !!!"
Reya- "YES !!!", "But... where is this coming from ?", " You HATE when I invite ppl to sit with us !"
Ro- " Well Kiri has a migraine & I wanna check up on her, but I'm sure she would feel uncomfortable without her brothers so... they all gutta come."
Reya- "Oh, is that the girls name ??? She sooo pretty- Lo'ak was telling me that shes adopted. Which makes sense cause she's white lol."
Ro- "Yeah she is pretty."
Adopted, well that answered one of my questions about her- I hope the rest I can ask her myself.
Reya- "But that's sweet you wanna check up on her🤔😉"
Ro- "STOP- ITS NOT LIKE THAT OMFG", "🙄🙄🙄"
Well it kinda is, but no one needs to know that. Not yet any ways.
Reya- "Sure..."
A huge smile appeared on my face as I realized that I get to see her again... I can't wait.
