My first puppy love triangle

Chapter 1

It all started when i was about 8 years old, i remember sitting outside my house watching how nice and pretty the sky looked, since it was summer the wind was fresh, the flowers from my moms garden looked bright and lively. I was sitting on the stairs from our front porch watching my oldest brother jay  play with his friends. They all lived in the same neighborhood so basically they were our neighbors. I knew most of them since they also attend the same school as my oldest brother and i. As i was about to go back inside since my mother was calling me to go help her prepare dinner, i then see a really cute boy arrive with another guy who I'm guessing it's s his brother. I've never seen him in the neighborhood i guess he's new around here. He looked like he was around my age, maybe a year older. He was thin, tall, nice dark straight hair, kind of tan skin and a nice smile. I couldn't stop staring at him, he was such a cute boy i bet he has a lot of girls after him i thought. After looking at him for a while, he noticed me staring at him and smiled at me. I got embarrassed that he caught me staring so i quickly ran inside. I felt like my heart was about to burst out.

The days began to pass and every time i would see my brother with his friends outside our house ,i would see him there laughing at what my brother would say. I would try to stand next to the living room window to see him but every time i would try my brother would send me back to my bedroom to prevent for me to get near his friends. It went on like that until school began. Since my parents would always be working they would drop my brothers and i to my grandmothers house since our school was about 4 houses away. My aunt would walk my cousin, brother and i to school but since it was the first day of school we had to enter the cafeteria to look For our names on the wall In order to know who's our teacher for the whole school year. My youngest brother would stay with my grandmother since he was only 3 years old at that time. My oldest brother was able to find his home room teacher so he left with his friends. My aunt helped me and my cousin looked for our teachers, after we found them my aunt dropped off my cousin and then she dropped me off. I was kind of nervous since it was my first day as a 3rd grader.  I walked inside my classroom seeing that i had a few friends that i already knew i went to sit with them. As i was about to start talking i see him walk in. I couldn't believe he was in the same class as me. He then goes and finds a seat with the most popular group in our classroom.

Once everyone arrives our teacher asked for each one of us to introduce ourselves to our classmates, once it was his turn he stood up and went up to the front of the class. He smiles and looks around the classroom until he stops and looks at me and smiles cutely. I smiled back and turned a bit red. Hi my name is Emerson i hope we all get to be friends he says smiling at everyone and goes back to his desk. After 4 hours of being in class we head to lunch. As i was chatting with my friends while eating he stops next to me and asks " hey aren't you jay's sister?' I look at him and say " yes i am" "i hope we get to be good friends Kaliyah he says smiling. I hope so too i say smiling back. He then goes and finds a seat next to some guys.

After we were done we went back to our classrooms and began with the lessons. After a few hours of being in the classroom it was time for P.E. Our p.e coach separated the girls from the boys. So the rest of the coaches had us playing tetherball, as we were playing i watched one of my girl classmates talking to Emerson. I could see that the girl liked him. She kept trying to wrap her arms around his but he would try to move away. It made me giggle a bit but I continue to play with my friends. After p.e was done we went back to class, as the hours pass it was time to go home. I had to wait for my brother to come get me so I sat down next to a tree. As i was waiting, i see Emerson walking with his brother. He then waves at me goodbye and leaves. Finally after 10 minutes my brother arrives and we walk back to my grandmothers house.

We arrive safely at our grandmas house, my aunt already had food ready for us to eat. I could still smell my aunt's homemade Mexican soup. She even prepare us homemade tortillas and cooked beans. My grandmother even had a nice cold soda inside the refrigerator for us once we eat. My cousins, brothers and i ran to wash our hands so we can eat. Once we were done we headed to the dinning table with our plates already served for us. we sat down did a quick prayer to thank the lord for our food and began eating. After we were done eating we had to do our homework. Once we were done we were allowed to watch television in the living room. After 2 hours my mom would arrive and pick us up to take us back home. Everyday was the same thing.

As the years passed Emerson and i began to get even more closer. At home we would talk and play, and at school he would hang around with his friends who were popular but he wouldn't really speak to me unless he was alone. As we went up grade level i began to notice how he would stare at me. He would look at me like if I was the only person on this planet. At first I didn't think to much of it until one day on a late evening he came to hangout with my brother and the boys. They were all inside my brothers room playing video games. Since it was already late, I was in the living room about to go back to my room. In our old apartment our living room door to come inside our hallway to our rooms was right in front of my brothers bedroom door, so when I opened the door I didn't know he was behind the door about to leave until I opened it and accidentally walked in straight into him. We were so close on kissing each other but i quickly moved back from him. He looked at me in shocked but continue to walk ahead from the rest of the guys. After they all left jay asked me what happened but I was too scared to tell him.

After we finished elementary school that's when everything began to change between us.
