I wish

Chapter 7

*Ari's POV*

I'm heading to Latins house today. I have never been to his house before, I obviously was nervous considering the fact that I like him but I can't tell him because Shaina from the carnival reached me on Instagram and told me more than she wanted to. I was a bit heartbroken because I don't want to hurt shaina but I also don't wanna hide my feelings forever, I assumed her love for him would die down in a bit so I guess I could wait. Latin and I are bestfriends and I'm glad.

LATER:
I made it to his house on my skateboard and I stood there in shock and maybe without noticing my mouth was opened and my jaw was to the floor, WHAT IS IT YOU ASK?....THIS KID IS WEALTHY! "omg" I said in shock. At the corner of my eye I saw Latin in the window looking down at me. "Hey!" He yelled down. "H-hey.." I said nervously, idk what to do he has a massive house and I'm standing here like I just seen a ghost. "I'll be right there, just wait" he said like he was in a hurry. "Okay" i said while side tracked. So tell me why this kid has a fountain in his front large yard with a bird spitting out water, I mean is he secretly a famous actor, or worse a singer?

"Hey, come on in, don't just stand there" he said signaling me in. "Alright" I said cautious while walking towards the front door. "Big isn't it?" He said while smiling
"Yeah" I said with a sour face. I mean this kid got literal gold in his home, like excuse me, me and my dad have wood and fake marble fr come on!
"So I'm gonna make us some food, are you allergic to anything?" He said, "uh...no" I said. "Well you can go upstairs if you like" he directed me to the upstairs, "okay" I said as I awkwardly walked up the stairs, "third door on the left" he said with a smile, ari get upstairs before he notices your blushing, I go upstairs slowly step by step as I look at the paintings on the side, then i stopped on one picture with latin, his hair faintly red as his mom's hair was red too, but it was so strange, he never mentioned he had married parents, I thought he only had his dad, or maybe I got the story wrong, but he looked so happy, as she cuddled him and they were laughing. "Looking at my pictures?" Latin said behind me making me jump, "sorry didn't mean to startle you" he said with a soft chuckle, "It's fine" I said as I took a deep breath in and noticed he made cookies.......nevermind......gross......raisen cookies.... "uhhh" I said as I gave him a little disgusted look, "don't worry these aren't ours, our dogs like raisens, we have chocolate chip in the oven now, wanna meet Remy and uh my dog eh heh, ari?" He soft chuckled "hm?" I replied confused, "no I mean my dogs name is ari, but it's short for Arianna, not arimefu" he started to laugh and I smiled back, that's cute. He led me to their backyard, revealing flowers and a huge garden, two dogs came running up and I kinda froze from fear, they both started barking at me as Latin calmed them down, "Arianna, Remy, this is arimefu, she's our friend okay?" He said in a lightened voice as if he were talking to a baby, Remy was a bull dog as Arianna was a Australian Shepard, Arianna approached me and started to sniff my hand and legs, she even looked up at me and then walked away to lay down, Latin looked up at me and his faint smile grew bigger as we both saw the same thing of Arianna, I smiled at him and seeing him smile was amazing, but we don't talk about that, I felt warm inside that day I know that.

*This is where it gets better because i made this when i was younger but now that i am older, you can rely on me to finish this off with more detail and so it makes more sense to my readers*

Me and Latin had that growing friendship that is described as if we weren't expected to be friends but we just suddenly became friends.
It just started at the park and it sailed from there. I never thought I would ever have somebody considered a friend but he makes me feel great, cheesy I know, don't attack me.

*Ari's flashback*
Kids were talking and running in loops around the gym while I was tying my shoes in the corner, suddenly Mrs. Stew told everybody else to stop and line up for dodgeball, i panicked and quickly hurried over once my messy shoelaces were tied crappy as I was in a rush. As i stood there, the chubby blonde PE teacher started talking in the annoying baby voice i hate. "Okay how about Gary and Wendell, you boys can be the team captains!" After that, the boys ran up with confidence and started nudging and pushing each other in such a boy manner and i rolled my eyes and stood there as one by one, the other kids got picked, soon the kids got less and less and i was still on the picking line and looked at the ground waiting for my name and i was a bit embarrassed and awkward standing there. They kept pointing their sausage looking fingers with dirt under the nails to people around me and their teams grew but i was still on the line. After awhile it was just me and a girl named missy left, she sat there with her hands behind her back and she twisted her body back in forth while shyly looking at Wendell who she had a crush on, unfortunately he was the one to get the last lucky pick and started to raise his finger, once he did he went back and forth with his finger and head. A few kids behind him whispered to him to pick missy and so he did and i was left there alone about to cry but i held back the tears and ended up forcefully going into Gary's team and Gary groaned and i was even more embarrassed.

*Current*
The flashback had me zoned out as i was thinking to myself and I hear my name and a hand waving in my face. Once I noticed i perked up and looked at Latin "sorry.." i said with an awkward chuckle and i looked at him expecting him to get bored with me, instead he just smiled at me and grabbed my hand and dragged me over to some flowers in a tree "ever heard of these?" he said as he nudged my shoulder and i brought my full attention "u-uhm no sorry..." i looked down with embarrassment and then back up and examined the lovely flowers "well I'm a bit of a nerd with flowers" i looked at him after he said that and he nervously chuckled and i stared back at the flowers "what are they?" I was curious about these mystically looking, soft, and purple flowers hanging on the tree. "They are wisteria flowers and they originated from china, me and my mom went there a few times and i learn Chinese for that very reason, my mom has some business there and she's away often and usually my sister goes along with her because she's thinking about school there" he lifted one of the arms and looked down at it with full concentration. I stared at him "you've been to china?" I was so shocked "you're richer than i thought" after i said that he sighed and turned to me as he gently put down the arm of the tree "inheritances mostly" he waved his arm as he said that "my grandpa that I never met apparently chose my dad to keep the money and since he passed, my mom took it in but it sorta changed us and her, we used to live in an average house on hunter road, do you know it?" I had a moment of silence while i was thinking and I remember that the street is considered a haunted street and the houses are so poor from over there "I think you're lucky or what not, me and my dad live in an average house right now" I chuckled but he didn't seem to return the joke and he seemed focused and he looked a little sad
"I'm sorry if I said something wrong" he instantly snapped and waved it off "no, no of course not, I'm just lost in this backyard, it was my idea anyway to design it, my sister got the wall decor and my mom got everything else" he smiled but it seemed fake. "Oh-" after that he grabbed my hand again and called the dogs in as we made our way back inside as well.
