Getting ready for the 2rd grade was something I never thought to be excited about.

Pulling my favorite bag over my shoulders and checking my clothes with a smile even with this unknown feeling burning in my stomach.

My mom had told me it was fear, or the big word she used 'anxiety' i was feeling anxious things could go wrong. Which made more sense once she explained what the word meant. I was starting a new and a fresh, I knew no one at the school and hoped to make at least one friend there, I'll be okay with just that.

Walking with my parents, their hands near touching me, keeping me close by them as we walk through the new big school.

The principal was what she, said her name was Lora. I like Lora already by her kind smile and the small chocolate she gave me on being so brave. I'd finished the treat when Lora opened the doors to a classroom, my new classroom.

Walls full of finger painting and scribbled art. Charts with names and stars next to them and a birthday wall that I noticed already had my name on it. I looked to my class who looked at me with stares of question. I immediately wanted to hide behind Lora but she gave my hand a small squeeze and told me to greet my teacher first before the scary part. I did as she said then turned to the class.

"My name is y/n l/n. Please don't bully me"

Some nodded with smiles on their faces and others gave a small playful laughs, taking it in as joke, though I was serious about the bullying part.

Then there was this kid with a blank face sitting at the back. He stared at me with nothing I could point out it out to be. Was he happy to have me here or not? I didn't know, he looked bored too. So I looked away from him and looked to the rest of my classmates.

<<<<☆>>>>

By the end of the day I made in totally 7 friends.4 girls and 3 boys. They were very nice to me and I think we'll be friends for a while, I can't wait to see them tomorrow. I think there is one who is my favorite out of all of them, Nora? Yeah I think that was her name. She was so happy and talkative and matched me in someways. I liked her afro though and the way she laugh, it was funny.

She waves to me goodbye holding her mom's hand now though going home. I sat at my seat and waited for any one of my parents to come fetch me, I waited with that strange kid from in the beginning. He stayed alone at a table in a corner while I sat in the middle. Our teacher writing away at her desk whatever adult worries she was writing. Then I heard it.

A rumble from across the room.

I looked back to see the kid staring at his stomach then sighing in his seat before sleeping in his arms on the table. He must have been hungry for a while. I'm not sure what pushed me, what told me to open my bag and pull out the half uneaten sandwich then walk silently over to his table, taking a seat next to him but I did.

He noticed the shift in movement and turned his attention to me, big green mixed withbrown eyes stare at me and I stare in awe at the color slightly now unhappy with my plain (e/c) eyes now.

"Here" i hand him the sandwiche with a smile placed on my face.

"What's that?" His eyebrow raises and stares at the food in my lunchbox pushed towards him. Did he not know what a sandwich was?

"Uhhh a sandwich?"

"I know that but why are you sticking it in my face"

"Because I want you to have it"

"I'm not hun-" as if on que his stomach betrays him and rumbles. He sighs deeper and take the sandwich from me without another word. I didn't really expect a thank you, he didn't seem like the type-

"Gracias oh uh...Thank you..." i take that back then.

"No problem!" He speaks Spanish too!

He eats silently staring out to the front at the door when I lay my head on my arms on the table and stare at him.

His hair is curly dark and in what likes like twists, they look more like snakes to me. His skin is smooth and golden brown but his eyes are the most capturing as I stare into them.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"Your eyes are really pretty"

He pauses momentarily when he stops taking a bite from the sandwich in his hold. The red seeping onto his cheeks making him look like a beautiful drawing to look at.

"You're cute too" I poke at his cheek and he grabs my finger in his hold staring at me with that same blank expression but he was studying over my face this time.

"You're cute too I guess"

He turns his attention away from me and goes on to finish the sandwich as my face burns and I smile him.

<<<<☆>>>>

Days passed by then a month and we entered a routine. The boy I had come to know his name to be Miles, sat with me whenever my friends left. I'd begged him to come sit with me and my friends who seemed more than happy for another boy to join us but the boy would usually refuse or when he did come sit with us he was quite for most of it, my friends still liked him as much as me.

Right now I'm telling Miles the dream I had last night about a dragon and a boy becoming friends which he listened unintentionally drawing on my hand while we did so.

"Y/n you had a similar dream last week"

"True but this one is different" I defend.

"Did they end up fighting then getting back together and lived happily ever after with their own girlfriends?" He raises a brow and stares at me amused.

"....." he takes in my silence as an answer and lets a small laugh out at you.

"You're so old. You're already forgetting everything" I want to take in his remark about to shout one of my own at him when a voice stops me.

"Miles ¿bebé?"

[Baby?]

A voice calls to him when I look up as well. The woman at the door was very pretty. She wore a red blouse and blue jeans. Her smile was almost as pretty as her green eyes. Her dark curls in a low side ponytail made her look like a modern say princess.

"Hi, Mami" Miles says besides me, stopping his drawing and gathering his stuff. This must be his mom then. I've never seen her in the month I've known Miles. The woman stares to me now and I give her a bright smile and walk with Miles to her. I hold out my small hand to the taller woman.

"Hello Miles' mom. You are very pretty, I like your eyes" she laughs and shakes my hand gently.

"Aww you must be the cutest, eres y/n?" I nod to her with a smile and she looks around the classroom.

[you are y/n]

"Is your mom not here yet?"

"Actually right on time" my mom's warm voice is heard behind Miles' mom and the two womem make some sort of expression before huge smiles splash over their faces.

"(M/n)?"

"Rio?" So Miles' mom's name is Rio? Such a pretty name.

The mother's hug and I look to the boy besides me who looks equally as confused before his face calms again.

"They're probably old friends" I nod at his response as the woman talk.

"I thought her name sounded familiar" Mrs Rio says as me looks at me then my mother.

"If it's not too much to ask can we catch up?" Mrs Morales says my momm.

"I'm free now actually"

"Amazing! Jeff would be thrilled and Aaron would most likely pop around to see his nephew soon"

"Amazing the kids can bond even more now"

"It's so adorable how much he speaks about her" they walk out telling as without warning as Miles and I followed after excited, or at least I did display it, for our first hang out and hopefully sleep over.
