I hope we meet in every universe.

meeting you

My name is Alexa. For reference, it is only me and my dad. We moved from a small town in California and moved to Seattle. We live in a small town and have a house that is big enough for the both of us.

It was my first day at my new school, I am a junior in high school. I was walking out the door of my home when my dad yelled, "Mija don't forget about your soccer bag!" "Sorry apa, I forgot!" I yelled back. I quickly went to go grab it and said bye to him. As I walked out the door, I was awoken by the cold morning air and felt relief. I love the fall, it is my second favorite season, but winter is my favorite. I start walking to my new school.

I sigh when I see the school. Bigger than my old school, and it had a lot of students. I am wearing some black baggy jeans, a grey flannel, a blue vintage carhart jacket, and my vans. "I don't even know where my first class is." I thought to myself. I walked to a building that was the office. Apparently, I was going to get a student in my grade to show me around the school or something. I walk inside and I talk to the lady up front. "Um hi, I am new here and the principal told me I was going to be shown around the campus by someone?" I told her. "Okay, go through that door, they are both waiting for you." She replies. I walk in the door and see both of them..

"Ah yes, hello there Alexa. My name is Mrs. Northridge, this young lady will show you around the campus." Mrs. Northridge tells me. I look at the girl, she is wearing some blue bootcut jeans, a navy blue zip up sweater, and some vans. "Hi, my name is Melanie! Alexa, right?" She asks me. She sounds so alert and happy, it makes me wonder how she has so much energy. "Oh yea hi, nice to meet you." I say sturnly. I don't know this girl yet, but if she shows me respect I will too. She starts walking out and hands me a paper with my schedule on it.
"Here, so you know your classes and your teachers names." "Thank you." I respond.

As she takes me to see the school, she noticed my soccer bag. "You play soccer? I do too!" She says excitedly. "Oh yea I'm not sure if I'll make the team though yet." I respond. She smiles and says,"You look like a good soccer player though." I smile lightly as she shows me all of my classes. "Well, that is all your classes! We actually have the majority of them together so I can walk you to them." She says. She sounds calm and energic at the same time. "Thanks, what classes do we have together though?" I tell her. "We have 1,4,5,7 together!" I thought she was going to say only two classes, but damn, we have our whole schedule together at this point. Only three classes we don't have together. "Come on, I will show you my friends!" She says as she grabs the strap of my backpack, not pulling it to hard but enough that I'm following her.

"Hey!! This is the new girl I was talking to you guys about. Alexa this is Alexandra and Isabel. Ale and Isa this is Alexa." Melanie says. "Hii I'm Alexandra you can call me Ale tho." Alexandra says. Isabel follows and tells me," And I'm obviously Isabel haha, you can call me Isa though!" I sort of smiled and said hi to both of them. The bell rang and I walked with Melanie to class. I awkwardly walked with her and she started talking. "So what do you like to do you know besides soccer?" I replied," Um, I mostly draw or use my skateboard. What about you?" "I like to play video games and I run alot." She replied. She was lightly smiling and we got inside our classroom. I was about the sit in the front of the class, but she pulled me aside. "What??" I said. My tone wasn't bad but I think I said it too harsh. "Sorry, you just don't want to sit in the front, the teacher spits alot." She said in a quiet tone so Mr. Porter didn't hear us. It is already my first day with a nice girl who wants to be my friend, and I almost fucked it up.

Once the rest of my classes were over, just like that the day was over. "Hey Alexa!! Over here come on let's go change for soccer practice." Melanie yelled. I followed her and her friends Isabel and Alexandra. Once we entered the locker room I started to change and put on my neon green cleats. "Damn nice cleats Alexaa!" Isabel told me. "Oh thank you yours are nice as well." I responded. Once all four of us were changed we went to the field. It was huge, like out of a movie soccer field to me. "Damn this is huge." I said to Melanie. She laughed and then she went to go get the coach. "Coach this is the new girl you heard about. You guys can talk while we warm up." I walked up to him and introduced myself. "Ok hija tell me about yourself and what your good at soccer." The coach said. I told him about my soccer skills, my old teams, etc. "Have you played varisty before?" He asked. "Yes, both years in highschool and all years in middle school." I replied. He nodded and then I went to go join the other girls. I don't talk during practice, I keep to myself to actually focus. Although this team wasn't like that? They laughed and talked during drills and conditioning. I was surprised the coach didn't tell them anything. "Whats wrong?" Melanie asked. "Nothing i'm just confused." I replied. "About what the drills or the rules? You seem to know them?" She responded. "No not about that, your guys coach doesn't yell at you guys for talking or laughing?" I said. She stared blankly, nodded no, and pulled me with her friends.

It was the end of practice, the coach and my teammates came up to me. "After thinking about it this practice, you're apart of the team. Your a good player, welcome to the team." He told me. I smiled and gave him a nod. I walked back to the bench to grab my things and Melanie came up to me again and said, "Congrats, I knew you were good. He usually doesn't accept girls this quickly, you got his attention." " Thank you." I smiled lightly and walked with her to the front of the school. " Do you walk home? If so you can walk with me, we probably live close haha." She told me. I laughed quitely and walked with her.
