I hope we meet in every universe.

getting to know you

A week has passed.
Today I woke up earlier than usual. I felt like skating outside to see the blue hour in the morning. I love nature, and especially different times of the day. I walk to the kitchen and see my dad making his lunch for work. "Hi Apa." I tell him while grabbing my adidas. "Hi vieja, donde vas?" "I am going to skate since I want to be outside already, te veo mas tarde?" I respond. He waved by and responded with an ok. I hugged him and opened the door to leave.

When I closed the door and felt the cold breeze I sighed in relief. I was wearing some baggy jeans, a Tv Girl Shirt with a black long sleeve underneathe, with my black adidas. It was cold, but I liked it. As I was skateboarding I saw one of Melanie's friends, Isabel. I tried to ignore her, not in a bad way but I didnt feel like talking. "Hey Alexa!! I didnt know you woke up so early!" She exclaimed. "Oh yea I wanted to use my skateboard before school.." I responded. She smiled and then grabbed something from the bushes. It was a bike. "Oh." I thought to myself. I didnt know she knew how to ride a bike. "You mind if I go with you? We are friends after all!" She told me. Friends? I barely met her. Was I ready for a new friendship with three random people? I stayed quiet for a bit and nodded my head yes. While we were still outside, she asked me if we could go pick up Melanie. I just agreed since I wanted to go to school at that point. "It wont take long, she lives close." She says.

We arrived to her house and she walked outside. "Hi Isa and Alexa!" She said. I waved hi and Isabel gave her a little hand signal to hurry. She didnt have a bike or skateboard or anything. "Are you going to walk?" I asked. She looked at me and nodded. "Oh, you dont have a bike?" I replied. "No I dont have a bike I dont like bikes, but it's ok." She responded. Isabel started laughing and telling a story to me about how Melanie once tripped off her bike, and that is why she hates them. I laughed a bit and Melanie started laughing too. "See now who is making fun of me!!" Melanie said while she lightly pushed me. I will admit it, my walls werent fully open, but they werent closed anymore around them. I was actually laughing after what happened.

Half the day went by and it was 5th period. Melanie and I were doing our work, since the teacher told us we had time left to do other classwork. "Hey I have a question." She asks me. I bring my head up and take off one of my airpods. "Yea?" I asked. The tone in her voice sounded calm, and kind of serious. "Its not serious or anything, kind of something just to get to know you better." She replied. How did she know I thought it was serious? Was my face expressions different? I dont know. I nodded and she told me,"What do you like about our friend group and the school now that its been a week." I didnt have no thoughts about this. It was clear that I had mixed feelings about it. "Oh well I like it but it is alot of change. You guys have been nice to me though." I responded. She smiled and sighed, "Ok good I thought you kind of thought we were annoying." I looked at her with a questioned face and said no. She then grabbed my phone and put her phone number on it. "Here, so we can text and call each other now!" She smiled and then the bell rang.

After soccer practice I started to walk my seperate ways from Melanie, Isabel, and Alexandra. "See you tommorow!" They told me. I repeated it as well and waved bye. Once I got home, my dad was there sitting on the couch. "Hi apa." I said. I walked to my room and put all my stuff down, took a shower, changed, and went back to the living room. "What are you watching?" I asked him. He stared up from the tv and replied, "I'm watching my novela, it's nice. The food is on the table I made chiles reyenos con arroz blanco." I smiled and got up quickly. His food was good but not as good as my how my mom did made it. He tries his best though, and im grateful for that. "This looks good apaa" I said happily. He laughed and continued to watch his show. Once I was done eating and watched my plate I got a message.
