Memories

Felix De la Rosa

Damn, all of math class I could feel a shit ton of eyes on me. Good thing it's over now. I roam the halls alone, I don't keep too many friends since I'm always on the move.

"Felix! Where ya goin?" Matthew called out from behind me.

Man, was I glad to see him again. He was my only friend here and if I don't wanna seem like a loner, I gotta hang with him.

"Matt! I'm going to my sixth, science. Where's that at bro?" I asked

"We'll get you to class later man. Remember Edward, Jaiden, and Luis? They're all here man!" Matthew says, walking forward, telling me to follow him.

I haven't heard those names in years. We all played soccer together and were really close. Then I got moved. Again and again. Matthew and I chatted about what we've been up to on our way. The halls crowded and almost over flooding.

"You still a defender, Felix? Or did ya decide to switch it up?"

Matt asked, almost shouting because of the loud conversations of everyone else.

"Yeah man I'm a centerb-"

Before I could finish my sentence, someone stopped me. Someone bumped into me. It wasn't a casual "oh I'm sorry!" Bump. It was with so much force that we both fell down. Maybe since the halls were so crowded, someone else pushed them onto me and that's how some girl was now basically sitting on my lap. My back was against a wall, eyes wide open. I looked down at my lap, where a girl with long hair with blue rubber bands in it sat. I didnt know what to say. How did we even get here?

"Ack! I'm so sorry- I didnt even mean to land on you I'm so sorry-!" The girl frantically apologized. She didnt really make an effort to move, and I couldn't either when she was on top of me.

"You gonna stay there?"
Is all that came out my mouth. It came out kind of harshly, and the blank glare I gave her didnt help much either. She stood up quickly, very embarrassed. I got up after she walked away and Matthew bursted out laughing.

"Already got the ladies falling for ya?" He chuckled.

"Shut up bro."
