I hope we meet in every universe.

seniors together

The day I always thought would be so far from me. Since I was in preschool. My first last day of school. It was my senior year. A lot of.. emotions I can say the least. My dad told me that he wasnt looking foward to today, but he was happy for me. "Pues, have fun mija." He told me and pat my shoulder. "Thanks apa." I replied and walked out. Isa got a car for her birthday, so she picked all of us up. "Get in!!" Isa yelled as I got inside. Sitting down next to Mel. "You look pretty Mel" I whispered and she smiled. Me and Mel were matching today. With our navy blue shirts and black shorts. When we got to school, all the seniors had to go to the gym for a "quick assembly".

"Good morning seniors! We are glad to host you all on your first day as seniors!" Bunch of blah blah blah stuff. Some kids were actually crying? It was so funny like what are you crying for. Once it ended, I went to class with Mel. Before senior year, me and Mel scheduled our classes to have each other in every one. We had four actual classes, and the rest were free periods. "Okay so we have 1,2,3,5 period together right?" Mel told me as we walked to our class. "Mhm, and the rest are free periods." I answered. "Ugh we have Miss. Turner again!?" Mel groaned and I replied,"My god. We are her TA." (Teachers aid). The only good thing was that we had three free periods. Also, we had Mr. Smith first period, and he was nice my junior year. When we got to his classroom, we sat in the back as usual. But I did notice this new girl. She kind of looked like.. Angelique?
...
"Baby whats wrong?" Mel whispered. "That girl?..She looks like my ex." I replied back staring harder. Mr. Smith had one of the huge classrooms in the school, so trying to make out someones face from far is not easy. Especially without my glasses. "It does look like her.." Mel added. I hope it wasnt her I really did. The chances of her being Angelique were high since there was a new girl. Maybe she was just someone I didn't recognize last year, or someone I didnt have a class with. Mr. Smith shut the door, and started talking. "Hello everyone, happy back to school. Just a few things I have to go over if you didn't have me last year." As he talked I saw the girl looking over at me. What the actualy fuck!! Was it actually her? It was creeping me out. "Oh and a new student is here with us today. She would like to introduce herself." Mr. Smith said. The hell? I never had to introduce myself.
"Hi my name is Angelique! Im from California and I hope to be friends with some of you!"

"Youre fucking kidding me." I said out loud. There she was. Haunting my senior year?? Hell no! "Lex if we just ignore her this year it will be fine! Please dont think about this, promise me." Mel told me and grabbed my hand. I nodded and just stared at Mel. I wasn't going to let her ruin my senior year with Mel and my friends. Or ruin me. "I promise. She wont bother us trust me." I whispered as Mr. Smith caried on with his rules.

It was lunch now, and me and Mel waited under the stairs now. Not our tree from junior year. We didnt have a seventh period, but we waited for Isa , Ale, and Adrian for lunch. As we walked there, I told them about my ex. Just to avoid her and stuff. "Omg yea Mel told me about her. What a whore not gonna lie.." Ale said. Isa nodded her head calling her names as well. "Well we dont wanna act like her you know?" I replied and started laughing. When we got our lunch, we sat at out table. "Dude this looks so good." Adrian told me. "Yea cause youre a fatty." Isa added and sat down. "She called you a big back!" I yelled and started laughing with Isa. "Omg you guys eat your food! I wanna see the band perform outside today." Ale said. Me and Mel nodded our heads and began eating. "Baby shes looking over here.." Mel whispered to me. Angelique was walking with two girls. "Ignore her amor she just wants to intimidate us." I replied and held her hand.

The band started performing a little after we were done eating. It was the annual first day back to school performance. I wasnt here yet for last year's though. "Omg they are playing our class song!!" Ale yelled and started recording. She was in ASB, and had to record videos for the morning announcement video each month. So she found this stuff exciting too. "Hey im gonna go to the restroom!!" Mel yelled so I could hear. "Okay!" I replied as she left. "That girls bladder is so small!!" Isa told me and started laughing. I agreed and waited for Mel to get back. The band and color guard were actually doing good. I didnt know each class had a song, but it was nice. I felt like it made the seniors sad though, since it was our last year. For me it wasnt all that. Once Mel got back, the band played a few more songs and they stopped. "Omg they played so good!!" Ale told us and started jumping. Replaying it on her phone. "Youre so funny Ale" Isa said and lightly touched her shoulder.

Since me and Mel had zero periods for the rest of our classes, we went to her house. It didnt take us long, since we were walking fast. She was tired from walking around school and wanted to get home. "Im glad my mom got more hours at work. I wont have to see her a lot." Mel told me as she opened the front door. Of course I didnt know what to say so I just nodded. "Upstairs?" I asked.
"You already know itt" Mel told me and grabbed my hand. "I wanna sleep so bad!!" She yelled as she jumped on her bed. Instead of sleeping, I decided to do some work for my pre college classes. In junior year, I had to apply for scholarships all over again, so I wasnt happy about where I was going to go. Me and Mel werent talking then, just friends, so I really didnt think about our relationship if we went long distance for college. Was it something that made me nervous to think about? Obviously. I didnt want to be away from Mel. I barely could go a day without her. But, I did apply for some colleges I really want to go to. One in Missouri, Michigan, and Los Angeles. All for architecture. Mel on the other hand wanted to go to UCLA, a school I applied for. If I get accepted with her, I will definitely go. A few hours went by, and my dad texted me to go home. "Mel I have to go home my dad texted me.." I whispered to her. "What? Already?" She said as she woke up. "Yea, I will text you when I get home." I replied and gave her a quick kiss. "Bye amor" I said and she smiled with a little wave. I couldnt wait to tell my dad about my first day.

"Apa!!" I yelled and ran to him in the kitchen. He looked up and replied. "Hi mija how it go?" He asked and gave me a plate with food. "Apa it went to good!! It was fun today and I like my classes!" I told him excitedly. He laughed a bit and smiled. "Im glad you had a good day mija. Como esta Melanie?" He asked. "Shes good apa, she was tired after today though." I answered and started eating. "That good. I got you something from when I was in highschool. Esta en tu cuarto." He told me as he ate his food. "Thank you apa, I check it out when im done eating and washing the dishes." I replied and gave him a little smile. Maybe it was some clothes he didnt know what to do with again, or clothes that reminded him of me. Whatever it was, I would like it either ways. When I finished washing the dishes, I practically ran upstairs to check out what he got me. It was a bag. A soccer bag, his from highschool that I saw in photos. He told me it was a gift from his dad before he passed. It meant a lot to him why would he give it to me? I walked out my room and went to his. "Apa this is the one you showed me in the photos? Whyd you give it to me it was from abuelo?" I asked. He nodded and looked up. "Because I think its time to give it to you. It was a gift from my dad to me, and from me to you mija. Esta bonita verdad. Mi gusta el color." He replied and pat my shoulder. "Thank you apa" I told him and hugged him. The bag was nice. The color was black from the outside, and the inside was lime green. Imma make my dad proud for my last highschool season.
