"Elena? Elenaaaa... ELENA!"
Suddenly Elena jumps as she was very jarringly ripped from her daydream. She is sitting in a booth in her high school and looks up to find herself face to face with an older version of "the headphone user".
"Top" she replies, anxiously.
Her french accent just as pronounced as the day the two teens met.
"Sorry. I was ... thinking".
She's pretty embarrassed that he just caught her staring into nothingness like a fool. Top had grown a lot since he and Elena met. He wound up hitting a growth spurt at age thirteen as boys usually do. He now looms over her at times standing an athletic five foot ten inches tall. She her self, just barely notching a average five foot five inches, would feel small at times recalling the times were they once stood eye to eye.
"Well, Hope they were good thoughts." Top replies amusedly.
Elena shrugs.
"I was actually just thinking of the day we first met. So I guess technically it was nice but not by much."
Top grins.
"I can't believe its been five whole years since you moved to America."
"I can't believe we've been bestfriends that whole time without even a single fight. How does that happen?"
"Oh thats easy," 'Top scoffs "Im just a really great person."
"You're an ALRIGHT person Top."
"You not lying to nobody but yourself Ellie."
Elena laughs loudly and reaches down to grab her backpack and stands to follow Top toward the bus to take them home.
"So Top, now that its the end of our first day, what do you think about being sophomores?"
Top shrugs.
"Honestly it just feels like being a freshman except they call it sophomore."
Elena has to stifle her giggling.
"Now that was funny".
"I wasn't joking."
"I know! Thats what makes it funny."
Top, rolls his eyes.
'"Do you like any of your classes?"
'"Yea Just like... ONE if my elective classes."
"Which one?"
"French two."
Top shoots Elena a dirty look and Elena flashes a bright smile in return.
"But you already speak french."
"Yea so it should be an easy A right?"
"And thats the only reason you like the class?"
"Well yea, my best friend was supposed to join me and giving me something else to like about it but I think he said something about Spanish 'feeling' better."
"Oh you got jokes now?" Top adds, still eyeing Elena. "Cuz that ain't what I said."
"Only the funny ones, but anyways Top. I am SO excited to see how you interact with your mom these days. Im so happy with how far you've come allowing yourself to be loved by her. After all this time that's past I would be pretty mad if you were still calling her 'miss isabella'. That was so cringey!"
