Summer home

Part of me

Part of her was kidnapped and crumbled after the man that was her best friend died
Michalina swore to herself that she would not get attached to anyone after he died
Past was left behind and never to be talked about, even if she wanted to she couldn't it was too painful, too memorable, three years later and Michalina is faced with a new associate down the neighbourhood road walking alone quietly staring ahead at her
Oh! new kid,she thought surprisingly. Discomfort was sensed around the dark blond boy, unexpectedly while passing they swapped dirty looks but both noticing their eyes, his where a sorrowful, chestnut colour and hers where the complete opposite delightful,vibrant watercolour eyes with a hint of forest greenery focused around her pupils,looking each other up and down for a split second clearly not liking each other as kids already, when the mysterious boy got to a  safe distance, further away from the teasingly beautiful girl he glanced back to seek for her attention but Michalina just kept on strolling further into the neighbourhood at last finally reaching her house which  caught the boys attention but the house wasn't the only 'thing' that he was glazing at...that evening they both layed there in their beds thinking about the weird acquaintance and the weird connection between each other...
It turned out that he was the son of the new neighbours moving into the house in front of Michalina's .

That was six years ago I now hang out with my 'bad influence' every summery evening it's like a chance to escape reality and live out my teenage years spontaneously. But it wasn't that easy I lived 2,002km away from him during school season,living in a completely different time zone,lingering around a completely un-identical town and watching sunsets settling into the stormy nights with completely different friends.
At the start of summer I started to bug him uncontrollably about going to a house party together:

"Sebastian pleeeeaassseeeeeeeeeee can we go to a house party"Michalina asks softly agitated already,with a hint of promise in her voice,over using the word please as usual to get her way "There surely has to be one on Friday if not multiple, by the way"Michalina says it miserably defeated after trying to reason with him for at least half an hour and deciding lastly if she should break the news now or to wait..
"Nah we can't go" Sebastian says it stubbornly ignoring the last bit "Why?" Michalina questions him repeatedly until he breaks "Cause there's going to be a girl that I like there!"Sebastian blurts out leaving Michalina frozen in place,but Sebastian keeps on going not noticing that Michalina is overthinking "and I'm nervous that I'll blurt out something stupid", No shit you just did it to a girl that likes you,Michalina protested inside her head,how could he just talk about girls that he likes to another GIRLLL

Silence was comforting for Michalina but not this one it was rather unbearable while she tried to think how to respond to the unnecessary information he added, she thought of a plan
"Then!"She suddenly exclaimed "we'll pretend that we're together..." She trailed off as to see what Sebastian was dead staring, he was looking at the perfectly visible moon, the view from Michalina's garden gazebo was unimaginable the moon was high up in the clear night blue sky with stars twinkling brightly, Michalina was caught off guard when Sebastian said "Yeah,why not"
"Wait, what??? Really?"Michalina sounded really surprised even though she suggested it
"Ya sure you'll help me get with her and it's just pretend so it's fine" Sebastian confirmed with his iconic smirk lifting his head up after fixing his low fade tapper, Michalina glanced at him and burst out laughing "Now as I think of it..I don't know if we're able to pull it off" Michalina speaks nervously  suggesting to back out  "Then.."Sebastian begins now "we'll have to make some rules?"Sebastian says it proudly as he thinks of it,which could have been the smartest idea he has said in years around Michalina "What kind of rules?" Michalina said it in a lowered tone with a smirk knowing that she got him in a choke hold about this  "Welll.." Sebastian stuttered for the first time in his life, turning red in seconds knowing that he doesn't have a reasonable reply, so Michalina started to speak " first of all we can't fall for each other because that would be just causing unnecessary drama obviously " she types it in her notes app which had way too many thoughts and random lists in it "Fine.., we're off to a great start so far" they went on bickering about the list
"To make it seem like we're actually together, we have to be around each other all the time which means... you have  to introduce me to your friend-  Michalina gets cut off after she sees a text from her mom to get inside because it's getting pretty late "group" she finally finishes after reading the message.       "We'll meet them at the party then."Sebastian says while trying to read Michalina's expression "What now, don't tell me that you have to go in" Sebastian finally speaks up
"Well I could ask to stay out longer" Michalina answers "But you said that we're just pretending to be together so- Sebastian cuts in "So we have to seem like we're actually dating" Sebastian states "True, but I'm an excellent actor, swear" Michalina sniggers at the end of the sentence "Plus your beautiful fake girlfriend needs her beauty sleep soooo, night Sebastian"Michalina manages to keep a mysteriously,funny look on her face, she stands up and starts to walk, Sebastian leaving with her to head to his house ,
Sebastian shouts| "And your handsome fake boyfriend has to get online with his boys to keep him still in the friend group that your about to meet" |while closing the gate with a wink at the end
