Deixa Acontecer

4th grader and freshman

Alexandre's pov:

- Ôh, Alexandre, você vai se atrasar! - My mom yelled. (Alexandre, you're going to be late!)

- Tô indo! - I answered back while rushing down the stairs until I got into my mother's car. (Coming!)

I entered her car with my two sisters there already. Gabriela on the passenger seat and Beatriz by my side on the backseat.

- What took you so long? - Bea asked.

- I had to look good on my first day of school, don't you think? - I answered to my little sister.

- I think so, but I also think you failed miserably. - She said and I gave a little slap on her head.

- Bea, be nice to your brother. - My mom ordered.

- Miserably, - I repeated her words - how do you even know that word? You're in 4th grade.

- Well, I'm a very intelligent 4th grader.

- Really, Bea? Then say in what year Brazil had it's independence. - Gabi, my older sister, said.

- How the heck am I supposed to know that? - she asked.

- I guess you're not that much of an intelligent 4th grader. - I annoyed her.

- Do you know the answer?? - Beatriz retorted.

- Yeah.

- Say it.

- Why are we talking in English?

- Xande, what year Brazil had it's independence?

- No, but really, why are we talking in English? - I tried changing subjects.

- Because I want to, and need to practice it for the first day.

- Can't you practice when you arrive?

- That makes no sense.

- You don't make sense!

- That's such a 4th grader comeback. - Bea said, rolling her eyes.

- You're in 4th grade! - She didn't answer me, and just asked my mom to play Olivia Rodrigo, how she loved that singer.

We arrived school and for once I wasn't late. This wasn't my first day, it was monday but from the third week of school. To be real I never cared so much for school as long as I pass the year, I'll be ok, right? And I'm a freshman, still have too much to live, 9th year is going to be as easy as annoying Bea.

My first class was history, funny since that's what we were talking about in the car. History. I'm not good at it, but I'm also not good at math, or science, or geography or algebra... So there was no news in that.

The teacher, Rebecca, told us all to sit down so she could explain the project. It was something about partners and societes. Eh, not that serious.

Ms. Rebecca choose the pairs randomly, picking names and calling the roll (please read the author's note🙏🏻). I got paired up with a girl I've never seen before and what a shame I never did! Okay, she wasn't that pretty but she wasn't ugly either. I guess I was just happy I didn't get paired up with some weirdo, this girl seemed okay.

I got out of my daydreaming when the girl approached me.

- Hi, I was just wondering if... we are starting the project now or do you prefer to do it after class ends? - She seemed shy.

- Oh, hey. Um, no, yeah. We can do it after class. Do you want to do it at mine or yours?

- I thought we could do it at the library...? - the girl said.

- Um, sure, sure. Library. Yeah, meet me there when your last period ends, alright?

- Sure. See you later. - The girl walked away, than it hit me. I didn't get her number, or name. When the teacher paired us up she pointed at the girl and I didn't even pay attention to it. Well, its too late now. We'll have to discover that later.

I texted my mom saying I would stay at school for some more hours so I could work on the project and she said that it was okay and that I just should call her when it ends.

Nova speaks!

Heyy, just wanted y'all to know that I am on a HUGE writers block but I'm trying my best to update here. I'm also in exams/ finals this week.

Another thing I wanted to remind you is that I am not american! Well, I am but I am south american and english is not my first language, so I ask you to have a lot of patience since I'm not as good as speaking it as you. I have a lot of doubts related to it, one of them here was: how do you call it when, on school, you have to say you're there? Yk when the teacher calls your name and you go "I'm here!" or "present!" or whatever? I searched and it said 'call the roll' or 'take attendance'. But idk, can you help me pls?

Okay, sorry for such a long author's note and short chapter but I hope you liked it!

I love you, God loves you more, bye bye. See you next chapter! 💕💕
