Catalina had just finished unpacking the last box of her personal belongings in her shared room with her brother Miguel, who still had not finished packing, when she heard her mom tell her to check the mail. Catalina walked out of her room and saw her brother on the couch ,scrolling through Instagram on his phone.
"You couldn't have gotten up to check the mail," Catalina said teasingly as she softly hit her brothers 'head as she walked past him. Miguel scoffed before getting up and shoving his phone in his pants pocket and followed her out the door.
"Here now I'll come with you, does that make you feel better?" Miguel asked once he caught up to her. The girl nodded in response giving her brother a toothy grin. Once the two made it to the apartment's mailbox, ad opened it grabbing one singular piece of junk mail, the two heard noia se behind them that caught their attention. It was one of their neighbors taking out the trash, and Miguel be,ing the friendly boy he was saw this as an opportunity to introduce himself, leaving Catalina no choice but to follow him.
"Hey I'm Miguel, this is my sister Cat. Our family just moved into 109," Miguel said following the man, Catalina a few steps behind. But close enough to hear the conversation.
"Great. More immigrants," said the man. Catalina scrunched her nose and furrowed her brows in discomfort. Great an asshole white man, she thought. Miguel didn't seem as thrown off by the comment as she was, and quickly responded telling the man that they're from Riverside.
"I was wondering if you were having trouble with your water pressure, cause our sink is being weird right now.." Miguel started but got interrupted as the man made it to the garbage cans and put the bottles in the wrong bin, Miguel was very passionate about recycling.
"Listen Menudo, i've lived in this shithole for over 10 years. The Pipes don't work, the fountains full of piss. The only good thing is I don't have to talk to anybody. So nice knowing you," the man said, Cat starting to feel bad for him and what seemed to be a shitty life.
"Ok, well.. have a nice day," said Miguel. Catalina choosing now to speak up and called out as the man drove away.
"It was lovely to meet you!" Miguel looked at her and the twins shrugged at each other before heading back into their apartment.
