I heard little taps on the window with the fall leaves hitting against my window. My old window. I was packing my stuff to leave for my new apartment, and I was really sad. I'm an emotional little people person. I looked around the room seeing nothing but empty walls and a ton of boxes. When I finished packing 3 of my suit cases I loaded them in to the car. I ran back up to see my Aunt Jenna looking around, standing in the middle of my empty room.
"Evalyn," Aunt Jenna started to whisper.
"I can't believe you are actually leaving." as she started to cry.
I walked up to her and gave her a big hug.
Jacky walked in and gave me a box with the words "For Evalyn." I asked "What's the box for?" And she replied quietly trying to hold back her tears
"It's for you, I want you to remember me." About to burst into tears. I squeezed her tight and she handed me the box. I put it with all the other boxes on top of my bed.
"I will never forget you Jacky. You've been there for me in my entire life. I can't believe your fourteen, " I wiped a tear.
"I can't forget you two ever." As we all formed a little group hug.
I grabbed the boxes afterwards and loaded them all in my car. When I walked in the house I was surprised to see Jacky and Aunt Jenna standing there with ice cream cake saying "Happy 18th birthday Evalyn"
I blew out the candles and we all shuffled to the table. We quickly ate the cake so I could leave so I wouldn't get stuck in traffic. When I popped my black buttoned jacket on I turned to them seeing them smiling and waving me goodbye. I waved good bye and closed the door.
It was only about 1 hour and 30 minuets to get to the apartment and when I walked out of the car I saw a big fat revolving door. I LOVED THOSE THINGS! I would spin around, and around, and around. "No, I'm 18 I can't do that anymore." I thought to myself. Yet I still went around twice. I saw a boy
at the front desk.
"Um, H-hi I was wondering if you h-had my keys t-to the apartment B2?" I stuttered. He smiled and gave me the keys.
"Hi, I'm Alex. I'll be around here most of the time. You can come to me for any help." The boy behind the counter who was apparently named Alex. He looked as if he was 18, he looked young and winked at me. I'm hoping he's not a weirdo like everyone else thinks I am. He seemed cool and not bad looking. Not like I have a crush on him.
I walked to my apartment seeing that it was HUGE. It had a full kitchen, a flatscreen TV in the living room, 2 bathrooms, washing machine room, and then there were stairs where the whole second floor was my bedroom and a guest room. Talk about a sweet place. Then I thought, how many people are staying here? Me, one, party of one, solo uno, it was my apartment. I looked around the apartment a little. Upstairs there was a huge crystal blue mirror near my bed which I loved. It was getting late so I hopped into bed and snuggled in my new apartment.
I woke up and got in my normal clothes. I've never seen this side of town. So I decided to see what was around. When I get down stairs you know what's there? STARBUCKS! A Starbucks built in the apartment building I was in, what kind of heaven did I live in? I went to go talk to Alex a bit cause he's pretty cool.
"Hey Alex." I said
"What's up." He replied
"Just saying hi."
"Hey I never got your name. What is it?" He asked
"The names Evalyn, but call me Ev." I replied
"Cool." He smiled
"Do you live here?" I asked. In my head I face palmed thinking I sound like a creepy stalker.
He quickly answered " Yeah actually I live right next door so if ya need help, or even a friend just go down to B3." And he smiled.
"Hey Alex, wanna walk around with me and grab a bite. I'm starving."
"Same here lets go."
We walked out and the first thing I saw... Chipotle. I froze and started poking Alex. He saw what I was looking at and dragged me there. "You like Chipotle?" He asked on the way there.
"I LOVE IT!" I screamed to the world. I put my hand over my mouth realising what I just did. "
"How old are you?" We asked each other after the dead silence between us for 2 minuets. "18" we both replied in unison "Cool." I said. "Cool." He smirked. When we got there I had to ask,"Do you like Chipotle?"
"Ev, I'm like every other teenager, I love Chipotle, I love Starbucks." He laughed.
"On me." I said. "No way I'm letting you pay." He answered. We both ordered and I payed anyways.
"Thanks for lunch Ev."
"No problem Alex."
"How about we make this fair." He asked.
"What fair?"
"For you paying silly." He grinned
"Okay, if you really want."
"How about I take you to Starbucks?"
"Sure!" I screamed out loud again. I shoved my face into his arm realising I screamed again.
He started to crack up. We walked into Starbucks.
"Can I get a double chocolatey chip frapuccino low fat with whipped cream please." We said like crazy people reading minds.
"Ok." As the girl giggled and got it for us.
We sat down but I never really looked at Alex . He had black hair, and brown eyes. He wears plain tee-shirts with jeans and a jacket. The girl called our names and we slurped away and nomming on our Chipotle. I felt like I hadn't ate in days. For the rest of the day we hung out walking around New York. Around 7:30 we hung out at his place which looked exactly them same just different decor. He was also a party of one.
"We're gonna be great friends Ev."
"We are Alex."
"Got any friends?" I asked hoping he did so I could make more friends.
"No. Except you bestie. You're my only friend."
