Camila
The smell of rain overwhelms my nostrils as I tug my raincoat closer to my shivering body. I was never one for the cold, but I loved the rain. It was just something about the light pitter-patter sound it made as it fell onto the streets and sidewalks, it made me feel good, light even. Whenever it rained I couldn't ignore the small water droplets, I had to watch them. My art project is safely hidden from the wetness inside my raincoat clutched tightly to prevent the rain from ruining it. I round the corner and my street comes into view. I speed my walking pace up to lessen my time in the rain. The less time in the rain means the less time there is to ruin my painting is the way I see it. I may love the rain, but I wouldn't sacrifice my precious artwork for it.
I retrieve my keys from my pocket and unlock my door sighing once i'm in the comfort of my own home. I slip my boots off and walk towards the kitchen after feeling my stomach growling.
"Hey fridge! What can you feed me today?" I asked the white fridge in the corner of the kitchen. I opened the door to the fridge and a smile immediately broke out on my face when I saw the jar of Nutella on the top shelf. I raised myself so that I was standing on my tippy-toes and retrieved the jar from the fridge. Grasping the Nutella in my hand I slammed the door shut with my hip and grabbed a banana from the fruit basket. I ate bananas with almost everything and I wasn't afraid to admit it. Every since I was a child I had a love for bananas, I developed an obsession with the yellow fruit.
"Camila loves bananas b-a-n-a-n-a-s." I sung to myself as I covered the peeled banana in the Nutella. I hum in appreciation after the first bite and retreat to my room upstairs.
I plug my earphones into my ears and take my art project out. I figured I should finish the picture first before I get lazy later and decide against it. I look the pictures over and gasp when I realize what it is. Oh come on Camila, seriously?
I stare at the familiar green eyes that used to stare back at me with so much love. Her perfectly shaped eyebrows raised in an appreciation. I even took time to draw in the way her eyes crinkle as she smiles, the way she squints slightly into her smile. I got everything perfectly down as if Lauren was standing there modeling her smile for me as I drew. I couldn't get the green eyed girl out of my head and that was made painfully clear now that I'm looking at this picture.There's no denying the fact that I drew Lauren's eyes while she smiled. I missed her.
I finish shading in the green of her eyes and draw her black hair cascading down her shoulders. Once I'm satisfied with what I've created I begin to put my supplies away. As I shut my supplies drawer I hear the front door opening and quickly slamming shut. My parents are probably arriving home from work. A smile takes over my face when I hear small footsteps racing up the stairs and towards my room. My door is pushed open and in seconds my little sister is jumping into my arms.
"Hey Sofi, I missed you," I mumble into her hair as I hold onto the younger girl.
"I'm hungry," she mumbles pouting.
"Wow," I pouted mirroring her face, "You didn't miss me?" I pretended to be upset
"I did, but I am also hungry," she rubs her stomach.
"How about we go help in the kitchen? That way dinner will be ready faster. Does that sound like a good idea to you?"
Sofia nodded before kissing my cheek and dashing out of my room.

"No Sofi! We are not watching Tangled again. You've watched it over ten times."
"But Camila I love Rapunzel, she's my favorite."
"Why do you love her so much?" I asked my younger sister with a raised eyebrow. More importantly I wanted to know why she liked Rapunzel so much that she had to constantly watch this movie. She watches this movie more than a priest reads the bible.
"I like her bravery, oh and her hair. I love her green eyes the most," she smiles as the movie starts. I stare at Sofi for a minute before averting my eyes and focusing on the television screen.
I guess the Cabellos have a thing about loving people with green eyes.

Hey guys! I'm sorry it took so long to update. I've been swamped with school lately. Hopefully in the future, you'll have regular updates. Btw picture above is not owned by me. Just imagine it's more like Lauren actually smiling. So this is more of a filler chapter, hence the reason this is titled 2.5. I will be writing way more than this for chapter 3. Most of my chapters won't be this short, but I didn't feel this needed any more than this. Anyway I hope you enjoyed this. Let me know what you think guys, don't be shy! Feedback is always appreciated.
Thanks for reading (:
