Change.

Chapter 7

"So, where we heading to?" Mikey asked.
"The park remember" Nayla Laughed. "Oh right. "
Once Issac and I found the guys we got in, obviously and now we are here in the car driving to the park. Isaiah left, saying that he would meet us there but i kind of have a feeling he didn't want to. I want to text him though to see if he is still going. But what if i annoy him. Eh, I'll do it anyways.
To Isaiah:
Hey meet us at the park? We're heading there right now, probabaly get there in ten min. :)
Now to wait, if he responds. I put my phone back down and looked up,  only to see that we were getting closer to my place.
"Hey do you guys mind stopping by my house. I just need to drop off my things. Please. " I said before Mikey turned the other direction.
"Sure." Mikey turned to the right.
Once he stopped in front of my house I quickly got out but turned around and stuck my head inside the opened window "do you guys want to leave you stuff here too? You could even park here and we'll just walk to the park since it's close by." The guys nodded and said "sure. " but of course my friend would complain.
"Nooo. I don't wanna walk." She said while sinking more into the seat, like the drama queen she is.
"Nayla stop whining and get out. Come on lazy ass." I said, and she compiled. Not before calling me a bitch.
She's something else. We all walked up the stairs and I quickly got my keys out unlocking my front door. Nayla and I were the only ones that left our stuff since the guys didn't want to. So once we set our school bags in my closet we walked back out where the guys were and started walking to the park, at least it wasn't that far.
"Wait, didn't you say you lived close by Eva's house? " Mikey asked Issac to start a conversation. The only problem was that I was in between both of them. I started walking slower so that I could go and walk next to Nayla instead.
"Yeah, I live across the street three house's down the left." I heard Issac say.
I looked at Nayla and just started a conversation, ignoring the guys.
"Dude, where's Isaiah? Wasn't he coming? "
"Nayla, why do you always bring him up. I mean I don't mind but it's not a big deal if he shows up or not."
"I know I didn't think you would make such a big deal out of it. Is everything alright?"
" yeah why wouldn't it be?" I smiled. But I really don't know why I didn't tell her that I liked him or the fact that I was so confused because of how  I overreacted about such a small thing. I'm confused myself so I just didn't say anything to her. She'll just be as confused as I am.
"Alright, and I was just asking it's seems as though whenever I bring him up you get so defensive but ok, I'll trust you." Ugh, thank God she dropped the subject.
"Yeah sooo, how are things going with ..." I made a signal pointing to the left where Mikey was walking, still talking to Issac.
"It's great actually. You know the funny thing is that I never really thought I would find a good, kindhearted guy like him. I mean, It's not like I'm in love,...yet....but I really do like him you know?" Uh, no. I don't. "I guess I have an idea of what you are talking about?" I said in a questioning tone. Naya just lightly laughed and I did the same. Because let's face it, I don't and she know that too. "Soon you will though." I furrowed my eyebrows at her. "Really?"
"What I just said that you will know soon, I didn't bring Isaiah up, did I?"
I just shook my head and really laughed this time.
"You didn't but now you did."
Nayla just laughed and put a hand over her mouth. "I just caught on to that, sorry." I still just laughed.
We were crossing the street and we were getting closer to the park, not a little of people come at this time which is weird but I guess it makes sense since we do get out of school earlier than the other grades, such as elementary and middle schoolers.
Once we got closer to the swing set that was there I got on a swing which was hard for me to get on, let's not forget how short I am. And Nayla ran to the other one next to me like a little girl. "Omg, I've missed these so much!" Mikey looked at her and started laughing seeing how crazy and happy his girlfriends gets because of a swing. Issac and him were sitting on a bench which was directly about 8 feet away from us. I say this again, guys have this strange connection with each other, I swear.
I looked away from them and took my phone out noticing that Nayla was doing the same. I saw that I still had no message from Isaiah but didn't really let it get to me because I knew he had other things to do. And besides it's not like we are dating or anything.  I put my phone away and start swinging, seeing that Nayla was still on her phone, probably on Pinterest or something. I was still swinging and just kind of got lost in my thoughts, I wasn't really thinking about much though. It's just of like those moments when you stare at something and no matter how much you try to look away you can't, you just keep staring and you think nothing of it. Well yeah, this was one of  those moments. And my swing started to slow down.
A couples seconds later I felt two hands pushing my back slowly. I quickly grab ahold on the medal chains and felt the person continue to push me. I moved my head to the side to see who it was but then stupid me looks forward and sees that the guys were not seated down on the bench anymore so I knew who it was. "Issac, I could have fallen off the swing. You could at least told me before you pushed me." I said.
"My bad, I just wanted to see your reaction." He laugh. He thought that was funny, ugh he's so annoying.
"You should of seen your face though, you thought you were going to fall?" Nayla asked.
"Yeah I wasn't holding on, so yes I did."
"Nah, I got you shorty." Uhmm did I hear right?
"Alright, if you say so."
"Ha, don't believe me? Or what?"
"Well you didn't let me fall so I guess I do." I laughed at this it was such a meaningless convo.
"I guess so too." Hey said. I just shook my head and laughed softly. I saw that Nayla had gotten off her swing and was sitting on the bench with Mikey.
Time for me to get off before I loose all blood flow on my butt.
"Alright but I think I'm gonna get off though."
"A'ight. Let me stop the swinging."
"I think I can do so myself, thanks." I think he chose to ignore me or didn't quite hear me because soon I felt hands on me again but this time they were on my butt instead of my lower back, every single time I would swimg back towards the ground. I instantly felt my face turning red. As soon as the swing started slowing down, Issac got a hold of the medal chains and steadied the swing so I could get off,
"There you go." I felt his breath close to my ear but I just quickly jumped off the swing.
"Thanks." Was all I said. This guy is way to comfortable already. He just smiled.
I smiled back, I mean what else could I have done, smack him? Uhmm no.
"Let's go sit by them?"
"Nah I don't want to interrupt."
"Let's go sit on the slides?" I asked.
He shrugged and just said sure, so we stared walking towards them. I took a seat on the right side of the small, blue, double slide while he sat to my left, his legs spread apart. It was kind of awkward at first but again I tried to break the ice.
"Sooo....uhmm...do you have any siblings?"
"Yeah I got 4 brothers and a sister."
"Oh that's nice, it's it fun having so many brothers?"
"Not really, the older two are doing their own thing and the others are too young, 2 and 4. Love those little ones though."
"Damn must be so much fun for your sister though, huh?" I said using a sarcastic tone.
He laughed "yeah, she's always complaining about how she wants a sister." "I bet." We stared laughing again.
"But what about you, got any siblings?"
"Yeah a sister, but she's rarely ever home."
"Damn, must suck to be only around your parents."
"No they are never really home either." I sort of laughed but he looked at me, I guess trying to see if my expression changed. Which it didn't because honestly It didn't really bother me that my family was never really home. I never really had a great relationship with either of my parents and although I did have a great one with my sister, I grew used to the fact that she wouldn't be around as much. The awkward silence took over again. I cleared my throat, " but yeah. So do you play any sports? Well..I mean..do you plan on getting in the team?"
"Nice way to change up the subject." He laughed and honestly he's been laughing at me a little lately.
"Eh, what can I say I'm pretty sly with it." I shrugged my shoulders, then started laughing along with him.
"But no I don't plan on it."
"Aww, why not? Sports are fun. Or let me guess, you're horrible at them? I really don't think so, I think you could make it into the basketball or soccer team." I say while bringing my knees close to my chest and resting my hands on my knees, which made a sound due to the fact that we were still sitting on the slides.
"Nah, it's just not for me." "Uh huh."
"Yeah." And we are back to the silence  but it was no longer awkward. I just stared ahead at the trees. But took a glance his way. He was looking straight ahead too but then turned his gaze towards me once he saw that I was looking his way.
"It's funny how it's only what?- I check my phone for the time- 6:34 and it's already getting dark huh." Can I just say how weird and random that was. Ugh, Eva just act normal please, for once at least. He just smiled and nodded. "I have to start heading home."
"Oh really, alright let's go tell Mikey and Nayla, I bet they have to get going pretty soon too."
"Yeah." I started to get up and so did Issac. But then he stared talking again.
"Aye, you have fb?"
"Yeah."
"Oh you should add me on there."
"Alright I will."
"Alright. You better."
"You better, what if I change my mind ?"
He started walking close to my side as soon as I started walking towards the bench Mikey and Nayla were at.
"Then I'll just add you." He said with a matter-of-fact tone in his voice.
"Oh." Is all I said.
I'm honestly just making a fool out of myself today and infront of him, what the heck. It was the most Issac and I have talked since we first met and I got to admit he wasn't all that bad, at least not as bad as I made him out to be. He was fun to talk to. I just laughed it off and continued walking towards the other two. Finally getting them up and walking so we could get home. We first stopped by Isaac's place, he had asked me if it was alright if he left "his shit"- by that he means his schoolbag- at my place and he would just get it in the morning. Of course I agreed and something about that got me excited. Maybe it was the fact that I'm starting to get along with him or something. But anyways we said goodbye and then Mikey, Nayla and I went back to my place. But just like that Nayla got her bag said "see ya" gave me a hug and left with Mikey, who was gonna give her a ride home. I shut my door and went towards my living room which was where my laptop and desk were at. I sat down on my chair and then logged in to Facebook. I contemplated whether I should or should not add him today. Obviously I didn't want to seem to clingy or make it seem like I thought we were "besties" or something like but then again he did tell me to add him. Stop over thinking and just do it. So that's exactly what I did I search him up and added him. After all he did tell me too, right?

I saw that I had a new message, so I clicked on the message Icon and guess who it was. I am not even trying to make it sound like one of those cliché moments in those movies, where the girl adds a hot guy and then a second later he messages her. No. No. This is Issac Ramirez who we are talking about people and I am just a normal girl who it coincidently happened to. But anyways, I clicked on it and saw that he had said a simple aye. To which of course I responded to with a hey. And the conversation went on
