The wind was blowing in my face while my mom and I were jamming to Rihanna's new single work. We were on our way to our new home in New York. So far I've spent my 16 years in Toronto, but my mom thought a new start would be good. So here we are, June. 10th, 15 minutes away from my new life. Excited to see what my future holds for me.
We finally arrive.
"Marina slow down!" My mom yelled after me as I ran to the elevator.
"Hurry!!" I shouted back. I couldn't wait to see our new home.
*Ding* The elevator opened. I ran to door number 17 and opened it.
"OMG" it was so bright. smaller than my old home but in that cozy way.
"I told you it's nice" my mom said with a smirk.
The living room had a gigantic window over looking the city. The kitchen and everything else was brand new.
"I'm going to start unpacking my room" I told my mom. One of the first boxes I had seen was right beside the door that lead to my balcony. It was filled with books and what not that I put on my dresser. All of our big furniture such as our beds, couches, and dressers were already delivered. I grabbed the first two things I saw in the box. My jewelry box and makeup bag. I placed them on top of my dresser. A couple hours later of unpacking my mom called me to the kitchen.
"Yea?" I asked, she replied, "I have some exciting news, you remember the Gordon's?" My heart dropped.
"Obviously! come on mom I basically grew up with them"
Let me explain. The Gordon's were my neighbours for 6 years. There was Jazzy who I assume is 12 by now, Lexi who is 3 years older than me and Devin who is 1 year younger than me. We all use to be the best of friends. Seems like it was just yesterday me and Lexi were making up dances and Devin and I were fighting over who got to play the next round in Mario kart. Our moms were best of friends so we did absolutely everything together. It's been 4 years since I last saw them. I was 12 when their mom Shana broke the news that they were moving to New Jersey. I follow them on Instagram and everything, but we haven't talked in forever. They're all still super talented. Devin is in a group called The Bomb Digz. They're actually pretty good, and the other two members Daniel and Kevin are pretty good looking I must say. Lexi is in also in a group called Lucki Gurlz. So proud of both of them. They got me thinking that I should have stayed performing.
Anyways my mom continued, "well I just got off the phone with Shana and we're going to go over there tomorrow for dinner."
I screamed with joy. I couldn't wait to see them!
Devs POV
"Devin!" My mom called me down stairs.
"Yo kev pause the game." When I got down stairs Lexi and Jazzy both had the biggest smiles on their faces.
"What?" I asked. "Lau-," "Laura and Marina are coming for dinner tomorrow!" Jazzy interrupted my mom.
"Yea it's going to be great, you can introduce her to the boys" Lexi added.
"Cool" I responded, but on the inside I was freaking out. Marina and I use to be best friends. I lowkey had the biggest crush on her when I was younger. Dam looking back I was such a brat towards her. I use to throw my Legos and toy cars at her. It's been a minute since I last saw her.
"What's up Dev?" Daniel asked as I walked back into my room. I've mentioned Marina a few times to them, but not much.
"You guys remember my childhood friend? Marina? Well I guess she moved down here and she's coming over for dinner tomorrow." Their faces went blank.
"Marina? Like really fucking hot Marina?!" Kev asked.
"Yea I follow her on Instagram, Dev she hella smoochie, " Daniel added. I rolled my eyes.
"Yea, Marina, as in Marina that neither of you can have." Then I heard Kevin say something under his breath
"What was that Kev?" I asked him.
"I said we'll see about that" he's responded with a wink.
