i woke up to my vanity lights glowing on my face, a wonderful way to start another school day. I crept out of bed and towards my bathroom where I showered and pulled my hair out of my face. did my makeup the usual, and left my hair to air dry. I walked downstairs only to find my sister making out with some lame ass from school on the couch at 7:00 am, tf wrong with her. my mom had made me start eating breakfast in the morning, over the long ass argument we agreed on smoothies with toast.
after eating and listening to my sister basically have sex on our coach, I go upstairs and straighten my hair, throw on some clothes and do the rest of my morning routine.
bouta hour later I go to hell, sit through the same classes I do everyday until the day is over. everyday, nothing changes same boring lifestyle. the only changes are the clothes being worn and the boys my sisters screwing.
i got in the jeep I bought myself for my birthday, and drove away listening to gangsta by kehlani on repeat. pulling in my drive way there's a huge moving truck next door with two boys piling boxes out and stacking them in front of the garage. I absentmindedly stare at the viable back muscles through their sweaty t shirts.
...my mom was home and packing in things to make tamales, I asked what she needed those for considering it wasn't even close to Christmas, and we only got tamales during the holidays. she ignored me so I asked again, this time she yelled at me "MIDA, we have new neighbors , now help me make them!" when she yelled her accent got thick and she started speaking little bits of spanish.
my mom sent me over to our neighbors to invite them for dinner at 7. I walked over and knocked, one of the boys I saw earlier answered the door. he was at least a foot taller than me. with hazelish eyes, dark brown hair almost black, and a blue strand of hair. he didn't have a shirt on and I was trying so hard not to look down and his abs.Ethan
someone knocks on the door, and I run to get it. a short brown haired girl is standing there just staring at me. she had long brown hair and eyes to match. I wanted to say something but I couldn't speak, Jesus she probably thought I was weird. she spoke first " uh I'm your neighbor, my mom sent me to ask if you'd like to join us for dinner?"
her voice was soft and angelic,
" yeah I'm sure that'll be fine, what time?"
"7"
" ok see ya then"
