Hello Big Apple

With the time zone being a bitch

                 

It's been five days since my first day and it has been good as of now. Especially with Sarah and the rest of them around. We all sat together during lunch and also while we waited to go back home. There were few times when they offered for me to hang out with them after school, but considering the fact that this was my first week and things back at my studio apartment was still messy, I told them I would join them some other time, probably after this week passes.

I made it a point to message my friends back at home and Louis every night. It was hard, with the time zone being a bitch, I hardly got the chance to catch up with them while they were available. So it usually worked this way, I send a message when they are asleep, and they reply when I was asleep, and the cycle continues. I didn't want them to keep themselves awake late night. I don't want them sleeping away in class because of me leaving them sleep-deprived. Howvever, since Louis was on holiday now, he would stay awake late nights watching football, so in the meantime, he would also text me or skype me. I missed them all so much. It's like a whole part of me was missing. Though there were nice people around here, it still felt incomplete. Well, I need to accept the fact that things always don't work the way we want them to.

I just sat at the edge of my bed after I came back from school. Mr.Evans has been a really kind and considerate person. He also invited me over to his house but since I had a party to attend, I would go over next weekend.

Oh my! I had a party to attend! I have never been to an actual party. It has always been those family stuff we have now and then.

I don't know what I should wear to the party. I'll just walk into my closet and check out on what I have.

I was about to open the closet when I heard a ring on the intercom.

Who could it be?

I pressed the button and look over the screen to see Zion.

Weird. He just dropped me off.

"Hey Zion. What's up?" I spoke into the intercom.

"Hey Lucy, can I come in?"

"Yeah sure. Come on up."

But he just dropped me like 15 minutes ago. What could it be? I opened the door for Zion to walk in. He had a bag from Forever 21 in his hands. What is he doing with a Forever 21 bag.

"Hey Lucy. Don't get startled."

"No no, I am okay. What are you doing with a Forever 21 bag Zion?" I said after leaving chuckle.

"Well, as much as I would love to say I went shopping for you, I actually hate shopping.", he smiles showing his dimples out. Ugghh, those dimples though. "Mrs.Evans got you a dress since you are going to the party tomorrow."

"Oh my god, that is so sweet. And you actually drove back all the way to give me this."

"Yeah I did and yeah she is a really sweet person."

"Thank you Zion and can you please pass a post-it to Mrs.Evans. I'll just leave out a 'thank you' note."

"Yeah sure. She would love that."

I wrote a thank you note and drew hearts all over it and passed it on to Zion.

"Okay then, I'll get going. I'll pass this to mu.... I mean, I'll pass this to Mrs.Evans."

"Yeah sure." I say abit confused, he was going to say something but he stopped. Nah, musn't be something important. He probably would have just made a mistake or something.
