lena -
I sat on the roof of the glum looking apartment building, staring off into the distance of fiery oranges, reds, and bright yellows. This was my favourite time of the day, I always felt calm and serene whenever the sun gradually began to lower from the sky that usually somewhat resembled the sea. I watched until the orange slowly began to dissipate behind the buildings that varied in size. Although most of them were pretty large. I sighed, almost slumping down to admire the gorgeous array of colours in front of me.
I would always say I hated living here with a passion, which mostly I did, but there was something about the view from here I just couldn't deny was absolutely breath taking. I was snapped from my trance when I heard the front door slam and a high pitched giggle come from what i'm assuming was the front room. Oh. My sister and her boyfriend.
I hated this time of day, mostly because I had to scramble up to my feet and leave the top of the tall building. I heaved out a sigh, slumping away and turning around to look at the sunset once more. It was now covered in mostly light purples and reds. I would stay up here, but if I did my sister would find out about my little secret spot and come to bother me every day or steal it. So with that thought, I jogged down the stairs and pushed open the door to our shared apartment.
You see, I had never actually met my sister's boyfriend. Or seen him. She usually hid him away in her bedroom or just left the house to go and see him. All I knew is that he was quite well off, and he had a lip piercing from the numerous times my sister had told me how 'Luke is so hot!', 'Oh Luke bought me this ring today, isn't it pretty.' Poor guy, knowing my sister she probably just want's him for money and good looks.
"Where have you been?" My sister questioned, squinting her long eyelashes at me and suddenly popping out from her bedroom door.
"Nowhere." I muttered, trying to sneak off to my room, but I was spun back round.
"Ouch, you're claws are hurting me!" I wailed, pulling my hand back from her grasp.
"They're nice aren't they, I got em done today. Luke paid." She told me, ignoring me and bending her fingers over so she could examine them. They were a fluorescent pink and about 9 inches long. Well, not literally.
I grimaced, trying to push her hand away from my face.
"I'm leaving goodbye." I sighed, scurrying off to my room, but once again I was pulled back.
"What now?!" I huffed in exasperation, getting ticked off.
"Me and Luke don't know how to cook noodles, so you're gonna have to help." She told me, giving me an almost pleading look.
"What? It's so easy just rea-"
"I don't care, lee. I just need you to cook us them, please?" She begged, giving me a look.
"I mean, I wouldn't normally eat stuff like this because I need to keep this up, you know?" She said, gesturing to herself. "But I guess I can make an exception." She told me.
I rolled my eyes.
"Fine."
"Yay!" She squealed, skipping back to her overly girly room.
I rolled my eyes once again, dragging my feet over to the small counter that was just across from the living room. I also reached up, opening the cupboard and grabbing a sauce pan, fishing out two packets of noodles and setting them down on the counter. I flicked the switch on the kettle, it quickly rumbling to life whilst turning on the hob. I lastly tore the packet apart, placing the noodles into the sauce pan that I earlier filled with water. I tapped my foot against the wooden floor, waiting for them to finish boiling.
I decided to get changed whilst waiting for them to finish. I sauntered to my room, going to the left side of my bedroom and opening my closet. Grabbing an oversized all time low shirt, I threw on some short shorts and tying my hair loosely in a messy bun. I couldn't be bothered to take my make up off. I figured the noodles would be ready by now, so I scurried back to the kitchen and collected two plates from the cupboards and scooped the noodles out onto each plate.
I knocked on my sister's door, balancing the plates on each hand.
"Come in!" She shouted, acting like the prissy princess she was.
I rolled my eyes for the third time today, pushing open the door with my foot. I was quite nervous, to be honest, I wonder what this boyfriend of hers was like. Most probably a fuckboy, they all were.
I came face to face with my sister's room. Grimacing at how pink and floral it was, I set the plates down on her double bed, which she was sat on.
I slowly turned my chin upwards, still curious of the new boyfriend.
Well, that's definitely not what I was expecting. He was clean shaven, a black ring circling his pink, plump lips. His blue eyes were bluer than the sky on a summers day. Kind of like mine actually, but he looked way better. He also had a nicely shaped nose and blonde hair that was kind of a quiff but swooped down. He was definitely hot, that's for sure.
We stared back at each other, kind of examining each other I guess. That made me uncomfortable so I shuffled around on my feet. His pupils kind of dilated when he saw me, his eyes widening. Was I that bad? Jeez.
"Um well enjo-" I began, but I was cut off.
"Hi, i'm Luke." He chirped, reaching out his hand.
"Cool." I said flatly, keeping both arms at my sides.
"Well, gotta go." I mumbled, turning around again.
"Wow, someone's grumpy." He muttered, hoping I didn't hear.
"What?" I asked whipping round.
"Nothing." He smirked.
"Wow, someone's a dick." I shot back.
"Wow, someone's a-" He started, before frowning and biting his lip in embarrassment.
I smirked in satisfation.
"Okay guys, break it up!" My sister yelled, being over dramatic as usual.
"pinchazo estúpida" I huffed, not even considering the fact that Luke was so confused as to what I just said.
