Our Infinity Didn't Last Forever

TWO

ONE YEAR BEFORE

I open my eyes and the first thing I see is my bookshelve, full of books to the top and the tower of books that starts in the floor and finish about 1 meter higher than the bookshelve.

I've read each book minimum twice and enjoy reading them all, and I'll always will.

Since I'm a child I'm inspired by how authors connect each thought whit words printed in those magic papers that together make up different worlds, each one different to the other and create what someone's can call "a simple boring book" but I call "magic".

I hear my phone ringing and reach for it, it's my best friend, Alex. He's my best friend since kindergarden.

"Hi Sam"

"Hi Alex"

"So..I was thinking if you could be in my house in 20 minutes"

"Twenty minutes?! I'm not even dressed!What's so important??"

"It's a surprise, just take a shower and put on some clothes and come here"

"OK I'm going"

"I knew you will"

"OK bye"

"Bye"

I take a shower and put on my favourite jeans, a blouse and converse.

I run into my bike and ride to Alex's house, when I'm there I knock the door and Alex opens it.

"Could you just brush your hair a little?"

"You didn't gave me enough time!"

"OK, my fault, come in"

I enter and theres a guy I don't know. I look at Alex.

"Who's him?"

"His name is Peter, is my cousin, he's moving here and he's single"

"Hi Peter. And, Alex I don't care if he's single"

"The point is that you two are going to the cinema this afternoon"

"So that was the surprise?A date with your cousin?"

"Yup"

"I'm not going"

"I already book the tickets, there's no way out"

Peter enters in the conversation

"I don't know your name yet"

"I'm Sam"

"What's your complete name?"

"Samantha Oliver. And yours?"

"Peter Gray"

"Like the color?"

"Yeah"

"And it's your favourite color?"

"No! It's green"

"I don't like green to much, mine is blue"

"Blue?"

"Yes"

There's a long silence, maybe he just hate blue.

"Wanna go for an ice-cream??"

"You read my mind"

We walk to the park and stop for the ice scream. He orders a chocolate one and I choose vanilla.

"How is living here? Is it nice?"

"Yeah, well I don't now how is living in other place"

Then is silence and only silence for a while, then we talk about everything and I really hate his likes, they're totally opposite to mine.

After like an hour he goes to Alex's house and I go to mine.

The sky is turning dark and I can't stop thinking about him, I think I like him. I don't know what clothes I'll put on for our "date".I'm not sure why, but I wanna go with him everywhere.
