Falling Slowly

Introvert or Extrovert?

 I get off the bus and my dad is waiting for me "Hermosa!" I smile "Anciano!" My dad freezes and puts his head down "Why are you so cruel?" I smile and hug my dad "I'm just joking." "How was the trip hija?" I smile "It was great papa!" Ethan walks over "Luna can I talk to your dad for a second?" I look at Ethan "OK." I go to talk with Jasmine and Michelle. Ethan smiles "Luna really enjoyed the trip." Javier looks at Ethan "What about you nino did you enjoy it?" Ethan smiles "I never seen Luna so happy it made the trip fun." Javier smiles "Please take care of my daughter she's gone through a lot and she can't keep relying on Jake he has a girlfriend." Ethan nods his head "Understood." Javier leans in close "So did you confess to her yet?" Ethan's face turns red and Javier sighs "I'll take that as a no...Did you tell her the truth about yourself or at least how you know her?" Ethan makes a shocked expression "Oh yeah...I never got the chance because Luna was so happy I didn't want to bring it up." Javier looks at Ethan "Why don't you come over for dinner." Ethan is shocked and Javier continues talking "Then you can tell my little girl all about you." Javier smiles and Ethan gets a sparkle in his eyes "Mr.James you're so cool!" I stare at the two "Is it me or does it look like those two have form a sensei student type of bond..." I become nervous "Oh nooo don't tell me Ethan respects my dad?" Ethan walks over "Luna your dad is so cool he invited me over for dinner!" I become as solid as a rock "Did you just say my dad is cool?" Ethan smiles "And i'm coming over for dinner." I repeat after Ethan "And you're coming over for dinner..." I stare at my dad angrily "Papi!" My dad becomes nervous and puts his hands up "Now now hija calm down it's your father no need to be angry." I feel a hand on my shoulder and turn to see it's Ethan's hand "Luna do you not want me to come over for dinner?" I become frantic "No that's not it." My dad puts his hand to his chin "Sounds like it." I stare at my dad "No i'm glad...Sorry if I hurt your feelings." Jake is shocked "did she?..." I smile "Did you think that was what I was going to say? Does mama even know you're inviting him?" My dad shows me his phone 'Melissa I invited Ethan over for dinner is that ok with you?' 'Javier you should've let Luna do it! It's more special that way! Yes bring him over I would like to meet this boy who's making our daughter heart skip a beat!' Javier smiles evilly "Shall I show Ethan the messages?" I force a smile "Oh papa don't be like that." I push my dad towards his car and look at Ethan "See you at 7!" Ethan smiles "I look forward to it!" My dad drives me home and my mom greets us at the door "Well if it isn't thing 1 and thing 2." I look at my mom "If papa is found in a river dead after today and i'm gone don't tell the cops anything." My dad becomes scared and I walk up to my room and plop on my bed "Home sweet Home...Wait a minute where are Artemis and Apollo?" "SURPRISE!" I jump up "What the?" Artemis and Apollo run and hug me and I hug them back "Oh so I was missed?" Artemis smiles "Of course!" Apollo nods his head "Dad kept making so many puns in spanish that I wished I couldn't understand what he was saying!" Artemis nods her head "And mom kept laughing!" I smile "I wish I could've bonded with you guys..." My phone begins to ring "Oh it's Dr.KIng...Sorry guys I need to take this." They smile and run downstairs and I answer "Hello." "Why are you avoiding me?" I laugh "Is that what it feels like? I'm sorry." Dr.King is shocked "Anyway Luna you seem stable going back to my notes...If you get the nightmares again please don't hesitate to contact me for a meeting." I smile "I understand thank you Dr.King." I hang up the phone and sigh "What time is it anyway?" I check to see it's 6:50 "What time did Ethan say he was coming again?...7?" I get up and change my clothes and walk downstairs. My mom looks at me "Javier whose personality does Luna take after?" My dad looks at me "Hmmm. She's got my little curls..." My mom rolls her eyes "Personality not appearance!" My dad laughs "Well when she was small she was shy and quiet but for some reason she started to speak out more...And now she'll talk but....Hey Luna." I look at my dad "What?" My dad smiles "Are you an extrovert,introvert or ambivert?" I look at my dad "I'm an ambivert around acquaintances and an extrovert around people I feel comfortable around." My mom nudges my dad "When we were in highschool you were an extrovert Javier, and I was an introvert." My dad looks at my mom then me "Luna what is Ethan?" I look at my dad blankly "Why you asking me?" My dad looks at me "Que? Why am I asking you? Hija you sit next to the boy." I look at my dad "Anacio he's an Extrovert." I walk to the living room "Thanks...Hey did you call me old man again?!" I turn around and stick my tongue out "Yep." My dad runs after me and I run away the doorbell rings and we both stop. My mom opens the door "Hi Ethan!" I look at Ethan "I brought some chicken that I grilled." My mom opens up "You made this?" We sit at the table Ethan next to me. We put the food on our plates and my dad closes his eyes "Gracias a Dios por permitir que toda la familia estuviera junto con un viejo amigo también Ethan ..." My dad opens one eye "Por favor, que se unan amen." "Papi!" Ethan smiles "Gracias Javier te da hambre." I look at Ethan "You can speak spanish?" Ethan looks at me and smiles "Yeah my father is from spain so he taught me spanish." ...Mr.Rogers is from spain?I did not know that. I finish my plate "Mom the grilled chicken you made was good." My mom looks at me "Actually Ethan made the grilled Chicken." My jaw drops *He can cook? Is pretty smart,Is loved by all,speak spanish and arabic...He's sucking up to my parents!* My dad looks at me "Are you ok Luna?" I look at my dad "I'm done eating..I'll be in my room." My dad looks at Ethan "Luna show Ethan your room." I turn around "Eh???"
