"Why are we here exactly?" Rona and her friends were sitting on the empty bleachers, watching the lacrosse team practice. She didn't mind watching sweaty shirtless guys running around, she was just curious to why she is spending the last day of school before spring break, by still being at school.
"Because I told Bat that I would wait for him, so after practice we could get milkshakes at Taki's" Maia explained. Her curly brown hair blowing in the wind. Brown hair that was much similar to Rona's. Brown hair that looked brown indoors but the minute you step out in the sun, it was exposed the light and dark highlights, a brown that was more than a brown.
"No, I get that" Rona said, "But why are we here?" She was referring to herself and Simon, though Simon was too busy looking at the cheerleaders to pay attention.
"Because you are my best friends and will do anything for me"
Rona gave her a look. A look which involved a slight tilt of the head and the narrowing of the eyes. A look that said yeah okay sure.
"And I promised to buy you milkshakes" Maia added
"Yeah, that's sounds more like us"
At the end of the steps, a boy was climbing his way up the bleachers. A tall, brown-skinned, dream-like boy. His dark hair tumbled down to his forehead in curls that complimented the most startling hazel-green eyes. He was wearing shorts and a red muscle tee that exposed his tattoos. Tattoos that read like a scrolling script, wrapped around his arms. Tattoos that said something in Sanskrit. Sanskrit that Rona recognized. The tattoos stated "Om shanti shanti" over and over again. She has heard that phrase used by her mother in prayers, it meant peace.
"I hope you don't mind I invited Jordan" Simon leaned closer to Rona. "Did I forget to tell you that he is the band's new singer?"
"No, but you did forget to tell me he was super hot" Rona stared at him in awe until he was standing directly in front of her, greeting Simon.
"Hey I am Jordan. Nice to meet you" he introduced himself. Believe me, the pleasure is all mine, Rona thought. She wished she was as smooth in real life as she is in her head.
"I am—uh" she eyed his chain, that was tucked into his muscle tee, shining in the sun. "I am—uh"
"Rona. Her name is Rona" Maia jumped in.
"Yeah, what she said" Rona said and Jordan laughed. She didn't think it was funny, maybe a little embarrassing.
"And I am Maia" she offered her hand and he took it with a twinkle in his eyes. He sat next to Simon and they started discussing potential band names. Simon had an affinity for rats in the band title. Snake Rats, Unintentional Rats, Rat Mouselin, and Rona's favorite, The Vampire Rats.
"Where were you at lunch?" Maia asked as she twirled a piece of her hair around her finger.
"I dropped my lunch so Jonathan gave me half of his sandwich" Rona said refusing to look at Maia's face. Because she knows when she will look at her, Maia's face would be grinning just waiting to tease Rona about how cute Jonathan and Rona would look together, or about how he was practically in love with her since he gave her half of his sandwich.
"That is so sweet" Maia giggled
"Not really, I am pretty sure he had an alternative motive" Rona explained
"That is just so cute! He is just so cute!"
"I agree" Simon added
