So I guess you are wondering who I am. Well my name is Tiara Vargas, I'm 17 and I'm a senior in high school. We just moved to Albuqurque, New Mexico. I hate it , I miss all my friends and my old life in Harlem but there's no going back now. "T, help me unpack these last boxes" my mother shouts to me. We moved in a neighborhood about 2 miles away from the local high school. When I'm done with the boxes I go upstairs to change. I put on some short shorts, a supreme crop top and my Taro Bravos (Jordans). I grab my phone and head out the door with my penny board. I walk outside and I see a girl with a penny board in her hand so I walk over to her. This girl looks about my age she has dark brown hair with bleach blonde tips, tan skin, and has a dope dresscode. "Hey I'm Tiara, I live across the street and I'm new here from Harlem" I say uncertain. "Hey ! My name is Natalie but you can call me Nat, you are really pretty" she says. "Thanks and I go by T" I say. For a while we talk and she is really down to earth. Nat has a rebel attitude and I like it because I'm the same way. "Want to have dinner at my house, my mom is cooking spaghetti" I ask. "Sure let me change and I will be over" "okay bye". I walk back to my house and I smell the savory aromas as I step in the door. "Hey mom I met this really nice girl today and she's coming over for dinner" I say to my mom. "Okay Hun, go change". I wish I was back home, I want to visit my old friends this summer. I change into some jeans, a white shirt, and my cardigan. I hear a knock at the door I open it up to see Nat looking stunning she's wearing a floral pencil skirt and a black shirt tucked in under her skirt. "Hey Nat come in" I say. We sit at the table and Nat sits next to me. "You must be Natalie, you are such a lovely young lady" my dad says as he enters the room. As we eat my mom won't shut up about my childhood I'm sure Nat is bored to death by now. When we finish Nat and I go upstairs to my room. "That food was amazing T" "Thanks Nat I'm glad you enjoyed it. I sit over on my bed and she sits next to me. "I think you are really cool T" "Aha gracias" . "No seriously we should hang out more often" Nat says at she scoots closer to me. "So what is the school like?" I ask. "It's really cool, the people are a little annoying but other than that everything is cool" . "So what is your family like?" I ask. "Well I am an only child, I live with both of my parents, but my mom went away for a while." she says as she looks down at her feet. "Where's your mom?" I ask curiously. "Uhm she is on a business trip in Africa." she says. "I think it's time for me to go T, uhh... it was fun.. tell your mom I said thanks for the food." "I will walk you home, it's dark." I say. "No! Oh I mean no thanks, I'm fine." Nat gets up and walks out. Hmm that was weird. I wonder why she left so abruptly. I slide off my clothes and crawl up in my covers and slowly drift off to sleep.
