Behind The Reason

2. Laugh

"Hello Miss Kathrina Lee Johnson, yes I'm fine thanks for asking me."

"Seriously? Did you see yourself?"

"What now?"

"By the way never -for my sake- ever call me like that again! Looks like hearing my mother when I'm going to have a moral lesson about human life. Don't you have anything more modern than that? " showing off my clothes.

"That, imitating her gesture of disapproval, my dear Kathy, it's me. I'm not one of those students who care about their appearances for the first day of school, anyway I go there to study not to participate in a high-end fashion show. "

"At least lose your ponytail and put on a lipstick or a gloss I don't know. I have one in my briefcase just for today. Come on, please tomorrow you can do whatever you want with yourself I don't care "

" No ! " then "Rhooo don't be so happy!"

I had looked at her with a facial expression that I could not describe and took her lipstick

"It's a dark purple, come to believe it's a black one! Did you see how my face will looks like? Already I'm dark enough and you think that with my complexion it will be okay? I would be called a witch! "

"You know I like dark stuff what you expected it to be huh?! A glamorous red or a sweet rose or whatever they say you name it"

"Pfff you're so annoying I swear!"

"Always baby that's why you love me. Well... go ahead or we'll be late Alejandro wouldn't take long for coming and I don't want him to do his talking again with what girl's five minutes is like two centuries old. "

"Okay, care my bag"

"There is the chair for that"

"Don't start yet"

Just two steps forward that I hear the horn sound outside. At the same time I hear my mother coming down the stairs.

"Speaking of the wolf, what did I told you? Hurry up... "

"Yeah I'll be right back"

"Where are you going again?" Lucy said

"Ask Kathy," I said, pressing my steps

"Nothing, so Madam ..."

"What did I told you with that? "

"Sorry Lucy," I said, turning around at the same time to look out for Alejandro, who wasn't stopping making noises with his car in this morning, did he ever check what time is it? "Okay, I'm going to go outside, otherwise he's not going to stop it, "I said, kissing her.

"Have a good day !"

"Thanks, to you too Ma'a ... Lucy, Lucy" when am I going to get used to that, I murmured as I walked to the door.

I came out of the bathroom and my mother was already cleaning,

"She's already out" she said

"Well, I'm out too. Have a good day, I love you"

"Yes thank you see you tonight, but Ali! Come to the shop before heading home. "

"Yes, sure."

I rushed to join my friends, but barely two meters from the car I hear Alejandro bursting of laugh. I had a little idea that it was still because of what I wear. I climbed to the passenger side and he did not stop yet.

"You done?"

"Yes yes I'm good." He had turned back to Kathy and here we go again. What am I going to do with these two they are unbearable but endearing, real kids.

"Okay so it's for today or next year? I don't know why you're making fun of me. I like vintage and what's wrong with that. "

"Nothing, but with your glasses and jeans, you look like my grandmother"

"Huh-huh and what else? Get out"

"It's my car, you get out, anyway It's not me who's going to walk myself to school, huh."

"Start the engine you idiot!"

After a few minutes of ride I saw this huge building that would serve as a place of torture for my next months, we parked and barely out of the car I felt glances in our direction.

"It's going to be a long year," I said

"Yeah that's for sure" they said at the same time

"Hopefully we'll be in the same class"

"Hoping yes." I said crossing my fingers

A mass of students was already in front of the entrance for the first gathering. As we were a little late we were all behind.
The director had already started in his speech with the rules and everything and as always being me Alison Pierce Nguyen I didn't listen to any of that. I don't know but I have a weird feeling that we are not going to be in the same class all three, there is a fine chance that it happens, but I don't know.

After a long boring thirty minutes, he began to call one by one the students according to their class then our names, me and Alejandro we are in the same class but Kathy is in another, you should see her face when she had heard her name before ours, I was dead laughing

"Good luck to you! Don't be too grumpy with your neighbor," said Alejandro.

Kathy threw her the glance of death that she masters so well.

"Courage sweetie! It's life."

"Seriously? Am I dreaming? What is this fragile sentence? Get lost! "

"We love you too. Kisses!"
She had turned around with an expression of disgust, pretending to throw up
