sweetest life | ruby martinez

01.

the morning came by quick, i jump out of bed and get dressed. i look in the mirror at my lions mane i call hair. i decide to straighten it. when i'm done i go downstairs and grab an apple and head out the door.

once i'm inside the school shockingly no one stares at me, which lifts a huge weight of my shoulders. i'm so deep in thought when someone rams into me. "aye mane wtf is your problem?" i yell. i look up and i'm face to face with a hispanic boy with chubby cheeks.

he looks at me as if he's in a trance. "yo, hello!" "oh my bad hermosa, i'm never watching where my feet take me." he smiles. "obviously." i say smiling back. "ruben." he extends his arm. "rachel." i say, shaking his hand. "we're you headed?" he asks, walking beside me.

"that's the thing, i actually don't know." i laugh."well you're in luck because i'm the perfect man to show you to you whereabouts." he steps in front of me flaunting.

          "well then i must be very lucky." i smile. "damn right, niña." he smiles, as i hand him my schedule. "holy shit! we literally have every class together." he smiles handing it back to me.

          "well better lead the way chico i don't wanna be late on my first day of school." i say. "if you stick with me you'll never be late for anything, that's also because i'm a very punctual person but that's not the point now vamonos." he yells grabbing my hand leading me towards our first class.
