I fell asleep gazing at the stars at 3am on my balcony it was truly so amazing I have a really great feeling about this place,honestly. It was 8am on a fine Saturday morning very beautiful sunrise a perfect setting I couldn't look away it was breath taking ,my mother was making her famous banana pancakes (my favorite ) she seemed like a new person for once she was singing and dancing she hadn't done that in a long time and I didn't want to ruin this cute moment by asking her so I patiently waited for her to tell the news on why she's so happy. "Jade you would not believe it but I got it I got the job!" And I was so happy to hear that but also kind of sad because she's going to be working a lot we won't spend as much time together. "That's great mom! I knew you could do it!" I replied to her while stuffing my face with these bomb ass pancakes. "You know what that means,the house is going to be a little quiet while I'm out,please promise me you won't get it dirty." She made the scolding mom gesture as she said that all I could do was laugh a lot , "Mom I'll probably be busy doing drugs or something anyways" I laughed and my mom did too knowing I was joking she replied , "hey save me some okay" I legit laughed sooooo hard my smoothie came out my nose. Seeing my mom happy again was so amazing enjoyed our little moment. She was getting ready she had everything her scrubs and her hair pinned up she looked beautiful. Before she left she gave me fifty bucks she told me to "explore". She was headed out all singing in a goofy accent her tasks "Imma go save lives todayyyyyyy,Imma go save lives todayyy" I laughed and went back inside. It was quiet a little tooo quiet so I played some loud music and danced stupidly I was having a great time,well until I realized the neighbors seen me in the window and I felt like a complete idiot. I was so embarrassed I couldn't tell if it was a tomato or myself in a mirror. I didn't make out who seen because all I seen was a shadow and then laughter I ducked before I seen a face. It was about half an hour when I felt safe enough to come out and "play it cool" I was on my Mac book trying to finish ordering room decor,when I seen a friendly face across the bay window I think it was the neighbors son but he gave a friendly smile. I waved at him and was wondering f this was the "kid" around my age my mom was talking about. He had these really dark eyes and this curly wavy hair it was shorter on the sides of course it was the "style" of all teenage boys apparently, he had a very nice smile and he looked sunburned from his cheeks. He made a gesture to come outside and I didn't know if I should after being seen dancing like a maniac but I did anyways. I came out and my hair was in a bun I had a huge t-shirt and some shorts I was comfortable but I didn't realize how lazy I looked until he walked up he had a Gray sweater and jeans and in sandals I was distracted becuase I didn't put effort in my look before meeting a new friend. "Hey,you must be Jade...your um mom was talking to my mom about you and I had to see for myself,I,I noticed you earlier but I didn't want to disturb you ,you were dancing and it was funny but adorable" I froze when he said that and all I replied was , " and...you must be the kid around my age my mom was talking about,I could have sworn you were a girl from the way she spoke ha," he was staring at me like if I had something on my face maybe it was pancake oh god what if I have one chance at making a friend and blew it by staining my face with banacakes (banana pancakes), I asked " is something wrong..like on m-" he cut me off ,"uh no it's just your eyes they are really pretty " he continued "sorry if that sounded weird,I um I'm Caleb." He made a really cheesy smile when he said that I couldn't help but laugh,he insisted on walking with me to show me around. I liked the idea I mean I really wanted to explore the mysterious city anyway.He walked and talked about our pasts and life and it was pretty cool for a while but a little deeper into the conversation he was explaining to me about how his dad isn't with him and how his reputation rubbed off on him and he gets teased for it me I told him my dad was t around either and right away I felt a connection with Caleb . It's been hours out he finally showed me his favorite spot in the city it was near a lake it was an abandoned tree house he says there was children there but they passed away and left the luck on it ,he says that's where he goes when he need air or time alone. I thought it was cute I didn't think guys needed air they just GO for anything you know? Anyways he was telling me how the school is awesome and there's a lot of cool people and the school really needed a person like me,I'm not sure what he meant by that but in a way I got excited for school already I start Monday at Poiseville High. He said he'd be happy to walk with me to the school I showed him my schedule so we had most classes together except for PE and Algebra. At this point we were sitting in the tree house and turns out he's a grade higher than which okay with me because maybe he'd help me get through my freshmen experience. We were talking for hours about different stuff and it was an awkward silence for a while and I asked him how many people he takes here,he told me I'm the only,person because He noticed "difference" in me I didn't know if that was a compliment or not. The sun was setting it was absolutely amazing. The moment felt unreal like a movie kind of except it was interrupted by my mom she was calling to make sure I was okay,He somehow knew so he started walking me home. It was dark I was having a slight anxiety attack because I never walked this late in my life,he seemed to notice and asked me if I was okay and I told him about me being a good noodle and never walking in the dark. He looked at me and told me as long as he's around there's nothing to be afraid of. Those words were stuck in my head ever since he spoke them.We finally arrived and he told my mom it was a honor to spend the day with "his new friend" and ofcourse my mother was happy to hear about it she invited him for dinner to hear all of the tea. "So...." she looked at us with a huge grin ,made me sort of uncomfortable honestly, but my bud Caleb kept the whole conversation good until the last part he slowed down and he was talking about the "beautiful sunset" but he kept going in his voice was getting softer and was looking at me while talking about how beautiful it was,this sound weird but I could have sworn he was speaking about me... anywho the night ended Caleb left and my mom was setting her new bed up in her room. Saturday went wayyy better than expected and somehow I feel like Caleb is somehow my best friend I waited for a long time.
