annalyse,
"hey" someone sat next to me.

I think his name was nate or something like that

"oh hey" I said

"how was your first day?" he asked

"alright" I shrugged

"I didn't know jack had a sister" he said

"well I didn't know I had a brother until last year when I came to see my dad" I said

"how does that work?" he asked

"my parents aren't together, were always friends, never actually together. so when I was born my dad moved to cuba but still stayed in contact with me and yeah" I said explaining.

he nodded

"must be hard" he said

"sometimes" I shrugged

"my parents are divorced" he said

"i'm sorry" I said

"its cool" he shrugged it off

"can I have your number, so we can like talk or something?" he asked

"I don't have a phone actually" I said.

he looked surprised

"you don't want my number? got it" he said and looked away as his cheeks were turning colors

ohhh noooo

"oh no, I would love to have your number, I seriously don't have a phone" I said

"oh seriously? what kid doesn't have a phone?" he asked

"me apparently" I chuckled

"annalyse! I got you something" Cameron rolled down the window to his car as he pulled into the driveway

extraaa

"he already is buying you things" nate chuckled

"I guess so" I said

I stood up and so did nate

Cameron walked over to me with a white box that said iPhone 7 plus

wow okay, did he really just go out and buy me a freaking iPhone

he is insane

"Cameron" I said looking at it

"look at that" nate said

"I got you a phone" Cameron smiled

I smiled too

"you didn't have to do that" I said as he handed it to me

"yeah but I wanted to, you're gonna meet more people and I want you to be able to talk to them in private on you own you know. connect with the world. just a gift from me, a welcome to America gift" he said

"thank you" I said

"so you wanna hang out?" nate asked me

"i'll tell dad, go make friends" Cameron smiled

"okay" I said

and I followed nate down the street.

we were at some place, a park maybe

we walked over to the swings and sat there next to each other

"let me see" he said meaning the phone

I took it out the box, it was so pretty honestly

he pressed a button and it turned on with a white screen and said, "hello" in black letters
