I were up stairs in my room in unpacking and heard a knock on the door. I heard it over the noise of my 3 little brothers playing football in the house. "I got it!" I yell over the three.
I open the door to see a smiling Sal.
"Hey Sal. What's up?" I ask smiling.
"Hey Angie. I was wondering if you wanna come with me to finally meet the guys?" Sal asked.
"Yeah sure let me ask.
Maaaa?" I yelled once again over my brothers.
"Sí? I'm in the kitchen." My mother said with her rich hispanic the accent.
"Can I go with Sal to his friends house?" I asked nodding towards Sal standing next to me.
"Fine, but be home by 10 the latest. Ok?"
"Yes mama. Gracias." I said kissing her cheek.
Right before me and Sal stepped out the door, Marco, Luis, and Christian all yell 'ohhhh' in unison.
Instead of reaching for my sweater, I shoot them a look. And completely forgot my sweater. It was that time of year when the temperature was kinda bobbling back and forth between warm and cold. So I always brought a sweater with me. Right when me and Sal were crossing the street to his house I realized I forgot my sweater.
"Shoot!" I say all of a sudden.
"What? "
"I forgot my sweater." I say rapping my arms around my self.
"Oh. Here take mine." Sal insisted.
"No. I'll be fine"
"We're standing right in front of my house I could just run in and grab one. Come on." I finally gave in and we both headed inside.
I was sitting on the edge of Sal's bed and thinking while he was digging through his closet.
"Here" he said handing me a gray sweater. It took a moment for me to snap back and take the sweater and put it on.
"What's wrong?" he asks with a curious look on his face.
"Just thinkin.... Sal what if they don't like me?" I look at him with a worried look.
"Trust me. They're gonna love you. Now let's go."
===============
Me and Sal finally walk up to a nice welcoming house. Sal walks in without even knocking. I hesitate but I end up following him down some stairs and into a basement.
" Mom were busy" says the cute boy with a hat says.
"Relax it's just me and Angie." says Sal.
All three of the boys turn around and look at me.
"Heyyyy" They all yell cheerfully. I instantly feel my cheeks turn pink.
And since that day me and the guys have been best friends.
