And I saw him... It was him, August Williams. He is my neighbor
After I saw him I instantly ran to the other side of my room. My luck has been so trashy lately. I guess I better confront him now since I am going to see him tomorrow and I don't want this to keep being like this.
I took a deep breath and build myself with the courage to go in my window, but when I did... He wasn't there anymore. "August Williams... you're killing me"
I didn't close my window hoping he'll come back but he didn't, and I wasn't going to wait for him all my life, I am going to see him at school tomorrow anyway. I heard the doorbell, I decided to ignore it. I never open the door for some reason, I guess all these years of horror movies have built me up to be the person I am today.
I heard my mom opening the door this was followed by laughter, maybe my mom invited one of her friends. I put my headphones on and I laid down in bed just looking at my ceiling and thinking about everything that happened today, everyone told me high school was crazy, but I thought they were exaggerating.
I hear my mom calling me, she definitely wants me to say hi. I look at myself in the mirror and I look decent, I don't have to impress anyone, so everything is fine. I walk downstairs, and I see August sitting on my couch with his mom... This is the moment where I regret not brushing my hair or doing something else. I go say hi to his mom while he is staring at my every move like a hungry animal, it is very creepy in my opinion but for some reason, I'm enjoying it. When I greed him, I felt the electricity in my whole body... I really don't know what's happening maybe I'm sick.
Tonight, I learned that my mom and Mrs. Williams are childhood friends, it's weird because I have never seen her before, but she seems really nice. My mom and Mrs. Williams start to talk, and I guess this is the perfect moment to finally talk in August. I walk closer to him and I sit right next to him. "Hey," I said very quietly, almost whispering.
"Look I am sorry, I shouldn't have done that. You are attractive I am not going to lie but I don't want a relationship right now and I don't want to be involved in any situation or drama. This is the reason why I transferred to another school, I don't want to create my own portable hell again." After August said this with such a confident look I didn't have anything else to say, I didn't want a relationship either, but I can't say I wasn't enjoying this... A worried expression started to appear on his face because I wasn't talking when I noticed this I instantly said "Friends?" followed by a big smile. After he saw this his worried expression changed to a happy and relief one. He shakes my hand and we both smile but then he pushes me... "Why would you do that?!!" I said laughing... "Never do that to me again, I got so scared I thought you hated me," He said scratching the back of his head.
After that, we talked about school for a little and then our crazy stories... The time was passing, and I don't even feel it, I love talking to him.
Nevaeh: I can't believe you did that! Why would you throw glue at your friend's hair?
August: He was bothering me and then he didn't want to give me gum! I think that justifies everything.
Nevaeh: You know what... you're right. I would have done the same thing, the fact that he didn't share his gum with you justifies everything.
August: really?
Neveah: No... you're crazy!
After all the laughter and funny stories, he had to go...
August: Am I going to see you later DeLuca?
Neveah: Tomorrow at school I believe, that's if I don't decide to be absent because of an important secret mission, you know?
August: Lameee... I will see you tomorrow DeLuca, I sleep well.
And just like that, the most awkward day of my life turned out to be the best. I can't stop thinking about August, he is so crazy and funny. Everything was fine until I started to think about high school and nervousness started to fill my body, let's see what happens tomorrow.
