Better Together (COMPLETE)

Friends

You know when you have that feeling that something is wrong ,but you can't pinpoint what it is?

Yeah? Well, thats me right now.But that's probably because I have to go to school and I always get this feeling every morning. Nothing new really.

My alarm is just blaring and it is so annoying. Can't time just move a little slower especially in the morning just like for five minutes or ten?

But the universe never gives me what I want, and so I hurriedly walk to the bathroom and take a quick shower all the while thinking if am late again my English teacher, Miss Smith will never forgive me.
Which is a bad thing because I need her to like me.Shes great friends with my mom and that means she tells her everything and so I need to be in her good graces.

Speaking of mom I go downstairs to find her having her coffee looking as good as ever in her uniform. My mom is a nurse and she does a great job at it, though it means am home alone most of the time.

"Hey honey "my mum says excitedly. Too enthusiastic for someone who just woke up, if you ask me. But that's my mom always happy ,reason why her patients adore her.

"How is school so far? Made any new friends? Is the food good? Miss Smith is a great teacher right? "

She asks in one go. This is a new school for me,, well not so new since I have been going there for two weeks but yeah still new.

Am horrible at socialising and my mom knows this hence the questions.

"Am fine mom don't worry about me. I will manage, I always do."
My mom looked a bit sad and I had to change the topic.

"So, any new interesting hospital stories?"I say smiling because I know this will get her talking and happy.

"Well "she began, "Without breaking any patient doctor Confidentiality a kid yesterday told me am more beautiful than her mom. An old lady said she wished she had a daughter like me. It was so nice to feel appreciated, I mean, they always do, but it feels different every time."

"Am so happy for you mom, you are amazing, of course they are gonna love you. "
'Thanks honey, you should get going. Don't want you being late. ''
''Yeah. Bye mom''
''Bye honey ''.

I take my school bag and car keys and walked to the garage. My next door neighbor Kyle was getting out of his at the time.Kyle and I are in the same class. Very handsome, but more than that he is very kind .

''Hey M''... He calls excitedly. Whats it with people being so happy in the morning. Like come on, the day just started. What's made you happy. I mean you are alive but thats besides the point.

''Hey Kyle, Good morning '' I greeted back.
"Want to be a good neighbor and give me a ride?"Kyle asks.

"Don't you have your own car? "I ask and I was sure he did because I had seen him with it several times.

"My cousin is staying with us and he thinks he can get whatever he wants and he just took it. "

"And you were too afraid to stand for yourself and tell him to fuck off"I ask smiling and Kyle has an amused look on his face.

"Oh, Wow, the new girl swears. Am impressed M, I knew you were not so quiet and innocent after all"

"Just because I swear Kyle doesn't mean am not innocent. And who says am quiet, am talking to you right now. "

"Just because am the one who started the conversation.I don't think you are a very social person, M. Now, are you giving me a ride or not because at this rate we will never make it to school. "

"Come on, and will you just stop being bossy am the one doing you a favour here, you know. "I say over my shoulder.

The drive to school is filled with Kyle asking questions about my previous school and me answering. Because as he said am not one to start a conversation.
You want me to talk, start talking and I follow your lead. It's just the way I am. I never really have much to say and am glad Kyle is so talkative because that way I don't have to sit in an uncomfortable silence.

About 20 minutes later and we reach school. We are actually early by five minutes and as I walk into the halls I know Kyle is not far behind. He stops by my locker as I shove my books in and I give him a questioning look

"It's what neighbors do "He shrugs "Let's go"
And am thinking how lucky I am right now to have Kyle because I don't have to be the new girl who asks for directions to everything.

We go to class and I sit besides Kyle as he starts telling me about everyone in our class.He has been doing this for one week now. Am listening to Kyle when a girl, purple hair ,green eyes and who is very pretty walks in and sits in front of us.

Kyle just forgets am there and starts looking at her. He does this for five minutes and I honestly start thinking that the ever talkative Kyle is actually shy around girls. Well, only this one am guessing.

"Just talk to her already. "Kyle looks at me and he goes

"What the hell are you talking about? "I turn my eyes pointedly to the girl and Kyle cheeks turn a little pink and it's actually cute.

"Aaah Kyle do you have a crush on the pretty purple lady? "
"Shut up. And no, I dont"He says a little too quickly.
"Then talk to her. "

Kyle shifts in his seat then leans forward.
"Hello Alexa "
He says all too sweetly. The girl turns around and she is even prettier when she smiles because she has two very deep dimples.

" Hello Kyle"She says
"Who is your friend? "Kyle goes to answer for me but then I think, am not really that shy,am more than capable of introducing myself.

"Marissa Davis"I say smiling,
"but you can call me M. That's what Kyle calls me and my mum too. "

I then realize that piece of information wasn't necessary. But whatever just trying to keep the conversation going.
"Well, I won't call you that because Kyle already does so how does MD sound to you? "
She asks and I can already see her becoming my friend.
"I love it "

Kyle gets to talking to her again but she just ignores him asking me how I find the new school and telling me she was visiting her grandmother in Mexico for those two weeks I have been in school.

Then the teacher enters and I almost laugh when Kyle turns to me and whispers in my ear.

"Stop taking all the attention from me, M, neighbors don't do that. There's a code of rules, and one of them is when am talking to Alexa and even when am not ,keep your conversation centered on me"

And as the teacher introduces the topic for today, am thinking, maybe this school and new town won't suck as much as I thought.

I have Kyle and I think I just became friends with Alexa, and they are the kind of people i can get used to.
