Michelle waked up early and followed straight to bath, followed by a cup of coffee. She hearded a knock on the door, and Alex’s voice calling her.
She opened the door, and he smiled. “Are you ready?” “Huh, I think so.” She answered,checking herself at the mirror. “Let’s go then. The boys always wanted to meet one of the girls.” While they were going down the stairs, she asked “Why, you guys were stalkin us?” Alex blushed into a light pink “Well, no, but imagine: Four girls living next door. I saw two of them, a blond one and an asian one, and they were cute. We’re man, it messes with us.” “Mens. Puff.” She said, rolling her eyes.
They walked until the park, and Michelle could see two guys talking. Alex got close to them and greeted then, while she stared at the blue hair of one of the boys.
“Tom, Liam, this is Michelle.” Alex said. “Your hair… IT’S GORGEOUS!” She said, ponting to Tom’s electric-blue hair. He laught and said “I’ve heard ‘awkward’ and ‘unusual’, but never ‘gorgeous’.” “Are you kidding me? If I could, I’d dye my hair lima-green, but to do it, I’d have to bleach it, and it would be looking like hay. Not happening.” Saying that, she turned to Liam and looked at him with a curious face.“I… I’ve seen you before… But were… Oh, I remembered! You, on Youtube! My friend showed me, but I don’t really remember, I didn’t payed attention.” “Now I’m personally offended.” He said with a pout. “Oh, don’t be. She decided to show me Just on the moment when I got my admission letter on Royal Music Academy. I was bouncing and shouting and she was just saying ‘Yay. You’re going to study violin, thing that you’re alredy doing. Now shut up and pay attention to the video.’” “Ah, so she’s the violinist?” Tom asked to Alex, that confirmed with a head movement. “So, tell me about your friends.” Tom asked, with a cute puppy face. Michelle answered, laughting. “Ah, Prudence, Lucy and Sadie are great. The ones that you saw, Alex, are Lucy and Prudence,” “Why are you all named after Beatles’ songs?” “I don’t know. Probably because the writer is a Beatlemaniac. Probably. Our parents are fans, so…” “Your flat must be all decorated with Beatles’ things.” Alex said with a funny face. “Almost. The living room is, Prudence ia a great artist, she painted a yellow submarine on the wall, and each one of us has a Beatle draw on her wall. George’s mine!” Michelle answered, with starry eyes. “Ok, so… You studies music, and Prudence probably studies art, What about the other ones?” Liam asked. “Sadie studies cenic arts, and Lucy, gastronomy. The savior.”
The conversation continued like this for a few minutes, with Michelle talking about her life on Brasil – and the boys ended up invited to visit her. She promised she’d do the best cheese bread (A/N: I imagine that Michelle came from a certain place in Brasil that is known by having what we call the real cheese bread. It’s SO good!) for them.
Suddenly, awake by the sound of Cobra Starship coming from her pocket, Michelle realizes that at least one of the girls should be at home. And she didn’t left any note saying that she was out. She looked at the phone, seeing Lucy’s name. “Err, sorry guys”, she said, “I need to get this one.”
“Oi?” “MICHELLE LOBO, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?” “I’m on that park, next home.” “WITH WHO? WHY? ARE YOU MAD? GOING OUT WITHOUT LETTING EVEN A SINGLE NOTE?” “Oh, sorry mom. Is that I’ve met the guy from the apartment next to ours, and he’s nice, and I’m just hanging out with he and his friends.” “WHAT? AND IF THEY’RE A GANG OF RAPISTS AND are they cute?” Michelle laughed “They’re not rapists and yeah, they’re cute.” “Tell me each one you found cutter, so we won’t have discussions later.” “Lucy, you’re terrible!” “What, they’re cute, aren’t they? Or you’re waiting for Caio or for that boy from yesterday?” Michelle took a deep breath, and Lucy realized that something was not right. “What happened, my dear?” “When I get home, I’ll tell you everything.” “Ok. Bring your friends. Prudence just got home, today I’m cooking.”
Michelle’s stomach shaked violently. Lucy’s food. God, it was so good!
“You’re cooking?” “Yeah, I’m done with suffering with Sadie in the kitchen.” “Give me five minutes and I’m home.”
She came back to the boys, and for a moment she got lost on the conversation. British accent is so sexy. Liam laughed, and Alex asked her if everything was alright. “Ah, yeah, sure. Just Lucy freaking out because I wasn’t home. So, she told me to invite you to lunch.” They looked at each other. “Why not?” Tom asked, and the other agreed.
The way to the flat was quick, with Michelle two steps forward talking enthusiastically. Befor Michelle could open the door, Liam asked “Alex, don’t you want to call Charlie?” “Oh, he’s acting awkward since yesterday. I was thinking about you guys to go with me and talk to him later.” Michelle bursted throught the door, shouting:
“LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS AND DEAR PRUDENCE, I’M HOME!” “Michelle, ma belle, sit with them in the living room.The lunch is almost ready.” “What are we having today?” “Lasagna.” She answered, coming from the kitchen and screaming out loud. Michelle looked scared to her. “Oh, my God, Lucy! Are you ok?” “A-ALEX DAY IS IN MY FLAT. WITH ED BLANN, LIAN DRYDEN AND TOM MILSON. WICH YEAR IS TODAY?”*
*So, it’s an expression that we have in Brazil. You use it when you’re really surprized of chocked with something. It’s weird, I know, thank you.
