Our Destiny

Eins

-Monday-

Wheezing laughter erupts from my mouth, the strands of red dyed hair bobble back and forth as I laugh, my mouth hurts from being curved for so long, but I continue to smile as I look to my friend her names Dominique, but I just call her Dom she sits with her arms hugging her stomach as she laughs. Why are we laughing? Honestly, I don't even remember; we forgot about the television as it plays commercials for the time being. "That was funny," Dom says horse slightly from laughter, I let out a giggle that brings pink to my cheeks "fuck that sounded like a schoolgirl" I hiccup another laugh before calming down. "How's your boyfriend? You haven't talked about him in a while." I asked, her acorn brown eyes widen to the size of a small spoon. "What? Was I not supposed to ask?" raising my eyebrow in a questioning manner. "Nah" she manages to get out before continuing "I'm just shocked; you normally don't ask." I shrug my shoulders at this."We've been alright, still getting used to him being younger than me." letting out a hum I lean back into the shoulder of the couch clutching a pillow to my chest. "This is why I date older dudes, get on my level Dom" I chirp with a crescent smile giving her a finger gun in the process she scoffs "what are you twelve?" she mocks "Nah. 20" I reply before she can insult me my phone goes off lighting up, I look to it "can you hand me my phone?" I ask Dom she hands me my phone the screen is already dark, so I press the power button to reveal the notification.

My storm cloud eyes widen with excitement as the corner of my lips twitch, out of instinct I pull my left hand to hide to ever growing smile that is spreading on my face like cancer. "Who is it?" Doms voice questions in the background. I glance at her before looking down to my phone again I begin to type 'Not much, hangin' with Dom. What you doin'?' I hit send and turn off my phone again placing it face down looking up to Dom, she's braiding her coal black hair in a side braid emphasizing her chestnut roots that have already grown two inches, her bangs that were clipped away before rest on her forehead, there cut uneven and messy but in a fashionable way.
"It's my friend Adrian; he's from California." I finally responded. Her curious gaze turns to one of concern. "Have you meet him before?" she asks me. My phone goes off again, before looking at the text a sense of bashfulness washes over me to her question, blood flushes to my milk-white cheeks making it appear I had strawberry milk for blood, I begin to pick at the dry skin of my slightly chapped lips making them the color of a hibiscus flower. "No, but I know he's older than me" I reply softly avoiding eye contact I check the text Adrian sent it says 'That's cool, I'm not doing much either just homework. Oh, are you going to the Black Veil Brides concert? I saw there was a tour date close by your city.' I pouted at the reminder of my misfortune 'I was, but I was supposed to leave like 5 hours ago, but homework took longer than expected. Sad day :(' I respond
"Mo! Monique!" Dominique shouts bringing me back from my daze I look at her and yawn making my eyes water up; I feel teardrop run down left cheek from how watery they got "Yeah?" I respond "You gotta be careful with people online man" she advises I nod and respond "I am careful.No worries," I say as I fight another yawn, my phone vibrates this time since I left the app open I look down to see Adrian's response
' Aw man, that's too bad. Want to talk? Maybe I'll ease your sad day besides I started to miss your cute voice, think you can call me, or I call you?' I gasp softly as my heart begins to pound rapidly sending tingles down my spine and childlike hands. Another ding goes off it's my mom this time 'Mija come home, it's getting, and I don't want you driving so late with that tail light messed up' after reading the text I stand up and stretch before bending over to get my shoes.
As I begin to slide on my kid-size shoe on my graphic socks, I proclaim "Hey dude, I gotta go." I pause concentrating on getting my other shoe on "My mom texted me...yo, where did I leave my backpack again?" I trailed off look around for my backpack "It's in the kitchen, I'll go get it" Dom said as she left to retrieve my bag I slipped on my Georgie yellow hoodie and moved my iPhone to the hoodie pocket. Letting out a sigh I mumble "Oh yeah." as I pull my phone again quickly sending a text to my mother that I'll be home soon. As soon as I notice Dominique coming back holding on my backpack, looking towards her, I thank her as I take my backpack from her hands and begin to put it on clutching my phone tightly. "You ready to go?" she questions me "Yup!" I say popping the P. I give her a quick side hug before I open the door "See ya later cracker!" I chirp before walking out the door.

Once I'm outside and walking towards my truck the sound of cars passing along with the occasional motorcycle fills my ears. I unlock my truck and climb in taking in the sound of the welcoming ding my vehicle always gives. With a slam of the truck door, the artificial lights go away, I buckle my seatbelt and start the truck, I look out the windshield and notice the blanket of stars that filled the dark sky, but while in the city the beauty of the stars can't be appreciated with all the city lights. I live out of the town but not so far out that all you can see is a couple of farms and dirt, Nah I lived in a cozy area where you can appreciate the beauty of the night sky. I raise my phone to my face unlocking it, and with a few clicks my phone was ringing trying to get ahold of Adrian, while it rings I start my truck and begin to back out of Dom's front yard and onto the driveway when I hear a husky voice call out "Hello Monique?" "Hey, Adrian! You wanted me to call?" as soon as I listened to his voice again, I think man, I swear his voice sounds similar to someone.
