i sat at my lunch table alone as i always do. it had been a week since i last seen omar, it's like he had disappeared. maybe i'm over reacting, he's probably avoiding me. but then again i haven't seen him in class.
being deep in thought, i hadn't realized that someone had sat next to me.
"hi, celeste?" they asked, i snapped out of my trance and looked over to see a blue eyed girl with long black hair sitting right next to me. she was wearing black ripped jeans with an oversized def leppard shirt. she had boots just like i had and can i just say, she was totally rocking this look.
"i'm sorry what?" i asked, wondering if she had said anything before.
"are you celeste?" she asked tilting her head.
"yes, why?" i asked back, also tilting my head.
"oh well, she jumped up and smiled. "i was wondering if you would like to, oh i don't know... be my friend?" her voice cracked as if she was nervous, she started fiddling with her hands waiting for a response.
did she really just ask me to be her friend?
"haha um sure," i responded as her face lit up. "but why do you want to be my friend?" as i asked this she smiled at me as if i was asking a dumb question.
"you seem cool."
"oh cool." i smirked. we started talking and i began to realize we were very much alike. she loved all the bands i did, all the movies too.
after about a hour of talking i realized i never got her name.
"i know i should have asked this sooner but, what's your name?" i nervously chuckled.
"oh right," she hit her head with her hand as if she was stupid and continued. "i'm daisy!" she laughed.
"wow you have such a pretty name!" i smiled.
"well so do you, i've never met anyone named celeste!"
"i've never met anyone named daisy." we started talking about other things once more until i got a text. i looked down at my phone and realized it was from omar.
from omar:
hey! call me when you get the chance?
i told daisy i had to make a quick call and hurried to the bathroom. i sat on the vanity and called omar. it only rang twice until he picked up.
"celeste! hey how are you?" he asked enthusiastically.
"i'm fine but what about you? where are you? are you even okay?" i was really worried about him, why wouldn't he have called me?
"celeste! calm down, i'm fine. i've been in Alaska."
"Alaska? what the hell? why didn't you tell me you were leaving?" i fiddled with the nobs of the sink as he began talking again.
"well it was a surprise, my uncle lives out there so my parents made plans to go see him. my parents also took our phones before we left so i couldn't text you."
"where are you now?"
"at home. why?"
"i'm coming over to see you."
"wha-" before he could finish i hung up, hoping off the vanity, grabbing my bag.
i checked the cafeteria for daisy but i couldn't find her anywhere, so i just left.
