“Well I would call today a success,” Camila says her curls bouncing up and down as she walked back to her car.

“Yeah…” I say smiling “I would have to agree,”

“Normani,” Lauren says slowly “Don’t you think that was a little fast?” I turned and looked at Lauren was looking at her shoes and I nudged her shoulder so she would look up at me.

“It was incredibly fast, I didn’t see it coming at all.” I tell her before hopping into the backseat of the Range Rover. “Like, we haven’t known each other for long and now he’s my boyfriend. Like, it’s strange, but I’m not really against it.”

“Of course not, Zayn is such a cutie.” Camila tells me and I agree easily

“It’s just…” Lauren sighs a little bit “do you even know his birthday?” Lauren asks

“January 12th”

“Oh damn,” Camila says with another laugh.

“I mean, we haven’t know each other for long but when we spend time together it’s never for a short amount of time, it’s like we are together we can talk about everything we want or need too. He’s smart, he has plans for his future and he likes me. I don’t know, this is pretty much new territory for me.”

“You haven’t dated before?” Camila asks

I shake my head “No, it’s not that. It’s just those feelings don’t compare to what I feel for Zayn, like I dated this one guy for a while but I didn’t really want too, when we broke up I was relieved.”

Camila nods as she begins to drive “Where too girls?”

“How about the park?”  Lauren says quickly “I think we could all use the fresh air,”

“Oh for sure,” Camila says with a laugh “Then I can work on my tan.” She giggles  

“Shut up Camz,” Lauren snorts. “Just drive.”

While Camila drives we talked about class and what we should do with our weekend and if Camila should throw another party soon, as we spoke Zayn and I texted before his shift at Starbucks and when he had to go he texted See you someday which was actually what we had said to each other in one of our first conversations and I melted all over again and was so glad I could call this man my boyfriend.

Once the car stopped I was actually surprised to see we were at the Elementary school on the other side of town. It was completely deserted since it was the summer.

“What are we doing here guys?” I asked.

“Oh well, when we say park we actually mean, Savage Elementary because let’s face it, I love getting on the slide.” Camila laughs and stops the car, unbuckling her seat belt and getting out of the car. Lauren and I do the same and she smiles.

“I haven’t been here since I was in this school,” I said looking around in wonder, back in the elementary school all I cared about was getting good grades. My mom always told me that good grades would make your future. Then I could go to college get my degree and then become a CEO of a big company. Back then I had no idea what all of that meant. And I didn’t really care that much either; I just wanted to go out for recess.

My mom always told me that I was bound for great things and once she began to realize I was more interested in the performing arts I could tell her plans for me changed, now as a trained gymnast, dancer and singer she expects different things from me.

 “Yeah? Well I guess it’s time to go back to your childhood,” Lauren laughs then looks from Camila then back to me. “Race you to the swing set!” She yells before taking off and I stare at her back in disbelief.

“HEY!” Camila yells “No fair!” She cries before taking off after her and I almost applauded the way Camila ran in her heels.

“Wait for me!” I shouted before going after my friends.  

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I MAY BE AN ADULT BUT I STILL WENT TRICK OR TREATING LIKE A BO$$
