kairi
like always, my friends were walking ahead of me. speed jogging back up to them, i jump on mattia's back. we just got done with soccer practice for today. it's also the day before our county tournament. it's against lakeland regional highschool. but i'm not nervous, i have a good feeling that we're going to win.
"what the fuck!" mattia yells as he laughs at me. the rest of the guys laugh as they see my eyes widen. mattia started to fall forward after i jumped on his back with no warning.
i see alejandro and alvaro are video recording us, probably making tik toks at this funny moment. i hop off mattia, giving him a chance to catch his breath.
"hey y'all wanna catch dinner later?" mattia asks while unlocking his car.
"yess!" alejandro hollers. we all nod our heads in agreement with alejandro.
mattia just dropped me off at my house first. we decided we wanted to get waffle house, then tomorrow after our game we'd go to fascino, for our celebratory dinner.
"mom i'm back!" i yell as i walk into my house. mom's not in the living room, but i hear her yell back to me anyways.
walking upstairs, i hear singing coming from the bedroom down the hall.
without even checking to see what it was, i knew it was maiya, my little sister.
"shut up!" i yell as i peep in maiya's room. her expression was so hilarious. she was so startled! i saw her phone set up on her dresser. she was making dancing tik toks. dancing to overrated tik tok songs is one thing we definitely have in common.
walking back to my bedroom, dropping my soccer bags off at my doorway, i feel vibrations on my hand. a bunch of them as a matter of fact.
"ugh what now?" i think to myself.
imessage
aloe vera
mattia said to tell you we'll be there in 30
i got that same message from not only alvaro, but from alejandro, roshaun, robert, pinto, and mateo! all of which spammed me with like 10 messages, saying the same thing.
i didn't even feel like texting each of them back, so i sent the message saying "ok" in the groupchat with all of us. i wouldn't have even sent anything, but they would have kept texting me if i didn't respond.
i'm all sweaty from soccer practice. lifting my arm, i could feel my face shrivel and melt off from the disgusting must that overcame my armpits.
"feeling like i did too much-!" i hear myself sing in the shower to a song that's been stuck in my head for a while now.
feeling nothing but good vibes, the warm water trails down my spine, sending chills in return. my bouncy, fluffy hair is now all in my face. the soap is making scattered bubbles all over my body.
i can still hear my awkward vocals echo throughout the bathroom as i turn the water off. but now, i actually decide to turn some music on, and sing to that instead of singing to the silence.
the rough towel moved lightly against my skin. i was listening to mattias playlist, and playboi carti was on now. my jaw clenched as my phone got many more notifications, all of which were from mattia. naturally, my eyes rolled.
before i can even finish typing, replying back to mattia, i get a facetime call from him. dang mattia, can i get a break?
"yoo kai, imma need you to come out... like now!" mattia says to me, with a big smile plastered on his face.
"we're outside your house and there's this really fucking hot girl getting into a car." the pear shaped face says through the phone.
without even saying anything back, my thumb clicks the button that ends the call.
"bye ma!" i yell upstairs, walking out the front door with my shoes in hand. "god i really hope i'm not forgetting anything." i think angrily to myself. i'm always being rushed by them, no matter what.
seeing the black car parked messily in the road, i see alvaro scoot over in the backseat so i have a place to sit. all eyes are focused on a red car in front of them. i fix my eyes onto the car as well.
i feel like my jaw is dropping. i see a beautiful girl a few feet in front of me. boxes in hand, she's walking up to the porch of the house right next to mine, dropping them off inside the house. her silky ebony hair draped over her shoulders, her perfect white smile, and her big eyes caught all of our attention.
"babe, hurry up!" a manly voice hollers to the girl from inside the car. the girl scurries herself back to the car, and ever so gently, sits in the car. i can see from my peripheral vision that a pair of eyes are fixated on our car through the wing-side mirror.
"kai get in!" alejandro says looking at me with his arm hanging out the front seat window.
