I Don't Fit In~ Ruel Van Dijk

HINA:

"I'm Coco and this is Sylvie", Coco greets.

"Oh I'm Hina", I smile.

"I know my parents talk a lot. You guys wanna go to my room"? Coco asks.

"Okay"! I'm kind of stoked to have some friends.

"Let's go den". Ruel comes along.

"Ruel you stay. Girls only" Coco snaps at Ruel.

I giggle. We walk up some stairs to a hallway.
"This is my room", Coco says.
"So where did you move from"? Sylvie asks me.

"Canada"

"Oh that's cool. You have an accent".

"Yeah haha. You guys have an accent to me".

"Really no way"!

We all got along really well. Some time passed and it was finally dinner time.

"Dinner"! Ruel opened the door and rolled his eyes at Coco.

The dinner was really good. Mom brought dessert. Her really yummy ice cream mochi. We are going to eat that later since we are stuffed from dinner. This time, Ruel asks me if I want to go to his room.

"Uh sure"! I look over at Coco and Sylvie. They look bummed.

I follow behind Ruel to his room. He is literally doing 100k per mile with his long legs.

"This is my room", he opens the door.

It's very colourful. There is an accent wall with cool, colourful wallpaper.

"You can sit down", he points to a desk chair.

"Thank you"

"So where are you from? You have an accent haha".

I have to answer the same question.
"Canada", I smile.

"Oh nice. Do you have any hobbies"?

"Uh yeah? I like drawing/painting. I play guitar. I also love writing songs I guess. I'm not too good at that haha". I also love singing but I don't know if I'm good. I've never took lessons so I don't know from my ears if I'm good or bad. Lol. I prefer not to bring my singing up in the conversation.

"Oh cool. I like to sing lots haha".

It's kind of awkward. But he sings too?! That sick.
"Which school do you go to"? I hope he or his sisters go to my new school.

"Redlands"

"Oh really! I'm going to that school"!
I lighten up. Yes!

"Oh nice! You can ask me questions about Redlands anytime. I can show you around too".

"Thank you! I'm kind of relieved there will be someone there I know".
"Hey, uhh what's your Snapchat or Instagram"? Ruel scratches the back of his neck.

"Oh here". I show him my phone screen that's opened to Snapchat.

"Thanks. I'll add you right now".

I accept his add.

RUEL

Hina is really nice so far. I can see she is a shy and quite person. Hopefully once I get to really know her, she'll open up. We had tons in common. She writes songs and plays guitar. I mean I'm not the greatest at drawing but I enjoy it when I do it. She loves drawing so I bet she's good at it.

  I eventually got her Instagram. She's cute. Like a small girl cutie-patuty cute. She's just cute.
—
It's 3 am. I lay in my bed binge watching Tiger King. It's awesome.
  Hina pops into mind. I wonder if she skateboards. If she does I can show her my skating spot. It's a skate park that's a 5 minute walk away. It's very colourful and uplifting.
     I open my Snapchat to text Hina. No what am I doing. It's literally 3am. I forgot how late it is.
—
My phone slowly slips out of my hand and my eyes close.

Hina:
It's 3am and I open Ruel on Snapchat to text him. Maybe we can meet up tomorrow for a skate day (if he even skateboards).
Wait. No way! I forgot how late it is. It's literally 3am. He wouldn't be awake right now.
