Alex looked down at his phone, he wanted to text Katrina again but he didn't want to interrupt their "date". He tucked his phone in his pocket and walked downstairs.
"Mom, I'm going out!" Alex said slipping on his shoes.
Valerie called from upstairs. "With who??"
"Just myself mom, I'm going for a walk."
"Oh, ok. You could visit that girl, Choe. Remember, we met her this morning." Cloe was also involved in the same volunteer work as Alex, his parents Katrina, her parents and her friends.
"Yeah whatever" Alex said and walked out the door.
He walked down the road a ways and then he saw someone biking towards him. It was Cloe. She had long curly blond hair and light pink glasses. She was curvy, lean and tall. She wore denim shorts and a white athletic tank-top. How she kept it white in that heat was a mystery. She stopped her bike next to Alex, flipping her hair away from her face as she got off the bike. "Hey, didn't I see you this morning?"
"Yeah, my name is Alex Dyson, what's yours again?"
"I'm Cloe Ortega." She smiled, sparkling her white teeth.
"Cool, so, you always live in Spain?"
"Yeah, I've seen Paris but never lived anywhere but Spain."
"That's really cool. I've been to Mexico and Canada but I've never been to Paris!"
She laughed. "That's funny, I've never been to either of those places. You're from the United States right?" She asked.
"Yeah, Seattle, never lived anywhere but until now."
"Cool, what's it like there?"
"High-rise buildings, stores, lots to do"
"I bet!"
"So do you speak French? You said you went to Paris.
"Yeah, I'm fluent in English, French, German and of course, Spanish."
"Wow, I only know English and I've learned a bit of Spanish. I've been taking online classes for a week now."
"Ah, cuando usted dice "un poco", quieres decir?"
"bastante"
"Very good!" She clapped.
"Good, so you did say what I thought you said."
"What do you say, we hang out tomorrow?"
"My friend from Seattle is coming to visit, if you don't mind hanging out with her too, sure."
"Girlfriend?"
"No, no we're just friends."
"See you later then." Cloe kissed his cheek and biked away.
