Pretty sure

He/Him

She's telling me how her entire life is going, why she wore that dress last week, how much she hated her speech teacher and how much she loves her cat. I just tell her my best friend's name. I am really good at listening to people and I don't complain, but she has talked for an hour and I just laugh.

I see Cristina in the reflex of the window. She likes to work with public, she enjoys it. She says "hi" with a big smile to every single client and sometime laugh with them, no matter if it's a man, a girl, a student, a teacher or whatever. But she was mean with me.

-I'll go to the bathroom. I'll be right back. -Chloe said. -I had an emergency; I have to go- she said when she came back.

-Oh, I'm really sorry, I hope everything's okay. -I was sorry for the emergency, but I didn't care the fact that she was leaving.

I stayed there for I don't know how much time until Cristina came and sat in front of me. It was time to close but she apologized with me for my last name jokes. I felt really good and I don't know why. I asked her I could walk with her and we did. We walked a lot, but in the way I get to know that she's 19, she's Latina, that her love to work with people and giving a service and that those 30 minutes of walk were the best thing in the whole day.

But I'm sure it didn't mean something else, she also told me to call Chloe and ask her to go out again. I don't want to, no after meet Cristina, but come on we just talked for 30 minutes.

When I got to my room there was Richard, my roommate.

-You look happy...- he said. -and tired.

-I made a half hour walk with a nice girl. -I answered.

-That explains everything. -he went back to his phone.

I can't sleep. I have so much in my mind. Should I call Chloe? How did she fell of the table? Does Cristina work there every day? Do I really like coffee? Do I have any pendent work for tomorrow? I don't think so. Did I put the alarm? I'll check. Yes, I did. Uh, an Instagram notification. Does she have Instagram? I don't know her last name. Cristina what? Why I didn't ask her? You're so dumb. What if a ask her tomorrow? Is it weird if I look for her tomorrow? I'll go for a coffee and then I ask. We can be good friends, she's nice, kind, funny, and she apologized. Will I call Chloe? I don't know...

I woke up by Richard's alarm, it was 8:00 am. My first class today is not until ten, so I kept sleeping.

I woke up again by my alarm again and the first thing I notice is a message from Chloe.

"I had a fun time today; I would love to see you again"

I type the answer quickly

"I'd love to, wanna have lunch together today?"

And she answered immediately.

"See you at in the principal door at 15:00?"

"I'll be there"

That was easier than I thought.

My first class was boring, I was just drawing doodles in the back of my book. The girl next to me was just listening to music and not paying attention at all. My phone vibrated and I look at it.

It was Jake, he was asking me if I had something to do for lunch. I replied him that I was going out with Chloe again and he sent a voice note. I'll hear it later.

It was 14: 43 and I have a few minutes to leave my things at my room, I don't have more classes today.

I was almost arriving to my room and there was Cristina. She was talking with a tall guy and he was giving something to her. I went into my room and went out at the moment waiting for her to be there. And yes, she was out. In my door about to knock. She got scared when I opened it.

-Hey, Bellamore! - she said with that smile.

-Hey, Cristina. I just found out that I don't know your last name.

-It's a mystery. - she laughed- Smith, Cristina Smith.

-I thought you were Latina...

-I am, but my dad isn't. I was born and raised in Chile. - she said proud.

-I see... What are you doing around here?

-If I tell I'll have to kill you- she said serious and then she laughed- There are some guys with problems in Spanish, you know? They pay really good for worksheets.

-Hahaha, that's very smart.

-Por supuesto. - have you ever heard a perfect Spanish? I just did. -Where are you going now?

-I'm having lunch with Chloe. I'm supposed to see her at 15:00

-Oh, five minutes ago? - that smile again.

-Fuck! See you around! - and before leaving I kissed her in the cheek.
