ESTEVAN
First day of 11th grade.
And im already late. Astoria said to meet her by her house but I havent even left my own yet.
Maybe I can leave in time....
Just as I thought that my phone rang.
Astoria.
Shit she's probably waiting for me down the block.
I ran to put on my shoes and turned my phone to speaker
ESTEVÀN WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU. WE'RE GONNA BE LATE ON OUR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. IF YOU DONT HURRY IT UP IM LEAVING YOU.
well, im screwed.
I ran out the door, passed some kid and towards her house and almost right into her.
"There you are! Come on, we have to hurry" She practically yelled as we ran and caught the next bus. "What even took you so long?" She sighed "if not for me we would be running to school right now"
I held my schoolbag on my lap and looked out the windows, the city buildings passing by. "I dunno. Slept in I guess" i shrugged. "But we're here now so..."
She rolled her eyes and opened her phone. "Look" she said tilting the screen so I could see.
All it was was some girl, who vaguely looked familiar. From our school maybe?
"And what, or who exactly am I looking at?" I said turning to face her.
She sighed dramatically. "Warren! How could you NOT know. THIS is the most beautiful wonderful goddess who's name is Wisteria and she followed me a few days ago on Quickgram. She was literally in our class last year"
I looked at her, not answering. Everytime she finds someone cute she gets overly obsessed and eventually heartbroken.
"Uh-huh..." I said skeptical "And why does this matter"
She feigned heartbreak. "BECAUSEEE im gonna ask her out!" She paused and seemed to think about that
"...eventually. I'll have to get to know her and such first but then you'll see."
I simply nodded and opened my own phone. I heard her sigh and look back to her own screen.
Minutes later I feel a hand tap my shoulder.
"We're heree" Astoria says.
I take off my headphones and gather my stuff.
Astoria shows me her phone again, mainly about the girl as we walk towards the building with huge brown letters
