The Endless Journey Home

And just like that, the day was over. I grabbed my things and I started to walk out the school gates, when I suddenly hear a familiar annoying voice from behind me. "Ali! Wanna walk home together!" Darn. Where on earth did this girl come from!? I spun around "No." "Oh, come on! Ali, we live in the same complex!" How the heck did I not see her all these years then? I would've avoided her earlier... "I walk alone. Just play your games on your phone" I assume she plays games because of the Mario socks. "Oh my phone is dead. I'm bored now" Nova replied. "So now I'm your entertainment?" "Yes! Exactly!" I spun back around and started walking home. "So can I walk with you?" Nova wasn't really asking for permission... Even if I say no she'll tag along behind me... "*Sigh* fine" "YAAAAAY! You're the best, Alligator! I mean Alison! I mean—" "Just. Ali. Got it?" I sounded madder then I should have. I looked at her, then We made direct eye contact. "Woah...." "What is it, Nova!?" "Your eyes...." I should have kept my cool... Oh no not again....
