Chapter 8

My bestfriend

Emily: Really!!! (Laughs).

Alex: yeah really, why are you laughing?

Emily: Because it's funny.

Alex: How is it funny?

Emily: What is a hot popular boy doing with a black newbie?

Alex: How am I popular?

Emily: you're gonna seriously ask me that question?

Alex: yeah!

Emily: (raises an eyebrow), so basically you're a member of the soccer team, you just left the spot where the ''populars'' (air quote) seat, you just literally handshaked more than half of the schools population before getting your food, and there are a lot of girls staring at you.

Alex: wow! Really true and pathetic, but please can you stop raising your eyebrows at me it's creepy.

Emily: Whatever!!!

Alex: so…. Tell me more about you.

Emily: I still can't phantom why you're sitting next to me.

Alex: (laughs)

Emily: ok, what do you want to know about me?

Alex: you, your family, got any siblings….. Just the basics.

Emily: so….I'm Emily Rodriguez.

Alex: wait, so your father is David Rodriguez?

Emily: yep!

Alex: cool! Continue.

Emily: my brother's name is Bryan, my mom's name is Jane, and I'm 17 years, I love dogs, I'm straight.

Alex: you really didn't have to say the last part, I know a straight person when I see one.

Emily: you do? Now I'm bisexual, bet you didn't see that one coming.

Alex: (laughs) we both know your not.

Emily: lol (rolls her eyes playfully)

After having a wonderful… you know, lunch with Alex I had a few classes later then went back to my dorm room. Throughout my thoughts were only on Alex, it sounded and looked really stupid (how the hell am I liking this boy?), i decided then that I will remove his thought from my mind, so when I got inside I called my bestfriend, Kylie.

(Beginning of phone call)

Emily: hey lie.

Kylie: hey ly.

Emily: why haven't you called me till now, you just broke section A, part B of the bestfriend code.

Kylie: ly I'm sorry, please forgive me. I've been just busy and it won't repeat itself.

Emily: really, busy doing what I I may ask?

Kylie: went on a dinner date with Rob.

Emily: I guessed so, but that doesn't mean you can't send at least a message.

Kylie: I'm sorry babe, I owe you big time for this.

Emily: you're FOR, the GIVEN will come later when I feel like.

Kylie: love you toots.

Emily: whatever!

Kylie: so…. Now, tell me what's been happening. Found anyone to replace me as your bestie because I'm kind of getting tired, you're utterly frustrating.

Emily: hardly, and by the way you're stuck with me. (Laughs)

Kylie: got it, so back to my question.

Emily: what question?

Kylie: don't do that shit with me!!

Emily: jeez!! Lie, language.

Kylie: yeah, so tell me.

Emily: ok so, most of the people in this school suck. So far it's only one person that doesn't suck.

Kylie: and who is that?

Emily: Alex, his my friend we are lab partners in chemistry class.

Kylie: hmm, really!! Sounds like your perfect boyfriend. (Laughs)

Emily: no, he's not and you know I'm not really into dating like you, you're a grandmaster.

Kylie: thanks for the compliment but can you stop behaving like a pant, braze up girl!! I taught you better.

Emily: ok, so… tell me about your romantic date with Rob.

Kylie: it was awesome, Rob is a total gentleman you know.

Emily: yeah right.

Kylie: missed you a lot ly.

Emily: missed you to lie.

Kylie: it's really boring in Oakwood without you, you do behave like a squirrel.

Emily: and you're a rat.

Kylie: I can't believe you just spoiled our moment by calling me a rat, you psycho.

Emily: my pleasure, and you called me a squirrel first.

Kylie: love you ly.

Emily: love you lie. Talk to you later bye.

(End of phone call)

I love Kylie with all my heart, she is my sister from another mother, we've been friends for a very long time and I miss her even if she's crazy.

I go to the bathroom and have a shower then wear my to pj's sleep.

The week ran by pretty fast even though a lot of people didn't quite like me, I enjoyed it because of one person by my side, Alex.

Alex sat with me throughout the week, he always made me laugh, and he always waited for me at lunch and even helped me carry my bags and books to class, showed me around.

It felt like I was protected (reason why I miss Bryan), Bryan called me only once since I've been in school, he's not much of a talkative but he loves parties.

Today is Saturday and I'm at the garden with Alex, he always seems to amaze me.

Alex: you know you're crazy right.

Emily: what do you mean, I like being crazy.

Alex: yeah!! You bet.

Emily: so…. Got any sibling?

Alex: yeah, a younger brother, his name is Christian.

Emily: so you got a Christian Montez, interesting!

Alex: see why I can't take you out, you're crazy.

Emily: wow!! (Rolls her eyes)

Alex: I'm just joking (squeezes the tip of my nose).

Emily: ouch!! Dog!!

Alex: pussy!!

Emily: lol, you're annoying.

Alex: yeah, but I'm sexily annoying.

Emily: you just love being proud.

Alex: how? Is it because I said I'm sexy.

Emily: yes…. No... Maybe, just forget it.

Alex: (laughs) you're no fun (pouts).

Emily: and you are? Grow up mister.

Alex: you're getting on my nerves girl, be careful of the things you say around me before the avatar in me comes out.

Emily: you're such a baby, really!! Avatar was the best thing you could come up with.

Alex: (laughs) you really do underrate me.

Emily: yeah I do, ''Mr. Avatar''.

Alex: (laughs) it's time for lunch, let's get our food.

We then head to the cafeteria.

Alex orders for fries like he often does and I order for some cheese burgers and chicken.
