First Kiss

“Hugo, Elvira,” I called, rushing towards them. They were all here except Oscar. I hugged Elvira and Ivone. Then the boys embraced us from behind. I was so emotional and this hug was lifesaving.

“We were worried about you,” Orion said. And a tear escaped my watery eyes.

“Did she hurt you?” Elvira asked with much compassion. She held my chin up and Ivone gasped at the redness.

“We should put some ice on it.”

“Is it that bad?” Hugo inquired from behind, stretching his neck to see.

“I didn’t know where to find you… I..” I tried explaining but tears forced me to stop.

“Don’t cry dear. We’re proud of you.” Pedro called me dear for the first time and it sounded as ‘fear'.

It meant a lot to me truly, they were dear to me. And being without them only made me realize how important they were to me.

“That silly girl deserves a piece of me.” Elvira groaned while patting my shoulder.

“She’s not worth it.” Ivone said, “We should leave, I think.”
