New Friend

Narra Shaun

After Henry went to his room, I decided to go out and get some fresh air, I went to the park that had a connection with the forest; Without realizing it, I walked so much that I ended up lost and tired, I did nothing but rub my face, releasing a bit of stress, I stood still for a moment then sat on the grass and leaned my back against the trunk of a tree. It didn't take me long to notice that there was another person near the place. I was long enough from the park so it was rare to find someone so far away.

Shaun: Huh? Hello? -I got no answer- Is there anyone there? -I tried not to sound nervous or rude as I didn't want to alert the person-.

X: Who are you? What are you doing around here? - A tall guy with brown skin, blue-gray eyes, and brown hair emerged from his hiding place; He seemed like a cute boy and I did not see or perceive bad intentions in him- You are within the grounds of my house.

Shaun: Huh? Oh, sorry, I was walking distracted, I ended up getting lost and I wanted to sit for a while, I did not know that there was someone living in this area. My name is Shaun, you...? -I didn't want to move much because even though I was speaking softly, I didn't want him to be alert and attack me but it was uncomfortable for me to speak from the ground-.

X: My name is Issac -he spoke, his voice sounded calmer than a moment ago, he showed me a smile which made me feel strangely confident- I do not know how distracted you have been to get here but it seems that you are tired And with too many things in mind, it might sound strange, but wouldn't you like to stop by for to have a drink at my house? It's a few steps away and you could even get some rest

Shun: Huh, well ... -I thought about it for a few seconds because it was really strange that despite having entered the area of her house, he invited me to come to her house- I don't know.

Isaac: You shouldn't worry, I won't do anything, calm down, I just felt that you would rather have a drink after walking so much -he raised his hands in front of him as a sign of not having anything in his hands and trying to get I to accept-.

Shaun: I'm not really sure about this -I whispered as I watched him approach me and extended his hand to help me up- It's...okay Isaac, thank you -He smiled at me and unconsciously I smiled back-.

He was right in saying that his house was not that far away, when I got there I could see a rustic wooden structure outside, it was huge but it kept details of a common house, I could feel the aromas of nature combined with those of the wood in the house and the plants outside it. Upon entering it I was equally or more delighted because the interior felt totally homey, except for the beige armchairs, everything was made of wood but it looked well structured.

Shaun: It is a very beautiful house for far from the city -I said while smiling looking at all the places -.

Isaac: Oh -I heard him laugh a little- thank you, it took me a lot of work to build it.

Shun: How? Did you build it alone? -He nodded smiling- Wow, your house is very beautiful, it really fascinates me.

Isaac: Well, uh, thanks. I'll go get something to drink both, I'll be right back -as he said, he left and I kept looking around the house, it was really beautiful- I came back -I was so concentrated looking around that I got scared putting myself in a fighting position- Oh sorry, I didn't want to scare you, take -he offered me a glass which I took and later filled it with lemonade-.

Shaun: Thanks, I didn't think I could have a relaxing time in the middle of nowhere -I laughed a little before closing my mouth immediately- oh, sorry, I didn't mean to sound rude.

Isaac: Hey, don't worry, I actually do like living alone, I lived secluded during my childhood so I don't really like the idea of having people or the noise of the city close -he said looking out the window, which overlooked a small stream, it was very nice, he closed his eyes and stayed like that for a few seconds- Don't you think it's really relaxing?

I just nodded to what he said, I turned to the front like him and closed my eyes, somehow I could hear the birds that were flying through the area, in the distance a river and the leaves of the trees moved by the rushing wind. I did not think I could relax so much with someone I just met, he reminded me a bit of Henry because of his appearance and his personality but I preferred to downplay it so as not to feel bad about everything that happened.

I was there for a large part of the afternoon, we talked about nature, I thought that boy was very good because he was kind, cute and understanding, we had a really good time, so much so that I did not think about Henry, it was a really fun and pleasant afternoon. The excitement, fun, or whatever was so much that I didn't notice that there was almost no daylight until a message came to my cell phone, it was Ethan.

Ethan: Shaun, where are you?

Shaun: I went for a walk, I'm back in a moment I'll be there.

Ethan: Well, walk carefully, I'll wait for you for dinner. Goodbye.

Shaun: Yes, I'm going home.

I hung up the call while Isaac was looking out the window overlooking the creek, I put the phone away as I put my glass on the table next to the couch where we were talking.

Shaun: Aw, Issac I have to go home, my brother will kill me if I don't arrive now, could you come with me? It is very late and I still have no idea how I got here - I commented a little embarrassed laughing- I live in a house that is at the beginning of one side of the forest.

Issac: Sure little one -said suddenly, which surprised me, I blushed a little, few told me like that, only Smith, Ethan, and Henry- ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bother you, I just wanted to sound friendly but it didn't work out -I laughed at this, it seems that he reassured him- well, well, let's so it doesn't get done later.

We left his house and went to the outskirts of the forest, all we did was talk about trivial things, laugh at some nonsense that we made up on the way until when we were near the house I heard the voice of someone behind us.

X: Isaac?
