two
The weekend is here and I suddenly feel so good. I don't need to stress with any assignments or homework or people and it just feels like gold.
I was sat in my bed when my phone made a buzz sound. I raised my hand and stretched it until I reached my night stand and took my Samsung. I actually didn't like iPhones, they were so overrated and it's not that much of a difference. You can contact people even with a brick so I don't get all the fuss. You just spend loads of money for a phone that shuts down when it's too cold outside.
I unlocked it and looked at the message I got. It was from Aiden. Already? I mean, we saw each other and exchanged numbers only yesterday and he's already texting me?
From Aiden: Hi, Leo! It's Aiden. I was wondering if you have plans today?
Yes. Yes I have. I wanted to watch a new tv series or something and eat until I physically can't anymore. Then sleep and repeat.
To Aiden: Not really, just boring stuff. Why?
Never turn down a possible friend. You never know when you might need help with future enemies. Not that i have any. At least not that i know of.
From Aiden: I wanted to go out, see some places here and you said you're up for it.
To Aiden: Really? Right now?
Right now? It only 12 p.m, I woke up like an hour ago. I haven't even brushed my teeth yet and I look gross. I know i agreed to show him around but I wasn't really expecting him to be serious, I though he just wanted to be nice.
From Aiden: Well, I was thinking in like an hour or so.
To Aiden: Totally. See you in an hour at the mcdonald's close to school.
From Aiden: Cool. See youシ︎
I groaned and finally got out of my very comfortable bed that just wants to keep me for itself.
After I brushed my teeth and washed my face I made my way to the closet. It seems pretty chilly outside so I have to choose my clothes carefully. I decided to go with a pair of khaki pants and striped long sleeved shirt over a black t-shirt. I put on my socks and my old converse and took out a big, green jacket to wear over my outfit. (reference on media) I really liked big clothes. They were so comfortable and they looked much better than the fitted ones, at least on me.
I took one long look at my outfit in the mirror before giving myself a thumbs up. My phone indicates that I have 10 minutes left until I'll meet Aiden and I suddenly panick. Where did all the time go?
I rush out of my apartment after telling my mom I'm going out with a friend and literally sprinted over to the meeting place since I lost the bus.
Fuck. And I was dressed so good. Now I'm gonna ruin it with this unexpected run. I don't like wrinkly outfits.
I can see the fast food now and I slow down a bit so I can hopefully catch my breath by the time I arrive. I'm not in the best shape and I can feel it in the lower part of my ribcage.
To Aiden: I'm almost there. What are you wearing?
I sent Aiden a message and I hope I don't sound to direct. I just need to know.
From Aiden: Black jeans and a dark blue hoodie. Why? ((:
I read his text and I decided not to answer. I continued my walk until I was across the street from mcdonald's. I looked up but I just couldn't see Aiden. There were three people dressed exactly like he told me he was and now I was so confused. Why is his style so common?
To Aiden: I know it sounds weird but could you maybe come to me? I'm across the street. I'm wearing a green jacket.
I exhaled and continued to look in my phone. His answer didn't came but I hope he got my message.
"Leo!" a voice said. This is Aiden.
"Hi" I said looking up. His hoodie was covered by a black jacket and he didn't told me. Otherwise I would have recognised him.
"I waved at you when you were close. I saw you from a distance but I guess you didn't notice"
"Uh, yeah. I didn't see you" I scratched the back of my neck. "What do you want to do?" I asked him wanting to change the subject.
"Well, I didn't really think about it. I obviously don't know much around here so it's up to you" we started walking "I like your outfit".
"Thanks. I like it too"
Silence. This is awkward. Say something, Leo.
"So, why did you move here?"
Was I too direct? Is it too personal?
"Oh, it's a long story but basically my mum cheated on my dad so we moved".
I made him uncomfortable. Gosh, this is probably the last time I'm going to offer someone a tour.
"Sorry."
"Don't be. It's much better without her. I mean, I love her, of course, she gave birth to me after all, but my dad seems more happier since he doesn't argue with her anymore. That's pretty much all they did anyway so, yeah."
I don't understand how he can be so open about this. He doesn't even know me, I could tell the whole school if I wanted. I won't but I could if I was a jerk. I'm not.
❁❁❁
We chatted some more and I showed him some parts of the city. Mostly parks because I didn't know most of the historical things and all the monuments even though I've lived here for 17 years.
Now we are here, in front of my house.
"Are you sure you know how to get home from here? I can call you a taxi if you want" he insisted on taking me home. I didn't ask him to and now I don't want him to get lost. Luckily it's still day outside so it's not that dangerous but you never know.
"Yes. I'm good. Don't worry" he chuckled "Thanks for today. I had a great time and hopefully we can do this again"
"Yeah. I had a great time too." I really did. I haven't had much fun in weeks and I actually enjoyed myself for once.
"I guess I'll see you on monday!" He said and gave me a quick side hug. I don't know what is it about this but it made me feel good. Nobody really hugs me and it's nice. Sometimes.
He left and I looked at him while he walked. He turned his head and looked back, he waved. I looked at his face but nothing. I also waved and then entered my home.
