she has pretty hair stroke by stroke I try to recreate her features on paper. I wish I looked into her eyes I want to add it to my drawing; I think they were either blue or hazel brown .
"Are you sure she's still coming?" Tolu asked in a bored tone , I don't blame him though, school has been over for the past 30 minutes, but there is still no sign of Eleanor
"what was her last class?" Anne asked "I don't know,I didn't check her schedule, " I said shrugging , maybe I should have checked ,what if she got lost? , I was about to stand up to go look for her when I heard fast paced footsteps coming our direction I turned my head to see Eleanor running to me covered in sweat should I ask her why she's covered in sweat? I was about to ask but then decided against it, it might be a rude question
"so guys this is Eleanor and Eleanor these are my friends "I said as I gestured at them her eyes are onyx brown
"hey I'm Anne, I think I saw you today in literature class , your name is Eleanor right?" Anne said with her hand stretched out , looking at both of them stand side by side makes their contrasting features more evident, Eleanor has shaper and bold features while Anne has softer and less prominent features both equally beautiful in different ways ,Anne has always been nice to me ,she was my first ever friend
"yeah I sat behind you , you drew a wonderful looking pony" Eleanor replied
"yeah too bad it was a literature class or I would have made an easy A" Anne said in a joking manner as they both gave a little laugh ,Eleanor turned to Tolu waiting for him to introduce himself although It doesn't look like he is planning on doing so anytime soon , I think Anne noticed so she was about to speak for him when he unsurprisingly replied with
" my name is Moyosoretoluwase"
"wow that's a mouth full , do people actually learn that ?" Eleanor asked in slight curiosity
"people tend to avoid conversations with you when they can't remember your name, the longer the name the better for me " he stated like it was sone kind of fact ,I think Eleanor is starting to get irritated because her face seems a little scrunched up
"but you can just call him Tolu" Anne quickly said ,I think she is trying to diffuse the situation but Tolu shot back saying
"nope only friends get to call me Tolu, everyone else gets to not call me" He's not wrong though nobody calls him except us ,underneath his handsome, tall , slender and dark skinned appearance is a rude but chill guy with an almost insufferable personality and underneath his insufferable personality is a lonely boy with no one else to rely on but me , he is very complicated and difficult to understand but he's really not that bad , he's my rock and my best friend.
"So what part of Africa are you from?" Eleanor asked him , I don't think he's going to answer though,
"Nigeria"... Oh, I was wrong ...
"judging but the texture of your hair which one of your parent is not black" Tolu asked Eleanor
"my mom's Korean " she replied, I sighed knowing that the conversation seems to be going well
"so you're a halfling" Tolu said...oh I was wrong again...
"you could say that ,but I get the best of both worlds,unlike you " Eleanor replied,they continue to go back and forth with their insults , I don't know if I should intervene or not because the word they throw at each other are vile but they both seem to have a little smile on their faces almost like they are enjoying this , I turn and look to Anne for any confirmation that they are just playing around but she seems to only be physically present, im sure that she has tuned out of this conversation a long time ago I'm so confused

I waved Eleanor goodbye as she entered her car to go home , when her car was no longer in sight I turned to Tolu and asked
"will you be following me home today?" He looked like he was thinking about it then said
"nah I think I'll be crashing at the dorm room tonight,I'm pretty sure that nosey Mr camble is doing room check tonight " oh....how disappointing
"Anne , do you want a ride home?" I asked "nah my big brother is coming to pick me up " oh..... guess I'll be alone in the car
"which one?" Tolu asked almost snorting "the 6th one " Anne said rolling her eyes . I waved them goodbye as I entered my car driving down the populated yet lonely road.

As I entered my house I'm greeted with a hug from my reason to live , I look down at my brother about to return the hug when he surprisingly signed 'hello' to me ,
"you signed!oh my goodness you signed im so proud of you !" I exclaimed while kissing his forehead I'm grateful ,just like me my 7 year old little brother has also been diagnosed with autism but unlike me he has  high support needs and he's non verbal ,so because of that ,my 'father' hired an ASL tutor for him ,however it didn't look like he was learning anything but today he signed to me hope . I starred at him as I served him dinner I would give my soul to hear you call me big brother My little brother is the most important person to me, I want to keep him happy forever. I started humming a song as I cuddled him to bed when I heard the front door being swung open followed by footsteps going to our father's room he's early, its just 10:30 I guess he got tired of cussing at the sky for taking away his wife and giving him two flawed children ,I tried to take my mind off him and think of something else, I was surprised when my last thought before I drifted to bed was she has pretty hair...
