The winter cold reddens our faces. We sit on swings.

- Do you want to talk ? I asked.
- Yeah, It can be interesting.
- Where does your first name come from ?
- My parents were super fans of FNAF so I inherited the name Fox for Foxy. he laughed.
- Oh that's not cool. I laughed gently.
- And you ?
- from the Bible, the Garden of Eden, the garden of the first humans, Adam and Eve.
- Ouch.
- Yes, I love my name. I said ironically.

Benjamin called him and apologized for leaving.

The fourth time we saw each other, I had just argued with Jessy :

I was in tears and walking past NYU. The private university of New York. Benjamin was smoking against the corner of the building. He looked up at me and threw his cigarette butt before crushing it with his foot.

- Fox is sick.
- I can't live in New York without you thinking that I stalke Fox ?
- You're just a little shit who thinks he's a guy like you.

I looked down and heard more footsteps.

- And that's the job. Fox said, taking out a set of keys.

I looked up at them and Fox was smiling even more than with me.

- It's your friend ? Fox said without recognizing me.

I turned around and went home.

Too bad, no Sin Padres.

The five time :

Sitting in the mall cafe, a cup of coffee in hand, I scrolled on my phone. Someone sat in front of me. Benjamin looked at me with an even darker look than last time.

- And you say that you don't stalke him, eh !
- No, since I've been coming to New York since I was born.
- Oh sorry, I thought you were born in China.
- I'm Korean, what about you ?
- Yes, I am African.
- I love your chocolate color.

He looked at me and laughed.

- Damn, no one ever did it to me to insult me ​​about my black skin.
- I really like your skin color. I admit it was racist.
- Oh don't worry. You're much nicer than the others.

Fox appeared with books in his arms.

- Benjamin, hurry up.

His gaze fell on me. His lips parted in surprise.

- Emily is waiting for me. I said as I got up and left.

I walked past the flower shop where Emily and Jessy were talking.

The next day I went to the bookstore and asked Mr. Lavender to give Fox a note.

- I would do it with pleasure, Eden.
