Mom:You guys staying over?
Me:Na-
Omar:Please?
I look to him and sigh before nodding. She smiles and nods.
Mom:It's food in the fridge, so good night my loves.
Me:Goodnight mom love you.
Mom:Love you baby.
I stand up and we go to my room. I slip Omar into the bed, thank my mom for getting him cleaned up for bed. I slip out of my clothes and change into some jogging pants and a hoodie. I walk down the stairs and out the door. I pull the joint from my pocket and light it, I sit on the porch and sigh.
Me:What am I gonna do with my life? What am I doing here?
Man:Looking beautiful giving all us uglies something to live for.
I look up seeing a guy in a uniform, I look him up and down and lean back shaking my head.
Me:Cheesy. What's up?
He grins and walks closer, he's sorta cute but it's definitely not a good time.
Man:Can I get your name?
Me:Amara, you?
Man:Santino. You must be new here.
Me:Nah, I'm not actually, I'm not a freeridge native but I've been here three years now.
Man:How you like it so far?
Me:Problematic as hell.
Santio:Yeah, it can definitely be that... You attend UCal?
Me:Yeah, you went?
Santino:Yeah, for my last year.
Me:Wow, where did you go before?
Santino:University of Chicago. I'm down here for grad school now, but I'm a freeridge native.
Me:Get out! I'm from Chicago, I got accepted full ride but... Yeah.
I don't need to go back to that time.
Santino:Well, what are you going for?
Me:Education of English. You?
Santino:Neuroscience.
Me:Oh so you're smart huh?
He chuckles and grins.
Santino:If you were my teacher I can see why.
I roll my eyes and giggle. Damn I'm not supposed to be doing this.
Me:You're a big flirt for someone who doesn't know me.
Santino:I can't get to know you?
I look down the street before sighing.
Me:I'm sure as a college student how difficult life could be.
Santino:Yeah, and that's how I know you need a distraction.
I hand him my phone and he grins and puts his number in before telling me to hit him up next time I'm free. He walks away and I relight my blunt.
Sad Eyes: Long time no see,Mara.
I look over and grin seeing Carlos, I stand up and he hugs me tightly, I pull away and he leans against the railing as I sit back down.
