It All Started With Hello Ch.9

Artemis

How did I ever get so lucky?

It has been one month since Princeton and I started talking. Now its December and I feel like I know every little thing about him and he knows everything about me.

Princeton is so sweet and smart and kind. Every time I'm mad and don't want to talk about it, he'll sit on Skype and wait for me to talk; missing dinner or something. He says he only ever thinks of me; that I'm the first thing to cross his mind in the morning and the last thing at night.

It makes me feel so special and wanted, but I don't know if I should believe it.

When I told Horus about Princeton, he laughed in my face like it was a joke.

*****

"So when will I ever hear more about, Mr. Los Angeles?" Horus asked as we sat in the cafeteria for lunch.

"I don't know. What do you want to hear?" I asked as I ate a French fry.

"Let's start with his name." Horus said.

"He goes by his stage name Princeton." I said and Horus laughed loudly. I stared at him until he stopped.

"You're serious?" He asked.

"Yes. I can show you the text messages, the comment on Instagram, and the screen shots of the time and date that he followed me and commented." I said and started to pull out my phone.

"It's okay. I believe you." Horus said and pushed my hand down. It was silent for a few moments as we looked around the cafeteria.

"Does he answer you back instantly?" Horus asked.

"Sometimes it takes him a few to answer because of meet and greets and different things dealing with the group, but he always hits me back up." I smiled.

"Do you like talking to him?" He asked.

"I really do. I feel like no one knows me better than him...and you." I said.

"I'm glad you're finding someone who can replace me." Horus rolled his eyes playfully. The lunch bell rang and everyone scrambled to get to class.

"Don't worry. No one can take the place of my best friend." I smiled as we got up to go to class.

*****

Princeton actually liked talking to my friends when I was at school. I love how he wants to really be in my life and know all the people I love.

"Hey Russy. Jewel. Y'all wanna talk to Prince?" I asked.

"Sure, but how?" Horus asked as we sat in the library.

"Skype." Jari said.

"Oh yeah. Call him up." Horus clapped his hands. We walked to the back of the library where the beans bags were and laid down.

I called Princeton and put in my earbuds so no one, but the three of us could hear him. It was a piece that allowed more than one set of earbuds connect to a device.

"Hey Artemis! Jari." Princeton's smile appeared on my phone.

"Hey Prince." I waved at him.

"Hi Prince." Jari waved.

"Are you at school right now? Why am I asking? Of course you're at school." Princeton smiled.

"Goofy." I laughed. Jari laughed with me.

"Who me?" He gasped dramatically then we laughed. "Uh...who's that?"

"Oh. This is my best guy friend, Horus Drake. Horus, this is Princeton from Mindless Behavior." I introduced the two boys. They waved at each other.

"So you're related to Isis?" Princeton asked.

"Yeah. She's my older twin." Horus sighed.

"So the youngest twins kick it together?" Princeton smiled.

"Yeah." Horus and I said together.

"What's going on with the boys?" Jari asked.

"Nothing. Talking to your girls." Princeton answered.

"Whoa. Y'all all are talking to Mindless Behavior?" Horus asked. Princeton and Jari and I nodded.

"Did you wash your hair? It looks curlier and bushier." Princeton asked me.

"Yeah. It was in need of a wash. Your hair looks like it could use some attention." I said.

"Oh. You got jokes, huh?" Princeton laughed. We laughed with him.

"So what's good in New Orleans?" Princeton asked.

"Waiting on MB to show up to a certain school and perform for us." Horus and Jari smirked.

"I see why y'all are best friends. Y'all smirk a lot." Princeton commented.

"Being the youngest twin and child you have to be sneaky and conceiving. We are both just that." I said and Horus chuckled darkly.

"I'm very afraid right now." Princeton said.

"Don't worry. As long as you aren't on my bad side, you're safe." I smirked and gave him an evil look. Horus, Jari, and I laughed at Princeton's horrified face.

"Prince. Jewel. Rus. Second enrichment is almost over. We gotta get to class." Isis said to us. "Hey Princeton!" She waved once she saw what we were doing.

"Hey Royal!" Princeton waved back.

"She can't hear you." I told him. He waved again at Isis.

"Come one y'all! Before we get in trouble." Isis said. Horus nodded.

"Nice talking to you, man. Caught ya later." Horus nodded to Princeton and got up. He helped Jari and me up.

"Bye Prince." Jari waved.

"Bye Prince." I smiled sadly.

"Adiós, mi amor. Voy a contar los minutos hasta que hable con usted de nuevo." Princeton said in Spanish. It was so cute, but I didn't understand a word he said.

"What?" I asked. He blew me a kiss and gave me a wink. I blew a kiss quickly then put my phone in my pocket.

"What did he say?" Jari asked as we walked back to class with Horus and Isis.

"Adiós, mi amor. Voy a contar los minutos hasta que hable con usted de nuevo. All I know is Bye, my love. Other then that, I have no idea what he said, but it was...damn!" I said and the girls nodded in understandment. Jari waved at us before walking back to her class.

Horus shook his head and smiled at Yulissa as she passed by. Yulissa is Cuban. She can tell me what Princeton said.

"Oh Yulissa! Yuli, can you translate something for me?" I called to Yulissa. She stopped and smiled.

"What do you need me to say?" Yulissa asked as she looked at Horus behind me.

"Adiós, mi amor. Voy a contar los minutos hasta que hable con usted de nuevo. What does it mean?" I asked.

"Bye, my love. I shall count the minutes until I speak to you again." Yulissa translated. "Who telling you stuff like that?"

"Some guy I know." I played it off casually. "Bye Yuli. We gotta get in class."

"Bye." She smiled and walked into the Science and Social Studies classroom as we walked into the English one.
