Wandering through thick crimson fields, thorns tearing at my skin, the wind whispers sweet symphonies into my ears, sweeping the curly hazelnut locks from my grey eyes.
"Vinnie! Wait up!" I hear squeals behind me & as I turn around I see Luna, my best friend since forever, her thick blonde hair blankets over her sweet ocean blue eyes. As she runs the large red flowers swing in the breeze & before i can even take another breathe... BANG! We collapse to the floor in a heap of laughter. "Did you not think to stop running?" I sigh as Luna grins infront of me. We stumble to out feet and continue through the rose garden, it was only a few houses away from home so we came often to hang out. Luna only lived across the street so it was only natural for us to meet before school, after school, every 5 seconds... the list goes on.
After a while we reach the end of the gorgeous petal covered hike, we step back onto the concrete pavement, car after car zooms by, occasionally someone will walk by, sometimes with a dog sometimes not, it was always great seeing the cute little doggy walk by. Luna and I always try guess its breed before asking it's owner. Me and Luna have a lot in common, for example, we both LOVE rats, from their teeny little noses to the not to teeny tails, then theres the snakes, we both have an obsession with their beautifully patterned scales. But aside from animals we both love arts and crafts or writing, sometimes we even help eachother create new storyboards or our art projects.
Luna once said that I give her the same love her dad did, he passed a while ago after a gut wrenching battle with cancer. But she doesn't like to talk about it much.
As we continue our trek up the steep hill me and Luna listen to cavetown on my phone, Luna pulls out her vape and takes a few puffs, she offers me one but ive never been one for vaping, i never got the point of it, Mother has always taught me that they just give you cancer. As we make it to the top of the hill, we finish our long conversation about what the best cavetown song is, I reach the grey slate tiles of my patio and grab my keys out of my bleached denim trouser pocket. I got them from shein a while ago with my weekly pocket money, they are pretty worn out now, i saved up for atleast a month to get them, money well spent. I lift my scarred hand and twist the key to open the door to be greeted by a thick scent of lemon and citrus, "Vinnie your home! How was your walk dear," Mother has clearly been baking as her cheeks were covered in flour and her floral pink apron was draped over her shoulder. I stepped into the house and closed the sizeable white door behind me, "Yeah it was alright, I met up with Luna half way," I explained as it slid up slyly upstairs, I opened my black and white cow print wooden door to step into the wooden floored room, the wall was covered in photos of me and Luna on our adventures. My favourite image on the wall was of Me, Luna and my cute little beareded dragon called Candycorn, she is yellow, white and orange, other than Luna she is my best friend. I take her mostly everywhere with me.
I flop onto my bed and huff and i open my phone, 67 notifications from a groupchat of the "popular kids", 2 notifications suddenly appear from Luna, 'Bro imagine how cool the next girl in red songs are gonna be, they just keep improving, shes so cool' & another one... the other one, it was the anniversary of her dads birthday, i sent a quick reply saying 'im so sorry, hope your doing okay, x'
