kangaroo love || sockie norris x y/n

the beginning..

here i am laying next to my dad at the beach. our first day of rest since moving to newcastle. we decided to take a break from unpacking our stuff. already, australia is so much more different from new york..

all of a sudden my dad nudges me, "look at those kids over there," he says, pointing to the left, "you should try to be friend with them, ay?" he smiles at me.

i look to where he was pointing and see 4 teenagers holding a vlog camera.

"ehh i dont know, dad," i say hesitantly.

"oh come on, it wouldnt kill you to try and make some new friends!" after him saying this for a little while, i obliged and started to make my way towards them.

one of them, the boy, caught me and waved. i waved back and approached them.

"hey!"

one of the girls turned around to face me. "oh, hello!" she says, "can we help you?"

"oh! uhm, well my dad thinks that anyone who is a teenager is perfect for befriending. so, really i guess im here to just say hi!"

the boy laughs then says, "are you from america?"

"the accent is that noticeable, huh. yeah, im from new york."

"that's sickk" one of the other girls responded. "how do you like it here?"

"well i havent had a lot of time to actually enjoy the place yet, but besides the heat its been okay"

"well thats good, we didnt get to introduce ourselves yet! im sabre," the girl said and she started pointing down the line and saying the names of the others. "thats biggy, naz, and sockie."

i look at the last girl, sockie. shes taller than the rest and hasnt spoken at all. shes pretty though.

"nice to meet you" i look back at biggy when he says it.

i noticed that sabre is still holding the camera i saw them with earlier. i point to it and ask, "whats the camera for?"

they started to explain to me how they have a vlog channel and they were vlogging. seems like australian behaviour tbh.

we talked for a little while and my dad called me over so we can get dinner.

before i started to walk away, biggy said, "can we get your number so we can all talk again, this was fun" as he said that, i see naz turn her head a little and chuckle. i decide to shrug it off and gave them all my number.

"see ya!" i said and walked to my father.

"soo how did it go??" my dad asks

"good, they were nice."

"see, always listen to your father" he smiles and we get in the car
