Alex meets the world

New york

Alex POV

New York is a lot bigger than my small home town, I stop the driver before the amount goes over what I can afford with the money I stole before I left. After I paid, I grabbed my backpack and looked around at the big city. The driver goes off and now I know there is no turning back. I'm a runaway 14 year old in a big city.

I need to find a place to stay. Hopefully there is a somewhat safe alley with not so much trash that I can stay or some abandoned building. I take a deep breath and look up. I quickly notice an open window. I look around and make sure no one is watching me. I climb up the building and cautiously look in the window. I see a curly haired boy sitting there looking at a picture of two girls. My curiosity gets the better of me as I slowly go to the window behind him to have a closer look.

The girls are beautiful. A blonde and a brunette hugging with huge smiles. I accidentally knock a flower pot down and the boy turns around quickly. He spots me and as I try sprinting away to get to the way down but he catches my foot.

"Hey! Let me go!" I yell as he drags me into the room. Once I'm inside I give up. My first day in New York and I'm already going to be taken in. I thought I was going to last longer than this. He stares at me and studies me. The more he just stands there the more I get confused. "Aren't you going to call the police on me or something?"

He laughs a bit and finally says something. "I'm Auggie." He says holding his hand out. This boy is confusing. He sees my confusion and says, "Now you introduce yourself."

"I'm Alex...." I say slowly shaking his hand. This boy is suspicious.

"Nice to meet you Alex! What brought you here?"

I think for a second trying to think of something. "Um, I saw your open window and got curious." I finish with a quick and awkward closed smile.

"Where do you live?"

"Nowhere and everywhere I guess..."  He thinks for a second then grabs the photo he had been looking at.

"I saw you where looking at the photo before I caught you. Do you know them?" He asks pointing at it and showing me.

"No, sorry. I just got curious and wanted to see who you were looking at." He looks a bit disappointed but then he starts to point at them.

"This one is my big sister Riley, she is like if sunshine and rainbows where a person. The shorter girl here is her best friend, Maya." I look closer at them and I see how pretty they are. I blush a bit at the thought but quickly hide it before he sees it. "Maya is basically the opposite of Riley but they still adore each other." He smiles as he looks up at me.

"So... Where are they?" I ask.

"College. I miss them a lot so I go in here and sit in the bay window and see if it's magic will one day work for me." He gives me a big smile, "and it did!" 

I look at him dead in the eye to see if he is messing with me. "What do you mean 'work its magic'." He smiles brighter at me as he gets up.

"Let me tell you the story....!" He puts the photo down on the dresser before doing a spin. I could tell that he really liked the story. "Before I was even born, my sister sat there at the bay window singing with her window right open. This attracted a little blond girl named Maya. Maya went to the window and came inside. She got close to her.....

Flashback

"Sup!" Maya said sitting down next to Riley.

"Are you a stranger?" Riley asked.

"Yep!" Maya replied.

"Are you a stranger coming through my window?"

"Yeah." 

"Then-" Riley takes a deep breathe in about to let out a scream when Maya covered her mouth.

"I'm running away from home... I saw your curtains and your pillows. I heard you singing... I like singing better than yelling... Please don't yell." Maya explains.

"Who's yelling?"

"My mummy and daddy..." Maya says with a bit of pain in her voice.

"Why?"

"Cause they always are..." Maya looks around, "What do you do here?"

"I sit here and I hope."

"For what?"

"For someone to come in and sit with me. Are you her?" Riley asks.

"What's your name?"  Maya responds.

"I'm Riley." Riley says with a smile.

"Hi Riley, I'm Maya Penelope Hart."

"Hi Maya! Are we friends forever?"

"Whatever you want."

"I wanna call you Peaches!" Riley says with pure joy. The two girls stare at each other  with smiles on their faces.
