Felix
Do u wanna get breakfast?
Yeah, I'll meet u in ten.
Ok
I get dressed as fast as possible and wave bye to my dad.
I run to the little bakery Felix and I have always gone to since we were kids.
"Hey, I missed you," Felix says.
I couldn't help but smile. I quickly change the topic. "What should we get?"
"Milk bubble tea, per usual." He says like it's obvious, because that's what we always get.
I can feel myself blush. I try to save myself by saying, "Yeah of course, I just wanted something to eat this time."
"Oh we could share something then. What do you want?"
Oh my god we always share food but why does it feel different this time?
"Let's get the brownie."
We get a big brownie and the two bubble teas. We sit down at a table facing the street. The bakery is covered in plants with dim lights with the windows are producing most of the light.
We used two forks and started eating the brownie. Why am I so nervous right now?
"Did you sleep well?" Felix asked.
"Yeah, I did." Felix nodded. Why is everything so awkward?
"This could never beat my brownies," Felix says.
"Never," I agree. We make eye contact and laugh.
We make small talk and when we finish he walks me home. Before we get to my house we see a moving truck.
I see a couple around my dads age like he said. But I also see a boy around my age walk around the big truck.
Felix and I look at each other. "Should we say hi?" Felix proposes.
"Sure, but you do the talking."
"Don't worry I got you."
He takes my hand. Oh my gosh he's holding my hand right now. He never really holds my hand.
When I enter into reality we are in front of the boy. He's got a big smile on his face.
"Hi, I'm Felix and this is Iris," I wave and smile.
He waves back, "Hi, I'm Jeongin. As you can tell I just moved here."
"I guess we're neighbors now then," I say suddenly more comfortable.
"Oh really! Cool! How old are you then?"
"We're 17."
"I'm 17 too!"
"I hope we can be friends."
"Definitely. We should hang out sometime. I have to finish unpacking but I'll see you later." Jeongin waved as he walked in the house carrying a box.
"He seems cool," Felix says.
I quickly let go of his hand.
