"Astrid, I've got something to say..." my life has been building up to this moment for years, I can't believe it's finally come.
It all started one fateful summer afternoon, the air was hot, but the wind was cool.
I was sitting on a wall that surrounds our house, the tree next to the wall named oakie (it's an oak tree) shaded me from the harsh rays of the sun, and my mom gave me a plate of cookies to munch on, it was a picture perfect day.
I was listening to the song of the birds residing in oakie when all of a sudden, 2 girls walked out of the house just a couple of lots away from mine, one was tall, around my height, she looks very pretty, so let's call her, "the pretty one", the other girl that is ealking beside her was a bit shorter, and she is as cute as a kitten, let's call her, "the cute one".
They were both very beautiful, but for some reason, I found myself staring at the pretty one, it was as if she was the only one I can see, her smooth black hair was braided in an intricate design, her face was as smooth as porceline, and her radiant smile seemed like it could melt the hearts of any man that dares look at it.
I peeked a bit to the right, enough to notice the features of her sister, at least I think she's her sister, they look so similar.
The cute one had her hair tied back, flowing in the wind like a flag on the beach, and her eyes, oh her eyes, her eyes are so damn appealing! It's as if she can ask peer into your soul and compel you to give her what she wants, it just makes her look so damn cute!
Before long, the pretty one caught my stare, then gave me a huge smile, and in my panic, I looked away pretending not to notice, at first I was scared to look back, but I gave in to curiosity, I just HAD to see her again, but when I looked back, they were not walking anymore, instead they were standing at the gate of a house directly in front of the one they vacated, the pretty one grabbed what apears to be a bell and shook it around, while the cute one was calling out, "Shote!"
After several seconds of continuous ringing and shouting, a boy wearing a white sleeveless shirt, and long brown shorts, went out of the house.
After greeting them in what appears to be a warm manner, he hurried over to the gate and opened it for his friends, but instead of letting them in, he went out.
When he steped out, I was able to make out his features even more, has black messy hair, and cheeks so pudgy it was cute, when he was outside, I noticed that he was the shortest of the three (OFC this is common in childhood)
the trio suddenly burtsed into laughter, and looked in my direction, at first I thought they were laughing at something behind me, but then I noticed that their eyes were directly meeting with mine, so I broke away from the connection, but I can't seem escape the feeling that they were still looking, "no, you're just scared, don't be a fool, it's just your imagination, I said to myself, but soon I felt even more tense, I actually heard foot falls going my direction, "no no no, get a hold of yourself" after shaking my head, I decided to take a peak, and sure enough, they were running towards me
I nearly fell of the wall in surprise, but when I was about to fall over, I felt a had grab my arm, strangely enough, it was able to hold the fat ass known as me.
I felt a strong tug, and they were able to pull me back up, when I looked at the fellow who helped me, it was Shote, he was holding my arm while Astrid and Frances were holding onto his waist, it took three people to hold me up!
Astrid has had enough, so she screamed, "Shote, Frances, that's enough, our new friend here might get the wrong idea" what? Friend? I don't even know these people, but without giving me a chance to reply, they introduced themselves, "hi, my name is Frances" said the shorter girl, "and just call this one shote" pointing at the boy.
"Hahaha, ok then Frances is it?" She nodded, pointing at the tall girl, I asked, "and you are Shote? And I'm pretty sure that girl is Astrid" Astrid ans Shote nodded then laughed, "what are you stupid? We just introduced ourselves and you are already asking for our names" this was the last thing Frances said before bursting into laughter.
I got frustrated because they were making fun of me, so I shoved a cookie in each of their mouths, and luckily enough, it shut them up, "you guys are a funny bunch" I then gave them a huge smile and said, "my name is Lyle"
