Nice To Meet You

Ah yes.....I think it started with a new student. Then after......

Freya's POV

I was looking at the girl who's sitting a few feet away from me. She was being surrounded by a few students.

"Hey what's your name?"

"Where do you live?"

"What are you doing?"

"She's a new student." I jerked my head up at the sudden voice I heard. "She arrived earlier."

"Oh. Rain. It's you." I smiled at him.

He stared at me for two seconds then looked away. "Okay. Just me. It's just me." Then he slowly walked away.

Realising what he was doing, I grabbed his arm, "Hey! I'm happy to see you! Don't misunderstand!" I giggled at his obvious joke.

He smiled. "I was only joking."

After discussing what to do with the new student, we decided to talk to her. And we did.

"Hi. What's your name?" I asked. She was sketching and drawing, so I looked at that and not her face.

She froze, as if thinking what to answer. "I'm FJ." Then she continued what she was doing earlier.

We asked more questions. And before I knew it, we were hanging out already.

"Hey Freya."

"Hmm? Yes?" FJ and I were walking together to go to the gates to go home for lunch.

"Well, my mom told me to ask you if you don't mind having lunch with us."

I was panicking but kept my composure. "Uhh sure. But I have to tell my parents first. They're expecting me to eat lunch at home today." I hope she doesn't suspect that I don't want to visit because I'm shy.

"Okay. See you this afternoon?"

"See you this afternoon." She ran ahead of me while waving her hand. I smiled and waved back. After she was gone, my smile fell. I just stood there, thinking.

What should I do?

I walked home. I stopped at the front gate and looked at the house we rented. It was nothing special. It was made of wood outside, very old, and can easily break. But it's home. Besides, the insides are cement and marble. At least those won't easily break.

I sighed. I bet they're rich. I mean, their house is just a few blocks across the school. Even if that house belonged to her aunt. But still! I hope she doesn't discriminate me for being poor. I really want to be her friend forever.

I entered our home. "I'm home!"

"Oh! You're here? Change your clothes and then we can eat. How was school?" I just replied that it was fine. Then my mother talked about anything she can think of.

She's really talkative.

"Oh! Baby! You're here!" That's my father. He still calls me a baby even though I'm already big enough not to be called that. Not that I'm complaining or anything.

We talked during lunch. I was sweating bullets. I was nervous.

"Mom." They both looked at me. Okay. I'm questioning my life choices right now. "Can I go to FJ's house for lunch sometime? Her mother told her to ask—"

"Oh sure! I don't mind! You can go!" My father only nodded in approval. "She's a nice girl I bet. I mean, I've met her mother and she was so kind to me. And now we're close."

She talked about how they met and I was listening but my mind was trying to process what she said. That was easier than I thought. But since when did our mother got close?

I was blessed with a happy family. And with good friends. But little did I know that things were slowly changing. It started with a simple RP.........
