Learn to fight

First period went by pretty quickly and as I made my way to the cafeteria people walked in every direction, a sea of wondering souls, sure that at this moment it may seam like there is nothing to worry about but we often forget that we’ll not be young forever, we’ll have to grow up eventually, so unfair…

Lessa?!

I saw Zacky wave his hand in front of my face and laughed lightly

What are you doing? – I asked while laughing still

I’ve been calling you for almost a minute now

Oh sorry I just zone out I guess – I said remembering the rambling in my head

What were you thinking? – He asked interested

Just about how unfair it is to grow up

It actually is - He said laughing to himself

After a short pause he looked at me with a grin

What? – I asked with scepticism

Come sit with me I want you to meet the guys – He said biting his bottom lip as if he was nervous

Okay, but why you look so nervous? - I asked with a slight laugh

It’s just that I was thinking of a second way to get you to say yes in case you said no because I know how closed you get when meeting new people – he said still thinking it

And what did you come up with? – I asked suppressing a laugh

Begging – he said shrugging

I laughed loudly while shaking my head and following him to a table with four guys I hadn’t noticed before.

Maybe because you’re always looking to the floor

Shut up, it’s also the reason for way I never fall

Lessa, these are the guys, guys this is Alessa – Zacky said pulling me out of my internal battle.

Hi, is nice to meet you all – I said with a wave

Hi I’m Matt

I’m Brian

I’m Jimmy

I’m Johnny

They all said while waving a little just so I knew to whom each name belonged

So tell us about yourself - the guy I now knew as Matt said while taking a bite of his lunch

Well my name is Alessa Gabrielle Mackenzie; I’m 17 years old…
