1126 Words
It all started when I was 18 ...
6:22 am, the alarm went off bothering me with an irritating noise, I got up from the bed, took a shower, put on my school uniform, got my hair done and when I finished getting ready I grabbed my backpack and went down the stairs towards the kitchen.
Luiza: Good morning!
Isabella: Good morning Aunt Luh(she wasn't really my aunt, just a very dear employee who has taken care of me since I was a child, and I consider her a lot. More than that) Aunt you can stay home today and rest
Luiza: Are you sure? _ She looked at me uncertainly and suspiciously
Isabella: Yes, I'm sure, and don't worry, I'll manage on my own, I'm already pretty big and you deserve a rest
Luiza: Okay, but if you need anything, just call me, okay?
Isabella: Okay, I'll call. I'm going be late. I walked away holding an apple, picking up the backpack and with a goodbye and a kiss on the forehead
As soon as I arrived at school, I joined my best friends Paula and Rafaela, we studied together since elementary school, the two of them were like sisters to me, as soon as I saw them I immediately invited them to sleep over, my parents were on a trip ,and as I am only daughter I always stayed alone. I got home in the afternoon, had my lunch and watched TV, minutes later I went up to my room, checked on my social media, read some chapters of a book I bought last week and then I ended up falling asleep.
Usually my days were limited to a few chores, like going to school, going out once in a while with friends or staying home watching Netflix, it made me realize that I miss having siblings , I wonder how would it feel, but Anyway, it's just me, and thank God I have wonderful girlfriends and an incredible friend named Lucas.
I woke up three hours later, took my guitar and went down the stairs, sat on a big pillow on the balcony, trying to learn another international song, minutes later the phone rings.
Call On:

Isabella: Hi mom
Marcele: Is everything okay over there?
Isabella: yes mom
Marcele: Okay, we'll be back the day after tomorrow when your father and I settle some issues here. Take care of yourself, huh?

Isabella: Okay, where does she live?
Lorenzo: No, you don't have to go anywhere , I already spoke with her and she told me that she will be there in a little while. Her name is Luana.
Isabella: Right
Lorenzo: Thank you, are you all right around there?
Isabella: speaking like that, it seems like I set the house on fire when my parents left, I smiled. I called the girls to sleep over and keep me company, I ended up the call
Lorenzo: Great, good that you won't sleep alone. Take care, we'll be back soon my sweet daughter, love you.
Isabella: love you too, kisses. See you
Call Off.
I put my cell phone to charge, grabbed a towel and went to take a shower. As soon as I finished, I put on a little tight drooping shoulder dress, dried my hair, put a light lipstick and went down to the kitchen.
I glanced at my watch, it was already 4: 53pm.i was starving, I made a sandwich, I got a can of soda from the fridge and I went to the living room, then I
turned on the TV and I ate my snack over there watching a silly cartoon. After a few minutes I heard the doorbell ring, I got up from the couch and headed to t
the door.
-Good afternoon said a blond young man with beautiful green eyes as I opened the door.
-Good afternoon, I replied
"Does Lorenzo Fercondine live here?" He asked, looking a little unsure.
Isabella: Yes, I am his daughter, but at the moment he is not at home.
My Pleasure, my name is Nicolas he said introducing himself
I'm Isabella I introduced myself ,with a smile he kissed my hand, making me uncomfortable.
Nicolas: I'm Luana's son, your father's coworker, he asked me to come and pick up some documents here.
Isabella: oh yes, come in I said giving him some space
Make yourself at home ,I'll get the documents right away, I went towards my father's office.
As soon as I found the green folder with the documents, I took a quick step in the bathroom in front of the office, I looked in the mirror to see if I looked
decent and went back to the living room.
Isabella: Here you are, I said, giving him the green folder with the documents.
Nicolas: Thank you he received it, and then a moment of silence broke through
You have beautiful brown eyes , he said looking at me right at them.
Isabella: thank you I smiled timidly
And You have beautiful green eyes as well
Nicolas: thanks he answered staring at me, I confess that he made me embarrassed with those green eyes over mine.
Yeah ... so I think I'll be going ,see you later he said while getting up from the sofa.
Isabella: Yeah ...see you I said ,a silly smile escaped from my lips
Nicolas: Bye he smirked and got in the car.
I closed the door, took a few steps back but the doorbell rang again, I thought that the greenish eyed boy had forgotten something.
Lucas: Hello (kitten)* smiling accompanied by Paula and Rafaela, there were my best friends who came to keep me company
Isabella: Hello kitten*, please come in ,they arrived early
We talked for a while about school issues, we ordered a pizza for dinner, watched a movie together, and after a couple of hours , Lucas left. The girls and I went to the room, we were supposed to sleep ,instead we spent most of the night talking, dancing to our favorite songs and eating chocolate.
