The mist of love

I tried to carry the suitcases down into the living room, but it seemed that my strength was not much higher than that of a fly. But I was glad that it was the last move for a long time and I didn't have to worry again that I would break my back pulling my luggage.1

-The plane leaves in an hour, darling. Hurry up ! my mother shouted loudly

-Immediate! If only I could move this ... just keep going for me when I nervously push the bag and then fall down the stairs with the other 5. Oops! I did it again. I descend quickly, managing to avoid even slipping, and I lifted them, positioning them closer to the door. The joy was even greater when Arthur came in smiling and took them to the car, sparing me no extra effort. And leaving all the joke aside, I will miss Arthur, who has been an exceptional driver since I was 5 years old. He was my confidant, almost the only friend who had been with me every time we changed the city or even the state. With two parents always busy, you couldn't expect too much. But I always tried to adjust.4

I left the house with little tears on my cheeks, I really didn't want to leave here. Canada had been the only place I really got used to staying, and now that I'm exchanging this quiet state with the crowded New York, I don't like it at all. The only relief was that I was promised that I would finish college there and maybe it would be a permanent move. Something that saves me from the little inconveniences. Now I'm going to have to start all over again. Luckily, once the classes started, I had a better opportunity to meet new people without too much effort.2

And now I'm in the car on the way to the airport. I don't know what scared me the most, the fact that I'm moving again even though you think I'm used to it or that I'm easily overwhelmed by a fear of the unknown. One of the many things I don't like is this one. The fear of not knowing what awaits you tomorrow, whether or not you will be happy when you wake up in the morning or if you could finally get used to something totally new, which may not do you any good.4

"I will miss you, Arthur," I whispered as my big arms pulled me into a warm embrace.

-Will be fine. Maybe I'll arrange the transfer and come to you in New York soon, he said, looking at me under his long black eyelashes.

My old Arthur was like an uncle to me, always there when I needed him, and now that he was alone here he brought me an unpleasant feeling of emptiness in my stomach.

I waved my hand trying to hold back my tears and embarked, carefully searching for my place for the next 7 hours. I sighed and sat down by the window waiting for takeoff. I turned my gaze to mine and smiled when I saw them stealing a small kiss. They were always very close, and the years that passed over them left no trace, not even a wrinkle on my mother's serene face or a white thread in my father's soft and shiny hair. They looked like a couple of teenagers just going on their honeymoon. Unlike me, they were very excited about the new change. They didn't seem to mind handcuffs at all. And if they could, why couldn't I?

was startled when the pilot's thick voice announced the landing. I put on my seatbelt trembling and breathing heavily. I think it was because of my emotions and lack of sleep, because my stomach had long since turned into a nervous storm. I tried to get up and felt my whole body fall apart at the first step. I was numb, and the feeling of nausea made my situation much more difficult. I closed my eyes for a moment and took a deep breath when I came in contact with the first image of the freshly wet runway. The cold, sharp air irritates my nose whenever I inhale and exhale. Due to the rain, the harsh air that floated through the atmosphere is also explained. Another plus that fuels the anxious state I had.2

For a moment I blinked confused looking for my parents and saw them waving at me next to a black car. Most likely the one sent by my grandfather. I stepped up uneasily and smiled at them uncomfortably before slipping into the sweltering heat of the car.

-Where are we going? I ask, analyzing the city carefully.

-At home, my father's jovial answer came.

-More exactly?

-It is a neighborhood located in a very good area of ​​the city, not far from the center. You will like it, and the neighbors are very nice, he clarified, looking at me in the rearview mirror.4

-I don't even want to know, I murmur in the soup, as if I want to be swallowed by the chair and never get there again.

After almost an hour of walking through the infernal traffic, I entered the so-called neighborhood. Better a poor horse than no horse at all. These were not houses like any other. They were real "blocks" that were more beautiful and more brilliant. Very voluminous, the whole place being deeply buried in opulence. With huge gardens covered by a thin layer of lawn, beautiful and well-kept, alleys sewn with red rose bushes and small artesian fountains that complete the elegance of all homes. At first glance it was a quiet neighborhood considering the late hour, but it remains to be seen.1

We stopped in front of a house on the first floor, the alley paved with white marble, sometimes glistening and the everlasting rose bushes. Mother's favorite flowers. The gazebo on the right housed a swing of up to 3 people, and the terrace was even more spacious.

I went down shyly still analyzing the place where I was going to spend my time from now on and I was still surprised by its immensity.

-You? said my mother, frowning at me.

-Now, I answer blinking and stepping into the house. The place was already furnished and why shouldn't I be surprised. The interior is even bigger than you might think at first glance.

-We're going upstairs. Let's see your room. Then tomorrow we will unpack everything, my father announced, urging me to follow them.1

I grabbed my small bag and hurried up the stairs. The door to my room was open and for the first time since I came I could smile quietly. The room was exactly to my taste. The large bed covered with cream bedding and high chair near the left wall accompanied by two small bedside tables and a bloody color. The dressing room also looks very spacious, the color of the walls being the perfect accessory. They were covered in a lighter white dirt. The most striking thing was the wall separating the bathroom. It was entirely made of glass and hid a huge bathroom which, after a closer scan, seemed to have too many objects and other things necessary for hygiene.1

Although I was not a desperate person for comfort, that was more than enough. Having the good fortune to always benefit from excellent living conditions, I can't complain and I don't have the necessary right to comment.1

Without wasting any time, I took a quick shower and then went to bed. It wasn't long before I slowly fell asleep. It was unexpected for me to fall asleep so quickly, not being used to the camera, but considering the tiring activity during the day, I thought this was quite natural.

-You'll start classes in two days, right? said my father, waking me up. I yawned endlessly, and then I left the magazine next to the bowl of cereal.

-Yes. I will go tomorrow to find out more details and that's how I get used to the road, I say resuming my boring activity later. My mother had to go to the office in the morning and I was really wondering how long it would take until they both disappeared. I'll be more alone than with them, and now I'm really going to miss Arthur.

Later I took care of unpacking the things that I carefully placed around the house. For example, my mother's vase or my father's stack of books. They were murderous for each of them, and I never understood their purpose. They always carry them after them, claiming that they have sentimental value. I was often amused by them when they panicked and couldn't find them. Although they were both calculated and orderly people, there was not a time without even one of them losing anything. George and Rose Evans were undoubtedly the perfect couple and no doubt two loving parents.

After a tiring round of arranging various things, I sat down in front of the TV trying to get rid of boredom. Just as I changed the program I heard the door of a car slamming loudly and loud voices echoing. Two guys were trying hard to keep another who was swearing at dawn. It could be seen from a post that the boy who was committing such a scandal was drunk to bet that he did not even know his name. Strange to be drunk like this at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.3

-Fuck, Max! the voice of the guy carrying his arms to the door of the house was heard harshly. All three entered, and then there was silence. If by "good neighbors" my parents understand this I move happily back. And on top of that, only one street separates me from him.8

I squinted unhappily and sat down on the couch again. I heard in a flash the car leaving the trumpet only at around 9:30 p.m. I think his friends had a hard time staying that way. I am not surprised given the cruel state of drunkenness of the young man.

I fell asleep quickly, looking to visit the college the next day. I just hope everything goes well and maybe I can meet new people.

As I said the next day, I was very upset. I couldn't find the blouse I wanted, I had to catch my hair carelessly because in no way did it want to sit down, and on top of that it was about to burn the iron shirt. It could only happen to me. I'm only chased by bad luck when I need pure luck.1

Going down quickly and eating something at random I left the house quickly looking for the taxi number. Worried about rummaging through the phone, I didn't notice when yesterday's guy left the house, only when the car's engine was suddenly turned to full speed. The pair of glasses most likely covered his eyelids, and the white T-shirt he wore highlighted his worked body. I couldn't see clearly, but I was sure he had one of his arms tattooed. He was focused on the need and left with an impressive speed. Of course he was driving a car that you only see in the catalogs with extra expensive cars meant to take your breath away. It was clearly an arrogant pampering.4

After the taxi arrived, it took me unexpectedly fast, I got off still reading the information brochure. I looked for the secretary's office and after I finalized the last details I came out smiling. At least that would have gone well if it had been a disaster this morning. I was on my way out when I accidentally bumped into someone.

-Oh, my God! Forgive me, I wasn't paying attention at all, said the girl, gathering her books from the floor.3

-Nothing. I didn't see you either, I add, smiling politely

-I'm Jade. Delighted !

-Kate, I said holding out my hand. Also. So you're in your first year? we continued after we both walked in the yard.

-Not. I'm in my second year. But I have a girlfriend, Sara, who's starting this year.

-I was just hoping to meet at least one person, I told her thinking she looked like a really pretty girl. Slightly blond hair, white face and two gorgeous green eyes. He was the same height as me, and the voluptuous shapes gave him a plus.

-What about a coffee? "I'm done here anyway," she said cheerfully, taking me by the arm. I know a cafe nearby.

-With pleasure.

We entered the cafe laughing and sat down at the free table next to the glass wall. Jade was really funny. The crazy girl who likes to relax the atmosphere. She was very different from the pacifist and calm from me, but she could easily make up for my shortcomings.2

-Now tell me about yourself. I talked all the time, she encouraged me by sipping milk coffee and smiling under her mustache.

I just moved out of Canada. My parents travel a lot on business. But now it's something permanent. So I'm very happy, Although I can't get used to the agitation at all, I told him gesturing and playing with the cup in my palms.

-I feel we'll get along. And you haven't met them all yet, she murmured excitedly, looking at me intently and smiling.1

-All?

-Ohh, sure. We're a whole gang.

-I don't think that ... I mean I don't like to intervene, Plus we just met, I clarified it, avoiding the agitation.

-But it's enough time. I'm just saying it would be nice to meet them. That's how you get used to it faster.

-May be. Although I'm not the type to focus. I prefer to stay on the sidelines, I add shyly trying to politely refuse the offer.

"Dear for a world like this and with a city like New York, it's impossible to do that," she said confidently, still looking at me confidently. Now let's go, it's getting late.

I paid the bill, and then I got in the taxi. Jade hummed quietly as I watched the city. It was amazing how many people can be in a city that you would say is not a big deal. Slowly I got rid of the crowds and entered the neighborhood. I was wondering where Jade lived because she was quiet and didn't show signs of stopping somewhere.

-Here ! I said both of them when I got to my house. We looked confused and slightly amused and went down giggling.

"I'm sitting here," I said, pointing to the house, and she just stared in amazement.

-Seriously? I sit there too, he replied, pointing to the house next to him.

-Now your wish will come true. We will be closer than I thought at first, I said jokingly, shaking my head slightly.

-Don't say that twice. It will be much easier now. Everyone I told you about is our neighbor. Sara is in the other house, and Scott is there. Next to me is Lara and in front of her is Emmett who lives next to Kendra. Then comes Lucy and Ryan. The last ones next to them are Kevin and James, he said everything quickly, showing me exactly each house.7

-I didn't think that half of the neighborhood is inhabited only by you. And it still keeps well, I say smiling, shrugging lightly.

-Ah..it was forgotten. That's where Max lives, he continues to become serious again, measuring the house in front of his eyes.2

-I saw him this morning. He was very grumpy. That was after a car brought him home yesterday. He was drunk, I informed her in my mind, resuming the action I had witnessed indirectly. Eliminating his condition from the equation, I intuit that he is a rather distant and cold young man. Serious and very confident. To be honest, his appearance scared me a bit. Does he live alone? I ask again, staring at her from head to toe.

-He lives alone. His family is extremely busy and as he is already well past the age of 18 he preferred to stay here, she said and I noticed a regret in her tone. Max is a good guy after you meet him. It's just that it's quite difficult and different from the rest of us.

After another small discussion, we said goodbye and decided that tomorrow, as I had only 2 courses, he would introduce me to the rest of his friends. Although I insisted that it was not yet time, it continued until I gave up. Jade could be very convincing when she demanded this. Her personality being complex you could easily find certain things that shock you. For example, when her cousin beat her last Christmas. She blamed him only for inviting her into his room. I wouldn't have believed it given the fragile construction of her body. But under the delicate aspect, there were hours of hard work at the gym. As the boys frequent the hall, they often corrupted them as well. This is due to the closer relationship between her, Scott and Max.3

I fell asleep thinking about tomorrow. I wanted everything to go well and not have problems with them. According to Jade, they were all very nice and funny. But we all had a fear of rejection. That maybe they would remove me not being used to my presence. The truth was very clear. We were different both in character and in the circles in which we revolved.

The morning came surprisingly fast. It was 9:30 when the phone rang. I had received a message from Jade "Come!" What did he mean by that? I sat up and read once more when the door stormed open and revealed a euphoric jade in pajamas but slippers. He rushed at me screaming and knocking me down with a hug.

-Now you too, I said after he calmed down. Is that how you wake up the whole neighborhood?

-It's a special awakening. You're the first ... she mumbled with her face on the pillows.

-How did you get in?

-Mrs. Nina let me go. Your nanny is pretty.1

-It is? I asked confused. Of course it is. Of course, Mrs. Nina ... I still have no idea what she's talking about. That was the culmination. They could very well have disappeared for a month without notifying me and finding out nothing. What a consolation to have such caring parents. I would attack if Jade didn't say and I would wake up with this Mrs. Nina in the kitchen.1

-Now come on. Awakening ! I talked to Sara and she takes us to college. I'm going to change, she announced to me casually.

- No need. I'll take a taxi.

-Sure. I also have a date with Matt Bomer. Kate, ready for the taxi from now on, said with a satisfied smile. I approved of her shyly, and then she hurried out. It was confirmed. Jade is totally crazy. I will end up bad if I don't listen to her, but I'm happy in a special way. I thought that even though we had known each other for a few hours, she would continue to behave as if we had been friends for a lifetime.3

After I got dressed I went down to the kitchen where the so-called Mrs. Nina was preparing breakfast.

"Good morning, Kate," he said, smiling politely.

-Good morning.

-Mrs. Evans left early, and the gentleman hasn't come down yet.

-Okay, I answered simply sitting down at the bar. Nina, right? When and how did you come? continue in a nice way without wanting to make a bad impression.

-Your parents hired me. I'll be here all day and I'll take care of your house and yours in case you need anything, she answers with a calm face, scanning me from head to toe carefully. She seemed kind. He was about 50 years old and that kind of man who helps you with anything no matter what you ask of him.

-I'm glad you're here. I'm sure there will be no problems, especially with me, I kindly informed her at the end of my breakfast.

-Are you home at noon?

-Still do not know. I will let you know. I'm going to college now so I'll probably be late, I say as I fix my blouse. Goodbye, Mrs. Nina!

- Take care, Kate.

I hurried out, and when I looked up I saw Jade talking quite loudly to that guy, Max. She looked quite nervous as he turned his gaze and sighed visibly irritated by the young woman's explosive behavior. When he saw me, he waved his hand to calm me down, and then he stopped in my direction. She seemed to be scanning me carefully and I was already embarrassed. He kept staring at my body, ignoring Jade completely. I gasped as he turned his attention back to the girl in front of him. He put his hands on her shoulders explaining something to her, then kissed her on the forehead and got in the car and left.

-Did something happen? I asked when he came to me sighing.

-Nothing important. "Let's go," he said dejectedly.

The road to college was not at all what I expected. Sara turned out to be Jade's twin. They talked and gestured a lot, and the young woman drove worse than a speed enthusiast. To say I went fast would be a joke. The way she walked around the cars and how I almost turned red made me swear I wouldn't get in the car with her too soon. When I got off I felt the need to lean on the car because everything was going on with me, and what I had eaten in the morning was threatening to come out.

-Are you ok? Sara asked, touching my shoulder.

-Sure. Speed ​​problems, I whispered as I drove away the nausea.

-You'll get used to it. Sara can be even gentler. She has her good days. It was really good today, Jade adds, smiling and walking in front of us.

I finish at 2. You?

"I'm half past two," Jade said, looking intently at a group of young people a few steps from us.

-And me at half past two. Are we meeting here? I ask and look in Jade's direction, narrowing my eyes. Jade?

-Yeah sure. See you here.

Given the profile I chose, namely law, the courses proved to be very busy and the amount of information completely different from what I thought. It was pretty easy, even though I wasn't even halfway through my comprehension. But I was amazed at the lightness of some of the students. While I was taking notes, others were pushing their cell phones hard.

I had almost run out of classes and left the building thoughtfully, almost stumbling when the phone announced a new message. I was called to the cafe. Once there, I saw them giggling and laughing quite loudly. They seemed very caught up in the subject.

-What is the cause of your happiness? I ask, looking at them in surprise.

-Ryan invited Sara to town, Jade replies by turning her around.

-And? Do you accept?

-You're kidding? I like Ryan from the 5th grade. And I was just saying that I was surprised that he was actually taking me out on a date. Ryan is shy and maybe ...

-Then go out with him. Don't wait for other signs. Maybe he's been shy so far, and for fear of going out with someone else, he invites you into town. It's still something, I told them confidently.

-You're brilliant ! You are right. Last week when I was at the club and when that blonde offered me a drink he almost didn't beat him. They looked at each other with hatred, and Ryan immediately took me to the dance. You know what, don't you? he thanked Jade, who kept laughing.

-Jump on him girl! Jade cheered again, snorting again. Now that we were clear, I was thinking of going to my house tonight. We call them all and watch a movie. I don't want to go out today.

-Sounds good. And that's how you know them all.

-Sure, I said half-heartedly. I didn't really know what to expect. Especially since Max is coming too. I don't even know him and I already want to stay away from him. It only inspires distrust in me. And the way his eyes scanned me in the morning made me shudder. I've never been looked at like that, there was something about the way he stared at me. It's as if he imagines what he looks like under his clothes.2

And since time was not on my side, as soon as I got home I didn't even take a shower and the clock reads 20:30. I let my hair fall in waves on my back, I pulled on a simple burgundy T-shirt and shorts. As I came out of the warm and pleasant air, it hit me over the legs, calming me down and thus getting rid of the emptiness in my stomach.

I knocked timidly, and Jade immediately pulled me into the house where Sara was alone. Place the glasses on the small table in the living room.

"The others have to come," he shouted from the kitchen. We were helping Sara put on the pillows when the door suddenly opened and two tall, brunette guys showed up. They laughed and pushed themselves childishly. They stopped when they saw me and now they were smiling kindly at me with a slightly lost facial expression on their face.

"I didn't know we had guests," said one of them.

-They're Kevin and James. Troubled brothers, Sara grinned, introducing him briefly. On closer inspection they were really cute. They both had brown eyes and looked incredibly similar. The only difference was a tattoo on Kevin's forearm. They were really funny, not just rumors. It was easy with both of them if you had food, even though they didn't look like gourmands at all. Their bodies looked sculpted and nothing else. All due to the long hours spent at the gym. It was kind of usual. The whole group went to the gym, which seemed ok to me. It is not in vain that they get along so well. They did a lot of things together. It was obvious that the years of friendship that bound them had left their mark.2

Kate, when did you move? James asked, taking another sip from his glass of juice.

-For 3 days, I answered smiling playing with the pillow next to me.

"You're really pretty," his brother added, glancing at me from head to toe.

-Thank you.

After other moments when I laughed heartily at the expense of my brothers, the door opened again. This time it was like a storm invading the room. They laughed a lot. The 6 of them easily entered the living room greeting each other and throwing me some kind greetings.

-The kids ! Jade shouted excitedly. This is Kate. He just moved into the neighborhood, he continued to introduce me jovially. After a series of handshakes and talking about various topics, we seemed to get along relatively well. The boys 'compliments and the girls' warnings appeared immediately, telling me not to get tired of them because they had nothing on their minds.

-Let Kate find out about us. Lara, you and your big mouth, Emmett shouted, throwing a pillow in his face.

-If he gets to discover you, he'll have nightmares. So leave the girl alone, Emmett replied, laughing and threatening him with her finger.

-Where's Max? Jade asked suddenly with the phone in her hand, glaring at Scott.

-He said he was coming. He just ... he didn't get to say anything because Max came into the house free. He slammed his black leather jacket on the floor and the keys on the table. He didn't say anything like we weren't there.

-I came ! Don't look at me like that anymore, he replied sharply to Jade, and then sat down on the armchair, opening the beer bottle. The others welcomed the atmosphere, now becoming calmer.

"Max, this is Kate," she said, frowning at him again. At the moment he didn't even seem to hear the button on the phone. He closed it and then looked at me. When I made contact with the abysmal blackness of his eyes, I shifted, changing the place that seemed to be stinging me now. He was frowning this time too, and he didn't look like he was going to do that.

-And? Do you want to welcome her? he asked wryly, staring at the girl in front of him with a false confusion.

Jade puffed desperately and started the movie by sitting next to me and Scott. Everyone was captivated by the action of the film and so were I until I don't know why I felt drawn to look at it. Concentrated phone button. Kendra was playing in his hair, which surprised me. At the badaran attitude he displays, I am surprised that someone would support him. Plus, it doesn't look like the right guy for a relationship. Adventures for sure, but a relationship? Something tells me that this Max has never heard of love, and I bet his heart doesn't even exist. Or else it is covered with a very thick layer of ice. That's clear.

As if feeling my gaze on him, he looked up from the phone and stared at me. I couldn't decipher anything on his face. Just a cold, blank look. He snorted, rolling his eyes, and then I immediately turned my attention to the movie. Of course I couldn't pay attention at all. Not even a little captivated by the subject. I was just thinking about the rebellious behavior of the guy on my left.

-What the? Is this the end? Pathetic. He didn't even choose a girl. And with the money taken and without his girlfriend, Kevin complained, sighing in disappointment at the end.

-Bad guys don't always face me, I told him smiling and I immediately saw him looking at me, this time with a naughty smile in the corner of his mouth.

"And usually most of them are prostitutes," Maximilian continued, still looking at me with confidence. He got up and then left, not before greeting the others. See you tomorrow at the gym, that was all he said next.
