Soul Mates by Jaritza Caba

Braking up with your first boyfriend because he is an untrustworthy, abusive, cheating whore makes a girl really never want to talk to a guy again. But girls will be girl’s   hopeless romantics searching for true love like in movies. Sadly I’m one of those girls I have had been single for two years and no matter how many guys I talked to, how cute and flirty they were, it just never felt right. I know I’m only 16 and I have the rest of my life to find someone but mi. feeling so hopeless lately. It was around July and my sister had invited me to go to Pennsylvania for her birthday, I spoke to   My father he agreed to pick me up two days ago of Corse he would do this and of Corse I would be upset and disappointed and empty out my suit case and just laid in bed waiting for my life to change before my eyes, he called latter that night and said he’ll pick me up the 7^th for sure.

I decided to wait till last minute to pack, it was a long rainy ride but I was just happy that I would be leaving it all behind that sad love life I hopelessly longed for, I got there latter that night and fixed up the room they had made for me in the attic it was quite nice with a nice king size bed with fluffy pink pillows perfectly laid uniformly against the bed and each other, I feel back wards on to the bed as my body slowly seem to form against the bed , felt like i was laying on clouds and I felt safe as I wrapped myself around the comfy blanket. I decided to text one of my closest friends she was also at her dads that summer, I was telling her that this summer was going to be my summer that I was going to have one of those summer romance like in the movie grease she just laughed at my ridiculous desires and we talked about foolishness for the rest of the night. I didn’t have much planed for the following day but I was sure excited to not be stuck at home, I decide to go with my brother to fix his car it was a hot day and the sun was hotter than usual. I had dressed in my turquoise shorts and a flour crop top, with my sandals and my hair in a nice big bun, I guessed I looked pretty good because I had a lot of eyes on me that day, latter that night I decided to work in one of my dad’s store and some tall tone caramel skin color guy with dark brown eyes that had a little star like shine in them, with a 90s hair style walked in with sweats and a duffle bag, he come behind the contour, in my head I was asking myself who is this? He looked at me like I wasn’t really there   and started having a conversation with “my dad”, I was kind shocked I mean I’m pretty sure I looked pretty that day and he didn’t even stare??? Someone came in the store and I was bagging up there stuff and when I looked to my right there his was standing there like the most beautiful godlike creature i ever laid eyes on and our eyes locked, at that moment something told me I had to get to know this kid. The next day I’m I asked my brother who this god was and that I thought he was cute. My brother made fun of me, good thing I didn’t tell him how I really viewed him but by the look on his face I knew he was up to no good.  My brother told me about going on a road trip to another town and that there was amazing view at a lake with ducks swimming and little boats. I’m a huge sucker for nature and exploring, I woke up at 7 that morning got ready and put my hair in a bun, I decided to take my book with me the one I was suppose to be reading for AP English I figured that the ride will be long and I would get some more reading done but nope as soon as I got in the car there he was the beautiful caramel colored god that wanted nothing to do with me. I tell you there’s nothing worse than liking someone that doesn’t like you back but its even worse when you have to stick your nose in a book because that person doesn’t even have a conversation with you.

                My brother, my dear brother that is usually over protective left me alone with this guy this stranger that had absolutely no interest in me. The surroundings were absolutely breath taking I mean it was defiantly taken from a romance movie.  I was beginning to get a little frustrated I mean what isn’t there to like?   I’m smart, I read, I’m cute. He must be playing for the other team he surely dressed like it with his burgundy shorts and toms and tight striped shirt that showed of his tone healthy body. Sigh, I continue reading. But as I kept reading my mind had made a decision to ignore godlike man, but my brother was determined to do the opposite he invited him to the movie with us that night and purposely made me sit next to him, I was bummed but I really wanted to see this movie so I sucked it up, he kept talking and I responded with just watch the movie and my hands were at my sides and I felt this tension between us, before I knew it we were holding hands an as soon as my flesh touched his I felt fireworks and a huge heat wave pass through me so I just let go I swear I wanted a summer romance so bad my mind was making things up but no , it wasn’t it was real , I mean all this kid did was held  my hand and I was going crazy, we went to eat after the movies it was 1 in the morning and  he took a picture of me on my phone so I noticed that I had made him sent me a  picture earlier since my brother didn’t want to give me his number and he didn’t ask for mine I texted “ you think you’re low” and the text messages started and before I knew it   my summer romance began , with my soul Mate.
