"Just like you said"
Angela's pov:
I woke up to my mom knocking on my door and saying "Angela breakfast is ready wake up" I slowly start to wake up but it's slow and groggy. I finally find the energy to get up from my bed. I walk out of my room and into the bathroom to brush my hair and teeth. Once i'm done I walk out of the bathroom and into the kitchen were I find my mom taking waffles out of the toaster and putting them on a plate for me.
When i finally reach her she hands me the plate and a fork saying "here you go" "Thanks mom". I go and sit at the table sitting in a criss cross position and grab the syrup. After breakfast is done I head back to my room grabbing a new book my mom bought for me before we moved. I never really got the time to read it.
After a couple minutes of reading, mom knocks on my door walking in and saying "hey Angela i'm leaving soon and taking your brother with me again" "okay see you later mom". And right before my mom leaves she says "Remember the keys are on the counter with 25 bucks and the most important thing is be a-" "be at the house before I am, I will I promise".
She kisses me on the head and walked out to the hallway and yelled "JACKSON IF YOU ARE NOT OUT HERE IN THE NEXT TEN SECONDS I WILL-". Jack ran out of his room saying "he..here I am" in between pants. He ran out to the car but not before sticking his tongue out at me.
Right after my mom leaves with my brother I rush into my room grabbing my backpack from under my bed. I head over to my closet and grab a brown sweater and some acid washed pants. I take a quick shower and after, I put on my clothes and just leaving my hair in an afro.
After i head back to my room and put on my socks and shoes. After that I grab my backpack and go to my dresser to look for some gum. To my surprise i find an old photo of me and my dad. It was from my 10th birthday and we had went to a water park. I end up looking at it for a few seconds before I toss it back in the drawer.
After I head to the kitchen and grab the cat food from one of the cupboards and refill Lila's bowl . I walk back into the kitchen and look at the clock it reads 11:54. My mom will be home at around 9, I then grab a pen and write "8:05" on my wrist. And right before I leave I grab a jacket just in case.
I grab the money and keys on the counter and rush outside locking the door and getting on my bike. I pedal all the way back to Robin......wait I meant to say the video rental store not robin.
When I finally get there I take a couple of minutes to lock up my bike and take a couple of deep breaths and to also wipe the sweat of my hands that seem to come out of nowhere it really made no sense. But then I remember I actually am in public so I can't really just stand here and do basically nothing anymore.
When I finally am inside I can feel a smile form on my face from just seeing Robin. I really don't know why that really hasn't happened with anyone but who really cares. I then take one more deep breath before finally walking up to her.
When I finally get up to her I somehow manage to say "Hey Robin" "oh hey Angela.... How are you?" I answer with "ugh pretty good nothing much has happened but I'm really glad to be here with you". After a second of thinking about what I just said I immediately start to back track "oh ug ugh i-i- I didn't mean it like that n-n-not saying I'm not glad I'm here with you because I am it's just that I... Ugh".
I then put my head in my hands trying really hard not to be awkward but then I feel Robin rubbing my shoulder saying "hey it's okay I'm glad to be here with you too.... I mean I was going to be here anyways just glad you came back just like you said"
When I finally pick my head up from my hands I felt a lot of comfort from the way Robin is doing that really nice half-smile, smile. She then eventually moves her hand from my shoulder to my four arm rubbing her thumb up and down a couple times and then eventually taking it away.
I never really noticed how cold my upper arm felt until she moved her hand from it. After a couple of seconds of silence Robin says "hey you remember those movies you were going to rent yesterday but didn't because you had to leave ...well I kinda already paid for them when I came in for my shift"
I then say "Robin you really didn't have to I was going to pay for them-" and before I can continue what I'm saying she hands over the movies in a plastic bag. She then says "don't worry about it" with a smile and just...... OH MY GOD I have never thought you could see sunshine in someone's mouth it's just her smile was just so damn contagious.
I didn't even know I was smiling until Robin said "nice smile" "oh um thank you ....you too". I then put the bag in my backpack and out of nowhere start to feel my cheeks become a little hot I think it was from all the embarrassment but I try to play it off like it's not happening. Robin then says " hey um I get off in a little bit if you want to hang out some more I have nothing to do".
I think about it for a little bit and look for a clock it is 12:57 I then look back robin and say "yeah me too I have nothing to do and that sounds really nice just meet me outside when you are ready". I then shot her finger guns before walking out of the store.
