“So, uh, wanna do this again? I mean, introducing ourselves? Not like the one before cuz I was in a rush there on Monday.”
“Oh, well ok, I was distracted by Rebecca trying to climb the tree so I can see your point.” he cleared his throat “Hi, I’m Clyde Walker, I go to the same school, and share the same science class with you. My birthday is in the summer. I like chemistry, video games, and swimming. What’s your name?”
I also cleared my throat
“Whoa, your native language is Spanish?. You speak so well in English I thought you spoke english since you were little.”
“Estás sorprendido por eso? You’re surprised by that?” I said. He was in awe of how fluent I speak in two languages. I can’t help but chuckle at that.
“So what now?” he asks.
“We have the whole 3 days of fun for us. The skies are the limit for us RiverStone kids.” I replied.
“Hmm, those kids at the daycare you mentioned, maybe me and my sister can meet them?”
“Oh sure, where is your hermana by the way?
…
“Hermana means sister.”
“Oh, she’s out shopping with my mom at the moment. But when they’re home I’ll tell you as soon as possible.”
“Sure thing, I just hope they’re prepared for your sister’s energetic behavior.”
“Heh, me too Leo” I got up and brushed the snow off my pants. Clyde looked at the footprint trail, went up to it and quickly took a picture of it. Although I didn’t think he’s crazy, cuz I felt that happened to me today, I think there’s someone, or something happening in town. And if what happened to me are connected to those rumors, then RiverStone is in for a treat. I picked up my sled and the both of us parted ways.
