A Friend To Talk To
(From Ella's Perspective)
When I arrived, Dad was taking a nap on the couch. I covered him up with a blanket and went back to my room. Leandro was still standing on the road. I felt proud and wanted to say, "That's my boyfriend, that handsome man."
I wrote him a note and threw it at him. And he mouthed, "I love you." This sweet gesture seemed to make my day.
After he left, I closed the curtains and jumped on the bed. I could not believe we finally did it. But I was glad that I tried to act boldly about this one. I did not want to hide my feelings any longer.
Now that I thought about it, he said something about not finding a file. "I even forgot to give you the brown file in which I kept the drawings of the route to the palace for you. Well, you don't need them now since you are staying at your dad's place anyway. But I can't find my other brown file as well," he had said.
"What's in it?" I had asked.
