------------------------------------------------------------Derek’s p.o.v-------------------------------------------------------------
I had just arrived at my mom’s chain restaurant called The Café in downtown Magix with my dad, mom and two older sisters. We were waiting for one of the people who worked under him and would be the CEO of the Magix location and he had two sons that were my sister’s age and a daughter a few months younger than me. My dad suggested the idea that the sons all get the daughters a gift, so I bought her a nice mkufu and I look at it; but I shut the box as I hear the sound of tires squealing as the brakes are hit and I see a limo pull up. I guess it’s the family, so I stand up straight and I say hello to the people getting out first my dad’s fellow worker and his wife followed kwa the two sons; and when I turn away for a moment and then look back I stop. I am looking in front of me and see the prettiest girl I have ever seen with the most beautiful shade of zumaridi, zamaradi for her eyes. I walk over to help her out of the limo and she says thank wewe I introduce myself and she smiles and says her name is Charlotte. I know I have only just met her; but I think I’m in upendo with that smile, eyes, perfectly curled hair, perfectly tan skin and most of all her. Our families walk inside and take us to a back room just for our families that we only use on special occasions. As the chajio, chakula cha jioni goes on I find out she will be going to Magix High School which is where my sisters and I attend. I feel my moyo skip a beat as she mentions that and this means I get a better chance to know her. So after we order I say that it’s a shame wewe don’t have a mkufu to go with your dress and she laughs before replying I couldn’t find one in my closet that matched my dress. And I laugh with her before saying well I have something that might help and then I pull out the mkufu I bought with last week’s left over allowance. She gasps and everyone turns towards me and my dad smiles and winks at me. I hear her mom say it’s lovely, she says thank wewe and kisses me on the cheek and then ask if I can put it on her. I reply yes as she lefts up her hair revealing the back of her neck and her small shoulder blades that stick out as I hook the mkufu and it sets perfectly on her and I just can’t believe she loves it and I look to see my sisters receiving the presents from her brothers and they smile too. So as our chakula comes everyone talks and I find out that she does cheerleading and gymnastics. With every new thing I find out I upendo her even zaidi and then my dad asks if she has a boyfriend, she says she did; but she broke up with him today after seeing him kiss the person who was supposedly her best friend. Her mom and dad are in shock and her brothers look like they are ready to kill him; but I wondered why anyone would want to cheat on her since she is so beautiful so I sigh. Our chakula arrives and we all eat and the amount of talk lowers; so once we finish and wait for kitindamlo I ask her if she how she feels about going to a new school. This causes her to tense up for a moment and I ask if I alisema something wrong she alisema no and just no one has asked her that swali yet so she needs a moment to think. She tells me she is slightly nervous; but nothing to worry about but I can tell something deep down is bothering her; but I don’t swali I because WE ALL HAVE OUR SECRETS and maybe it’s one of hers. Once chajio, chakula cha jioni is finished we all head outside to talk before the limo’s arrive to take us back; so I spend that time talking with her and all I know is she has already stolen my heart. A breeze blows kwa which makes her shiver so I take off my koti, jacket and give it to her. She turns around to look at me and she smiles before saying thank wewe and I say you’re welcome and smile back. I was about to say something but her family’s white limo pulls up and she was about to hand me my koti, jacket back; but I say keep it and I’ll see wewe around at school. She kisses me on the cheek and says goodbye which makes me melt on the inside and both of our parents smile because they can sense the way we feel about each other and are happier than we have ever been in our lives. So as I wave goodbye and she gets in the limo, I think about what it would be like to kiss her pale pink lips and wrap, upangaji pamoja my arms around her; but then I realize I never got her number so I sigh. Then the most amazing thing happens she gets out of the car and says I forgot to give this to wewe and puts something in my hand before getting back in the car that drives away. My sisters are asking what it is and I look down and see a piece a paper with numbers and her name written on it and I tell them it’s her number which causes them to squeal. So as our limo pulls up and we head nyumbani for the night which is back to Magix High School I cannot get her out of my head at all. So I as I opened my dorm room I sigh as my head hits the pillow; but I realize I won’t get any sleep because I will be thinking of her all night long.
