I blinked a couple of times to get up very happy, I took my cell phone in my hand, I wrote the name of the song that was so much in my head, I turned up the volume when I heard the rhythm of the song and that's how I started my week. While I was getting my school clothes ready, I sang very animatedly doing dance movements according to what I was dancing. BTS's Silver Spoon makes me want to throw everything around me which I find funny, I hum this song as I go to the shower, I take off my pajamas and go in to bathe, I still didn't understand how I could come to like this band and still K-pop to tell the truth was one more of the people who criticized without knowing who they were because at school the girls played it all the time and the worst they repeated the same song, I did not understand it, I saw it everywhere, in addition to the posters , key rings, notebooks, pencil cases even pencils apparently was not enough, on the birthdays of my brother's companions it was also the same. Until November 19, 2017, where I was able to witness their music and dance, which left me shocked, it was the first time I heard it and saw them carefully.
But after that day I still had no interest until 2019, where the weekend arrived, I was on Facebook, a suggested video appeared to me and from there I began to experience many emotions but that is another story. I would go on and on talking about them. I knew that there were different bands in South Korea, however it was the only one that I liked. I quickly changed and combed my hair in a high tail. Mark my calendar September 16, 2020. I grabbed my backpack as well my cell phone, I put my backpack on the couch to greet the person who was making breakfast.
-My lady mother –she called very excited and she smiled when she saw me –. Hello.
I walked over and kissed her cheek while she served breakfast.
-Good morning my princess – she greeted happily –.You should go find your brother.
The usual with that boy, I nodded, puckering my lips, went back to the stairs and went in search of my fat brother.
"Sarcasm" By the way I knocked on the door and did not receive an answer so I already knew what it meant I went to the bathroom and took my glass of water, holding back my laughter I approached the bed again who was sleeping peacefully until I was envious, I approached the glass of water towards him and emptied it on his face making his body move.
-I'm awake, I'm awake – he got up in alarm.
-You're about to be late.
He smiled wryly.
-No again. He started to get up and get ready quickly, I laughed and left the room.
[...…...]
-Be careful kids please.
My mother said with concern, she gave my brother a kiss on the cheek and I went to say goodbye.
-Hug me because maybe you can't do it tomorrow.
It was something she always said.
-How funny, I'll hug you every day.
She slapped me on the butt and we both laughed.
I left the house to wait for the bus, I adjusted my uniform while he looked at me again and I realized that there was a moving truck, I frowned somewhat surprised, after the Roberts family had to go to Spain for the death of your daughter, the house was uninhabited for two years, well we will have new neighbors. The door was closed, perhaps the owner has not arrived yet.
-Amy – he blinked for a few seconds and turned, the bus had already arrived –.Let's go.
I went upstairs and greeted some friends so I could sit down, my brother and I studied at the same school, it was my last year and then I would go to college like Dad always wanted. Unfortunately, he will not be able to accompany me, he died four years ago, he had an illness. Upon arrival, I met my group of friends.
-Hello my dear Amy, you know there is an exam today, –Lía exclaims with so much feigned joy–. Surprise
-Of course I knew, I'm ready for that.
I cross my arms and Abigail comes over to greet me.
-Then let's walk-
It was a good day at school, everything was going normally and as it started it ended, we went back to the bus and I found my brother, I sat next to him to start our conversation, a little about how the day had gone. When we got home, our mother greeted us with a big smile.
-My loves – he calls us –I want them to tell me absolutely everything.
And that was the everyday thing in my life and I loved it, I love my family.
Until one day
It was Saturday and I could feel my body so relaxed that I knew what I had to do, going out is something I always do in the afternoon. I like to see the sky, the blue color calms me when I see how the clouds form funny figures, it improves everything to around me.
I got up stretching and looked at my mother who was resting on her bed, my brother was watching television, I went out, I sat on the floor watching how two men were carrying a black closet and taking it to the Robert's house. Lying on the grass, my mind was always wandering through the oldest memories, like my parents, my friends and me. How big is this world. Also the fact that I would have to study to survive this present time, I wanted to study psychology because I wanted to interpret the emotions and behaviors of people in different types of situations, I would really achieve it. The weather was cool and warm, it filled me up, I closed my eyes to feel the feeling of tranquility and peace.
-Excuse me?
I heard a hoarse voice that made me open my eyes and I saw a man standing. I got up quickly shaking my clothes, when I raised my head I was met with a very penetrating gaze so fixed and cold.
-Yes? - I asked him and he smiled at me
-Hi, my name is Harry Anderson. I moved in two days ago.
He appears.
-Hi, my name is Amy Sambers. –He held out her hand and I took it. A pleasure
–The pleasure is mine –.We parted ways and she spoke again–.Do you live a lot here?
-Yes since I was born –I answered gracefully looking at him, she sighed in relief.
-I'm glad, because well…. – He stopped a moment –. I am also from here, however when I was three years old I moved to the United States.
Amazed, she raised her eyebrows as that excites me.
-Wow, how is it there? - I ask
-Very good, beautiful places, beaches ...
I noticed her dress and she was wearing a white shirt and dress pants, perhaps a businessman, a lawyer, an important man ...
-Where is a nearby hardware store? –She asks crossing her arms.
-Here three blocks to the right, it's the closest,– she explained, nodding and I know it's time to go home.
-Well, then I'll retire.
I say goodbye lowering my head like Asians do, I should stop looking at them.
-Bye thank you.
I mutter, I walked towards the door, I turned once more and realized that he was looking at me, he raised his hand in goodbye and I only smiled briefly.
I sighed in boredom as I walked to my mother's room who was already awake watching television. I lay down next to her so I could enjoy the afternoon.
[......]
It was seven at night, my mother was making coffee, my brother was playing in his room, who by the way is fourteen years old.
-Have you seen the new neighbors?
My mother asks while she serves dinner, I set the table.
-The truth is that I have seen it alone – she commented and I sat down– His name is Harry Anderson.
-You spoke with him?
I ask something confused
-Yes, I wonder where the hardware store was – I answer –. He comes from the United States.
-Oh, that means he doesn't know anything.– I nodded –.And why did he come here, visit, work, family?
-That I don't know - I see my mother approaching with the dishes served -. Oh good.
-We have a new neighbor and dinner is ready.
The smell of food makes him scream.
-¡¡DYLAN !!
He calls my brother and I'm not going to wait for him.
