She runs into Hiro on the street
by: Unknown
"Lost?" asked a voice.
The familiarity nearly made Dulce's blood freeze. The girl's face broke into a smile and she shuffled around, hiding her backpack behind her. "Um no, not at all."
Hiro raised one eyebrow skeptically. The young boy had seen other kids, usually vandals, try and enter the university by breaking in. At five one in hightops, with nothing but a red T shirt and cargo shorts, he knew he didn't look much like an enforcer of justice. Still, the girl barely looked older than him.
"You need an access card to get in," He said, revealing his own card and swiping it at the university gate.
"Oh, OH, thats what I was missing. Of course." Dulce's smile crinkled even further. "Well that's too bad I guess. I think I left mine at home. Do you think I could borrow yours for a second?"
"Sorry, I dont think so,",replied Hiro. The innocent kid sounded genuinely sorry too. "Is your house far away?"
"I would say so," giggled Dulce mischeviously. She was staring at the Asian boy's feet which were covered in red hightop sneakers. They were decently sized compared to his slender ankles and looked brand new. "Hey OK so super weird request but would you mind letting me see your shoes? It's for...a science project."
Hiro blinked. "Yeah, sure no problem! These ones are new. I just bought them last week." He lifted one foot up and began undoing the laces."
Oh yes, thought Dulce, her fingernails digging into her palms.
"Hey Hiro!" Another familiar face popped out from behind them. It was Wasabi. "What are you doing, we're going to be late for Gogo's demonstration!"
"Oh no!" Hiro panicked. "I totally forgot that was today!" He quickly laced up his sneaker again, along with all of Dulce's hopes and dreams.
"Well...um, I guess I might see you around then...what was your name?" Hiro awkwardly waved as he swiped his card into the gate. The security guard at the desk gave him a nod as he entered the premises.
"Dulce," answered the girl. "Very nice to meet you, Hiro."
"Hurry up!" Wasabi grabbed the Asian boy's skinny shoulders and pushed him forward.
Oh we'll see each other again, thought Dulce. Very soon. But first she had to figure out a way into the university.
