Chapter 26 - City Life Part 2
Daniela has been in the City studying her music, but she is starting to get homesick and free spirited Nani isn't helping much with her boyfriends coming over to party up the apartment. Daniela is also finding that the city doesn't offer that much for an island girl such as her, she misses her swims and sun soaking on the beach. Sure the boys are cute, but they only know the night. The city was dark and stormy, I don't think the sun has even come out and when it does peek out, the city noise causes it to hide back behind the clouds.
'Oh so close to finishing up.' she thinks to herself during a long run. 'I just need three more credit hours of instructing and I'm out of here.'Nani got some friends together and went over to the gym to do some more serious workouts. When they got there she went right to the pool while Nani did the tread mill. It was a small pool, and so she started doing some laps. 'These city people swim weird', she says to herself as she passes two swimmers.
Nani was having a good time upstairs, the guys were around her as she told her stories of her island adventures about giant sharks and the rumors of mermaids.
After a few laps, Daniela was telling her two co-swimmers that she knows piano, guitar, and violin.
'That concert was amazing,' Christopher starts in, 'he nailed it on that lead. And the light show, geez. AMAZING' This just lost Daniela. What concert?
Jesse Fyres joins in, of all the boys, he gives some comfort to Daniela, at least he knows Tane. But he is so pre-occupied with Nani. Gilbert, seems to have his hormones more under control compared to the others but still flaunted himself in front of her. He liked her activeness, any girl that can swim that long got his attention. Gilbert and Daniela became good friends.
She still missed home. If the sun would come out that would brighten up things, but it was just cold and dark.
Nani was having the time of her life. 'I could live here you know Dani', she says as she dances to some S-Pop. 'This music is rad.'
It was a blizzard outside, the worst weather that the city can harness and Nani decides to have a party. 'It's what city people do, Dani.' Everyone was wearing their party outfit except for Daniela. 'Its too cold.' Josue introduced Jeffery Flex to Daniela.
Nani makes a unsuccessful pass towards Josue while Jeffery gives a complement towards Daniela. Jeffery is a romancer and is currently targeting Daniela. Tonight he was in the getting to know stage. Daniela was flattered, but in reality she was thinking of something else.
To be home again, with the warm sun tingling the skin, the fresh air streaming through, the soft slaps of the waves against the beach and company you enjoy being around. Daniela was homesick.
