< Alexandria's POV >

After Sharon and I was done with our shopping, I tried my best to recall what on earth mum said before we left the house.

Sharon and I went back home and then I remembered what mum said. We have new neighbors!

Wait. What? What happened to our old neighbors, Mr and Mrs Lee? Oh well, I guess both of them moved away after realising how old the area is.

Oh. My. God.

Did you just realize something?

These new neighbors are sooooooooooooooo dumb.

The government is demolishing the whole area and they just moved in?!?

Wow. Good luck with that, new neighbors.

Anyways, Mr and Mrs Lee were our old neighbors. They were a really cute and rather old couple.

They were in their late fifties already and they don't have children. Yet.

Nonetheless, it's really cute just watching this Chinese couple just spending their time with each other, forgetting that the whole world actually existed.

I know, I know. I really love the elderly. They're really nice people. Although sometimes they spoil us and they always tend to support the wrong things we do.

For example, when I steal food from the fridge. My mum will scold me but my grandma will just convince her to leave me alone and said that I was hungry.

So you see, sometimes they can be very helpful. *winks*

Wanna know why I'm so cheerful?

Nah, not telling you! Guess!

Alright, alright I will tell you. It's the day when we are moving to our new house!

And I'm finally going to a new school!

No more Mrs Chloe ☜☆☞
No more annoying classmates ☜☆☞
No more annoying "concerned" teachers who think I can't cope in life ☜☆☞
No more morons ☜☆☞

Last but not least, no more memories of Dylan! ☜☆☞

o(╥﹏╥)o

Aaah how satisfying :)

You know, maybe I should really tell these new neighbours that they have made the wrong choice!😂😂😂😂

And yes I will!

After Sharon's mom arrived with her car at my house, I quickly went in with mum and Jason while the delivery trucks helped us carry all our furniture and other housing stuff.

Just before I bid goodbye to my dungeon, I decided to tell my new neighbours the hard truth. 😌

"Excuse me! Madam, this house is going to be torn down by bulldozers in three days and you are going to live here? Did you not know about this?"

She opened her eyes so wide and the delivery men who helped her carry her stuff exchanged glances many times.

 "What?!? Are you kidding me? No one even told me about this!"

I couldn't help but to laugh so loud but she just glared at me.

How could these people be so stupid? Oh my god 😂😂😂😂😂

"This ain't funny young lady! I have already paid for this fucking house and now you tell me it's going to be demolished in three freaking days?!? Seriously? Even you guys didn't know about this?" she shot her eyes at those mischievous delivery men who just tried their best to hide their laughter. They scratched their head and shrugged their shoulder to prove themselves innocent.

What cheeky little rascals!

"Oh well, I guess that's your loss Madam.  Maybe next time you should double confirm these stuff to prevent getting well , cheated again. Anyway, good luck in finding your new house!"

After I said those words, Sharon's mum started the car and it roared with energy.

Although Sharon's mum has already started speeding down the road, I could still make out some of the words that poor woman was screaming.

"What the fuck is this?... You have to pay me back... Now, where are we going to live?"

Poor woman. I actually wanted to help her but I just don't know how.   

I'm not kidding.

Well, I just hope she will find her home sweet home as soon as possible 

"Jase, stop playing with the windows!"

He was opening and closing the windows with the button. I forgot that he was forbidden to seat beside the window.

Sometimes, I wonder when can I be so young and innocent again so I don't have to face all this nonsense in life.

In fact, I wouldn't even understand what was going on.

I bet Jase doesn't even know where we are going.

Unless, he's really observant which at some points of time he was.

When I got my first glimpse of our house, my eyeballs literally popped out...

How... How could we... How could we afford such a masterpiece?

I looked at Mum and she just giggled at my reaction as if that was what she expected me to do.

Isn't it beautiful? It's so big! And we even have our own backyard! Finally!

I must admit that I'm very impressed by Sharon's house too actually.

It's really pretty right? And to be honest, it looks better than mine. Well, at least we are finally living beside each other now. Which means we are neighbours!

Sharon used to live slightly down the road in our previous house. It was bad as we couldn't scream at each to other to communicate through our bedroom windows like those we always watch on TV.

But now... We can finally do that since the only barrier between us is the wooden fence. And you know what's the best part?

The bowling alley is just a few metres away from my house! Bowling. Is. Life

Anyway, I should really get going because I'm still standing outside of the house, amazed by her beautiful and exquisite design.

I can't wait to see my bedroom!

And it's decided, that I will check out my bedroom first after I helped mum to carry all the stuff into the house and unpack.

After we settled everything, we decided to take a break. I slumped my body on the sofa, oblivious that mum was going to sit on me at that moment.

When her ass crashed down on my chest, all she said was "Oops, sorry about that sweetie."

Oh well, at least my bones are still intact.

Out of nowhere, we heard loud knocks on the door and mum quickly ran to see who it was.

Before we could even react, the woman started saying a whole mouthful of words in just one breath.

"Good Morning! Welcome to your new house! I am your new neighbor and you can call me Mrs. Ryes. Awwwww, what's your name sweetie?"

I looked at mum and said "She's talking to you."

Mum rolled her eyes and said "Her name is Alexandria. Alexandria Flynn."

That woman giggled and shook her head.

"You have such a beautiful daughter, just like you. She's really pretty. And I just love your name!"

Wow. Okay?

"Thank you so much dear."

When I said nothing, mum pinched my shoulder and I realised that I actually had to say something.

Oooooh,  I didn't know that!

"Thank you Mrs Flies."

Mum pinched me again and I corrected my mistake.

"Oh sorry. I mean Mrs Ryes."

She just laughed and pinched my cheeks painfully.

When will these women stop the pinching?!?

"Would you all like to come to my house? It's just opposite yours!"

Oh great. When I actually thought I could sleep today and check out my new bedroom.

"Of course we would! Thanks for everything Mrs Ryes."

"Call me Brianna."

"Oh alright! You can call me Linda."

"Very well then, Linda and Alexandria, you are both welcome into our house."

Our?

Oh maybe she's talking about her husband. Gosh I'm so mean, I actually thought she lived alone which was possible since she practically dragged us into her house.

When I entered the house, I literally wanted to snatch out my eyeballs, wipe it with a handkerchief, then put it back in to see if I was actually seeing what I am seeing.

I realised, that she was not only living with her husband, but also her son.

And her son is.

Blaze.

I'm not kidding. It's really him.

"Why? Out of all people, why him? This is horrible," I whispered to myself.

"Of course it's not horrible! In fact, it's just absolutely perfect!"

Sharon? Where did she come from?

I turned around and jumped when I saw that she was really standing behind me and her eyes were wide open and looked as though they were sparkling.

"Sharon? You knew? And you didn't tell me!"

She furrowed her eyebrows and gave me a questioning look.

"What on earth are you talking about?" she asked, trying to play dumb.

"Ah well, apparently Sharon is oblivious that Blaze is our neighbor," I scoffed back at her, sarcasm clearly present in my tone.

She started laughing like a crazy woman until Blaze noticed us and said, "Sharon? Is that you?"

Holy shit.

Sharon beamed at him and said, "Of course it's me! The one and only Sharon."

Yeah, right.

He laughed and shook his head slightly.

"So...Welcome to my house, I guess? What are you guys doing here anyway?"

Wow. So that's how he welcome guests into the house. He will ask them why they came. Impressive, very impressive indeed.

"We just came for fun," Sharon said while nudging me to speak.

But, I have nothing to say. What do you expect me to say to someone who likes me?!?

Besides, he seems to be ignoring my presence.

Like, Hello? I'm here too, you know.

Wait, what's wrong with me?

At first, I didn't want to be noticed by him at all, and now... I'm annoyed that he's ignoring me?

What does this mean?

"Alex? You coming? What are you thinking about? You seem to be very stressed out. Is there something wrong?" Sharon ran towards me then she cupped my face and moved it slightly until our eyes met.

"Alex... You can always tell me if there is something bothering you."

"Well, I'm really worried. I feel weird. It's like at first I didn't want Blaze to be near me at all. And now... Because he keeps talking to you... I'm getting very annoyed and angry... I don't know what's wrong with me!"

She just stared at me, mouthed something like "Okayyyyyyy".

Then, she took a deep breath and started laughing hysterically.

What the fuck is wrong with her?!?

 "What's so funny? Why... Why are you laughing?!"

"Alex... Al...ALLY-AHHHH I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" she started laughing while babbling and I have no idea why.

That's it. I want the answer now and I will do anything for it.

I grabbed her shoulders and yanked it as hard as I could repeatedly, continuously saying "Why? Why? Why? Why?"

She stopped laughing and suddenly started coughing and breathing heavily.

She vomited on the floor.

Well done Alex.

"Sharon? Oh my god, are you okay!? I'm so sorry, I was just curious on why you were laughing!" I tried to help her get up and decided to bring her to the washroom to clean up.

But, I don't know where it is.

Just then, Blaze came running and asked me if Sharon was okay between pants.

Wow. Does he really like her?

"I don't think so... Ugh this is all my fault! I shouldn't have yanked her shoulders so hard! Do you know where the bathroom is?"

He gave me this weird look but led me the way to the bathroom.

I quickly managed to bring her to the bathroom in time where she vomited even more in the sink.

"I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have done that. But I was really desperate to find out what was so funny."

She looked at me after she washed her face and giggled.

"It's okay, I know how you feel. I shouldn't have done that too and I'm sorry. But you wanna know why I was laughing right? Well  it's because I know you like him," she said, waiting for my reaction.

Me? Like him? No way!

"What? Of course I don't like him, don't be stupid!"

She turned into a paedophile and gave me the "pedo smile".

"Are you sure? Then why were you so jealous when he was talking to me, huh?"

"Jealous? I'm not jealous... I'm just... I just feel left out okay!"

Why am I stuttering?!?

Sharon decided to give me a hug but when I saw all the vomit on her shirt, I decided that maybe not now 😁

"Do you want me to get you another shirt? And meanwhile maybe you can have a shower or something?"

"Oh, alright then. Remember to make sure you get a shirt that fits!"

"Well, obviously."

As soon as I went out of the bathroom, I bumped into Blaze and fell right onto him.

Or should I say, I'm right on top of  him.

"Urmm, I'm sorry but I was going to get Sharon another shirt. Do you know where I can find one?"

I stood up and waited for his response when he pulled me down again and I fell on him again.

"Hey! What...what are you doing?" I screamed and quickly got up again.

He chuckled to himself and stood up and ordered me to follow him.

Patience Alex, just wait till lunch and you can leave this place!

He led me to his room and threw me a shirt form his wardrobe.

"Here, she can use mine."

I looked at it and realized... It was too big.

"I think this is too big for her. Do you have something that's smaller?"

He smirked at me.

"Awww the smallest I have is the one I'm wearing now. But it's okay. I will let her wear it. Just give me a few seconds and I will take this off-"

And he just took of his shirt in front of me leaving him shirtless.

My jaw fell as if on cue after seeing his 8 packs.

Why does he have to be so hot?

His muscles were lean and muscular and it was impossible to find any flaws in his body shape.

Really impressive. Wait, what am I saying?

"Are you done staring? There's more if you are interested to look, " Blaze smirked at me and I felt all the heat rushing to my cheeks as they turned a light shade of pink.

"Urmm... Can I have that shirt now?" I asked him hoping to leave this awkward situation as soon as possible.

"No."

Great, this is definitely going to be harder than I thought.

"Please. Just give me that shirt, for the sake of Sharon."

The cheeky grin on his face suddenly disappeared.

"What do you mean ?"

Is he trying to play dumb here? Ughhhh he's getting on my nerves!

"You like her, don't you?"

He started striding towards me with his eyes fixed on mine and I felt this urge to run away or do anything to stay away from his but I was rooted to the ground.

"Like her? Who says I like her?"

We are only inches apart. As he came nearer, I started moving backwards until I felt something hard and solid behind me.

It was his bedroom door.

"You can run, but you can't hide Alex."

I glared at him.

"What do you want?! And you have no right to call me Alex! I'm Alexandria!."

He started laughing much to my annoyance and I really felt like punching that handsome face but it was impossible when he was cornering me in such a way that it was difficult for me to even move.

"I'm gonna call you Alex because I like it. What are you gonna do? Fight me?" he started untying my hair and they cascaded down my shoulders.

That's it. I'm going to show this guy my taekwondo skills! Too bad he doesn't even know how good I am at it to earn a junior black belt!

With one long stride, I kicked his chest and he fell down, still laughing.

He actually dared to stand up and ask me if there was more.

And so, I did more.

Don't ask me why I didn't do anything to Dylan in my dream.

Once again, it was a dream and I was unable to control what I was doing.

This time, I kicked his ass and I think he moaned  in pain...

After several more kicks and punches, he raised his hands in surrender and I knew that I had won.

But I almost thought that my ears had deceived me when he said it was his turn.

He wouldn't dare to touch me...

He grabbed my hands with one of his hands, pinned them over my head, pushed me down to his bed and before I could scream or anything, he started tickling me.

"Stop!... Stoooooop...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...OH MY AHHAHAHAHAHAHA Blaze stop it's not... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA STOOOOOOOOOP"

"I'm so sorry but I think someone needs to apologize for punching my face," after that idiot said his words, he continued tickling me but this time it was faster.

That's it. I'm getting breathless and he needs to stop.

"Okay!... Okay I'm sorry!"

He stopped for a while but then shook his head and tickled me again.

"Sorry for what?"

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"I'm sorry for punching your handsome face okay? It's so perfect that I am so sorry-"

What the fuck did I just say?

He finally stopped and headed out something like a sigh of relief.

"I'm glad you find me handsome."

"Nope, I only said it because I had to."

"Oh really? Then maybe I should continue -"

"No! Hell no! Okay fine! I must admit that you are handsome okay? Jeez stop threatening me for all this shit."

"Awwww someone is blushing," he said and started pinching my cheeks.

WHEN WILL HUMANS STOP PINCHING CHEEKS OR WHATEVER?!

"I'm not blushing, you idiot."

"Anyway, I must admit that I have never seen someone who was so brave and daring before. And someone who was so pretty too to be exact," he smirked at me and this time I was really blushing.

"Awwww, I made her blush harder."

"Just... Just give me that damn shirt!"

This time, I managed to grab that shirt from him before he grabs me again and ran out of the room.

He tried to chase me but Jason-that-awesome-guy suddenly appeared and tripped him and I almost lost my footing as I was running away while laughing like some crazy person.

I stopped for a while to see what my hero does next.

"You! Play with me hide and seek! Mummy says that when guests come to someone's house, you have to play with them. So play with me or I will tell mummy and she's gonna scold you!" Jason crossed his arms and stuck out his tongue at Blaze.

"Listen up young man, I -"

"MY. NAME. IS JASON. Not young man," Jason screamed at the top of his lungs then giggled when Blaze pretended to be afraid.

They look so cute together.

"Alright then, Mr Jason-"

"JASON!"

"Okay! Okay! Jason! I can't play right now, I have to find your sister, Alex, do you know where she is?"

I quickly hid behind the wall when Jason started scanning his surroundings.

I must admit, Jason has a vision that is comparable to an eagle's.

"Nope, I don't see Ale anyway. And you're supposed to call her Alendria not Ale!"

Oh boy, he's messing up with the letter ' x ' again.

"Her name is Alexandria, not Alendria."

"No, it's Alendria!"

"Listen to me you fool! I know what I'm saying!"

"You're stupid! You don't even know my sister and you think her brother doesn't? I hate you! Go away!"

Jason was about to make a run but he remembered what I taught him.

Never allow anyone to defeat you.

"Before I go and watch TV, I want you to play with me five rounds of hide and seek! Now! Now! Now!"

"What? But that's not f-"

"Now! Now! Now!"

"Okay, I will play ughhh"

"We're playing hide and seek not ughhh."

"Yes, right."

Jason smiled cheekily, proud of himself and he doesn't know how proud I am of him too.

"Alright, you will be the seeker, and I will hide. Count to twenty and no cheating!"

"Yeah, whatever."

Why is Blaze such a spoilsport? 😒

"Hey!"

"Now what?"

"You have to smile to play the game! Stop being so grumpy like an old man!"

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Jason just called Blaze an old man! 

"Alright, I will smile because you are so adorable."

Blaze smiled and Jason smiled too. 

"I know I'm adorable, Ale says I'm the most cutest thing ever!" Jason smirked.

Blaze busted out laughing and Jason glared at him.

How dare Blaze laugh at Jason's cuteness!

"Stop wasting time and let's playyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" Jason started whining and my ears felt like exploding.

"Okay, I will start counting! 20...19...18...17..."

Jason dashed towards the bathroom and locked himself in.

What a smart brother I have!

I swear, I can't wait to tell Sharon what happened!
