I saw the shadow taking off his shirt. I guessed by the physique, that the shadow was of a boy. I turned my head back and decided against stalking, which is creepy I suppose.

I went back to revising. Within few minutes of revising I got bored so I turned my stereo on and started dancing softly against the beats. Dancing was one of my favorite time pass besides reading books, and by end of my routine I became sweaty and stinky, which was well something obvious. So I just slided the curtain and opened the windows for some air, fortunately curtains on other side were closed. Few minutes later even though I cooled down, I was still stinky. So I decided to take a shower.

After a long extended time at shower, I stepped out of with towel wrapped around me, well my favorite song Hips Don't Lie was on. I tried to copy her moves from the music video, and was having fun until I noticed a boy with green eyes staring at me with a stupid smirk on his face. I froze, gasped in surprise and ducked under windows instantly embarrassed. God I wish to never see that boy again in my life, imagine the pain oh lord.

While I was sleeping, I heard a knock on my door, but any heartbeat I knew it would be my Mom. I opened to find her with her fake smile, a smile which she gives, whenever she needs me to do something for her.

"Is there something that I need to do, momma" I asked straight away, she seemed to be surprised, but pleased with my reply, she sweetly nods her head.

"I need you to go to our neighbor and give her these cookies."

Wait what?

My heart skipped a beat hearing the word neighbor, which would be the last place I would like to go, after what happened few hours ago.

"Sorry Mom, I ain't going I have my beauty sleep to catch on."

"Now get up Alex, I don't want our neighbors to think we're stuck up people. Please, go now." She pleaded.

"Can't El go? Please mom."

"No sweetie, she is at her friend's, now be good girl, deliver it. It's a way to say hello to our new neighbor. Also we are going together for dinner there the next day, now hurry up."

These were the moments I wished I could disappear into thin air. But since such things don't happen in reality, gathering up my leftover guts, I went ahead. I quietly stepped up their house and rang up their door bell. The door was opened by a middle aged lady, and a pretty young girl with deep green eyes, probably elder by 2 years or so to me.

I smiled and politely greeted them. She welcomed me inside with a warm smile. How wish if that stupid incident hadn't occurred, I would have love to talk and mingle more with this lovely lady.

I hope that boy isn't home.

"So what's our pretty neighbor's name?"

"It's Alexandra, Mrs.?"

"Oh call me Anne dear."

"Yea, thank you Anne, and you can call me Alex."

"So Alex, I suppose you're in High school." said the other girl standing there.

Gemma I guess, at least that's what I heard Anne calling her.

"Yea, I am"

"See mum, I told you Harry and she might be in same high school."

"We can find that out." Anne said to Gemma and turning her head she called

"Harry could please come here, right now."

Well here goes my hope of avoiding him.

He appeared from stairs, like a Greek God may I add. Deep green eyes, tall and handsome, everything perfect. As he looked me, his lips spread to wide smirk. I stood there with totally flushed, I could feel the heat creeping up my cheeks.

"Hello." he spoke with a deep raspy voice, a voice which sent up chills to my spine.

"Hi." I tried to reply, it more came like a squeak.

"So you both are in same high." Gemma inquired.

"Yeah, we are" he replied.

Whole time I was thinking, that his face was damn similar, like I have met him before, then it strikes me, he was one whom I bumped the last day. Oh gosh more than one embarrassing incident now. I handed the package I was holding towards Anne, she smiled and mumbled thanks.

"So Harry won't you show her around" she said.

Before I could deny, he grabbed my wrist and nodded towards her.

When I looked at his face, to show my disagreement, it happened again. World around me froze; air around me came to still as I saw those dimples forming across his smile.
