Sophia's POV

"Sophie, I will be leaving, see you in the evening"

I turned around to see half of May leaning on the wall, peeping in the kitchen, with a smile on her face.

"Okay, see ya!" I replied with a smile. Her smile grew wider and she blew a kiss at me before finally disappearing towards the main door. I heard the door click and I made my way towards it to lock it.

Coming back to the living room I stood in the middle of the room with both my hands resting on my hips as I looked around at the mess on the floor. I sighed exasperatedly.

That was all I had been doing, sighing over things wishing for some kind of spell that could do all my work. But unfortunately Hogwarts only existed in books and my imagination.

Another sigh.

Even though my body was tired of all the work from yesterday, I had no other options except for one.

"Let's clean it up Sophie!" I said cheering myself.

I dumped the garbage in a black trash bag after I had cleaned and arranged everything, another sigh escaped my lips, but it was a sigh of relief. My body was ready to give up anytime asked to.

The rooms looked perfect and clean, a satisfied smile played on my lips, "Good job!" I patted my back.

And as a reward all I needed were soft fluffy cushions around me on my soft bed as I drifted off to the land of my dreams. Just thinking about it made me feel like I was in heaven. But before that I picked up the trash bag and walked out of my apartment and then towards the stairs.

My eyes wandered in all directions looking at the locked doors and the potted plant and then the stairs, where my gaze stopped at the sound of footsteps coming up the staircase. I stopped in my tracks.

And soon someone emerged out of the stairs. A guy. Still frozen at my place from the sudden unexpected encounter, my eyes scanned him from bottom to the top.

I could clearly make out his perfect body under the white loose tee he was wearing. A pair of brown timberlands and a pair of black Jeans complimented his entire attire. His height kind of made me feel tiny.

A white mask hovered over his lower face masking his facial features. His eyes being the only part left unguarded. It took me sometime to realize that I was literally staring at him judging him with my eyes. And all this time while I was staring at him he was doing the same.

His gaze caught mine and realization hit both of us like a strong blow of wind and almost immediately we looked away only to look back again. But this time it was only me.

His gaze fixed at the ground as his hand moved up lowering down his cap peak. I looked away and cleared my throat slowly and started walking. But I couldn't help myself from stealing glances at him. He pulled out his phone from his jeans and we walked past each other.

Complete strangers.

But my eyes never left him, they just followed him as if they were bewitched. I could see the several ear piercings that adored his earlobes as he walked past.

His soft muffled voice filled my ears, "Yeah, I'm here open the door" he said over the phone. I frowned at his accent slowing my pace, it didn't sound like American.

Without any further ado I turned my gaze away from him but my eyes were just not done with inspecting him and without any shame I kept turning and looking back at him standing at the door of apartment no. 7, which lay a little ahead of mine on the opposite side.

He caught my gaze and I immediately looked away.

Whoa that was close.

Did he see me?

I was about to steal another quick glance at him again but stopped my thoughts midway and rolled my eyes at myself.

Some things never changes. Including my own self.

I took another step and I stopped, a frown made it to my face at the sudden feeling of something hard underneath my sole. I looked down at my feet and took a step back.

My head tilted, a little, to it's side as I studied the object which kind of looked like a wallet. I crouched down and picked it up and indeed, to no one's surprise it was a black leather wallet.

I need glasses.

I was about to open it and check for the name of its owner but stopped when I realized something.

The wallet wasn't there before.

That guy! It must have fallen from his pocket.

I let out a deep sigh and turned around to give it to him but too late, he was already gone. I let out another sigh, a much deeper one this time.

It really wasn't the right moment to meet my neighbours yet.

I looked at the closed door and then at the purse.

No other option.

Fine.

I kept the trash bag down and walked back and in no time I was standing in front of the door of apartment 7 ready to press the doorbell.

I pressed the doorbell and waited to be greeted by the boy I just met or by the other members of his family. For one thing was sure, he wasn't the only one living in the apartment.

Yeah, I'm here open the door...

Sudden heavy footsteps approaching the door shooed his voice away from my mind. I stood there waiting. I remembered the look in his eyes. One that kinda looked a little unwelcoming. And suddenly the idea of facing him again felt terrible.

But it was too late, there was a click and I let out a deep breath.

It's going to be OK.
