Skye

My hands slowly reached for the sky blue nailpolish from the top of the cupboard. As I grabbed it, my eyes scanned my wardrobe for a jacket to wear. It decided on a light blue varsity jacket with 'S' and 'C' embroided on the left hand side. It went perfectly with the black skinny jeans and the nailpolish.

My fingers carefully twisted the brush of the polish, opening it. The smell of the liquid slowly made its way up to my nose making me scrunch it. I dipped the brush in the little jar, that contained the polish, and placed gently strokes on my nail. I did the same thing until both hands were done.

I gently blew on the liquid that was on my nails, attempting to dry it. When I was satisfied with the creation I put the blue polish back on the cupboard just as the doorbell rang.

"Skye can you get that?" Mum yelled.

I quickly made my way downstairs placing my hand on the gold doorknob. Twisting it, I found Mr and Mrs Grayson and the stranger I invited earlier standing behind the wooden door, smiles plastered on their faces. A smile crept on my face making me grin from ear to ear.

"Come in" I exclaimed.

I watched as the Graysons entered saying 'hello' to me and swapping a hug and kiss with my mother. To my surprise the 'stranger' completely ignored me, like I was invisible. He swapped a hug with my mother and thanked her for inviting him.

"Skye close the door" mums voice rang startling me.

I did as told and closed the door, locking it.

"Skye darling, I want you to meet Zayn. His our new neighbor" mum explained.

I gave him a nod signaling a 'hello' and he did the same in return.

"His only a few years older than you so don't worry about getting comfortable with him" mum said making me blush.

With that mum left leaving Zayn and I alone. I could tell he didn't want to do this and neither did I.

I noticed just like last time, his features. They were honestly beautiful. His eyes and lips went perfectly together and so did his tanned skin.

"so your Skye?" he asked.

"yes" I whispered.

"well as you know I'm Zayn" he gestured taking his hand for me to shake.

I hesitated at first but my hand soon met his. My eyes drifted to the little pendant hanging from his bracket, as we let go of each others hands. I noticed how different the red color of the pendant was. I couldn't make out what it was but that was soon answered.

"its a ruby. Its a family thing" Zayn answered.

"its beautiful" I smiled.

"My grandfather gave it to me before he died. He said to give it to the person I fall in love with"

"Well its a beautiful pendant and I'm sorry about your grandfather..." I trailed off.

"no don't worry about it" he answered quickly.

There was silence for a bit before mum decided to break it.

"Dinners ready everyone" she yelled.

"looks like foods ready" Zayn smiled making me smile.

The both of us walked over to the table taking a seat next to each other. Mum served the food around and we all ate, small talk going around the table.

"So Zayn what do you do?" mum asked.

"um...I'm a history teacher at Cheltenham Girls starting from tomorrow" Zayn answered.

"that's where Skye studies" mum said quickly.

"do you skye? Well you know Mr Bowen I'm replacing all his classes" Zayns British accent rang through my ears.

"well that's awkward Mr Bowen is my history teacher" I mumbled, looking at the floor.

"well that means I would be teaching you" Zayn whispers in my ear.

I looked up from look the ground and see mum had interested herself in another conversation while Zayn said that to me. I turned my head and looked at him a blush slowly creeping to my cheeks. He looked at me and gave me a wink. I returned the gesture with a smile shifting my gaze back to the food.

---------------------------------------------------------

The Graysons had left earlier because they had something to do which left Zayn. He helped clear the table and left as well.

"it was nice meeting you Mrs Carter" Zayn said hugging mum and peeking her cheek "and you to Skye" he said giving me an unexpected hug making me hug him back. 

"thank you for coming Zayn" mum exclaimed.

"i'll see you at school tomorrow" he chuckled before waving and heading back home.

I watched as Zayn's figure got smaller and smaller before it disappeared. I heaved a sigh and shut the door, not realizing I had been outside in the cold for a bit.

I quickly ran to my room and changed into some comfy sleep ware for the night. After brushing my teeth and getting everything ready for school tomorrow, I went to bed. Instantly falling asleep.

So I had a new neighbor and history teacher and they happen to be the same person. Noting special right?
