[1] His Arrival

Meg's POV:

Finally, it was the summer holidays/vacation. No more school. No more seeing horrible teachers. I walked into the house after trying to find the right key, like I'd always do every day I came back from school. I smiled my whole way to the living room but stopped dead in my tracks. Mum wasn't on the sofa like she usually was. Everyday, she'd be sat there promptly before her clumsy, yet loved daughter would come through the doors of the living room, looking like she'd just went to Fukushima, went through a train crash, had a visit to the zoo and had reached the top of Mount Everest and come back successfully looking like, well, what ever I looked like. 

Anyways, I called for her but there was dead silence. All I could hear was the echo of my voice calling back. I heard her talking quietly on the phone upstairs so I followed the voice and found her in her room. She was talking quietly about someone staying? I don't really know, I couldn't hear properly. Well, not with the door closed I couldn't. I just brushed it off as one of our relatives needing help and coming to stay.

 Then, my brother came into the house. I watched him through the window as I saw his friend that lives down the street walk away. He usually came home later than me, though we end school and meet up at the same time. He found it embarrassing to walk home with his younger or in his eyes, baby, sister. To be real, I was 3 years younger than him in age, but in school years, I was only 2 years younger. Confusing, right?

I said "Hi," to him and went to my room to get changed. I went to fix my cat fight hairstyle and went downstairs to eat something. I searched and basically found what ever and ate it. I went on my phone after and called my best friend Amy. Her contact was "My Harp" because it sounded like the instrument and Harper was her last name. We said hi and then screamed together because today was the last day. This meant we could call everyday and hang out when ever. This summer was going to be a blast.

*Later*

Fast forward to 7:30 pm and we are at the dinner table, eating our late night supper. I decided to confront mum about the call she had after school. I fiddled with the fork as I worked up my courage to ask her. 

"Hey, Mum?"

"Yes?" She said, as I saw her put the fork into her mouth.

"Who's staying over?"

"What?"

"Who is staying over, at our house? Look, I didn't mean to, but I heard your conversation about somebody staying over and I need to know who it is."

"Oh, Ethan's friend is."

"What?!" I said, in utter horror. 

"Yes!" Ethan said, as he stood up and formed his hand into a fist before sticking his tongue out at me.

He knew I hated his best friend. Milo Manheim. The basketball player. He was also quite popular but so annoying. I hated him more than I hated my brother. Like for real. Once, he splashed water all over me for no reason. Like why? I did nothing to him. Another time, he told everyone in my class that I had a crush on one of them. They haven't stopped teasing me about it since then.

"Not Milo! Mum!" I whined.

"No, Meggie. He has no choice."

"Well, tell him to sleep some where else not here. Maybe at Dad's?"

"MEGAN!" Mum shouted as her face went pale. She covered her face.

"Idiot, didn't I tell you to not mention Dad around Mum? Stupid." My brother said.

"Shut up, idiot!" I said before storming off into my bedroom.

I hated it. I hated the idea of a jerk like Milo being here, in my house! Later, it was around 9 pm and Mum came knocking on the door gently but I didn't want to hear a word. I just watched random videos I found on Youtube to calm myself down. While I was watching a random horror story, my brother came barging in. 

"Can't you at least knock?"

"No, and by the way, he's here."

At first thought, I didn't know who. But then, it clicked. Milo Manheim. Also known as, the BIGGEST jerk I've ever met. For real! I'd never met anyone quite like him before.

"Oh, now I know."

"Well, go greet him, and also Mum's waiting to talk to you."

"Ugh," I said. I brought the laptop away from my legs and closed it. I got up and went downstairs to find him. And woah, he was even hotter than he was last time. Mind you, we last talked 2 years ago. Seems like puberty did a great job with him. It was worse when he blurted out my secret because I had just started a new school. As a year 7 student, it's really hard to get used to change. Especially, this change. Anyways, he was in year 11 now and I was in year 9.

"Hi, Milo." I awkwardly spoke, trying not to blush.

"Hey, Megan. Long time no see, eh?" He said.

Gosh, his dashing face made everything else go blurry. I didn't even realise his hand was out for me to shake.

"Okay," He shook his hand away, trying to stop the awkwardness.

"So, come in, I guess."

"Yeah, thanks." 

"It is quite cold," I said as I put my shoes away.

"Yeah, no kidding." He said, rubbing his hands. Poor thing is so cold.

"Why don't you go next to the heater for now?" I signalled for him to come to the living room. There he stood there for about a minute as I watched him get comfortable in front of the heater.

"What?" He said as he turned around to see a now pink, flustered face. "And are you blushing?"

"Uh, uh."

"Wait, how the heck are you hot and I'm cold?" He walked towards me and felt my cheek, which was burning bright pink and did feel as though it was burning. 

"I uh, I uh, don't really know." His hand was still on my cheek so I looked down at it. He realised his hand was there so he silently moved it away.

"Yo, Milo" My brother called out from the stairs.

"Hey, Megan. I gotta go but it was nice catching up with you." He said, using hand motions as he got up.

"Yeah, yeah, it was nice, nice catching up with you." I said, still thinking about how nice it felt with his hands on me.
