Amelia Scott's p.o.v;

Since I'm bad with directions, Hannah takes care of me with that. I tried to learn the ways and the stops but I kept on forgetting the signs and got lost twice during my elementary and once in middle school and once in high school. My parents got worried about me so they don't let me out often unless it's with Hannah.

While I was drinking the smoothie, it reminded me of the moment when I accidentally touched Andrew's hand. I smiled to myself and continued drinking. I took my phone and turned on the front camera and looked into it. I saw Andrew talking to Peter while drinking the chocolate smoothie. I took a selfie holding a chocolate smoothie in my hand along with Andrew drinking chocolate smoothie in the background.

"I said to hurry up and you're taking pictures. Do you have so much leisure time?" Hannah asked.

I smiled and put my phone back into my pocket and finished drinking my chocolate smoothie and said with a bright smile, "Come on, let's go."

"Finally."

While we're walking out the mall, she said, "Why are you glowing suddenly? It looks weird seeing you smiling up to your ears."

I smiled while she was talking to me.

She asked, "Seriously, what happened? Was drinking chocolate smoothie brightening up your mood?"

I nodded hurriedly while I was smiling at her. We came to the bus terminal, and when she tried to board the bus, I said, "Hey! I can go by myself. You can go to your job. You're already running late so go."

"Are you sure about that?"

I smiled and said, "Yeah, you can trust me this time."

"Okay. Don't forget to message me when you're home."

I smiled at her and gave a thumbs up. She left after the bus started moving.

I let out a sigh and looked at Andrew who was in the front. If he's here, why would I have to care about the directions? Since he lives next door, it wouldn't be a big problem, right?

I took my phone and checked the picture I took back in the food court. I wasn't able to see it properly because Hannah was beside me. The picture came out really good and no one can say I took a picture of Andrew since my head was in the front and was big. It clearly looks like a selfie and Andrew looked like he photobombed me. Hahaha. And this was the first picture where we're together in the same panel even though you were sitting far away from me. I'm going to cherish this forever. I couldn't stop chuckling when I looked at the picture.

I put my phone back into my pocket and looked at the person in front of me. Was it a coincidence or a destiny or a fate to meet him twice a day? It feels like a fairytale. Thinking about that, who would I be if this story was a fairytale? Will I be Cinderella waiting for a prince to get rescued from my stepmom? Or will I be snow white waiting for a prince to get kissed to get up from my sleep? Or will I be Rapunzel to get rescued from my evil mother?
I laughed out loud and everyone looked at me.

I apologised and realised that Andrew looked at me too like others… Did he? Oh! No! I'm embarrassed. What will he think of me? Laughing out loud in the public. I keep on damaging my reputation by myself in front of him. In the food court, i tried to grab the drink from him and now I laughed out loud like a stupid. Why is this happening to me all the time?

After some time, Andrew stood up and waited near the steps. Have we arrived?
When the bus stopped, I got up and got out of the bus along with him.

When I looked at the neighbourhood, it looked familiar to me. I know this way. I can walk from here so easily.
