As it was

Chapter 13

Growing up I've always been the perfect daughter, granddaughter and niece. Some might think I'm too mature for my age. I always observe what people do, like the smallest details. I personally think it's very intrusive of me but I can't help it. I notice how you walk, talk, hand movements and all that. At times it isn't intentionally but it happens. I feel like I'm a very weird person, I love being alone, reading or doing something that doesn't involve anyone else. Honestly I can't complain life isn't as shitty as it was a while back. I barely think of Jaden nowadays and when I do think it's because something or someone reminded me of him. I've been speaking to dad a lot lately, which is alright. He's trying. Speaking of observations, today something weird happened to me today. Mom came to pick me up from school because she was going to the mall and she can't do it without me. While mom was buying her beauty products I decided to get ice cream because it always makes me feel better even though there wasn't anything bothering me. On my way to buy the ice cream from the cafe I stumbled onto a random guy. He was the most beautiful boy I've ever seen. I looked at him for long that it was so embarrassing. His eyes they are different. Mysterious, scary eyes. Making eye contact is hard, it's like he looks directly into your soul, like he can read your mind. I observe every little thing about him and I don't even know why. His hair, clothes, pink lips. He was wearing this vintage black jacket and sweatpants. Trust me I looked better in person. And his lips, they are so pink. Weird. My heart races when I'm next to him, but not really, once he starts talking you find comfort in his voice. He sounds like home. He also has this familiar scent and it's good but also scary. He gives me the best smile I've ever seen in my life. "You okay?" He said in a British accent. Honestly I had no idea that a British accent would be so lovely. "Yeah I'm fine" I said trying to get my things from the floor. "Aight mate be careful next time" he quickly replied and left the cafe. I felt like I was in a dream and a nightmare at the same time. I quickly went to find my mom I didn't even get the ice cream I wanted. I felt so anxious but it's alright the chances of me seeing this guy ever again are really low and he has a fresh accent meaning he just got here. He might be going again. The minute I got home I went straight to my bed. My bed ohh my. We have this amazing relationship, my bed never disappoints me. The next day I wake up because of a truck noise. I check my window and it's a moving truck, I can't believe we're having neighbors. It annoys me so much. I do not like people. I stay in my bedroom until mom calls me to with her to the neighbors to introduce ourselves. We get there and mom introduces us. "Good morning neighbor, I'm Maine and this is my daughter Aliyah" mom said with a smile on her face. "Hi" I say after her. "It's so nice to meet you, I was about to come to you to introduce myself" she replied with a Thick British accent.  "We just moved here from London" she continued. My heart started racing, this is too much of a coincidence. Then suddenly a familiar voice screamed "mummy can you come up here, I can't find my violin" and from that minute I knew my life would be so confusing. "Can you come down here" she replied. After a few seconds her son came down and it was the guy from the cafe. Shit shit shit I say to myself in my head. I look horrible but then I always do and I didn't even think of changing my pj's because I thought it would be a 5 minute introduction. "This is my son, Nick Evans" she said. "Nice to meet you ma'am" he said shaking moms hand. He looked at me like he knows me from somewhere and it's probably from the cafe. We don't say anything to each other. Once I reach home I think of going to my room and scream at my pillow but I don't have the energy to do that. Some of this shit is literally like straight out of a movie. Nick and I haven't personally met and I don't think I want too, he probably thinks I'm a weird girl. I honestly hate when things like this happen to me, not that this specific thing has ever happened but even though. At times I wonder how my life would be if I were someone else like the president's daughter or one of those rich celebrities' children. I spend the whole day doing my assignments because I need to catch up with school I got 34% on a test, it was math's but still more. Next thing I remember is sleeping on my study table and mom comes to wake me up. "Have you eaten, love?" She asks. "Yeah I'll get something soon" I reply. "Alright, I'm going to bed" she said giving me a kiss on my head. I head to the kitchen to see what's less fatty. I think of eating cereal and then I just decided not to. I went to bed after that. For some reason it's super-hot. I check my phone and its 11:43 p.m. I don't think I can manage this heat so I decide to go for a walk. I sneak out through my bedroom window and as soon as I was getting to the road I see nick.
