The Locket Impact

☆4☆"You remind me of Bridget and Ava."

"What's your name?"

"Sabir." He didn't show any type of emotion. Maybe he flirts with everyone he finds. Maybe he is not the shy and mysterious guy I thought he would be. However that's not the problem.

It's not like we were some sort of soulmate or anything.

"We reached the library", I said as confidence reflected from my every movement. I did it. Sierra Huda did it.

Opening the door, I said that I'll wait while he gets all of his necessary books from the librarian. "Sierra.", he said in the most calmest, deepest voice making me have butterflies in my stomach. It was just stress. That boy really loved to play with my mind, doesn't he?

"What?"- I said. We both were in front of the library. I let go of the door knob I didn't realise I was holding for so long.

"Could you um maybe bother to come along with me. I have like super bad anxiety." He said pausing in between probably thinking what to say next. "Sorry, about my problems." He said each word after giving a slight pause.

I was really shocked thinking how he said those words so easily in front of me. It wasn't like I had anxiety. I was just unbothered. But looking at him, I felt really bad. His each words expressed the meaning, emotion behind his reason. I had to go inside with him. It's not that deep. But the fact that he has super bad anxiety and is saying it to me was deep.

"Sure."

He was talking with the librarian. While I was reading a book named "Shatter me" by Taherah. Yeah I know how did my school allow this well no actually I brought this from my home.

"Reading books?"

Suddenly I heard a voice. I knew who it was. A mysterious person who doesn't seem to be mysterious at all. He's cute though. Literally perfection. The perfection that maybe lasts at the beginning. There is just something about him. Something that makes me crave his presence more and more. Oh no, I am not in love am I? No, not at all. My mind doesn't deceive me at all. That should not be  a problem. After today, we will never ever maybe have an actual conversation.

"Quiet busy reading?", he asked as I lifted my head to see his face. I saw a small smile coming from his face. "Yeah... yeah tha- that's right", I said awkardly laughing. No just no.

"You remind me of Bridget and Ava", he said.

"How's that?"-I.

"Bridget is a princess. Well about Ava, I just thought she seemed like you.", he said smiling.

"I know right, Sabir.", I said. Gosh that's a beautiful compliment. I mean they all are.

"Oh uh I think I didn't heard the thank you", he said jokingly but this boy's literally flustered.

"I like your personality so much.",Sabir said as he was leaning to the wall, his hand on his head. Smiling like he was a mafia hiding his identity, I don't know, just thought about that haha. I smiled and was about to say something when the librarian came and ask us to kindly leave. Not gonna lie, but I am happy about that. Maybe another boy would make me feel like that? I really thought this time it would be my soulmate. He slowly put the hand he had on his head in his jacket. Putting on a small smile, he said, "Shall we go then?". "Yeah sure", I said trying to sound that I was comfortable with him. Maybe I was. But I wasn't at the same moment. Nevermind.

We went outside the school silently. No one spoke a word. Taking out my mobile I saw 3 missed calls from my mum. Gosh I forgot to tell her. I called her.

"Sierra, where are you? It's been 20 minutes since your school ended. Honey you need to remember things-", she goes. "Mum, I was just doing some school work." Yeah some school work. "Where are you" I said and I saw Sabir looking at me giving a need help pose. No, I don't need. That's why I refused.

"In the parking lot. We're going to your aunts house.", she said. "That's great! I am coming there, byeee" I said and she also said bye from there. I always try to entertain this women. I love this women so much. I would trade anything to be with her. My mother for whom I am really graceful. Everything about her is precious. In the future, if our destiny is to end, I hope she will never forget me. But I hope that future isn't near. My mum is the best. She raised me so I am also best but nothing beats her though.

I looked over at Sabir
. He was really waiting for me to end the call. He wanted to say the goodbye. I love him. Not romantically but I love him a lot. We aren't even friends. I hope he doesn't turn into a snake at the end.

"Done talking?", he said to which I nodded. "Good, then I'll be going, take care.", he says. I hear him say slowly "gosh gonna miss her". But aren't we gonna meet tomorrow. Gosh now I love him even more. He's showing the care.

I went to the parking lot and saw my mother's car. She waved her hand and posed her hand as to show me to get inside of her car. I went in. I took my bag off. She was driving and I was beside her. From my bag, I brought out the makeup bag and quickly applied eyeliner, matte lipstick and eyeliner. Followed by highlighter. My hair was full of volume that day. My hair was looking so good. Anyways I applied my makeup, put my hair down while she was still driving. I felt like I was living the main character moment. I know I am the main character but some validation never hurts.

"What did you do at school today?", my mum said while driving. Mum your daughter tried to approach people and went to the library with a boy who you would have loved to see as your daughter's love. Oh no I am not going to say that haha. Not letting those thought win over. "Mum there was a new boy.", ok you win. My mum is gonna be asking questions. It's not gonna be like is he cute or something. More like, what about his academic reports. You know mum raised a fighter not a lover. However, being a lover won't hurt. Gosh I am thinking strange. "Oh yeah I mean new students would admit wouldn't they. Nothing wrong with that. Anyways, we've reached the house. Let's get out!", she says excited. Maybe she was really happy to see her friend. Best friend more accurately.

"Yes!" I said as I chuckled. Gosh she's too lovely. She's my mother of course. We reached the house, ringing the doorbell and was welcomed by Aunt Gracie. She had been friend with my mum since Grade 5. That equals to around 30+years of friendship if I am not wrong. "Hi! Oh my gosh Sierra, Zoya! It has been so long I saw you. Come inside my house.", she greeted us and sweetly invited us to enter her house. Gosh her house was very beautiful. They were really rich like my parents. However, they have this glam present in their house that screams money. There is this big chandelier. Lightnings and decorations. Literally gorgeous. Rich rich people. I sighed in my mind, if that's a thing.

Me and my mom sat at one of the big sofas. Comfy, I would say. Not better than our house though. Aunt Gracie also sat at one of the sofa. It would be useful to say that my mum and aunt Grace sat in the same side but in those singular sofas while I sat on the one having two. I wouldn't occoupy the whole sofa like no. So I just sat on one side. Usually I would put my one leg above other but this people in front of me ain't my friends. Gosh I am craving brownie. I hope they serve those gooey ones. Now, I would keep my expectations high and hope they would serve this yummy, delicious, out of the universe item.

"How's school going Sierra?", Aunt said after having some conversation with my mum that I didn't bother to listen. I smiled and said, "Everything's good. I have trying to put my absolute effort in improving my academic reports." I have always been craving academic validation but still.

"That's great. How lovely! Anyways would you mind if your mum and I go to my room? Actually you know we talk about things of our time. You'll be bored. How bout you talk with my daughter Nabi?", said Aunt Grace. Wait. She had a daughter and all this time I didn't knew? "Oh that's fine! I didn't know you had a daughter though.", I said putting on a haha like you know kind of an awkard one but not awkard. "Yeah but she's always out of the country for her studies. Oh she's here.", she said as I turned my head to where she was staring and saw a beautiful girl.
