A Toy - Bill Kaulitz

New place, New start

Finally, I thought as I stepped out of the plane to a new country after a long flight from England to Germany. This will be my home for the Next year or two, I thought to myself as I glanced around the city.

"Do you need a ride" a taxi driver who suddenly appeared out of nowhere questioned me as I left the airport and tried to navigate myself throught the busy streets to my new apartment, I stop to my tracks to look at him wondering how he knew to speak English to me. He had black hair and dirty clothes, so I thought to myself he's probably a foreigner himself trying to make money with an easy to get job. "uhh.. no thank you" I said in an awkward manner and faked a smile. "It's probably smart there's a serial killer on the lose right now" he smiled back assuring me he's friendly, I didn't know how to reply to that, it was a weird thing to say to a complete stranger. I ignored his staring and continued to walk, I knew my Appartment wasn't far away from the airport.

To my surprise the taxi driver drove slowly next to me, I ignored it for a while untill it made me feel uncomfortable. "Can you stop following me with your car" I turned to him bit pissed "I just thought it might not be safe to walk alone here because of what I told you" he said calmly. I was pretty pissed at him even though he had done nothing wrong, he just made me uncomfortable though I'm pretty sure he just tried to protect me. "My Appartment is only a few blocks away so piss off" I snapped at him and continued my walk through the street. He kept following me, keeping an eye on me. I just ignored him until I finally got to the Appartment building, then I only glanced at him and walked in. He just sat in the car infront of the building as I got inside.

I climbed the stairs to my apartment and locked the door as I went in. Looking throught the window I saw him looking back at me then a bit down, and then back at me. He waved at me and took off. I felt better now that he was gone. But I couldn't shake the feeling of him looking at me so weirdly before he left. But I shook it off as him being just another weirdo that just happened to be somewhat attracted to me, I mean even in england a lot of guys were attracted to me. Well can I blame them, it's not like you can choose who you're attracted to. I feel as people were pretty attracted to my blonde wavy hair, my hair isn't naturally really blond but I bleach it to keep it this way. Some people even think it's natural because they've never seen me with darker hair. As I tried to forget about the taxi driver I started unpacking all my clothes and other things I brought with me, like for example hair brush and other things. I hadn't had the time to buy food yet so I figured I'd unpack and go to the grocery store to buy myself a microwave pizza, I was too hungry to make food you see.

I made sure to grab my keys and wallet before I walked outside again. Taking my phone out to see where the closest grocery stor is I saw a text message from my friend Ashley who has lived here for the past 6 years already.

It said: "hey Rose, have you arrived here yet? I remembered your flight was supposed to be here at 11 a clock"

She moved here when her mom got a well paying job as a Real estate agent from the same city. She speaks German fluently it's like her second langauge. We were best friends back in England and we still are, we just haven't met face to face for a long time.
I told her I was going to the grocery store to buy food and she said she'd come with me.

As I arrived to the grocery store, I stood by the doors texting Ashley.

"Hey are U soon here I just arrived"

She didn't even get to read it before she arrived. "Oh my gosh hii!!" She almost screamed I turned to her smiled and hugged her "it's been so long!" I stared into her eyes and motioned her to go in with me. As we got in through the doors I noticed how quiet it was, it was about 1 PM so people were probably at work. Not us though, we were on summer break still, I just thought it would be nice to get used to new surroundings without school giving me extra stress. We navigated ourselves through the store and small talked the entire time. As I grabbed 2 microwave pizzas and noticed Ashley looking at me in a judging way. "What can't I have easy to make food one day?" I laughed, in which she replied "you just haven't changed" she smiled as she said that, I had never been a health freak I was more of like comfort seeking. I didn't wanna do much extra work for food if I could get it easier, especially if Im hungry.

As I looked into the direction of all alcoholic drinks I noticed something very familiar. Black hair, and dirty clothes. He noticed me and started to walk towards me, Ashley looked at me and glanced at the guy. "I heard hes a weirdo, he apparently sexually harassed one girl once" she whispered in my ear, if that was the case I'm happy I didn't take his offer for a ride.

"Hi girls" he smiled and to me he didn't seem that threatening now that I saw him clearly up close. I was pretty sure that things about him were just rumors but it's better to be safe. "We've met before, right Rose?" I don't remember telling him my name so I just stared at him blankly for a while. "Actually.. i-i need to go so have a nice day" I probably seemed a bit scared to the outside, which I was, but I didn't wanna show it. As I stated to walk away from him he grabbed by arm to stop me. "Hey I haven't even introduced myself to you" I broke off of him and sighed "well.. introduce yourself then.." I just wanted to get home as fast as possible. He held out his hand for a handshake and said "I'm Bill, Bill Kaulitz, wanna go eat dinner someday Rose?" I stared at him a bit discusted " hell no" I spat at him and left the store as fast as I could with Ashley.
