listen to this song if you want. it's very good. 

"Good morning, Harry." Max, my neighbour greets me and I smile politely at him.

"Good morning to you too."

"Have you seen our new neighbours?" He asks me and I look at him confused. We have new neighbours?

"Uh...no I haven't. When did they come?" I yawn and I cover my mouth embarrassed. It's quite early anyway.

Max chuckles. "I think it was on Monday. They live in the flat next to yours."

"Oh, I was in Cheshire last week."

"Well, that explains why you haven't seen them." He states.  "By the way, what are you doing up at..." He trails off and takes a glance at his watch. "...Seven in the morning? Don't you work in the evenings?"

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep so I decided to go for a walk. I have nothing better to do." I shrug and he nods. 

"Okay, Harry. Have a nice day." He smiles and goes to the lift while he carries his blazer and bag in his hands. 

I take out my earphones and plug them in my ears as 'Hold back the river' plays on shuffle. I decide to take the stairs. I don't look in front of me. It's too early to face the sunlight. I take each step slowly as I search in my backpack for some money to buy something for my hunger. Suddenly my body stops as I come in contact with another one. 

'Oh, I'm so sorry." I hear a delicate female voice saying in panic, when I take my earphones off . 

"It's okay." I say and look down at the coins that fell on the floor. I bend down to retrieve them and a hand touches mine. I immediately stop my moves and look up. A female beauty with light brown skin and dark curly hair is in front of me looking me in the eyes. Her eyes have a dark brown colour and it doesn't have much difference with her pupils. I find it beautiful. 

"I'm Serena." She smiles at me and extends her hand for a handshake. 

I'm suddenly knocked out of my day dream and I extend my hand to take hers. "I'm Harry." I say and her eyes glow. "I'm sorry I bumped onto you. I was looking at the ground." 

"It's okay. Don't apologize." She gets up and dusts off her trousers. "I'll see you around I guess."

"Do you live here?" 

"Yeah, I moved in last Monday." Oh, so she's my neighbour. That's just great. I catch myself smiling at the idea. 

"Oh, so you're my neighbour." I point at her and she looks at me surprised.

"We're neighbours? That's great." 

"Yeah, I live next to you." I put the coins in my jeans pocket and I place my backpack in my back.  "What are you doing here at seven in the morning?" 'Great Harry, you don't sound weird. At all. Great first impression.' I facepalm myself mentally.

"Oh, I was going to work but I forgot my phone and I was getting back to the flat to get it." 

"I get it. I better go. I don't want to make you late for work." 

"Okay, bye Harry." She waves at me and I wave back.

"Bye, Serena. Have a nice day." 

I walk out of the building and I inhale Manchester's polluted air. 

She's so different. So beautiful.
