The Girl Unknown

CHAPTER 3

*After we met for he first time, Flashback*

"Hi,Lily! Quentin here" I got a text from Quentin for the first time. It was evening of the very same day that we had met and he had taken my number.

I instantly replied, " Hey Quentin! How have you been?"

"Had a really good day Neighbour!"

"Oh! That's really good neighbour."

"How was your day?" He was just trying to be very formal with me and so was I.

"It was good! Same as yours. It was really good to meet you!" I wanted to say I loved it, but then I thought....better not.

"Oh! Isn't it strange, that we live so close, but have never met each other?? I've seen you many times but have always wondered that, You look so pretty outside school. You look different in school." He texted.

"Umm.. ya? Okay! But I'm not PRETTY!" Stressing on not being pretty.

"Who said you aren't?? You're very pretty."

Mom had called me down for dinner at that time. I wanted to continue talking, but 'Mom is Mom.'

"I'll catch up with you later. I'm sorry Moms calling for dinner. Bye. Good Night" I texted with a heavy heart.

"Yes, Sure. Same here. Will get back to you later. Bye. Take care Lily."

That was the end of our first chat. I smiled at the thought of it, but I didn't really know whether this new found friendship would continue or not....

That night I could not sleep. It was pretty late, and all I could think of was, Quentin and the interesting day I had. Me being me, decided to stalk him. I searched for him on all social networking sites. We were not even Facebook friends. We were so unknown to each others. Two strangers. The feelings were increasing and getting serious, but it was all wrong. It had just been a day since we had met! I whispered to my stupid heart "No! You're stupid! It's wrong." I said it, but I didn't mean it!

I finally went off to sleep with Quentin on mind.

"Lily!! Lily! Wake up dear its too late." I heard mom, I was in such a deep sleep......dreaming......

"LILY!" She stormed.

"Ya!Yes!" I woke up with a jerk.

"What is wrong with you dear?? its ten-thirty and you're still on your bed?"

"Oh!Ya I'm up" I said.

I was up and fresh by the time it was eleven o'clock.

I checked my phone and waiting for me there was Quentin's message.

"Hi! Good morning pretty neighbour."

I could not stop blushing.

He sent the message at 9:20 and I was replying at 11:02!!!!

"Hi! Handsome Neighbour." I replied.

In around a minute I got a call from Quentin. I picked up, surprised.

"Hi, Lily. Morning.!"

"Hi, Quentin! "

"You woke up so late?"

"Ya! I wasn't getting sleep last night so.." I could not complete my sentence because he said-

" So you decided to stalk me and yes, I did accept your friend request."

For a second it was embarrassing, but then he said "Its okay! I stalk you every night Lily."

"Okay?." I really did not know what to say.

"Okay!" He replied.

"Okay.."

"Okay..."

"Okay..." I said again.

"Omg! Your such a flirt"

I bursted out laughing.

"Is this some 'THE FAULT IN OUR STARS' sequence?!?!"

"Yes." I was still laughing and so was he.

"Yes."He said.

"Yes." I said again.

"You flirt so much. My god."

I had no other option to just laugh till I was out of breath.

"Okay.Okkay. Jokes aside. What is the plan fortoday?"

"Plan? Today I have to go out and get my self a licence"

"Omg! Your going to get a licence. I need one too."

"Come along." I did not really mean it, but just.

"I wish but we need an appointment for that right?"

"Yes." I said.

"Get yours done and let me know what exactly it is? Okay?" He said.

"Okay." I replied.

"Okay."

"Okay."

"Okay. I need to go. Ill see you later, and.... " He said.

"And..?"

"Oh god, Your such a cute little flirt." He laughed. I blushed.

"Okay."

"Okay then, Byee." He said.

"Bye." I replied.

He hung up.

I kept my phone down. Smiled, and dressed myself for the Appointment.

*At the licence centre*

I sat on the chair, Pulled my phone out and started talking to my friend Drew, who had texted after very long time.

Just when I was texting, my name was called out.

"Lily Jacobsen!" Called a policemen.

"Yes." I said alarmed.

"Your turn dear."

"Yes."

I collected all my documents and walked inside the room.

I went through the processing and it nearly took up my entire day!!

When I went back home I had 9 messages from Quentin which were like..

"12:20- Lily! hi :)

1:45-Oh i just remembered your at the licence office

2:57- Are you home?

3:15- Hey! You there?

3:33- its been a long time where are you?

3:49-Text me when your back! :)

4:44- Lily?

5:02-are you there?

5:30- Ive been texting you since long? where are you?"

Oh my gosh.

"Hey.. Quentin I'm so sorry it actually took me so much time there and my phone was in my bag. And there was such a huge crowd I could not hear the sound and I was busy getting my documents verified, so sorry." I replied.

In seconds the reply came, "Home?Safe?"

"Yes, I'm home, Totally safe and really tired."

"Okay. Take care and sleep tight Pretty neighbour, Don't stress and don't stalk tonight. You need sleep and rest." He replied.

"Okay."

"Okay. Bye. Good night dear."

"Okay. Goodnight Quentin."

I smiled as I kept my phone down and slowly closed my eyes with a bright smile.
