There I was standing in the principal's room, getting almost punished for doing something a teacher asked me to. Our school takes vandalism very seriously. Mrs. Green who saw me painting the art room's wall reported me to the principal. What was really annoying is that I tried to explain that our teacher asked me to do so but, she wouldn't believe a single word I said. It felt really weird, standing there like a criminal who was waiting to know his fate.

I'm the kid who never gets in trouble, does his work and is so quiet that you forget he exists. But, that's the way I like to be unless I'm with the people whom I get along with.

"What did you do?"-Lilac peered at me from the corridor. She was carrying a stack of papers. She is everywhere. "Nothing."-I mouthed. She frowned as she was confused and continued on her way. I let out a sigh. Our principal Mr. Watson took a seat in front of me as I shuffled uncomfortably. I don't want to get detention. Mrs. Mitchell has to bail me out! I explained the whole thing to him and he nodded understandingly. Then he called Mrs. Mitchell to confirm the stuff I told him and then he let me go. What a waste of good thirty minutes!

I ran back down the stairs, school was over. I was exhausted. I saw Lilac waiting for me near the gate. "Sorry, I'm late." "What did you get in trouble for?" "Oh, that was a misunderstanding!"-I exclaimed. "I'll see you later at my home."-I waved to her after we finished our conversation. I have been ditching the boys and our football game for two days now. I knew I couldn't do it today. So, I went straight to the field after school today. We didn't spend a lot of time playing. We were really tired and hungry by the time we finished. "Guys, can we get something to eat."-Niall groaned. "Zayn, your house is the closest, can we just go there for a while."-Harry asked. Of course, I couldn't decline that. It would have been rude, so I agreed. We could grab a bite at my house. My stomach was rumbling. All five of us walked to my house. Liam has been there quite a lot of times but, it was the first time for the others. When my sister opened the door, I saw someone I was already expecting to see there, Lilac. "Looks like you brought some friends home."-Mom smiled at them. We all sat in the living room. I could hear mom in the kitchen. Lilac was sitting between Liam and me. I turned to her and talked for a while. Louis stared at us from across the room.

"Who do we have here?"-Louis asked referring to Lilac. She introduced herself to all the boys and then, we all got into a conversation about school and stuff. Now, it feels like I have social life. I'm not that isolated freak anymore. I'm in a room full of people I like to be with and I'm a part of the conversation- this is all new to me. "There you go."-Mom said placing a tray of snacks and juice on the table. "Thank you, Mrs. Malik."-Lilac smiled. Lilac gets along with new people really well. She even managed to make Louis laugh. He was surprisingly nice to her. When all of them finished up and started going back, Lilac told me that she is going to stay here for a while. I suggested that maybe we could do our homework together. She was up for it.

As we were finishing up our assignments, I bought some of the pancakes I made yesterday and asked Lilac to taste them "They're so good. You made them?"-she questioned, whilst licking her lips. "Yep." "How do you do that?" "Mom taught me actually." "Aww." We finished a big plate of those all on our own. "Can we make some more?"-she asked. After that we went down to the kitchen and I started doing the preparation for making pancakes. "Don't burn the kitchen down, please."-Doniya announced from the other room and Lilac laughed. She's doing the eggs and I'm heating up the other stuff. This is really fun. Everything is fun and adventurous with this girl. I looked at her. She was looking at the stuff, concentrating hard on what she was doing. I love how passionate she is about anything she does. All that matters is the current moment that she is in. I never once saw her worry about tomorrow. That's one of the million things I like about her.

"Help me, don't just stand there."-She rolled her eyes. I chuckled as I worked. After a lot of effort, our pancakes came up and they looked golden and crisp. I could tell she was very happy with what we made. "Let's add some maple syrup and top it with jelly!"-she said excitedly. "How about chocolate chips?"-I suggested. "Yes, yes put them in too." We carried the plates to my room. I decided to be a kind person and offered one to my sister. "I'm impressed with those cooking skills of yours, chef"-she smiled as I pretended to take a bow. Then, I went up to my room and savored yet another bunch of tasty pancakes with Lilac. "We did a good job."-she spoke after eating the last bits. "I agree."

See what happens? We decided to do homework together but, ended up cooking. Oh, the things this girl makes me do! But, I love it. "I think we should study."-she said as if she read my mind. I pulled out my books and sat down with her. She looked down at her book and started writing something down. I couldn't help but, get distracted by how cute she looked with her eyebrows knitted together and lips pursed. I'm not sure about my feelings for her but, whatever they are; they just make me want to spend every minute of mine with her. Maybe this is the feeling you get when you feel complete. When you think that you have found whatever you were looking for; a friend or maybe more than that. I didn't want to confuse myself further so I got to work straight away.

After we completed our assignments I let her take a tour of my house. Not that it was very big but, she wanted to look around. She said my place had this warm feeling that she loves. I'm not sure what that means but, if that makes her stay for some more time here I'll like it. But, that didn't happen. She left in the evening and I felt pretty bummed, not sure what to do when I'm alone. There were days when I couldn't wait to come home and just be alone. Lilac Hudson does turn your life upside-down, believe it or not.
