It Was Always You...

Chapter 1:

Cool air calmed my nerves as I passed through the green trees and a lake. I was exhausted but the coolness that filled my lungs made me feel so fresh and alive. I ran until I saw the exit of the park. It felt like a very fresh start to the day. I walked home still listening to some pop music. I was going through the list of some songs when I heard some noise. I looked around to see two boys kicking the ball and fighting over the shot. I shook my head with a smile until the ball flew towards my face. My smile disappeared and a frown took over my features.

"You did that!" Screamed the younger boy.
"

Liar, it was you!" Said a boy probably my age. How childish could he be.
"Apologize already or you're not getting the ball!" I broke the commotion and poked myself in their little blame game. I was alright, I mean the hit wasn't that bad and the guys looked kind of sweet, so it was cool. They both stopped fighting and looked at me impishly. I raised my brows still waiting for an apology.
"I-I..I mean, we-we didn't mean to hit you!" Rectified the elder one on being hit by the younger lad. I doubt who's the elder one now.
"But you did!" I huffed, enjoying polite and shy responses from him.
"I'm sorry!" He smiled a full smile. Cute, I thought and cleared my throat.
"It's alright, the hit wasn't all that bad so it's cool but be careful next time!" I told him.
"Why did insist on an apology then?" He asked confused.
"It was fun watching you get so worked up on the situation...you were so nervous, so shy!" I stated with a smile making the younger one giggle, I raised my brow at him and he shut up.
"That's not true. I'm not nervous!" He tried to cover up making me laugh.
"It's alright, I've that effect on boys!" I winked at him, making him blush. He was so cute! I shook my head when the younger one told him to stop blushing in a small voice, making his brother swear under his breath.
"Are you new over here?" I found myself asking.
"Yes, we just shifted here a few weeks back. Dad keeps getting transferred due to his work. We'll be here for at least 2 years." Said the younger one.
"Cool. I'll see you two around then! Well, I'm Zara!" I brought my hand forward.
"I'm Zac and this is my brother, Harry!" Said the younger one and shook my hand. He seemed too confident and cocky for his age. Yeah, he looked like he was 10-11 years.
"See you around guys!" I smiled and walked towards my house not before hearing Zac's voice mumble a 'she was hot and sweet' and a sound of someone being hit, Zac ofcourse. I smiled. They'll be fun to hang out with, I thought.
I reached home and found mom baking some cookies. I tiptoed towards her.
"So, you're back finally!" She said. I pouted. She always caught me.
"This is not fair!" I dragged my voice in a babyish voice. She laughed her sweet laugh.
"Want some cookies?" She asked.
"Is that even a question? Hell, yes!" I said happily, grabbing a few cookies and stuffing my mouth with it.
"Language!" She pointed, I ignored her.
"Good morning Zara!" Dad came and sat on his usual chair, a newspaper in his hand, his eyes glued to the paper. I rolled my eyes and saw mom bring him his normal breakfast of omelette with sunny side up, some toast and a glass of orange juice. That's what he has been eating ever since I remember.
"Don't you get bored of having this as breakfast every single day?" I asked as I grabbed a few more cookies.
"You know I like things in order and follow my routine without any changes in them. Besides your mother makes it so delicious!" He looked up at her with so much admiration. It was true my mother was a gem, she made any food look like they were brought out straight from those food magazine that we see; reason why she is a chef cum owner of a local cafe a few blocks down the lane. She has no plans of expanding it even though she has a great scope. She was always more of a homemaker and this was only on my dad's encouragement and pushing that she established this cafe some 5-6years back and was doing well. My dads an investment banker, so we'd kind of a good life over here with both of them earning well and all.
"We'll leave now!" Both of them said as they walked out with their keys in hand. I waved them as they drove off in different directions.
I'll also go and take a bath. It was a lazy Saturday and unluckily my parents had to work on a Saturday. I'll just go and hang out with my friends then.
I got up and walked up the stairs and towards the bathroom. My house was a nice cozy place with stairs going up towards the 2 master bedrooms on one side of the stairs, and 2 normal rooms with bathroom outside the rooms in the other side. The living room and the kitchen were by the entrance of the house. We also had a pool at the backside and a lawn outside the house in the front. We had several plants there and an apple tree too. My sister Kelly and I liked gardening as past time and we'd planted those and taken care of them for several years. Now that we both got busy, we'd a gardener to do that for us. In the basement of our house, we had a parking space and a game room that Kelly and I attacked whenever our friends came or when we were bored.
I looked in the mirror as I began brushing my teeth. Yes, I prefer brushing after having my breakfast. I pushed back my barbie doll flicks that crowned my forehead, giving me a more younger look and pinned them up tidily and wore a shower cap, not wanting to wet them. My skin shone from the clean up routine I usually follow every alternate night. My lips were full and light pink and my eyes round and black with a heavy eye lids that looked made up whenever I blinked. My skin was light toned but not too white in color, oily and prone to pimples and so I had to follow my skin care routine daily to look good and avoid pimples. I was kind of slim, not skinny though. But I did have thighs and hips as my problem area. I didn't like them as they made my look a little out of shape. I didn't have a heavy chest, though I would like a little more perk over there, I wasn't too obsessed or crazed over it. My hairs were brownish black and reached my waist. They were naturally straight and smooth.
I finished brushing and took a long warm bath in the bath tub. I enjoyed bathing once I entered the bathroom but getting me inside the bathroom was a task for my mother.
I came out of my bathroom and took out a pink tank top from my closet along with a knee length flowy white skirt with floral prints over it, that would take away some attention off of my thighs. I looked around my room that still had the comforter and bedsheets in a mess and sighed. I wish Kelly was still here and not at some university outside of this town. She might have taken care of all this. I'm such a lazy arse! I got to working soon. I'll call my friends later on, I thought as I know my mother will not like all this untidiness here.
