"Assalam-o-alaikum Baba(dad)." Me and Wali both say in unison as we enter the dining area.

Mama and Baba were already sitting waiting for us to come and to start eating. Baba replied us with a smile.

Soon we all dig in to our food. Baba was asking Wali about his university and he was telling him about his projects and presentations while I'm quietly eating my food.

"Baba you know we've got a new neighbour?" Wali says. I look up at him.

Why is he so excited about having a new neighbour?

"Oh..that's good." Baba replied taking the next bite of rice.

"Ji(yes). His name is Harry and he's a great boy." Wali describes the boy who is Harry and mentally I roll my eyes.

"Kabi bulana usko ghar." (Invite him home someday)

I nearly choked after hearing his words. Why does he have to come here? He is a stupid and idiot boy who kisses a girl the next day he joins the new school and by the locker of someone. He is not great at all. Wali just doesn't know him at all.

"Ji zaroor." (Yeah sure.) Wali smiles.

The rest of the dinner passed without even a word about Harry and I thank God for this. I can't here good words about him knowing that he is just an asshole.

Sorry had to say it because that's what he is!

When I entered my room to sleep because I have school tomorrow I gasped at the sight as I was about to close the curtains shut.

A boy was standing in the home next to mine with his back facing him. I could see his bare back. No doubt about who he was but I had no interest in seeing him shirtless so I ignored him and after spreading the curtains I laid down on my bed to sleep.

****

I opened my eyes with a voice calling my name again and again. Of course my Mama was calling me as it was time to get ready for school. I took a shower and dressed myself in a navy blue Kurta with blue jeans. I applied my lip balm after doing my hijab and with that I walked out of my room.

As I reached kitchen I greeted my Mama and then drank a glass of milk as I wasn't in the mood of eating something. My mama begged me to eat something so I ate two or three cookies and then apologised her because I couldn't eat more.

I said goodbye to Wali as usual when he dropped me to school and then entered the school. Ayesha and Nicole met me on the way and I was telling them about my second encounter with that asshole.

"Really? How he smelled?" Nicole asks desperately.

"Okay Nic I didn't notice that because he was so irritating with that smirk on his face as if reminding me what happened with me that morning in school."

"Wait-what?" Ayesha interrupted our little conversation. She was looking straight with wide eyes. Me and Nicole followed her view and that's when our eyes also widened.

That asshole was again kissing the same girl at the same place. My locker.

"No wait-" Nicole says but I ignore her and walk towards the curly haired boy.

"Excuse me?" I say not looking at the dirty scene in front of me.

"Excused." That asshole grinned.

"Who is she Harry?" The girl next to him asks with swollen lips.

Ew!

"No one babe, just my neighbour. Right Pari?" He smirked.

I just glared at him.
