They were still chatting about me . Mean time ,the burgers which we've ordered were served . I just stared at my burger and had a little bite .

" It's our time to play now !" Watson grinned . I could see the funky look on their faces . They didn't actually talk but I could hear them ! Their looks and smiles are enough !

" How do you guys know each other ? " asked Speedy with his same passive stance but with a funny smile .

" We were pretty good friends in our high school and he's also my first friend in Sydney ,"she tells with excitement in her tone

'As if she had any friends rather than me ' I murmur . Come to think of me , the same goes for me as well ! We moved to Sydney when I was around 11 years old . Everything was new , everyone was new .

*** My 1st day in Sydney ***

We just moved there when my new school was about to reopen in a day . I wasn't the type of person who gets 'too interactive with the people at the 1st sight ' back then . But once I get connected , I wouldn't disconnect , no matter what ! Our parents were busy arranging our house , while my little brother and I were playing catches in our backyard , he wasn't good at that , how ever he was better than his classmates . I used to mock him for his clumsiness . He gets easily provoked .

" When would you Learn to catch a ball , tiny tots ! " I provoke .

It was a real fun to watch his furious little face . He held the ball with his little hands and hurled it with all his might . Huh ! That was the throw which brought a change in my life . It smashed a glass window of a house next door . But when it comes to escaping , my brother was pretty fast . He vanished with in no time .

I saw a man looking at me through the shattered window, his looks ,scared the hell outta of me . But I wasn't a scardy cat . I wanted to apologise him and take my cricket ball . I went near his house and was about to ring the bell .

The door got opened before I could ring the bell !!! I did see the shadow of the man overwhelming me in the bright day light . However I tried to look at him . He was gigantic and hairy , I searched his face to look at his black berry eyes , I never saw anyone with such beard for real back then !

" Is it you , who smashed our window ? " he asked in a demanding way.

" Yes sir ! Actually I was playing and my brother ... a little brother... ,hurled the ball and ....!!!" I babbled .

' What's so scary , just apologise ,' says my subconscious .

" Sorry sir ! It was all my fault ," I apologise raising my head to face him .

" What makes you so happy, frightening people ,daddy !! " said a girl in a complaining way .

I turned in the the direction of her ; messy brown hair , white skin tone , browny eyes .

She handed over my cricket ball with a smile which surprised me and my eyes lit up and I had it .

" So, do you like chocolates kid ! " , he surprised me this time ,

" why wouldn't kids like chocolates ! " he answered the question himself with a hefty laugh and took my smile as an approval . He marched in sighing me to come in .

" I'm Maria imogen , " smiled the girl . She was of my age .

" Alex ," I smiled . That's how things started for us.

And thats how it all started.. She was quite an odd one,but u may ask why I didn't leave her , because her oddity was what seemed even to me. Quite complicated..

We chatted for a bit and my new friends now have all the material they'll ever need to embarrass me..

To be honest I missed her too , we chatted a bit until the girls finally bid us a goodbye as they had some party and only the cheering team was invited along with all the so called cool guys and rich kids I guess.. I didn't exactly know . Marsh had to be there as well but he rather chose to be with us
