Three Knocks

Chapter 21

Hailey's POV:

On next days things started get better and better between me and Charlotte. She moved sit next to me again and I accepted her friend with us too. Her name was Tanya if I remember right.

She was the last year student like us too. Her family had moved here from Hungary when she was 7 years old. Even she had spent over 10 years here already, I was able to hear a light Hungarian accent while she spoke.

So we sat together in almost every class. Me, Charlotte and Tanya. We became like a new girl squad, the good versio of Ashley and her friends. But because Tanya didn't have so many classes with us, we spent most of the time just me and Charlotte. Like in good old times, I thought.

It was history class and our teacher had given us a task to go check from the Internet some information about Battle of Normandy. However we weren't on those pages at all but scrolled other sites. "Would you like to go watch that new movie where Ryan Gosling is?" I asked for Charlotte when an ad about it hit on my eyes on my phone screen.

She looked me like a dumb. "Don't ever ask me about that kind of question because it shouldn't me on that form ever. Hell yes" she almost yelled the last part which made Mr. Rower raise his gaze behind his table.

"I mean, hell yes you brave soldiers of France" Charlotte hurried to correct and smiled back to our teacher. Mr. Rower just shook his head and went back to his work without giving a warning to Chatlotte about using inappropriate language.

"I'll come pick you up on 7pm tomorrow" I told to Charlotte before she opened the door of their house. "Okay, see you then" she smiled and I smiled back. I continued my way back home and when I was few corners away there I noticed a black car in front of our house.

Whose car was it, I thought. The register of the car wasn't familiar when I got closer to it and I started get scared. What if it was some robber or murderer who was inside now telling to my mom give her all moneys and jewellery to him. Or her because to be honest the world today was full of crazy people, women and men.

I opened slowly the front door and listened a while before I stepped in. I took off my shoes and soon met my brother's face when he was carrying some boxes downstairs. "Oh well hello, sister" he smiled but I could tell it was a fake one. I rolled my eyes to him and went look what he was carrying.

There was some of his old stuffs, comic books, clothes, pillows in those boxes. Seemly he had came to get his last things from here. "Oh hey, sweetheart" I heard mom's voice close to me. I turned my head over the voice and noticed my mom and a box on her hands.

"Derek came here to get his things. He has found a really good apartment in the central. He had some pictures of it.. Derek, would you like to show those pictures of your apartment to your sister?" mom yelled to my brother upstairs. He came a minute later a big box on his hands.

"Oh, yeah sure" he mumbled and took his phone out of his back pocket. "It's a two-room apartment" he told while showed pictures for me. "Where do you need it when you don't even have a girlf-"

"Your big brother has found a girl" mom appeared next to Derek suddenly and mixed his hair. I looked him shocked. "Oh wow.." I mumbled. I would have ever thought that kind of annoying person like my brother would make any girl fall in love with him but seemly I was wrong.

"Thank you for huge congratulations, sis" he rolled his eyes and took again one box on his hands and started carry it in his car. "Oh, should I have congratulated you or something?" I chuckled for him softly. "Well, congratulations then about getting a girl. I think that it was already a time to that"

He looked me and laughed softly. "Okay, that sounded so fake but thank you still" he said and closed the door of his backseats before he heated back inside take the last boxes. I helped and carried one box too in his car.

He thanked and hugged my mom last time before he moved to his car. "Remember treat mom good then, sis. You're the host now" he said and I nodded.

However I was sure that I will see his annoying face still too much when he come back for Christmas dinners and birthday parties et cetera. And maybe he will bring his girlfriend with him too. I was kind of excited of that part, I wanted see what kind of girl he had caught.

I imagined that it must be some pimple face like my brother was too even I hoped that she would be a pretty and intelligent girl who has studied in university. Someone who I could take as my role model.

Yeah, I really look forward to meet his girlfriend, I couldn't wait
