Chapter 31- Boy next Door
Melanie

Dylan drops me and Alex at our place and leaves as soon as he does that. He didn't talk to me for the whole drive to my home. I didn't know what was wrong with him, he was acting strange. It was like he was hurt, but in reality, I was.

"Alex go and freshen up, I'll start making lunch." I said and she nods. I put on my apron and pick up a knife, acting like a professional chef.

Alright alright, when I cook I act like it's my own culinary show and start talking to myself, as if I was teaching people how to cook, and if I asked y'all who does this at home, you'd be lying if you said you didn't.

I decided to make lasagna and remove all the ingredients from the over head cupboards. I started slicing and dicing and mixing when the bell rang.

Who's disturbing this professional chef at a time like this?

I open the door and stare at guy. Stop being creepy Mel, greet him. "Hi, but do I know you?"

He gave me a bright, toothy grin. Woah his teeth are so bright it could actually make me blind.

Over exaggeration Mel, over exaggeration.

"Hi, I'm your new neighbor, my name's Christopher." He extended his hand, and I shook it. "Just like I told you, I'm new here and I just moved in, and I need to know where the supermarket is. If you don't mind, would you show me. I mean it's fine If you don't want-"

"Hold your horses Christopher, I'll show you where it is. Until then why don't you join us for lunch?" I ask,

What? I'm supposed to be a helpful neighbor, and who wouldn't invite a hot boy next door for food?

I'm not a hoe, I'm being nice and I still like Dylan so don't judge.

"Are you sure? I mean I don't even know you." He says and scratches the back of his neck shyly.

"Then this is a great time to get to know your neighbor, isn't it?"

"Yeah."

I move aside so he would enter. "Your house is really pretty." He compliments and looks around like a fascinated kid in a carnival.

"Thanks." I reply, "Christopher why don't you enter the kitchen and take a seat? I'll go call my sister." I say and show him the kitchen before going upstairs.

"Alex, lunch is ready." I enter her room and announce, but of course she was wearing her headphones. "

I remove her headphones, "Alex, lunch is ready." I repeat, "oh and we have a guest so please act normal." I said, confusing her.

We both walk back downstairs and take our seat, "is this how you normally dress at home?" Christopher asks, making me look down at my clothes and blush from embarrassment.

I'm still wearing the apron.

"Oops, I totally forgot." I say and stood up to remove my apron.

I remove the lasagna from the oven and serve it hot on everyone's plates. I get a cold drink from the fridge and pour it in their glasses before sitting back down.

We all start our lunch and Christopher spoke, "feels like happiness in disguise of food just exploded in my mouth. This is delicious-"

"-Melanie." I said because I read his expression which said "I don't even know her name!" and he mentally face palmed.

I can read minds people. No I can't.

"So Melanie, which school do you go?" He starts the conversation,

"Rosewill High School, and you?"

"I was thinking of applying there but then it's too late because it's mid semester, so I can't."

"Oh right." I agree.

He looks at Alex, "is this your sister?" He asks,

"No shit I am." Alex replies which made me glare at her.

This girl can't be nice or what?

"Sorry about that. She's just like that."

"Oh it's fine, my sister would love to be friends with someone like her."

"Your sister? Is she with you?" I ask surprised,

"Yeah, she's at home now, because she didn't wanna meet "new people." He quotes. I nod in understandingly. Even Alex was like that in the beginning.

"What does she do home alone?" I ask,

"Make beats." This statement right here, made Alex raise her head and turn it to Christopher's direction. Now she is interested.

"Your sister does what?" She asks,

"She makes beats all the time." He answered,

"Looks like you found your long lost twin Alex." I said,

"Can I meet your sister? Like right now? I wanna hear her beats and maybe compare hers to mine." Alex said and he nods.

After we finished our food, Christopher called his sister, Rebecca at our home. Once Alex a Rebecca started talking, they became inseparable. They were literally like long lost twins.

"So Christopher, shall we leave?"

"Yes we shall."
