My Cute Neighbor

Chapter 6

"Today's the day I enroll you Bella!", Mom exclaimed after we ate breakfast this morning.

"Yeah Mom!", I said excitedly.

Mom's gonna enroll me to the same school I've been in for the past few years, Sparksberry High. I don't know where they'd get that name. Thomas is gonna enroll there too so I'm a little excited, or super excited I guess.

"Get ready, change your clothes and in a few minutes, we're going to Sparksberry High!", Mom cried out as we went upstairs.

I wore a blouse with a few ruffles on it, skinny jeans, and flats and put pressed powder and light eyeshadow on. I took my bodybag, put personal and important things in it and went downstairs.

"Mom I'm ready.", I told Mom.

"Okay. I'm going to change my clothes in a few minutes.", she said as she ran upstairs.

"Woohoo! I'm ready!", William exclaimed as he went downstairs.

"William stop acting like a child.", I told him.

"I am a child. Duh.", William said and rolled his eyes. Wow.

William wanted to tag along even though he was enrolled two days ago in Waterbury Elementary, so we agreed because we're going to the mall after.

"You ready kids?", Mom asked after going downstairs.

"Yeah..", William and I said in unison.

"Well if that's the case, let's get in the car.", Mom said then smiled.

William and I went inside the car while Mom locked the front door. Then she started the car and we traveled for 10 minutes.

"And we're here!", Mom said as she turned the engine off. We get out of the car and went inside.

There are procedures in enrolling. We have to fill in some papers and we move to the next window and fill in some papers again. It was exhausting.

The next window is where we claim the books and notebooks and other school stuff. They were heavy so Mom told me and William to put it in the car. Good thing we didn't trip on the way because there were a couple of people rushing and walking. But I haven't seen Thomas yet.

In the next window there was a line so Mom told us to look for a bench and sit for a while. I saw a bench and an armchair nearby. I was about to sit in the armchair when William ran to it and sat first. He stuck his tongue out at me. I decided not to get mad at him because I'm exhausted.

I looked at the bench. There was a boy sitting there and it's my age.I headed towards the bench and sat a few spaces apart from him because I don't know him. I cannot see his face because he's writing on a paper I think is a part of the enrolling procedure and his back is facing me. All I can see is that he's wearing a dark blue hoodie and has light-brown hair that's a bit messy, which reminds me of Thomas. So I didn't bother to ask who he is because I'm tired, and decided to open Wattpad on my phone and read some stories.

I saw a pen rolling onto my direction and stop in front of me. I picked it up. Whose ballpen is this? I took a deep breath and poked the back of the boy beside me. " Um...Is this yours, by any chance?", I asked even though he's still facing my back.

He turned around, looking at what I'm referring to. I saw his face. When I saw his angelic face, his chocolate eyes, and his plump red lips, I knew who he was.

"T-Thomas?", I stuttered.

"Oh Bella! I didn't know that it was you who sat beside me.", he said with a smile.
