I was walking through the streets of Brooklyn for one last time because tomorrow is my first day of senior year maybe I might not get a chance. New country, new city, new school, new life.

While I was wandering through Downtown Brooklyn , thoughts were pouring through my mind I mean how did my life turned upside down in fraction of seconds. And I ended up here in Brooklyn, New York, United States Of America.

While random thought session was continuing in my mind I was about to cross the road but stopped when I saw a crowd outside a Cafè, half of the crowd were teenagers, girls were squealing as if they saw Harry Styles inside. I approached the crowd and asked one of the girls who was around my age.

"Why are so many people gathered here, is there a celebrity inside?", I enquired and she turned to me with excitement.

"Oh My God Oh My God I can't believe it. I can't believe he's here, he never mentioned about coming here in his stories", she said or more like screamed in one breathe infact she said everything about 'him' except telling me who he actually is.

" Umm Okay ,what's his nam..." before I could complete my question the girl run passes the door including others who were waiting for 'him' .

Atleast I know he is a 'he'. Something is better than nothing. So I turned and was about to leave but I suddenly crashed on to a hard wall that's what I thought at first but after a while I realized that it's a human wall or else I could say a muscular human wall.
I looked at him and was about to apologize but he had some other plans.

"Watch out, pretty girl ", he snapped and looked at me.

"YOU watch out, Pretty Boy", I replied with the same tone and looked at him. Why is he wearing sunglasses at 6 pm in the evening. Who the heck does that. Since he was wearing sunglasses I couldn't figure out his expressions and on top of it he is wearing one of those hip-hop cap with a scarf rolled around his neck, suddenly he smirked and then it turned into a smile, the way his dimples popped on both the cheeks made me melt into the ground. We were staring at each other for like forever.

Suddenly we heard a car honking at us and a guy in the driver's seat was waving and calling him. He released his hold from my arms, great I didn't even realized that he was holding me.

The way he was rushing towards the car looked like he was running away, more like hiding. Maybe, that's why he bumped into me. He was in a hurry. The car starts and just like that he disappeared like a fart in the air. So far so good America.

It's the D Day. I checked my school essentials for the 100th time since we didn't have binders, planner, folder, loose leaf paper / assignment sheets, calculator, highlighters, spiral notebooks ,etc...etc. back in my school in India. I hung my backpack, saw myself in the mirror for one last time and left the hostel.

Walk from hostel to school wasn't too long since the school is just four blocks away. I entered the school office and got my list of curriculum for the senior year or 12th grade and the most important and exciting thing we don't have in schools back home- our very own "personal" locker.

I wiped my fake happy tears while I approached my locker in a hall which had lockers on both the sides. I stayed there, admired it for a minute and went ahead to open it. Open up. It's my first day God damn. So far so good. Hashtag Life Is Beautiful.

This God damn locker code. I've been trying to open with the given code/number provided to me but it's not opening and then suddenly an angel appears.

"May I help you ?", I heard a girl and turned towards her. Wait a minute I've seen her somewhere.

"Yes.Thank You", I said and moved aside.

"No problem", she said while I just starred her like a creep trying to remember where I've seen her.

And then I remembered .
