Always You

.3.

The day ends as usual and Haz drops me at my house.

I take out the keys from my pocket and step inside my house. Sam is sitting with mobs doing their homework or just pretending to do their homework.

"I'm going to take a shower", I tell Sam as I take out my shoes.

She stands and walk towards me. She takes my bag from my hands and says "You need me to come with you?"

"What? No!"

"Then why are you announcing that!" She tells me in a sarcastic way.

As I walk towards the dining table, I feel something strange. But what? Then I look back and forth in the room and realized what was strange. Mobs didn't say a word to me when I entered. I go into the kitchen and ask Sam to come with me.

"What happened to her? she looks so sad" I ask Sam while staring at Mobs.

"It's none of your business", I didn't expect that as an answer.

"That's rude", i say when I pick up a water bottle.

"It's girl's problem you'll not understand", maybe I would if she tells me about it "Now go take a shower"

"Okay okay", I tell her after drinking some
water.

Not wanting to be there the other minute I go to my room and take off my clothes, i get in the shower and feel like in the heaven when warm droplets of water fall on my body.

I was just enjoying the shower when I hear someone ringing the bell. I hear Sam opening the door and try to figure out whose that by the voices but I guess I'm just too bad at it. I quickly put on my clothes after getting out of the shower and run downstairs to see who is there. As I reach down the hall i see Sam and Mobs sitting at one side of the couch and the guest on the other side. I can only see her back.

Wait Mobs is laughing. Wow this guest must be some friend of theirs. I was just admiring both of them laughing and giggling, chatting with their friend when Sam noticed me and yelled "Jack!"

The guest turned around. The new girl. What is she doing here? Did she follow me or something? Is she Sam's friends? The questions on my mind were just not stopping to arise.

"You? !",we both yelled at the same time.

"What are you doing here?" The new girl asked me.

"I live here so The question is what are you doing here?", i ask her.

She looks around for a while and replies, " I-" but Sam interrupts her.

"You both know each other?", Sam asks both us.

"Yeah sort of", I tell her.

"Woah nice. Actually She's our new neighbor"

"Yes nice to meet you....again" she says and walks towards me holding her hand out "I'm Michelle....Michelle Jones"

"nice to meet you too", I shake my hands with hers.

I extend my hand towards the seat indicating her to sit on it. As soon as she took her seat I sit opposite to her on the other seat besides Sam  and Mobs.

"So how did you both meet?" Sam asked us.

"Um....it's a long story", I tell her.

"so what? we have plenty of time to waste just start your long story!", Mobs said.

"Yeah tell us" Sam pressured over her friend.

"fine" I sighed.I looked at the new girl....Michelle and asked her, "Do you wanna tell 'em?"

"No it's okay. You can tell them", she replied.

"No no you can", I said.

"No you can"

"No you-", she was going to say when Sam spoke in the  middle.

"okay stop! If you guys don't want to tell then don't"

"fine" Michelle and I both say at the same time.

After a while spent in awkward silence Michelle says, "Maybe I should go it's already late" 

"okay", "yeah", "sure" The three of us said together. Wow that didn't come out right.

"okay bye" Michelle said.

"bye" Sam and Mobs said when i stand to leave her to the door.

"bye " I said standing at the door and she smiled at me one last time before turning around.

As soon as she got out of sight I slammed the door. When I reached the table, I saw both the girls staring at me.

"what?!", I said.

"nothing", they both said. It seems as if their brains are connected to each other. Both always speak the same thing.

"Aren't you going to your place?", I ask Mobs and she says ," no I'm sleeping here". I'm not even surprised at this point. It's like she is the third member of our house who sleeps,wakes,drink,eat and live with us.

"okay", I sigh and go upstairs to my room. I am still shocked about the fact that the girl I saw today is our new neighbour. I was thinking about her only, when I opened my bag and saw her scrunchie. I felt sorry for myself that I forgot to give her scrunchie back even when she was in my house. I keep forgetting things. I keep it back in my bag and wait to see her again....so that i can give her scrunchie back to her.

I complete my homework  before going to bed.I switch off the lights but when I climb on my bed I hear voices of loud music coming from the girl's room. Whenever they sleep together they forget that I am there in this house too. I cover my ears with my pillow and try to sleep in peace.

After a while the voice coming from their room stops and I close my eyes too.
