- Dawn -
I blast along with Who You Are by Jessie J as I wake up in the morning with my headphones still in and my music still on. I turn my alarm clock off and sit up in bed. I let out a couple of sighs and stand up. My first day at school. I open my closet and I wonder what I'm going to wear. God, why is black the only color in my goddamn closet? So I decide to go for black and brush my teeth. I take a look on my phone and fuck, it's a couple minutes before 8 already. I rush downstairs and put on my shoes.
"A very good morning to you too," my mom says. "Yeah, thank you. I had a good night. What about you, Dawn?"
"Yeah it was okay thanks," I say very quick and put an apple between my teeth. "Mom we gotta run! I'm already late. Is it okay if I text Dad when I'm at school?"
"Sure," she says and stands up. "Just tell him how your day and the school are. He's just a man, you know. He's-"
"Mum!" I yell and run to the door. "Come on, come on, come on!"
"I'm coming!" Mum yells back and we walk out of the door. Just when my mum closes the door, a man starts yelling and laughing.
"David!" my mom says. "A very goodmorning, my dear new neighbor!"
"Goodmorning Miranda," he says and smiles at me. "Is this your daughter? She looks just like you."
"Isn't it a stupid question to ask if I'm her daughter, then?" I ask and smile at him. He smiles back and we shake hands. "I'm Dawn."
"That's a very beautiful name," he says and lets go of my hand. "I'm David."
"Yeah," I say and laugh again. "Mum just yelled your name, I think I get it." He smiles at me and I want to turn around to step into the car. When I look at my right, I see a gorgeous brown haired guy walking out of the same door David stept out of. Is that... his son? Are they family?
"I'm ready," the boy says with a raspy voice. "Shall we go, father?"
"Yes son!" David yells out of excitement. "Dawn, meet Harry. Harry, meet Dawn." Harry. His name is Harry. He looks like a Harry.
"I- I am Da- Dawn," I say and walk over to him to shake his hand. Gosh, why do I have to stutter when I'm nervous? No no no, Dawn, you're not nervous, okay? It's just the neighbor.
"I know who you are," he says but still shakes my hand. "People talk about you at school whenever they found that they're is going to be a new student."
"And?" I ask and smile. "Are they positive?"
"Hey," he says and gives me a pat. "We're still goddamn students from a college. Ofcourse they're not positive. But they sure will." He smiles at me.
"So," my mom says and looks at her watch. "You two go to the same school together?"
"We do," Harry says before I can answer. "And I'm willing to even drive you to school, Dawn! How great is that? Aren't I a nice guy?"
"The nicest," I smile and Harry winks at me. We walk over to his car and I leave my mom with the creepy, way too happy neighbor. Mum is surprised, I can see it by the way she looks at Harry.
"They seem to get along very well already," is the last thing I hear before I close the car door. I look at Harry and he feels it. I know because he smiles out of nothing and he seems a little nervous. I smile too but I look outside of the window real quick. He's cute. And he has very pretty eyes.

"We're here," Harry says when he stops the car. I take a deep breath and step out of the car. I already feel hundred pairs of eyes burning on my back. Probably because I'm stepping out of Harry's car. I really hope they don't think I'm Harry's girlfriend. Well, I'm not sure about that...
