First Meeting

I get out of my car and I'm now currently staring at my new home. Thankfully the government helps me pay for it so I don't have much problem. The house looks quite modernized. It has more windows than the orphanage and has a big tree by the entrance making the house look as if it came right out of a fairy tale. I feel the wind ripple through my clothes and feel the sun kiss my skin. I close my eyes and let it all sink in. I feel a tear run down my cheek and feel a big ache on my heart. I'm confused, I can't understand why I'm crying, I've never cried before so why now?

A week later, Friday September 4th

I wake up by the sound of my alarm, startled I roll over to turn it off but end up falling from the bed. what a way to start the day, I successfully turn off the alarm and start my morning schedule. A few minutes later I hear the door bell, I look through the window because I'm only five foot one and see the back of a man holding his phone with his left arm making it hard to see his face.

I open the door, " Umm...is there something you need?"

He turns around and the first thing I notice are his eyes. Dark deep green eyes, sun kissed skin, black straight short hair covering a little bit of his eyes and a tattoo of a butterfly on the right side of his neck.

We stay silent for a moment, the silence lingers in like a wind chime.

Flustered, i say "So what do you need?"

"Ah right sorry, I live right across the street and it wasn't until yesterday that i found out we had a new neighbor. So I was just curious of who you were"

At first i couldn't belive that people actually care about meeting their neighbors. Back at the orphanage everyone ignored me except for Amber.

" Well nice to meet you, my name is Rosa"

"Jake, nice to meet you Rosa" He said with a bright smile.

It's been three days since I've seen Jake and I can't get him out of my head. I feel my face turn red whenever I think about his smile. My stomach feels tight when I think about the time we lingered looking at each other in silence. At first I didn't know why felt this way so I look it up. why does my heart race at the thought of someone? what is the tight feeling I feel in my stomach when I think about a specific person? Should I see a doctor? Is it curable?.

It was thanks to this resrch that I was able to understand that I wasn't sick at all. According to research, I like him but for me it seems more like I'm interested in him. But does he feel the same?

I decide to take a walk around the neighborhood to clear my thoughts. As I walk I notice a balck cat walking right beside me. Shit.

I stop walking and take a deep breath, why does a cat have to appear now.

I do my best to gently push it away but it keeps coming back.

"Please leave me alone..."

I can feel the cat purr against my leg. I start walking faster and so does the cat, I start running out of desperation and before I know it I hear honking. I turn around and I see a truck right in front of me.

I freez without knowing what to do. I'm I going to die?
