Episode 2. The Truck Hit Me Twice Today eh?

You know, if somebody asks me about life, I would say "I would prefer la la land over this world." My life is just as boring as a cricket match, no offence! It's just I find cricket boring!

My friends keep on saying 'live your life to the fullest' but how can I when my life is boring and empty?

To me life is where I am truly myself. Where I can present my true colours to the world around me. Hey! Don't get me wrong! True colours as in good type.

Sometimes I wonder what it is to be not a 'human'. What if I was not born as me? What if I was born as an animal like my cat? Or a squirrel or a rabbit? Or a bird? What would my life would be like? Will it be same boring? Will I be able to enjoy my life? Or I'll have an early death, because life span of animals is lesser then humans right?

No. I don't care about how many days I'm gonna survive, as far as I enjoy my life and have many adventures and do the things that make me happy I will be contented.

My phone buzzed on the table beside me and suddenly my cat jumped on it as if it is her boyfriend.

Yes. My cat is well now after the vaccination. Yesterday that jerk dropped me home because our houses are right beside each other!

Believe me when I say he is an evil jerk! He wouldn't be bedroom neighbor if not for his evil plan.

~FLASHBACK~

I heard my mom's laughter downstairs she was talking someone. I don't remember her inviting any guests or her friends today. I closed my laptop and headed downstairs to see my mom talking with a lady of her age with blue eyes and blonde hair dressed casually. Beside her sat a cute little chubby girl eating strawberry flavored candy with one hand and is holding a chocolate ice cream on the other hand.

It's MY ice cream!! Mom must have given her!

You are even jealous of what? A six-year-old girl?

Then her eyes landed on me she grinned showing her missing teeth which are pink colored by now because of the ice cream. I smiled at her, she is cute. But why does she remind me of Greyson? The one and only jerk from my school. She kinda looks likes him with green eyes. Forget it! The day bright and good so far. I don't want to jinx it by thinking about him.

"Hello!" I greeted and sat beside my mom, who introduced me to the lady. I'll call her lady for now.

"Blair, meet Chloe, Chloe meet Blair my daughter!" she exclaimed enthusiastically. Woah woah woah!!!

Where's this excitement coming from? I never saw her this much excited before, not even on her wedding anniversary!

"Nice to meet you too Blair! Awe! You have grown up into a beautiful girl! You were also cute when you were six-year-old back when you used to come to our house!" she exclaimed giving me a bone melting hug. Yup! That hard hug it was.

We have met before?

"Oh! Honey you don't remember I guess, because you were young back then"

"Blair, she is the 'aunty Reeve' you used to visit every day to play with her son Greyson back when we were in California"

"Oh! Sorry I didn't recognize you earlier" I said sheepishly. I remember now, when I used to have a crush on her son. I used to call him Rey because I wasn't able to pronounce his name.

Wait a second... did she say his name was Greyson?

Greyson

Reeve

Chloe Reeve

Greyson + Reeve = Greyson Reeve

It's the jerk's name!! I have a bad feeling about this!

Suddenly I heard somebody shout from outside "Mom! Are you there? Which one of the houses are we choosing?" that voice is awfully familiar. And then the footsteps were heard and out of nowhere the jerk appeared!

"You!"

"You!" we both exclaimed at the same time, while I was pointing my finger at him.

"Oh wow! What a surprise you two know each other. Great!"

Yeah! Just Great! Just note the sarcasm.

"Leah, meet my son Greyson!" I felt like the truck hit me. What the fidgety fudge! This is the jerk whom I had a crush on?

Seriously Blair?? My inner conscience tsked.

"Nice to meet you Greyson! She's is my daughter, Blair!" mom exclaimed. She is too talkative today. Then both of our mothers went on talking about random stuff.

The jerk smirked at me and held his hand forward for a handshake. I raised an eyebrow at him. Ughh! What does he want now!

Anyway, it's just one time, I won't get infected.

I held his hand while he suddenly pulled me forward making my palms land on his chest, our noses touching, his warm breath fanning my face. A shiver ran down my body because of our close proximity making me blush. My breath hitched when he inched closer, our lips almost touching and then he moved his lips towards my ears.

"My mom says, 'there's more sincerity in greeting when we 'hug' right pussy cat?" he said brushing his lips against my ear making goosebumps grow on my whole body.

"Yeah! You're right Rey" I said back. He stilled for a moment.

"Ahem..." we pulled apart while my mother coughed. I stood there awkwardly while his mom gave him a look which I couldn't decipher. He winked at her and she let out a laugh making me go all red.

What is with this mother and son?

"So we're choosing either of the houses which are beside your house" his mom said. They are moving here?

I saw the jerk frown and look around my house and landed his eyes on me making him smirk.

I narrowed my eyes at him. What is he planning now?

"Mom, let's take that house which is at the right!" he almost shouted in excitement and smirked at me.

Suddenly the realization hit me like a truck!

If they chose the house which is on the right, there's 100% of chances for him to have a bedroom across mine.

Shit! This the first time I cursed!
