I woke up the next morning a little late. Went to school, attended classes, it was just like other normal days, but it changed as, when I reached home, I found my dad home.
He had gone to a business trip to Hong Kong and he was not going to be here for my birthday but had managed to finish off work early and come back.
I jumped and hugged my dad very tightly as he had been gone for 2 months! We talked about his trip, my academics and how my party preparation was going on.
My mom was still at work. She came home after an hour and as she knew dad had already come home had ordered Samantha to clean the house and order Marge, our cook, to make special dinner as Mr. Andrews and his family were also coming over for dinner.
Mr. Andrews was a very generous man.
He lived in Hong Kong. He and my father were together in high school and even in college. My father asked them to come visit us here and they agreed as they were already going to come here as their son whose name I am not aware of was joining high school in our town.
I got dressed for the dinner and went down to see if my mom or Marge needed any help but like always they didn't let me.
Waiting for them I turned on the music, put on my headphones and listened to random songs, singing loudly and dancing around in the house. I know a silly thing to do for an almost 16 year old but I liked being a kid and doing stupid things unnoticed.
I was so into singing and dancing that I had made my way to the front garden and was out there in the lawn. After a while I noticed my mom calling me in saying they were here.
I had barely made my way in than Mr. Andrews told me ," You sing very well. Quite impressing." He said with a gentle smile. I was so embarrassed that I turned red as a tomato. They had noticed me out in the lawn and what a great first impression I had made!
There was no use for my father introducing me as he had already recognised me. And so I just shyly (still red) shook his hand.
Mrs. Andrews and their son were nowhere in sight and nor my mom so I just excused myself and walked towards the kitchen.
On my way there I noticed someones back. He had worn a black shirt and washed blue jeans. I guessed he was Mr. Andrews’ son. I didn't know his name and so I just thought of starting the conversation with introducing myself.
I said "Hello."
As my voice reached him, he immediately turned around.
"Hi my name is Natalie" I said pretty confidently.
But his blue eyes just kept staring into my green ones. It was as if he was lost somewhere.
It was getting to become a bit awkward and so I again said," Umm...hi....I m Natalie.......and....your name?" This time I was more nervous than before as his blue eyes fixed on me freaked me out a bit. Finally he spoke up,"I liked your dance moves." He said in a flirty tone.
I just rolled my eyes at him.
"Great. The guy whose name I don't know is already aware of my dance moves." He gave me a smirk and left.
What he didn't have a name?! I thought. And What an impression I had created in front of them,I thought in my mind.
I went straight to the kitchen and found Mrs. Andrews there chatting with my mom.
My mom introduced me. Even Margaret (thats what Mrs. Andrews told me to call her) appreciated my singing and dancing skills and I just blushed.
Then we made our way to the dining room. We all sat down at the table. My dad, mom and me at one side and Mr. Andrews, Margaret and 'mystery guy' opposite to us. Our parents were talking on random topic while Marge served the dishes.
He and I were just eating silently while the elders did the talking.
Suddenly my dad asked,"which school are you joining Kevin?" So Kevin it is.
"Pattinson high school." He replied.
Wait! What?! Pattinson high school?! That is my school!!
"Well this is great 'cause even Natalie is in the same one." My dad said with a smile.
He looked at me and smirked.
"So then where are you going to stay?" My mom asked him.
Then Margaret answered," not yet decided. We were thinking of buying him a house nearby."
"Well that wont be necessary" my father said," he can stay here. There is a spare room next to Natalie's."
"That is very kind of u sir but I am not coming here alone. Even one of my friend is accompanying me." Kevin said in a very formal tone.
"Well thats not a problem. The room is quite huge and you both can share it if you are up for it." My dad replied ," Or if you want to live without elderly watch in another apartment then thats another thing." My dad said joking.
Then Margaret jumped in the conversation and said,"We appreciate and accept the offer. Kevin and peter will surely come over here to live."
I was just listening quietly to the conversation the whole time.
Kevin had already brought all his stuff and said he would move in tomorrow "Natalie would to help you move in." My mom said and I shot a look at my mom which meant 'no I wont' but she gave me an angry look and so I just said ,"Sure! Why not!" While they were leaving Kevin whispered in my ear,"this is going to be fun' Babydoll" and left.I just went straight to my room to call Rach.
She picked up the phone after 2 rings and I said,"You are not going to believe what just happened here."
She was very eager to here about it but I said I would tell her tomorrow at school and she agreed.
I cant believe Kevin, the only guy who has seen me dance and call me Babydoll, who has a very big ego, just like I did, which I hated, was going to stay at my house, actually in front of my room for 2 years!
Ugh! Life sucks!
I quickly fell asleep
