See You Again

CHAPTER 3. Unexpected

It's now Monday and two days has passed that I've dine with Emily and John during breakfast. Ever since then I've been thinking about their son Liam, because I still haven't got the opportunity of meeting him in person. And I love meeting new people, I always get this sensation inside me every single time, like when someone touches you and it's warm. I really love talking to people it made me feel alive, happy and content. I wonder what's it going to be like when I meet Liam.

I decided to go downstairs when I remember that mom are baking cookies. It's the best and I'm not being bias because she's my mom because it's true. We love pastries so much specially when mom made it. "Hey mom, how was it? You've made chocolate chip with oatmeal and macarons? I said with so much excitement in my voice "Sure you can never get enough of cookies, and I also want you to take some to our neighbor." she said "When you said neighbor you mean the Reeds family?" "Well yes, so take this and go young lady!" she said.

As I walk to the Reeds house humming quietly, I saw Mrs. Reed's or rather Emily getting inside of her car. "Hello Mrs. Reed, I have some cookies here my mom made it" I quickly told her "Oh it smells delicious but I have somewhere to be right now, is it okay if you just put it inside?" she ask "Yes of course, it's alright drive safely Mrs. Reed" I said to her "Thank you dear I'm going now" she said and bid goodbye. Once inside of their house and search for their kitchen which isn't hard to find since I've been here once, and also it's model is exactly like ours. But what made me froze is when I saw a man standing behind the fridge, his back facing me.

I carefully place the container at the nearby counter and battling if I should make myself known. Without holding myself back I breathe deeply "Hello, I brought some cookies my mom made it you should try it." I said and wait for him to speak or turn around since his back is still facing me. He slowly turn and notice how He's not directly looking at me at all. He's a lot taller than me maybe five or six inches. Silence fill the room for about a minute, I started to think if He's ignoring me on purpose. To broke the silence I speak again "I'm Madison your new neighbor we actually moved here a week ago, and I'm guessing you're Liam right?" I tried to still sound cheerful despite the lack of response and look straight into his blue eyes. "Why are you still standing there? You can go" He said in a monotone voice and face blank. I was shock by his response it caught me off guard and how He wanted me to leave at once. "I'm sorry did I do something wrong?" I ask him though I'm sure I didn't do anything, or maybe because I was inside his house and I'm still a complete stranger to him since I've only met Mrs. and Mr. Reed. Silence fill the room again realizing that my existence is not wanted at the moment. "Okay I'll just go, I'm sorry." I said a little sad and hurriedly walk outside to give him privacy. Maybe he's not feeling like talking today or not feeling good I said to myself. I hope he eat the cookies though, it might brighten his day if he's not feeling well. With that thought I went straight home and still look forward for the rest of the day.
