Click! My camera went off. Ever so often I take pictures of the houses in my neighborhood.
There was just something about these houses in where I called Suburbia ,better known as the blue neighbourhood that seemed to draw my attention. I took my camera and hung it around my neck checking through the photos I took.
I was on an early morning stroll and things were pretty boring until I-
*Thump*
Ouch!
It was then I noticed that I bumped into someone.
I dropped my camera and I quickly looked up to apologise when I noticed the slightly familiar appearance.
Messy brown but simply styled short hair, pale skin. His lips were thin and pink with bold blue eyes. He had a slight feminine look and was much taller than I am. He was thin framed and dressed simple but effective.
"Oh I'm so sorry! Are you alright love?" He asked in his sweet Australian accent.
"I'm fine it's all my fau-" "Let me get that for you." he says reaching out for my camera. No no no no no! No! "Nice work," he complimented,"I'm actually into a little photography myself." He ended the sentence with a slight giggle. And I gave him a questioning look.
"What's so funny?"
"See that house right there in the middle?" He said pointing to the house in the picture. "Yea that's just one of my favourites. It looks so beautiful with the sunri-" "I just moved in there." He cut me off. Woah!
My eyes widened for a second. "I swear I'm not a stalker!" I blurted out and he bursted out laughing.
I laughed nervously in return.
"Its okay. I guess." He said looking at his watch.
"What time is it?"I asked. "7:30" "Shit I'm late for school!" I was about to grab my camera when, "You go to the school a few blocks away right?" He asked looking behind me.
"Yea, uh think I'll see ya later,I gotta g-"
"I have a car I'll take you home get your stuff and we're off to school." He said, pointing at his car.
"Oh ,cool.....gee thanks."I said nervously fumbling with my camera.
Should I accept it? He looks like a nice guy.
"Um I didn't get your name."
"Oh, I'm Troye" he said putting out his hand for me to shake with a cheeky grin.
"Alessia, nice meeting you Troye." And he looked down to his feet.
"Soooo....off to my house then!?" I said trying to brighten the mood. We walked toward the car.He opened the passenger door and I got in.
Seems like a gentleman.

"Thanks Troye! Won't be long!"I ran into the house and dashed up the stairs to my room.
"Alessia!Breakfast is ready!" Dad yelled from the kitchen.
I grabbed my bag and looked around for my camera but I left it in the car.
I ran back downstairs and was about to run out the door but dad happened to beat me to it. "Where are you going without bteakfast?"
"Dad I'm late I'll buy something at the café-"
"Oh really I thought you might have someone waiting." He said looking up knowing fully.
"Hurry don't wanna keep your 'boyfriend' waiting." He teased. Dad walked me outside and we both exchanged kisses.
"Beye dad!" I yelled getting into the car. He looked at Troye and they gave eachother a nod. Looking down I noticed he was looking through my pictures.
"Who is that?"
"Uh...nobody." I said nervously grabbing my camera.
What's with this guy?
"Sooo. You're a daddy's girl ?" He asked smirking at me.
"I guess I am,"
"What about you?Momma's boy huh?" I could see his face dim as he drove off.
"I'm actually not quite fond of both parents. I lost my mom and I live with my dad."
"Oh, same here....." I looked away from him and into my window.
"First day of school...here I come." Troye muttered.
He pulled into the parking lot.
"Hey um..you mind showing me around?" He asked scratching his head, clearly showing his nervousness.
"Uh about that, I don't think you would want to be seen with...me, I mean you don't always get another chance for first impressions...Don't think you would want to be found with an outcast too." I said in a hushed tone and he looked at me as if I was crazy.
"One. I don't care about what people think. Two. Let's get inside because we only have like three minutes."
"Oh you're right let's go." I said grabbing my things and getting out of the car.
I speed walked to the stairs and happened to look back just in time to see Troye putting on his glasses and so did I. He ran to me and we both went to our lockers. When I was done I went to meet him at his.
"So, any friends you want to introduce me to?" He asked smiling at me.
I lowered my gaze to his shoes. "I don't have any friends."
"Well thank God I decided to take a walk this morning because you my friend," he said wrapping his arm around my shoulder "is stuck with me for maybe the rest of your life!" He shouted and i raised an eyebrow.
"Maybe,maybe not? Any suggestions?" He said playfully stroking his chin as if he had a beard.
I laughed and replied, "It would be my pleasure Mr.Sivan." I said looking down at his notebook tag.
"Oh it would be mine Ms.Cara" he replied glimpsing at mine and we both laughed.
The school bell went off. "What's your first class?" I asked.
"Uhh.... History"
"Great so do I" We took a speed tour on our way to class.
