It didn't take Arvela long to realise he was no ordinary boy next door. She would rather avoid him, he won't leave her alone.

'I couldn't help but feel a superficial yet intense attraction towards him'....
I didn't want to traumatise my unaware mother of the savage like blood on our garden, as she wouldn't understand. So I quickly went and got the hose and watered it out, till I could see the blood dilute deep into the grass. I only lived with my mother. I had no other sibling and as for my father, he had no interest in being in my life and frankly neither did I.
It was when I turned back round to bend over and pick up my backpack that I saw a figure in the corner of my eyes. I looked up rapidly hoping it was him, to my perhaps doom, it was him. Though I didn't care for any doomsday within that moment, all I knew was that I finally get to see him in the broad daylight and talk to him. Instead he walked away quickly
'Stop' I shouted 'Who are you? Do you not think I, the girl you watch every night, should know who you are.'
Though he ignored me and kept on walking away. I didn't want to catch up to him in fear of both my life but also not wanting to alarm him further away. So I kept my pace behind him but I kept following.
'You need to speak to me... please' 'I know it's you, isnt it.. it's you.. it's you who stands outside my window every night... and perhaps you think I am but.. I'm not afraid of you'
He kept on walking, though his pace finally slowed down.
'You take me for a joke if you don't think I know what you are.'
He stopped. I stopped.
By now we were in the middle of a spacious yet empty garden park. The clouds were grey and the breeze was dull, but the garden we stood in made everything within the moment seem beautiful. The ruffles of the trees leaves were still intact. The tulips and the lavenders had yet kept their vibrant colours and the daisies that covered the entity of the grass had all bloomed. We, alone, stood still on the pavement walkway. Gazing at each other.

And for the first time, I saw him completely. And he saw me, completely.
