1 Someone Around Me

Mythi has moved to a new house. The entrance is same like any other normal building blocks, one storey building with four houses inbottom and four in top facing the same kind of opposite. Sixteen houses which looks like sixteen new family and friends they might get.

Her sister name is Suji, like all other times dropped off few boxes, got excited running here and there while opening the boxes, as if unveiling something new which they had packed not a day before. So dramatic!

Mythi thought of organizing all the things back to its place by helping her mom. She slowly helped the loaders to place the boxes into the new house in different rooms.

After helping them out, she started looking at her own place to set up the things. When she placed the things at right place, she felt some one is observing her.

She acts like nothing is near her and ignoring the weird vibes while thinking to herself "Is this a dream, Why can't I cope up with my surroundings like a normal person. Hmm lets see what this new home beholds. Long dream journey awaits me.

This time she felt a presence behind her, who sneers and mocks her loud cheer she did for herself, "Let's help mom" she said out loud and ran away. Still deep inside she felt a presence that is too intimidating.

The neighbors came around and introduced themselves. It makes her to think that this place might have a good neighborhood. But she still could not shake away the uneasiness.

She went inside kitchen to help her mom get the things ready for serving the guests.

"Mom here everybody seems kind, and that's gives you a new set of friends", she teased her mom. She thought to herself and burt out the word little loud " Kind!!!!".

Suddenly she hears someone replying "As if." She was shocked and turned around to see where the voice is coming from. But to her surprise, No one is there and her mom too already went to the living room to serve coffee for the guests.

She wanted to ask, "Who it is?" But she consoled herself thinking, "May be someone came inside and ran away."

"Naughty folks here, hmm what's that got to do with me. Suffer in Silent type me doesn't bother." Again she feels someone's presence.

Next day morning after family breakfast, everyone started their day. Dad to office, Mom to pack lunch boxes for Mythi and suji.

Well today is Mythi's first day at college. "Fighting Mythi!" She cheered herself.

She got accompanied by 2 new friends from their house block, Nasina and Lyna which seems like a magic because they happened to be in the Same college and same class as like Mythi. 

Mythi thought to herself and said out loud, "Lucky me got two folks"

Meanwhile somewhere in the corner of her room someone whispers "Plus one"!!!
