First contact

yes, you guessed right. it was Thai with his arm wrapped around her shoulders. Trust Jessica to soak it all up. as if there was anyway he could resist her. she was what all guys would call charming.

wow, Mike whistled, who is that hot guy with Jessica?

I don't know, I shrugged.

They were the center of attraction of the whole school. The power couple. I was shocked that she sunk her fangs into him that fast, I guess I tend to underestimate her abilities.

They got to the car. Hey guys, she chirped

Thai, this is little sister and brother, her name is Anna and his name is Mike.

Nice to meet you, Thai smiled at us.

His teeth were pearly white and his smile was hypnotizing.

Uhmm, erh, Hi, nice to meet you, I stammered.

Alright we need to get going, Jessica interrupted.

Yeah, we chorused and got into the car.

I will see you tomorrow Thai, she purred and I rolled my eyes.

seriously, get a grip.

He spun around and started walking away. Everything about him was so graceful. His feet looked as if it wasn't touching the ground.

Jessica started the car and we were on our way. You didn't have to act so thirsty, when you were with him, I told her.

Thirsty?! is that what it looked like? He was the one after me, Jessica countered.

Ohh please, it looked as if you were going to eat him whole, Mike added and we both burst into laughter.

well excuse me for acting up, when I see a handsome guy. He was my guide for today anyway.

ohhh, that explains the whole scenario, I thought to myself.

That was the whole reason, he was with her. I don't know why I suddenly felt better. it wasn't like I had a shot anyway. He was clearly out of my league.

Heyy!! earth to Anna. please get out of the car so I can lock it.

oh goodness, we were already home and I didn't even know.

I got out and Jessica locked the doors. Mum wasn't yet back from work.

Grandma wasn't home either, luckily Jessica had a spare to the house.

I went straight to my room and pulled off my clothes. I chose a pair of shorts and a crop top and put it on. my stomach growled

Time to find something to eat.

I came to the kitchen and met lasagna in a Tupperware with my name written on it. it must be Grandma's doing. thanks Grandma, I almost shouted.

I went back to my room to eat. when I was done, I started working on my biography assignment. I was done in about 20 minutes. I put on my shoes and went to Jessica's room, she was on her bed listening to music.

I'm going for a walk, I told her.

let's go together, she said. I'm bored anyway.

we went to Mike's room to tell him but he was already knocked out. Grandma's lasagna did the trick.

we left him a note saying we went out for a walk.

we left the house and started walking down the street.

one of our neighbors were pulling into her driveway. we waved at her and she waved right back.

The children came out of the car when she parked and stared at us. one of the girls looked about my age and the other one was a toddler. You are new here. I haven't seen your faces around. You must be Rosa's grandchildren, she said.

Yes we are, we answered.

I'm Mrs churchill and these are my children Kate and Ashley.

Hi, we waved and they waved right back.

they invited us into their house and we went in. The house was very big and homely. They had a grand piano. I used to play it for my dad a long time ago but I stopped playing since he died.

do you play? Kate the older sister asked me.

No, I smiled. I just liked the way it looks.

it belongs to my mother, she continued, she used to play it for my dad when the pain of passing through chemotherapy was too much. Whenever she played it, he felt better. He had prostate cancer.

Where is your dad now? I asked.

He passed away 5 years ago, she answered. But my mom got remarried to Jason. He's very nice and takes us to the movies every weekend. He has an automobile shop.

Kate liked to talk and talk we did. we talked about many things.

Jessica was in the kitchen helping Mrs churchill, bake some cookies.

Do you have a boyfriend? she asked.

no, I said. How about you?

Yes, his name is Richard. he's very sweet.

wow, I'm so happy for you. I said.

Don't worry, you will get one soon . it's just because you are new. there are many cute boys in the neighborhood.

I'll take you around tomorrow.

thank you so much, I'll really appreciate it.

we exchanged phone numbers.

Jessica soon came out, wiping her hands on a towel.

we should get going Anna, It looks like it's going to rain. The clouds were dark and looked menacing. Alright good bye, I waved.

bye, kate said and shut the door.

They seem nice, Jessica started.

They are nice, I answered.

when we got in, we heard some noise in the kitchen.

Grandma?! we called.

I'm in here, she answered.

hey grandma.

Hey kids, how was your first day?

it was great. We meet Mrs churchill and her daughters. They were very nice.

Yes, they are, we attend the same church. Grandma answered.

what are you cooking, maybe I can help, I asked.

I'm making fish sticks and peas. You can help me wash the veggies. Jessica phone started ringing so she went upstairs to get it. I picked up the apron and put it on.
