Chapter 8

We walked past the cinema and crossed the road that led to Oxford Street, heading towards our house. As soon as we arrived, we noticed the new guy standing in front of his house with his hands in his pockets, looking in our direction but seemingly focused on me.

Seeing him, I decided to leave Jessica and Alice behind and entered the house on my own. I wondered what was taking them so long, so I opened the window and peeked through.

I saw both of them engaged in a conversation with the new guy. Under my breath, I muttered, "What on earth are these two telling him?" Then I noticed him smiling, which made him look quite charming. I couldn't help but smile to myself. After a short while, I saw them walking away from him and heading towards our door.
