The book

The breeze was so chilled and cool as I got down from the car. We just moved here, into a residential area because mum got promoted at work so the house and a car was part of the package. Though I didn't like the idea of relocating but it's way more comfortable here on Chicago. We packed our stuffs and tried to settle in. My mum was a single mum, she had a husband but they got seperated and my elder sister went with my dad though I still visit her and I still talk to my dad but my mum isn't aware of that.

My mum's cousin also stays with, my two grandma, the one from my dad and the one from mum as well and my cousin stays with us as well. In short, the house is filled with six ladies.

After arranging everything, mum decided to get some other thing from the mall and I decided to go with her and get things for my new school as well. That's what I hate about relocating, I have to change school.

We got to the mall and we were walking around, then I was about to take a cereal box but it was a bit high and I couldn't reach it even with how much I stretched then I saw a hand move above my head and picked it and I turned around to see a guy staring at me.

" Here" he said handing it over to me

" Thanks" I said collecting it

" Tiana" mum called and I left

I couldn't really get to see his face but I know he had ocean blue eyes and he most be hot, from his physique but nice of him helping me out. I might not see him again, I probably won't.

" Who was that?" Mum asked

" A stranger" I said

" Don't try to act smart with me young lady" she said

" I'm not, he's a stranger" I said

" Then stay away from strangers, before you know it you'll be all over yourselves" mum said and I sighed

" What, that's what you teenagers do nowadays" she said

" He just helped me with the cereal box, that's all." I said

" Oh really, if I didn't get there on time you would probably exchange names and numbers if not address " she said and she wasn't wrong about that.

" Mum can you please not make this a big issue" I said moving on.

I was still in a bad mood cause by mum when I decided to go to the bookstore. I was good at reading novels and I'm a writer too. I've written many books online, some I haven't published yet.

I was going through some books but I didn't really like any.

" Here, you should take this" a guy said giving me a book

" Oh thanks, I'll look for another one" I said

" It's good, trust me I just finished reading it" he said with a smile and I collected it

" Thanks" I said looking at the title of the book

' UPSIDE DOWN '. I looked up and he was gone.

I smiled as I took the book to the cashier but he had paid for it already.

We got back home and I was exhausted, I went to my room and laid on the bed. I brought out the book and opened it the first page was empty and the other pages too, everything was blank. At the back of the book was about the author and it stated " anyone who gets it should write it" and I smiled. How did he know I was a writer.

I dropped it on my bed as I took my laptop, to conclude the last chapter of a story I was writing. As I finished up, I got a video call from Dad.
