Chapter one; Neighbours

”Oh no” I heard mum shout from the kitchen. I got curious wondering what was happening. As I entered the kitchen my mum said ”We are out of eggs and the shops are closed, could you please go to one of our neighbours and see if we can borrow two eggs?”. I sighed, that's just typical mum. I threw on my thin green army jacket, not such a great choice considering it was a very cold winter evening but I wasn't exactly planning on staying outside for long. Choosing whom to borrow the eggs from was easy, there was one house on the street of which I didn't know who owned it. I was extremely curious to find out. All other neighbours had been seen outside working in gardens and such but this one had recently move in and I wanted to be able to imagine a face of this beautiful house.

As I approached the house I smiled, the snow was lying on top of the roof like a white and fluffy sheet. By the roof's edge there were Christmas lights hanging. The light inside were lit so there had to be someone home, I hoped. I looked through the window and saw a big screened TV and a gigantic sofa. The TV was showing Miranda, my favourite British comedy show. I smiled and then I approached the door to knock. I knocked three quick times and I was extremely excited to see who lived in the house. The door opened and I prepared to ask for the eggs but when I looked up and saw who was standing there and I froze. There was a tall man, skinny but still muscular. He was wearing a blue t-shirt that was fit tightly to his body and a pair of sweatpants and yes indeed this was the teacher I recently had developed a crush for. He wasn't my teacher, but he worked at the school I went to. I couldn't get a sound out of me. He looked really confused because he recognised me as well, we had caught each others eyes now and then in school. ”um, hi, what are you doing here?” he asked and made a shocked facial expression. I managed to say one word ,”Eggs” and then I froze for some seconds, ”I'm her to ask if I could borrow two eggs, we're out of them and the shops are closed and we're in the middle of baking and..Neighbour..” he interrupted me as I babbled, ” Yeah sure you can have two eggs, you look cold though, step inside and close the door” . I felt my heart racing. I stepped inside and shut the door. I was now standing in the super hot teachers house, there was no sign of anyone else, it was just me and him. He came out of the kitchen with two eggs in his hand. ”there you go” he said as he handed them over. ”give them back soon though or else I'll find you in school” he said looking foolish, poking my shoulder and winking.
