Chapter 03 : New boy in Town

Anne Pov :

I've never liked mornings , I can never understand why someone would be a morning person , I can never understand people who wakes up early and goes for a run . Waking up is the hardest thing for me .

Sun rise hitting my face I groaned , wanting to sleep more , covering myself with duvet I started drifting to sleep again after yesterday's work I was quite tired. Before I could sleep two knocks on my door disturb me "Wake up, it's morning" Aunt Sophie announced. She snatches my duvet and goes out of my room after saying , " Sir wants you to do a parcel delivery and needs that to be done before 10 am so hurry up"

Yes I work as delivery person to earn money and to have a roof on my head .

I do what my boss says basically pickup and delivery work, nothing exciting.

I looked at the clock and it said 6:05 once again with a heavy sigh I got up and went to freshen up. Around 6:30 I was ready and went out of the room towards the living room , Aunt Sophie is making breakfast and a big bag was laying on the dining table which I assume I need to deliver.

"I made eggs and pancakes" she said

"Not in the mood"I replied, took the parcel and rushed outside the house .

But I guess the luck was not on my side , it was raining and the bus stop was quite far , my bicycle was also broken . A glance at my watch I saw it was almost 7 am , so I decided to run towards the bus stop.

Parcels are always waterproof and that the only good thing or else there is no way I can deliver it.

Soon I reached the bus stop, I kept the parcel on the seat next to me , due to running in rain I was drenched and my hair were sticking to my forehead.

I started to move those strands away from my face and cleared my face with my hands . As I was doing all this I didn't realise that I wasn't the only person at the stop , feeling a stare on me I saw a boy around my age looking, no staring at me with blinking his eyes as if his eyes are stuck on me . I avoided for few seconds but couldn't stop myself from asking , "Hey?" I said

he composed himself but didn't reply so I asked again if he needs anything , to this he replied that he is new to this town and he got lost , by his attire I guessed that he was on walk or a run around the town that's why I don't like people who wake up early, he said he wanted the way to old theatre of the town to which I gave him the direction.

I find it quite suspicious because there are no houses on the lane of old theatre, there's just a park opposite to it.  Before he could say anything my bus came and went inside , he shouted his name "Xavier" and asked what's mine , after waiting for a few seconds I replied "Anne, Anne Bronte". My bus started and I got settled down , my destination is one hour away .

The destination where I have to deliver this parcel ,it's our neighbouring Town but there's only one bus which goes there so I don't have any other option but to take this bus . I know the address where I have to deliver this parcel I have been there before , it's Mr Wilson he owns a shop of spare parts and tools for car , the bus dropped me at the neighborhood's bus stop and then it's 15 minutes walk from here .

After 15 minutes I reached Mr Wilson's shop and dropped the parcel , I've to receive a parcel as well which I have to give to my boss, he has prohibited us from doing any interaction while any transaction. After I delivered the parcel and picked up the new one , I again went to the bus stop to catch the bus to my town

After half an hour of waiting for the bus came and after an hour I reached my town . I walked till my house and rang the bell . Aunt Sophie opened the door , I went inside and directly went to my boss's room , knocked twice and entered the room but there was no one so I kept the parcel at the usual place and left the room .

It was almost 6 pm when I reached home , I got myself a snack went to my room , opened Netflix and decided to watch a movie after a shower .

Around 8:30 pn Aunt Sophie called me for dinner , she prepared mashed potatoes and veggies, not my favourite but I don't hate it . After dinner went back to my room . I was quite tired today , with delivery mostly .

Even though through this hectic day I couldn't stop thinking about the new boy in the town "Xavier" ,  I don't know why but I think this wasn't the only time that I'll see him , I think we will see each other soon .

With his thoughts roaming in my mind , sleep consumed me and for the first time I don't know why but I waited for the morning.
