It's 5 in the morning here. I usually go jogging at this time, but here I am freaking out like a dainty girl who is afraid to go to school for the first time in her life. I barely slept at night, indeed wake up at 4 am, and for a straight one hour, I am doing one thing which I am perfect at, which is 'Overthinking'.

My parents are awake and have gone for a morning walk. I tried to convince them to let me know, but mom said she would after they come back, and meanwhile, I have to get ready. I wasn't in the mood for jogging perhaps, so I decided to get ready. 

I walked into my bathroom which is smaller than my previous one but still, it's great. I put a pea-sized toothpaste on my brush, and then I brushed my teeth for 5 minutes in all directions. After that, I stripped off my clothes. The moment I did that, the cold air hit my warm body and sent shivers down it. I quickly entered the shower.

I took exactly 15 minutes for the shower. I walked back into my room while wrapping the towel around me tightly.

"Oops!" Arnav shouted

"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING HERE?" I was startled by his unexpected presence, and the fact that I was standing just in a towel in front of a tween didn't help me to control myself. He rushed back into the hall without saying anything, not that I am complaining because I am glad he did that.

I quickly wore my clothes and rushed after that boy who just decided to greet me with his unexpected presence.

"So Arnav dear, what were you doing in my room, no... What are you doing here at my house at 6 in the morning?" I whisper-shouted at him.

"Well, just curious why weren't you there for morning jog so so, to feed my curiosity, I decided to drop by here." He sheepishly grinned.

"And how did you enter the house?"

"Well, I may or may not have used the spare key." His smile got bigger and bigger with each passing second as if he was proud of his actions and at the time his shy sight was everywhere but at me.

"You know it's a crime to enter someone else's house without informing them." I teased

"In my defense, I asked aunty Kath, and she agreed." Of course, she would. Hehe, the fact he calls mom aunty. 

"And who told you to barge into my room without my permission?" I asked, ignoring his earlier words.

"Umm... Do I have to take permission to go into my lovely sis's room?" He answered back with a question while showing his doe eyes. Awe he is so adorable.

"Whatever! And mister doesn't show that face to me."

"Which one?" He asked, again blinking his eyes continuously.

"Stop that or else..."

"Or else what?" He summoned, and I gripped him by his tee-shirt, pulled him down towards the couch, and started tickling him but what surprised me was that he wasn't laughing indeed he was smirking.

"Hey, why aren't you laughing?" I asked, and he freaking smirked again. How dare he?

"Cause I am not ticklish, but someone says you are," and by that, he started tickling the hell out of me.

"Okhay, staph....." I was laughing hysterically

"You little devil, let go of me," I shouted, and surprisingly he did. I watched his face to see what came over him. He was sad.

"Hey, what happens?" I concernedly asked

"Nothing!" He said, ignoring eye contact.

"No, tell me." I don't know how I get so comfortable around him so fast. It's just been 5 days, yet it feels like he was there with me my entire life. 

He is smarter than the boys of his age as he can frequently talk in both languages as well as he has the qualities of maturity and childishness at the same time. 

I know he started learning all things from an early age, and he was now planning to learn a different language like Italian and French as he had mentioned earlier. His parents are way too hard on him but this will be beneficial for his future. 

He is a strong boy for obeying his parents but as he hits his teen years, he may be a rebel and ignorant of these facts that he obliviously followed. 

"Okay, if you are forcing me this much, I will tell you," He said dramatically, and a small smile danced on his lips, but he tried to control it.

"No, if you don't want to then don't." I playfully replied as I knew he was just acting.

"No, I know you want to know, and you are forcing me to tell you, so I will." He insists

"It's okay, you don't have...." He cut me off

"I said you want to listen, so I will tell you, no further argument," He said in a cute dangerous voice that was harmless.

"Okay...." I extended the word a little longer.

"umm...You know sorry for entering your room just like that, and also the fact you can't tickle me." He smirked and started running away, but I held him back and started tickling him. He may have a ticklish spot. I tickled him in the stomach but no response. 

"It's not true, you must have one spot where you feel ticklish and I am gonna find it."

He was lying like a boss and here I am finding the spot. I held his legs and started tickling him barefoot.

"Gotcha!" I shouted whereas Arnav laughed continuously.

"See, I told you," I smirked in triumph. I let him go as he was getting short of breath. After he gets back to normal he asked me why I wasn't there for the jogging today. Shit!! I forgot that I was freaking out.

"Hey, I asked you why you weren't there for jogging today."

"You don't have to repeat, I heard what you asked earlier itself."

"So you must know that I asked a question which we humans usually replied with an answer." The boy knows how to sass, amusing!

"I was just freaking out for today," I said while nervousness kicks back in me.

"What's today?"

"I have a meeting with the principal of my soon to be new high school."

"Don't worry it will be cool and I know you will rock."

"Thanks for the motivation but let's be honest honest, it's easy to say and hard to do."

"You are just freaking out. It's not a biggie. It will be a piece of cake."

"Well, I have already mentioned that and it's easy for you as it's your home, not mine. I am a foreigner here and people will treat me differently here."

"I wouldn't disagree with you but tell me what's negative about that? It's great that you will be getting special treatment. Believe me, if I was in your place I would be looking forward to enjoying the perks rather than stressing over them." I hate that he is right.

"I know I am right." He said with his smugness

"I never said that" I defend my unspoken thoughts

"I knew that, but that doesn't change the fact that you haven't thought that."

"Whatever!" I said dismissing the topic

"You always said that when you know the other one is right." He stated.

"Whatever!" Oh shit! I just prove his point right.

"See, told ya!" he winked. 

"Good Morning Arnav!" Dad greeted

"Good Morning Uncle." He said with his million-dollar smile. I bet if this little boy came and stayed in Miami he would be famous there because of his golden charisma and personality. The so-called golden boy of Miami.

"Good morning to you, Aunty Kath." I just can't stop laughing when he calls mom aunty.

"Awe dear Good morning and you can call me aunt Kath, aunty seems too old for me." Mom was already flattered by Arnav's presence.

"Mom will you please tell me now to which school I am going?" I whined

"You don't know it yet?" Arnav asked and started laughing

"No, but why are you laughing? do you know?"

"Of course, after all, you are going to my school with me."

"And you didn't tell me that earlier?" I asked as I was bewildered. This boy always babbled about every single thing and he didn't tell me that I was going to the same school as him.

"I thought you knew it and you don't like it when someone keeps babbling the same thing." He pouted.

"Well, duh! I don't. You should have told me earlier."

"Katie! Stop it. You know it now and so just stop wasting your time." Mom defended Arnav who was feeling bad for not telling me.

"Arnav, why are you making that face, you dumbegg come with me and tell me about your school. Again tell me your school name."

"Why call me a dumb egg?" I should control my mouth after all he is still a child. I watched over mom and dad. They held their faces like they were shouting 'Bad Katie, you should have controlled that mouth of yours.' On the other end, they were curious about my answer to this. What good parents I got. 

"Um...it's nothing, it's just that you look like an egg and then you behave dumb so I called you dumbegg." Both my parents hold a face of 'is that what you in last come up with?' I was kinda proud of my newfound theory though.

"I don't look like an egg and your memory is so weak sis." he humored and I gave him a harmless glare. 

"Whatever!" Thank my weak memory, that he didn't go into deep thinking about that. 

"So you agree that you have weak memory" oops!! I seriously have to get rid of this habit of mine

"Hey, are you doing to tell me or not?" I was getting irritated by him now.

"What if I say no?" He smirked

"Okay then, I will not talk to you ever."

"Hey! I NEVER SAID NO, DON'T BE MAD." He shouted in panic, hehe he got scared easily.

"So...tell me the name of the school and things about it."

"You didn't listen to me earlier, I am hurt." He starts drama again.

"Stop with the drama and in my defense, you were just babbling about how all teachers there love you."

"Okay, Okay!! So the school name is one and only," and he paused.

"Oh c'mon, don't be such a drama queen." He rolled his eyes and continued.

"Drum rolls plz!" He nudged me and I gave in.

"Dum dum dum!!" I say with my least enthusiasm.

"Modernite School." Finally, he revealed it.

"So how is it like?" I asked curiously

"Well, you will get to know when you will go there."

"NO, you tell me."

"Okay, I will."

"What? Are you going with me?"

"Of course, that's another thing if you don't want me to." When he said that I was some kind of relieved that I wasn't going to be alone and I am glad that he is coming.

"Great!"

"Yeah, I know how great I am."

"I wasn't complimenting you, idiot." I poked his head with my index finger.

"I know you won't accept the fact but that's okay. So you wanna see how our school looks like?"

"Why not?" we went into my room and I gave him my laptop so he could type the school's name with the locality and open the images. Whoa, this is huge.

"Wow! It's wonderful"

"I know right. Wait here, I am going to ask Aunty oops Aunt Kath, if I can go with you." He said and rushed out of my room. I know Mom wasn't going to deny and would agree instantly, nevertheless, I let him go for his satisfaction. I searched the route from my location to the school.

"Katie! We are leaving in 5 minutes, so get ready." It was already 7:30 am and we have to meet the principal at 8 am and it will be a 15 to 20 minutes ride from here as I have checked it. I quickly saved the image of the school and sent it to Lex but she isn't online so she will see it when she is.

I shut my laptop off and grabbed my phone and some documents related to academics and other activities related to high school which will be needed today at the meeting.

I swear I wasn't this anxious in my whole 15 years of life.
