Cassie was awakened by a loud clamor coming from the out side, from the house next to hers. her body shoots up like as though she had been awakened from a nasty nightmare. she looked around her room that was flooded with darkness, but she can tell that there is no one inside.
Then she someone noticed that the sound came from the outside. Bafflwd and anxious concerning the strange noise, she stood up and walked towards the window. Her stride are long, making sure that she may reach the window fast as possible.
She pushed the white curtain of her windows, which is made of slik and her eyes narrowed when she noticed that it was excessively dark and too early for noise. Her eyes slowly squint , tempting to see through the dark despite of the thick fog roaming outside in the blinding darkness, she still perceived a handsome man in his twenties moving boxes into the abandoned house next to hers. His dark figure was touched by the yellow streetlights, making cassie to take a good good look at him.
then she noticed, the noise came from a box filled with books.
I think he may need some help, she nods at her own thoughts. Cassie slide her window opened, peeking her head out. The cool brezze greeted her nostrils and skin, but she didnt shiver. She waved at the man standing in the street, trying to get his attention afriad if she yells she would of awaken anyone, but the man didnt notice her gesture. Makeing a groan that escaped her lips.
"Hey" she yelled "could I do something with those?"
"No thanks." The male yelled back at her. "I can take this myself."
He ducked, gathering the books one by one and placeing them back into the now empty box,not until he started to stuff it with boxs. She observes his as the man pickes up every peice of literature off the ground. The way jis biceps apears when he flexes his arms, that his shirt became stretched whenever he ducks for a book, and it makes his muscle become visible through the thin cloth that he was wearing.
The suddenly, the man looked at her direction. She felt somewhat awkward that she'd been caught staring at him "okay." Cassie nodded awkwardly before she closed the window. She pushed the curtains back into its preiois position as it was before, then went back to bed.
Yhe thought about the man. She thought that he was undeniably handsome, but in some case, he's also intimidating, she also pondered about the books; it was weird that a man reads that many books. However, she brushed the thoughts off from her racing mind, then wishing for some sleep
