It was a fairly good morning. I sat at the house's patio minding my own business listening to Radiohead while reading Half Blood Prince for the tenth time. I do that a lot. Multitasking all the time when I saw in the distance a fairly huge man walking towards the house. I put down my iPod and stared at the giant. I know that it is rude to stare at people like that but he reminds me of someone that I know. I was close to a whale once. That was the nickname that my not-so-friendly friends called him. Thomas M. Grint was his real name and he was one of my good friends. This huge man reminds me of him and as he got nearer the resemblance was so striking. He said something to me but I just stared at him, more like gawking at him. It was the most embarrasing situation. He just smiled at me and it was the most amazing smile. He had beautiful dimples on both sides of his cheek.
"Hello there miss", he said still smiling.
"Hi", I managed to smile back.
"Is this the Ramsey's residence?"
"Yes," I wonder how he knew.
"Well, I'm here to check on your mom's car. Is she around?"he asked. Before I got the chance to answer him, Aunt Lily came out with grease on her hands.
"Hi, you must be Jimmy right? From Big Jim Auto?"Aunt Lily asked looking rather annoyed.
"Yes maam, I am,"he confirmed.
"You are late. But never mind, the car is at the back. Come on." Aunt Lily said while gesturing Jimmy to follow her. I just sat there watched them walked to the garage at the back of the house. Suddenly I miss Tom. Maybe I will call him tonight. Maybe.
