He leaves his book and stands up quickly when he hears a scream coming from the apartment against his.
He runs to the window and opens it to see a young lady, opening her window and shooting something away with her hand.
She seems embarrassed when she notices him looking at her.
"Is everything okay?" He asks.
"Um, yeah, I was just trying to scare that bird away." She says. "I can't sleep from his voice."
"You're the new neighbor?" He says it as a fact more than a question.
"Yeah." She smiles.
"If I were you I'd drop it, that bird has been living here before me. He loves this tree." He says with a smile.
"What? I didn't sigh for this." She says with annoyance.
"You'll get used." He says.
She sighs as she leans on the window frame.
"You've been here for how long?" She asks.
"Five years." He nods.
"Wow." Her eyes widen. "Well maybe you can help me with the new place."
He doesn't have the opportunity to talk as she continues, eyes widen, hands moving in the air with excitement, "You can like tell me everything about the building, oh and I can cook you sometimes, oh oh and we can like, watch movies together and maybe…" She pauses as she notices his eyebrows raised.
"Sorry," She says, hands reaching to cover her forehead. "It's just you're the first normal human being that I see in this building, and I don't know anyone in this town and my friends aren't here and I'm just…" She pauses again when she notices that she's bumbling again.
"It's okay." He smiles with closed eyes. "I understand."
"You should know though, I'm not a good company at all. I can be really boring." He says.
"Ah, don't worry; I'll take care of that." She smirks, and then looks inside her apartment quickly, and he can tell that she's panicking.
"What's that smell?" She says, then her eyes widen. "Oh my god, the cake." She runs in quickly then comes back in less than a second.
"Sorry, I forgot, I'm Caroline." She smiles.
"Stefan." He chuckles.
"Stefan? Okay, Stefan." She beams then looks inside the apartment again. "I'll just…" She says in a rush as she motions with her hand to what know seems like the source of the smoke.
"Yeah, go." He says with a smile.
Then she's gone.
He can't help it but smile as he gets back to his couch and opens his book once more. And he laughs when he hears her screaming again. This is gonna be so fun.
