The New Neighbour



Anna is twenty-eight years old. She lives in a small apartment in Manchester. Her apartment is on the third floor of an old building. It is not very big, but Anna likes it. There is a small kitchen, a bedroom and a living room with two large windows.



Anna lives alone, but she is not lonely. She has a lot of friends, and her sister lives only ten minutes away. Anna also has a cat. His name is Charlie. He is big, grey and very lazy.



It is Saturday morning. Anna is at home. She is in the kitchen with a cup of coffee when she hears a noise outside her apartment.



She opens the door.



There are several boxes in the hall. A young man is standing next to them. He has a large box in his hands.



Hello, Anna says.



The man looks at her and smiles.



Hi! Sorry about the noise.



Thats okay, Anna says. Are you moving in?



Yes. Im your new neighbour.



Oh! Welcome to the building. Im Anna.



Im Daniel. Nice to meet you.



Nice to meet you too.



Daniel puts the box on the floor.



Is that heavy? Anna asks.



Very heavy, Daniel says and laughs. I have too many books.



Anna looks at all the boxes.



Do you need help?



No, thank you. My brother is downstairs. Hes bringing more boxes.



At that moment, Charlie comes out of Annas apartment. He walks slowly towards Daniel and sits next to his feet.



Oh, hello! Daniel says. Is this your cat?



Yes. His name is Charlie.



Daniel sits down and touches Charlies head. Charlie immediately closes his eyes.



He likes you, Anna says. Thats unusual. He doesnt like many people.



Really? I love cats.



Then youre a good neighbour already, Anna says.



Daniel laughs.



Do you live here alone? he asks.



Yes, just me and Charlie. What about you?



I live alone too. Im new to Manchester.



Where are you from?



Im from Bristol, but I have a new job here.



What do you do?



Im a photographer.



That sounds interesting!



And you?



Im an English teacher.



Daniel smiles.



Perfect. Maybe you can help me with my grammar.



Maybe, Anna says. But lessons arent free.



They both laugh.



A man appears at the end of the hall with two more boxes.



Daniel! he calls. Are you going to help me?



Thats my brother, Daniel says. I should go.



Of course.



Thanks for the welcome, Anna.



Youre welcome. See you later.



See you!



Anna goes back into her apartment. Charlie stays in the hall.



Charlie! Anna calls.



The cat looks at her but doesnt move. He is still sitting next to Daniel.



Daniel smiles.



I think I already have my first friend in Manchester.



Anna laughs.



I think you do.

A Very Busy Morning



Emma works in a small travel agency in Leeds. She likes her job, but she doesnt like mornings.



Every weekday, Emma gets up at seven oclock. She usually stays in bed for five more minutes and checks her phone. Then she gets up, takes a shower and gets dressed.



At half past seven, she goes into the kitchen. She makes a cup of coffee and usually has toast with cheese for breakfast. Sometimes she has an egg or some fruit too.



Emma leaves home at eight oclock. She walks to the bus stop and takes the number 16 bus to work. The journey takes about twenty minutes. Her work starts at nine, so she usually has plenty of time.



But today is different.



Emma opens her eyes and looks at her phone.



8:17.



What?!



She sits up quickly.



Her alarm clock is silent.



Oh no!



Emma usually needs an hour to get ready in the morning. Today she has less than fifteen minutes.



She jumps out of bed and runs to the bathroom.



There is no time for a shower. She washes her face, brushes her teeth and quickly gets dressed.



Coffee, she says to herself. I need coffee.



She runs into the kitchen and turns on the coffee machine. While she waits, she looks for something to eat.



There is some bread on the table, but there is no cheese.



No breakfast today.



Her coffee is ready. Emma takes one quick drink.



Ouch! Too hot!



She puts the cup down and looks at the time.



8:28.



I have to go!



Emma puts on her coat, takes her bag and runs out of the apartment.



She is halfway down the street when she suddenly stops.



My phone!



She looks inside her bag.



No phone.



Emma runs back home, opens the door and finds her phone on the bed.



Okay. Now I can go.



She runs downstairs again.



At the bus stop, she sees the number 16 bus.



Wait!



Emma runs towards it, but the doors close.



The bus leaves.



No, no, no!



The next bus comes in fifteen minutes. Emma looks at the time again. She knows she is going to be late.



She takes out her phone and calls her colleague, Lucy.



Hi, Lucy.



Morning! Where are you?



Thats the problem. Im still at the bus stop.



Lucy laughs.



Did you sleep too long again?



Again? This never happens!



Emma, it happened last month.



That was different.



How?



Emma thinks for a moment.



I dont remember.



Lucy laughs again.



Dont worry. The office is quiet this morning. Just get here safely.



Thanks, Lucy.



Emma puts her phone back in her bag.



Then she notices something strange.



People at the bus stop are looking at her feet.



Emma looks down.



On her left foot, she is wearing a black shoe.



On her right foot, she is wearing a white trainer.



Emma closes her eyes.



Perfect.



An old woman next to her smiles.



Busy morning?



You have no idea, Emma says.



Finally, the next bus arrives.



Emma gets on and finds a seat near the window. For the first time that morning, she relaxes.



Then her phone rings.



It is Lucy.



Emma?



Yes?



Before you come to the office, can you buy some milk? We dont have any.

Of course. Why not?

The Cat at the Window



Sophie lives in a quiet street in York. She has a small house with a blue door and a little garden.



Sophie works from home. She is a graphic designer, so she spends a lot of time at her computer.



She likes working from home because her mornings are quiet. She makes coffee, turns on her computer and starts work at nine oclock.



But this Monday morning is different.



At about ten oclock, Sophie hears a strange sound.



Meow.



She stops typing.



Meow.



Sophie looks around the room.



What is that?



She gets up and walks to the window.



There is a cat outside.



The cat is sitting on the other side of the window and looking directly at her.



Well, hello, Sophie says.



The cat is small and orange. It has green eyes, white paws and a long tail. It also has a red collar.



Sophie opens the window a little.



Are you lost?



Meow.



That isnt very helpful.



The cat looks at her.



Sophie laughs.



Okay. Wait there.



She goes into the kitchen. Sophie doesnt have a cat, but she has some chicken in the fridge.



She puts a little chicken on a plate and takes it outside.



The cat immediately runs towards her.



You are hungry!



The cat eats all the chicken in less than a minute.



Then it follows Sophie back to the house.



No, no, Sophie says. You cant come inside. You have an owner.



The cat sits in front of the door.



Sophie looks at its red collar.



Maybe you have an address on your collar.



She carefully looks at it.



There is a small silver tag.



It says:



MILO

22 Green Street

07700 315 824



Milo! So thats your name.



Milo looks at her.



And you live on Green Street.



Sophie knows Green Street. It is only five minutes from her house.



She takes her phone and calls the number on the tag.



A woman answers almost immediately.



Hello?



Hi. Is this Milos owner?



There is a short silence.



Milo? Do you have Milo?



Yes. Hes in my garden.



Oh, thank goodness! Is he okay?



Yes, hes fine. And hes definitely not hungry anymore.



The woman laughs.



Im so sorry. Milo is always hungry.



My name is Sophie. I live on King Street.



Im Rachel. I live very close to you. I can come and get him now.



Great. Well wait for you.



Sophie ends the call and looks at Milo.



Your owner is coming.



Milo walks to the door again.



No. Youre staying outside.



Milo looks up at her with his big green eyes.



Five minutes later, Sophie is sitting at her desk again.



Milo is sitting next to her computer.



Sophie looks at him.



You are very good at getting what you want.



Milo closes his eyes and starts to sleep.



A few minutes later, the doorbell rings.



Sophie opens the door.



A young woman is standing outside. She has long dark hair and a worried face.



Milo!



Milo comes to the door.



Rachel picks him up.



Im so happy to see you! Where were you?



Milo says nothing.



He was at my window, Sophie explains.



Rachel looks at the cat.
