Eben's POV

I stretch my long legs out as I walked to the Pick Up spot. It was a long plane ride and I was happy it was over. I spot a taxi chilling right outside the airport and smile.

I walk up to the driver. "Hey, can you take me to 1609 Elliott Drive?"

The man at the steering wheel nods his head. "Okay, you just need to sit in the back." He explained.

I nod my head. "No problem." 

I then put my stuff in the trunk and then slide into the backseat of the taxi. A brunette already back there. The young male plugs his headphones in and seems to go off into his own world.

I just stare at the window, shocked when we come up to a mansion of a house. Damn! Am I going to be living here!?

"This is it. 1609 Elliott Drive." The driver of the taxi called out, waving to the big house. Guess I am going to be living here! Sweet!

"Thank you." The boy beside me said before getting out of the taxi. Huh, he sounded really familiar.

"Thank you as well, have a safe travel back." I tell the man with a smile, before getting out of his taxi and heading to the back for my luggage as well. I got my things, the brunette not paying any attention to me, making me grin and laugh to myself.

Once the taxi drives away, the boy looks at me, his pretty blue with specks of green and even golden brown eyes widen in shock.

"Hi, nice to meet you. You live here?" The male asked, holding his hand out for a handshake.

Seriously he sounds and now that I can get a good look at him, even looks familiar. Maybe we went to the same school together and he moved away before I got to know him or something. Seriously this is going to bug me.

It is then I realize he had his hand out and I extend my out to shake his.

"Kinda. Just moved in." I tell him, "well, technically not yet but almost." I correct myself.

"Cool, which house?" The brunette asked.

I look behind us and point to the house. "That one."

The boy's eyes light up with recognition, did he figure out where he knew me?! "Oh, same house as mine." He instead said.

"What do you mean?" I ask, not getting it. My brain still trying to figure out where I knew this teen.

"I mean that we both will be staying at the same house." The teen explained to me. Oh! That's why his eyes lit up in recognition, it was the house not me! Damn, I was really hoping it was me.

"Oh cool." I say with a grin, at least I will be able to see more of him, he was pretty cute.

"So, what's your name?" I ask, trying to get to know him better.

"Jonah, what's yours?" He asks me back. Nope, I don't remember any Jonah's in my school. Guess that theory checks out.

"Eben." I answer him, as we walked to the front door of the house. Jonah rang the doorbell and it isn't long before the door opens, a young man there.

"Please follow me." The man says, and we do just that.

"Welcome and take a seat. Mr.Ferguson will be right with you." The young man said before leaving.

Jonah sat down on a couch, getting comfortable. 'Might as well.' I think before sitting down on the couch by him. I wonder how long Mr.Ferguson will be?

"So, why LA?" I ask Jonah, wanting to continue to get to know him.

"Wanted to follow my dreams." Jonah answered me.

"Ahh, I get that. That's why am here to." I tell him with a smile.

Jonah grins back at me. "Really?"

"Yep." I say while popping the 'p'.

We don't get the chance to talk more about it because Mr.Ferguson comes in.

"Wonderful! You, the last of the guests, have arrived. There are four other people, Corbyn, Jack, Daniel, and Zach, that will be staying here as well. Mr.Roberts is my assistant and will show you to your rooms. I am sure you both want to rest. Feel free to do anything in this house, eat anything you would like and watch anything you would like. My house is your house." Mr.Ferguson said with a friendly smile.

"Thank you." Jonah and I say at the same time.

It is then Mr.Roberts comes. "Follow me to your rooms."

Jonah and I look at each other and smile. Yep, what a great start to a new chapter in my life.
