This boy just stares at me, and then a smile appears on his face,

"Oh, I see you two have met."

Dad came back into the kitchen but this time he's wearing a country hat.

"Morgan this is Cameron. He's our neighbor and thankfully helps out around here a lot."

I can't stop starring at his gentle brown eyes. He's different but in a nice way. A friendly way. Looking at him makes me think of a dog. Brown beautiful locks, sweet brown eyes, always got a smile on his face type of person. A person that you just have to like.

He sticks his hand out for me to shake but what I did next was unexpected; I hugged him.
"Hi Cameron," I say while hugging him.

At first he sat there surprised but he hugged me right way. The smell of the cologne and mint gave me chills. He's squeezing me hard and his hug was so warm and comforting. Just what I thought, I knew for sure this was the boy who carried me inside last night.

While all these thoughts were going through my head, I noticed we were still hugging and so did dad. So I let go.

"So, Eh, when are we going?"

"Well, actually, now that I think about it," Dad just stood there looking at Cameron.

"Cam, how about you show Morgan around, I got some work to do on the third floor and you guys can get to know each other better. What d'ya think?"

"Yeah, if that's you want me to do sir. " he said with that smile.

"Uh..."
They both looked at me, " Yeah..." I said with a fake smile.

"Ok", Dad says, "I'll be on the 3rd floor. If you need me, don't come up, just yell for me. See ya Cameron." he shoved the last bit of his chocolate chip pancakes in his mouth, hugged me sideways and kissed my forehead goodbye.

"Uh, bye!" I yell.

He went up the stairs and waved his hand to me, not even looking back.

I'm being honest, I'm kinda pissed, saying that I was supposed to spend time with him and that I have to now spend it with this new neighbor.

As his footsteps got quieter going up the stairs, I couldn't help but look back at the stranger to see how badly he was glaring at me.

As I turn around, I see he's already looking straight into my eyes. But he wasn't glaring. I don't know if he's mad at me for taking his time away from what ever he could be doing.

What I think was a fake smile appeared on his face.

"Come on," he grabs my hand "let me show you around. "
