It all started in one afternoon of February 27th, 2012, you had moved to London from America with your mom after your dad had past from cancer. It was extremely hard on your mom but she got a new job in London and wanted to start over with you. Across the street from your new house, you spot a kid about your age walking towards you with his older brothers, you run behind your mom because of your social anxiety.

"Hello, need any help moving in" said one of the older kids with a British accent.

"Oh that would be lovely, thank you dears" mom said as she past some small boxes to the older kids.

"Oh your American! Welcome to London!" Said one kid with excitement.

"Thank you, I'm Eiadora Grey, and this is my daughter Ellie Grey, say hi Ellie" mom said.

You stuffed your head behind your mom, not wanting to make any interactions with the boys.

"She's a bit shy" mom said while rubbing your back.

"Oh well that's okay, I'm Tom Holland" the oldest brother said.

"I'm Harry Holland, this is my twin brother Sam Holland" Harry said while pointing at Sam.

"And im Paddy!" Said paddy with excitement.

"Well nice to meet you all! Where are your parents?" Mom said wanting to get to know their parents.

"Mum is inside and dad is at work at the moment, shall we bring her?" Said Tom.

"That would be nice" mom said.

The 3 kids left and Paddy stayed to try and talk to you. Your mom went inside to put in some boxes, leaving you all alone with Paddy. Mind you, you are only 7 and he is 8.

"Hi" paddy said as he tried to make conversation.

"H-Hi.." you mumbled.

"You want to go play in my tree house" paddy said with excitement.

"I-I can ask my m-mom.." you mumbled.

You ran inside while Paddy waited outside. You asked your mom if you could go and she said yes. She was so happy you had finally found a friend.

"M-My mom said I can go" you stuttered.

"Great! Let's go! I'll race you!" Paddy said running.

You chased after him and went to his back yard. In the back yard you saw a pretty tree house with fairy lights.

"W-Wow this is so cool" you said with excitement.

You spent the day with paddy playing in his tree house while your mom got to know Nikki and later on Dom got to know your mom as well.
