Today I got up got ready and heard a knock on the door, when I opened the door I didn't recognize any of the people. "Hi we are your new neighbors" the woman says. "Hi im Izzy" I reply to them. "This is for you and your family" the older woman says as she hands me a plate full of cookies. "Thank you may I ask what are you guys names" i say politely. "Im Penelope and this is my mother Lydia and my children Alex and Elena" Penelope says while admiring my family. "Whose at the door" my father yells from another room. "ven aquí papá" I tell him. "You speak spanish beautiful" Lydia mentions. My father comes running into the room. "Hi im Carlos, Izzys father" he introduces himself. "You should come over for a bit" Elena smiles to me. "Papa can i go" i asked him. "Si mamita" he replies. I walk over to there apartment with them. "Make your self comfortable izzy" mrs alvarez states with a smile on her face. "How old are you" elena questions. "Im 14 but ill be 15 in a month and a half" i respond. "Cool, I'm 17 and my brother is 15" she tells me. I look at a picture of Penelope thats sitting on the side table. "Was your mom in the army" i ask amazed. "Yeah she was" alex answers my question.


 A few hours pass by of talking with their family then I finally go back home. "How was your time" my father says while walking into my room. "It was fun" I say without looking up from my computer. "I noticed that boy looking at you" he states with a stern voice. "What boy" I told him, knowing exactly what he was talking about. "The Alvarez Boy". " i don't even really know him" my voice cracks trying to distract him to change the subject. "Fine , pretend you don't know anything, I see how it is," he says. "Dinner is ready in 5 minutes" he says while walking back into the kitchen. I roll my eyes and throw my head back onto my bed. My mother died when I was 9 years old so it's been 5 years since I had a mother figure. She was in a car crash on her way home from work. I will never forget that day. "Dinners ready Nena" I heard him call after I zoned out. "Coming" i shout back to him.
