 Skye  

My eyes wondered outside as the rain poured, reaching the ground with a heavy splash. Drops of rain hit the window racing down one by one. The grey clouds told me the day was going to be gloomy but I liked it. It gave the atmosphere a peaceful and tranquil feeling.

Sitting on the window sill I noticed how empty the street seemed. No one was outside and I guess it was because of the rain. But it was nice. For once when I looked outside I could take in the raw beauty of the place.

I carefully picked up my mug with both hands, ready to take in the hot tea. I bought the mug to my lips and took a sip, letting the warm fluid go down my throat. The drink went perfectly with the weather giving a warm feeling in my stomach.

I took the mug away from my mouth only to feel cold again. I blew in the drinking cup trying to cool down the refreshment. Again I took the cup to my mouth slurping in the tea when my attention drifted to the words on the mug. 'Be the change you wish to see in the world' The words were inspirational.

Mum had given the mug to me a few months ago. She said the words that were engraved reminded her of me. I didn't know what she meant by that but I never questioned her.

I shook out of thought when I heard a car storm pass and park in the driveway next door. It was a black colored car and looked like an Audi R8 but I wasn't sure. I had never seen the car on our street before and I knew none of the neighbors owned an Audi. I guess the person was new.

I gazed intently, seeing a tall figure get out of the car. He was holding a box in his hands wrapped with sticky tape so the contents in the box wouldn't fall out. I had never seen him before. He seemed new.

I saw another car come by but this one seemed familiar. It was red and small. The car drove slowly before coming to a halt at our driveway. It was mums car. She was back from work.

"Skye I'm home" mum yelled from downstairs on queue.

I had lost track of time staring outside and didn't realize it was 5 in the evening. I raced downstairs with the mug to greet mum. I placed the mug in the sink and washed my hands with the lavender scented soap.

"hey mum. How was work?" I asked.

"tiring" she sighed " they're asking for new ideas from me so I have to work on that" mum smiled at me reassuringly.

There was silence for a bit while mum made herself comfortable and I washed the dishes.

"Darling, I'm thinking of inviting the neighbors for dinner tonight. Is that alright with you?" mum said breaking the silence.

"yeah that's fine" I replied without a complaint. Although I had school and dance tomorrow, if mum was happy then I couldn't stop her.

"good. Then you can go invite the new neighbor that just moved in and i'll call Mr and Mrs Grayson" mum informed me.

My suspicion of the guy being new were right. He just moved in and I'm guessing he was rich. The expensive car and owning the biggest house on the street explained it.

I gave mum a nod before getting the umbrella and going to invite the new neighbor.

I was wearing pajama bottoms and a loose cotton jumper but I didn't care.

I walked down the driveway and over to the house next door. My knuckles slowly made contact with the brown wooden door to knock it. I closed the umbrella just as the door swung open.

The same tall figure stood in front of me. His mesmerizing brown eyes left me gazing at them and so did his plump, pink lips. His black hair was perfectly spiked up in a quiff and his eyebrows were shaped perfectly. He was beautiful.

"May I help you?" he asked bluntly.

"Um...yeah, my mum invited you over for dinner since you just moved in" I replied staring at the ground.

"Are Mr and Mrs Grayson coming?" he said with the same bluntness in his voice.

"yeah...I think so" I replied unsure "dinners at 8"

The stranger gave me a nod before closing the door signaling for me to leave. I opened the umbrella, water splashing all over me, leaving me wet. I decided to ignore that and flick my attention back to the house.
