I woke up to the sound of my playlist playing, then I realized we just pulled in the driveway of my new home. When I was little, we moved all the time because of my dad's job. But since then we haven't moved in a while since my dad past away. I was 12 at the time of his death, so it hurt me more then my 5 year old brother Zachary. Zachary and my father never really had a bond with each other, one of the reasons was because dad was always at work but when he was home he was either sleeping or watching TV.
"Madelyn" my mom said with a soft voice. I pretended I had just woken up "yeah?" I asked "wake up, I need your help getting all the stuff inside." She answered.
As I got unbuckled, then opened the door I saw a boy run across the street with a bat and glove in his hands. He looked about the same age as me maybe older. He had wavy black hair, and was wearing a jersey, with plane blue shirt on up under it, with baggy jeans rolled up to the ankle.
After I was observing this boy run across the street, I walked over to my mom who was staring at me with a grin on her face. "I see you are already checking out the cute boys here." She laughed " I told you there were going to be some" she added. "Yeah right, as if" I laughed. "Yeah okay, now come on and help me with these boxes, this one is heavy." She said.
After we got done unloading the boxes and un packing in the bedrooms, I made my way done stairs. "Hey mom, do you need anymore help with anything?" I asked "no honey it's okay. Actually, how about you go to the park with your brother" she said to me with a big grin on her face. "Okay, I guess I can do that." I said to here with an unsure look. "Thank you so much! I think he is getting home sick."
As me and Zac walked to the park, I looked around to notice the face of the boy I saw on the street. As I got a better look it looked like he was walking around with a bunch of younger kids and a couple his age. As they all walked past us I heard them arguing about who gets to hold the new ball. As he walked past me we made eye contact, he had big brown eyes with an annoyed look on his face.
When me and Zac arrived at the park, Zac ran off to the swings as I sat down on the park bench. After a while Zac came back and sat down next to me for a while. As I handed him a bottle of water, I felt someone staring at me, I looked over to see a blonde boy that look around my age sit right next to me. I looked at him with a confused look on my face, as he just stared in my eyes. "Did you know that you have really pretty eyes" he said in a soft voice. "Yeah I get to see them every morning in the mirror." I laughed "well I guess your right" he laughed. "I'm Jordan, but you can call me Phillips" he said with a flirty look on his face. "I'm Madelyn, and you can call me mads" I replied "well it is nice to meet you, mads" he smiled "right back at ya" I added.
I felt my cheeks start to turn red, but I didn't care, all I cared about right now was him staring into my soul. "Well, I suppose your new in town?" He asked "yeah, we just got here today" I answered "well if you want to, i can show you around sometime" he flashed a smile. "That sound great!" I replied "awesome, meet you here tomorrow at 1:00?" He asked "uh yeah, okay well I guess I will see you then.
As Zac and I walked home, I couldn't stop thinking about Phillips. How was he so charming? Why did he smell like strawberry's? Oh my gosh, what am I thinking, I just met him today, and I'm already obsessing over him? Ugh!!
"Hey guys, how was the park? Did you make any new friends?" Mom asked "no, but mads did" Zac said with a playful wink. "Oh really now, who?" She asked. "he's name is-"
I covered his mouth with my handed "Zac shut up" I whispered screamed "he?" My mom asked "yeah he, and his name is Phillips, and since I'm new he asked if he could show me around town, if that's okay with you of course" I smiled. "Yes that sounds like a good idea!" She said. "Okay, we'll I'm going to get ready for bed, goodnight" I yawned.When I was walking up the stairs to my room. I was thinking about Phillips, and what do I wear, or better yet how do I look. When I got to my room I walked into the bathroom and got ready for bed. After I was done taking a shower, then brushing my hair and teeth. I opened to door and plowed onto my big soft bed. And then in seconds I fell asleep.
