I stood fronting my new home. I sighed already feeling homesick. Our new house was big. Very big in fact. But I couldn't help but wish we could go back to Washington. City life was going to be an immense change, all my life i had lived in a small town in Washington named Forks (yes the one from Twilight 😅).
LA wasn't that interesting, except for the few bookshops we would pass on the way. Of course I had suggested we visit them some time. Our house was in a rich neighbor hood not to far from the city. Our neighbors were a bunch of old people who probably didn't have long to live.
My mom insisted we bring baked goods to all the neighbors. I nagged her about making my brother go instead of me but she wouldn't give in.
"It'll be good for you social life," she told me, to be honest that kind of hurt.
And after about 10 minutes of bickering i finally gave in.
"Fine ill go, but only if you come with me," she agreed and we walked to the first neighbors house. The house was white, with gray accents like every other house on the block.
We walked up to the first house, which was directly next to us on the right. I hesitated before i grabbed onto their door knocker and knocked. In a blink of an eye an ancient women swung the door open. She grinned at me. revealing all her teeth, which were in too good shape to not be fake.
"You must be the new folks!" she said her voice sounding like every Granny in existence.
I smiled in response and held out the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.
"We...made you cookies!" I said trying to be enthusiastic even though i dreaded the whole event.
Her and my mom chatted for what seemed like ages! Right as i thought it would never end a boy tapped on my shoulder. I spun around with confusion. I looked up to see a boy around my age. He had a "your a waste of my time" look on his face.
I felt my body heat up, as I examined his face more. He was the most attractive boy i have seen in a while! He had dark brown almost black hair, and beautiful cerulean eyes. He was wearing rings on his hands, he appeared to be really muscular. I peered up from his hands. We made eye contact for a few moments, his eyes keeping me in a trance. I shifted my gaze away from his face.
"I hate to bug but do you need your lawn mowed?" he asked obviously not caring if he bugged or not. His voice was deep and raspy.
"Oh um this isn't my house sorry," I retorted moving to the side to reveal a talking mom and a wrinkly granny.
"We are going to head out now, it was nice talking to you," my mom said. She looked at the boy then me. She gave me a look and then told me to go to the next house. I nodded and turned around once more, to see the boy staring at me.
I watched as the girl walked off with her mom. Damn she was hot af. Her curly, brown hair, flowing over her shoulders. And her full, glossy lips. They almost made me blush. God why do i feel this way? I have never felt like this before.
I altered my head back towards the old lady and put on a fake smile. I asked her if she needed her lawn mowed. Before she could reply her husbend shouted a "No we dont son" between coughs. Before the old lady could make small talk i waved a goodbye and hurried to the next house.
(Time skip brought to you by me!)
After a while i had decided to end my days work here and head home. I opened my front door, being as silent as possible so my sister didn't notice. I rotated my head scoping out the living room. When the coast was clear I made a run for it up the stairs.
But before I could even make one step up the stairs, a mini me was at my side. My sister was only 7, but man she could talk for hours on end! She had dark brown hair like me, up in pigtails. And a beaming smile on her face.
"Guess what," she said springing on her heels. I couldn't help but smile, she always raised my mood, even on the worst days.
"What?" I asked arcing down to give her a hug.
"So me and mom are going to the movies later, and blah....isn't that great? And blah....Are you even listening?" she said, sass linked in her voice.
"Yeah sorry," I apologized.
