*Zoeys POV*
"So this is our house" I ask looking at my dad.
"Yup, isn't it beautiful" he asks looking so proud with his choice of house.
"The prettiest" I lie. Gosh I hate this house, it is so ugly. Even River seems to be scared of it which is weird because she loves to explore everything.
"Lets go inside, come on Riv" I call and she comes bouncing out sniffing the ground around her.
As I walk in, the house actually looks nice considering the outside looks like trash and it has very little stuff in it. "Dad, where's my room" I ask.
"Up the stairs, it's the last door in the hall" he replies walking in with his bags.
"Thanks Dad" I say as I head up the stairs. Walking up the stairs I look at the wall on my left and notice there's nothing on the wall which looks really strange. I follow Dad's directions and found my room in no time.
I open the door and my room is huge. River runs in as I'm just standing there taking in the sight of the huge empty room. All that's in my room is a bed, a big walk-in closet, a carpet under the bed, many windows, and now a dog.
I walk in and River jumps on the bed and I flop down next to her. The bed is sooo comfy compared to the truck seats.
I reluctantly get up and grab my bag. "Let's see what's in here, clothes, clothes and more clothes" I say digging through my bag. "Hairbrush, shampoo and conditioner, and my blade" I say, pulling out my blue handle switchblade.
"Zo, could you come here sweetie" my dad hollers from downstairs.
"Coming" I yell back.
I run downstairs, miss the last step and nearly fall but I catch myself. "Ya Dad, you called" I ask and spot her "who's she?"
"Hi, I'm Willow, your neighbor" says a cute little girl.
"Hi, how old are you" I ask. She looks quite young to be walking to a stranger's house alone.
"14" she replies. She's older than I thought, she looks about 11. "Don't worry I know I look younger than I actually am. I get told it all the time" she adds.
"So what do you got there" my dad asks.
"Cookies. I made them earlier this week. I thought I would bring some over and meet my new neighbors" Willow says cheerfully, handing my dad the cookies.
"Oh, thanks" I say and River comes running from my room. Of course River goes straight to Willow, she loves meeting people.
Willow drops to her knees and starts giving River a belly rub. "Hi sweet girl" she says. "What's her name" she asks, looking up but still petting River.
"River" I say and River looks up and runs off into the house.
"Where'd she go" Willow asks, getting up.
"I don't know" I say. I start to call for her but she comes back holding the blanket my mom crotched about a year and a half ago. I start laughing. "Riv wanted to show off her blanket I guess" I say.
"Did you make it" she asks me.
"No, my mom made it about a year and a half ago" I say.
"Oh, where is your mom" she asks.
"She died of leukemia about a year ago" I say.
"I'm sorry I didn't know" Willow says very quietly.
"It's ok" I say.
"I should get going, nice meeting you guys" she says standing up.
"Nice meeting you too" my dad says.
"Bye Willow" I say. She waves as she walks away.
"Well she was nice" my dad says.
"Yup" I say, turning to face him. "What's for supper" I ask.
"Crap I didn't think about that" he says wide eyed. "Uhhh let's go out for supper" he says.
"Ok" I nod.
