Neighbour danger?

Why why why cosmic world????
Did you really have to make him my neighbor? I would've loved an emo girl!
I hear a knock on the door. Oh no it's him! I fix my hair and open up.
"What was that?" Yas asks
"Uhm I had to take a poop" I lie
"So spice and honey?!, romance and tears?,garlic bread and red wine?" Yas says
"What in the world Yas? Are you okay?" I ask
"You and your new neighbor are going to give us some drama right?"
"What no,you have to stop thinking that way Yas, I wouldn't even say a thing to him"
"Oh please,all romance books and movies start of this way and end up how I picture,have you seen 5 feet apart?"
"Yeah but I don't have mucus clog or cancer or whatever that is,and this is going to be different"
"You could get cancer so it can turn out that way"
"What sort of best friend are you?!?!?"
"Okay okay well let's go give him your mom's famous apple pie as a 'welcome to the neighborhood' gift"
"You go,I know the only reason you're interested is because of him and his friends"
"What I love his mom"
"You haven't even seen her Yas"
"Spirituality then"
"Zoom off Yas,where's Kobi?"
"He was about to come in after your little stunt but his dad called him urgently "
"I gotta call him"

I get into my room and change into my hello kitty pajamas and turn on my AC. I think I should clean this room.
"Yasminnn!!! Come up to my room let's clean it a bit before mom comes back so we can watch binge watch Manifest."
"On my way bitch"
Yasmin comes up and we get to work.
" eww what is this" Yas hold up a cup
"Oh my Starbucks coffee,I totally forgot to throw that out"
"You're disgusting"
I find things I didn't even know existed in my room.
An hour later and we're done. Gotta call Kob.
I put on my go cats grey hoodie and some red shorts.
I dial his number on FaceTime.

"Hi Kobi"
"Hey pretty"
"You left?"
"Yeah dad called,it was urgent"
"Okay,how's he tho,haven't seen him in ages"
"He's good,I rarely see him though"
"Oh"
"So new neighbor?"
"No we're not talking bout this,why are you and Yas so hooked up on it"
"I'm not,I don't even want to,I just don't want you to be broken,your literally still healing "
"Kobi,I do not have the energy for relationships,I have way too much going on for that,stop it"
"I hope so though"
"It is so Kob"

We talk for hours and he has to sleep. It's 6pm. I have assignments on chemistry,I start them and Oh lord these are hard. It's 7:54 and I'm done,I head downstairs and see my mom making dinner.
"Hi momma"
"Hey baby"
"Come help me cut the carrots"
She's making basmati rice and chicken sauce.
"How was school? "
"Not what I expected it to be"
"Hmm how?"
"We have these new boys in our class and-"
Suddenly the door bell rings.
"I'd get it mom"
I open the door and holy freaking stars it's the model neighbor. Punch Billie eilish in the face,call Ariana grande,slap prosper obasi because why in the freaking cow is he here?!?!?
"Uhm are you having a seizure" he asks. His voice is deep like the autumn moon...wait what?!??
"Oh" I stutter... "no,why are you in front of my door holding an oven plate?"
Kierra shut up.
"Very observation I see,well my mom asked me to give this to you and your mom,we're the new neighbors"
Not like I don't already know but my mind sinks.
"So uhm thank you,when are you guys moving out?"
"Excuse me" he sounds flabbergasted
"Oh no Uhm I-"
"Do you have a brain problem or cancer?"
Why's everyone adding cancer to me today.
"What's that supposed to mean"
"It means you're weird"
"I'm not!"
"Kierra who's at the door?" Mom shouts
"Uhm our new neighbors"
"Oh hello! Welcome to the neighborhood,I'm kierra's mom,you guys must be the same age or you must be probably older"
"Nice to meet you ma,I'm Mike,and I'm older"
He sounds so respectful and diligent.
"Kierra stop staring,go in and drop the casserole,isn't your hand burning?"
I quickly rush in.
"Bye weird girl" I hear Mike holler.
Well that was a weird first impression. This is going to be one heck of a ride.
Mom walks in.
"He seems nice"
"Don't be blinded mom"
"He's part of the new students I was telling you about"
"Aww neighbors and classmates "
"Mom stop it. Mom the rice is burning "
Jeez.
