"There, done" I say closing my dresser after putting in my last shirt. Do I smell food? I walked downstairs to see my aunt cooking lunch.

"Whatcha making?" I asked

"Someone's mood has changed" she smiles

"Hey, I haven't eaten since 8:00 am, it's 2:00 pm, I'm starving, besides, food can change anyone's mood" I laugh

"Very true, I'm making Mac n Cheese, it might take a little while longer, why don't you go make some friends" she says. Socialize?

"I'd rather not" I say

"Hon, there are a lot of kids your age in the neighborhood, you might even see some cute boys" she says wiggling her eyebrows.

"Aunt Hilary! Don't even start" I laugh

"Boys boys boys boys" she mocks me.

"Whatever, I'll go out but if I make one friend, you can't bug me to go out and socialize anymore" I say

"Jess I know that you've had a rough past with people in your school, but you can't let that stop you from making more friends, not all people are like those girls" she says

"I know, thanks" I say "I'll be back soon"

I walked outside and started walking along the sidewalk. A few minutes after walking I heard music. Being the nosy person I am, I had to go follow. The music let me to someone's back yard. I turned the corner to see a boy about my age playing the guitar, singing a song I hadn't heard before. Maybe he wrote it? I took another step and stepped on a dog bowl. He turned around and looked at me.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to intrude" I said before trying to walk away.

"You didn't intrude, it's fine" he says with an amazing smile.

"Oh okay...thanks, I better get going though, see you later" I say before leaving. That was so embarrassing, I can't believe I did that, even worse, I'm not coming home with a friend. Wait! I walk back to his yard.

"Hey uh I could use a favor" I say biting my lip.

"Yeah sure, what?" He asks

"Uh...well.. I just moved here...and my aunt was...is bothering me about making friends, I was wondering if uh...you could come with me and uh say that you are my friend or something like that" I say

"Oh okay sure" he says putting down his guitar and walking towards me.

"Thank you so much, I owe you" I say walking towards my house.

"No problem" he says.

We arrive at her house and I walk inside along with..

"Hey btw what's your name" I ask

"Daniel, yours?" He asks

"Jess" I say with a smile.

I walk inside with Daniel and see my aunt at the kitchen table.

"Oh you made a friend!" She says getting up. She shakes his hand and smiles.

"Aunt Hilary, this is Daniel, Daniel this is my aunt Hilary." I say introducing them.

"Hi Mrs. Hilary" he says shaking her hand. She looks at me and wiggles her eyebrows. I give her the death stare.

"Nice to meet you Daniel" she says

"Alright well we should go" I say quickly

"No, why so quickly, daniel do you want to have lunch with us? I made Mac n cheese" she says. I look at daniel and give him the 'no' look.

"Sure, why not" he says.

"Okay! Come sit, It'll be served in a few minutes" she says turning around and continuing cooking.

I lean over to Daniel and whisper "why did you say yes?"

"Because she seems nice, and so do you" he laughs

"Yeah that's the problem, she's too nice"

"Okay, it's ready kids, come get some" she says grabbing two bowls from the cabinet.

"Thank you" he says grabbing a bowl.

"Yeah thanks Aunt hil" I say. I've called her hil since I was a toddler, see, I couldn't quite say Hilary so she told me to say Hil instead. Now I call her that all the time.

"No problem kids, I already ate so I'm going to run up to the grocery store to get something" she says grabbing her purse.

"Okay" I say eating my food. She grabs her keys and walks out.

"So, now that I'm your 'friend" he says with finger quotes. "tell me about yourself"

"Well uh I'm Jess, I just moved here from Colorado because..well nevermind...and I'm living with my aunt as you can see, I don't really have any friends yet except for this girl I met on the plane, and uh I'm trying out for the volleyball team, how about you?" I ask

"That's cool, well uh I sing, that's basically it, I have 3 brothers and 1 sister, yeah that's pretty much it"

"Cool, I have 1, two year old brother, he's pretty energetic" I laugh

"Yeah my sister is too" he says

I finish my lunch and put my bowl in the dish washer. Daniel finished too and does the same.

"Alright well I probably should get going, thanks for the food" he says before leaving.
