the car lizzie's father is driving finally stopped. which means they had reached their destination.

"we're here lizzie" her father said. she nodded in return she doesn't really know what to expect. she do know what they look like, their names and her father also told her how they are. base on what he said they are nice.

what if they are only nice infront of him?

what if they are actually bad people?

what if-

her thoughts were stopped when her father held her hand. "look i know you are nervous to meet them, but you shouldn't be they are one of the nicest people that i've ever met,"

they got out of the vehicle while 'ted' her father was unloading the trunk of their car putting out the bags and boxes he instructed her to ring the doorbell. she was very hesitant but she had no choice

this is her life now

she did what she was told and rang the doorbell. she can hear someone running towards the door. "they are here!" she heard behind the door. it sounded like a boy. a teenage boy.

the door flung open and revealed a woman and a boy who she recognized from the photos her father had shown her. "hi im liz-" "lizzie, you are way prettier than the photos your dad had shown me." sarah said cutting her off and went to hug her. "this is my son by the way, his name is nick if your father hadn't told you yet." she said pointing at the boy behind her. she nodded and gave them a small smile. "urm- my dad's over there, i think he needs help with the boxes and bags," she said trying her hardest not to make it awkward.

once the boxes are in the house the older woman made everyone tea to drink the father kissed her cheek as a thank you not just for the tea but for also welcoming him and his daughter.

lizzie's eyes travelled the house through her eyes and remaining seated which the son called nick noticed. "do you want me to tour you?" he offered. "no, you don't have to." she said embarrassed while shaking her head. "no he definitely should he could show you your room, then we'll talk about the school matter," said sarah while giving her a light genuine smile. she just nodded not wanting to disobey her.

"that door over there is their room," he said pointing at the biggest door. "that one is mine and across is yours," she pointed the two doors across from one another. he walked towards her room door while she followed

the room is smaller than the room she had back home but it's ok, its good enough that she gets her own room. her are already on the floor of her room, there was also a bed already fixed just for her.

"this used to be our storage room so that we could have easier access to our stuff it's all in the attic now. i used to be scared of this room i swear i hear something here every night when i was like around eight its a good thing you're moving here it gets kinda boring here sometimes, but atleast i have my dog nellie she very amazing," he talks a lot

why us he telling me all these stuff ?

he met we few hours ago.

she finds him amusing.
how he talks a lot and how he's always smiling at her even tho she hasn't said a word the whole tour.

she looked at him to see him already looking at her still with his smile, she raised her eyebrow due to curiosity.

why?

"it all just feels like a dream come true,when i was younger i always used to ask her if she could give me a baby sister she gave me nellie, it's not that im complaining about her it's just that now i finally have a baby sister." he said excitedly. her being quiet didn't become unnoticed to him

maybe she'd rather listen than talk

or its just that i talk to much and im not giving her a chance to do so

or its because they just met and she's still shy or nervous?

"look, i know you are still shy and nervous but you dont have to be. im here i'll try to be the best big brother ok" she just nodded, not really knowing what to say back. suddenly he opened his arms requesting for a hug and she just nodded. again.

they went down shortly after the small hug they talked about her new school and how it's going to be so much fun.

maybe moving into a new place isn't that bad
