After dying of embarrassment i checked my phone to see the time was 7:23pm and that was a sign for me to go home before it got too late. I put my phone in my pocket, got up and walked back down the road to find the house.
As i was walking past Jaden's and Javon's house i saw that Javon was stood outside with some older girl and they were quite clearly filming some sort of TikTok or video. I wanted Javon to see that i was his neighbour without talking to him. So i just walked past and 'dropped' my air pod case, i didn't get to see if he noticed i'd see later if he mentioned it when he supposedly was to message me. I got up and walked up my driveway when all of a sudden i heard a voice shout me, however not Javon's voice.

"Hey you!" the unknown voice shouted.

i turned around and it was the girl who was stood next to Javon filiming a video.

She walked over to the fence and so did i,

"You our new neighbour i'm guessing?"
the girl said to me looking me up and down.

"uh..yeah i am." i said.

She smiled at me,
"my names Jayla, your pretty, should come over sometime you look like fun!" she replied.

I smiled at her and nodded,

"My names Stella..but yeah sure i guess." Jayla seemed nice, I assumed she was into the spiritual side of things becuase she had crystal jewellery all over her arms and neck, i wanted to make a good impression so i asked her,
"what's your star sign?" her smile immediately widened and she flipped her hair over her shoulder,

"good question! I'm a Virgo, how about you?" she said to me.

I had to think to try and remember and then realised i was born during the start of May so i was a Taurus.

"i'm a Taurus." i knew a few things about star signs just not a lot.

"We're an amazing combination then," she said smirking.

I saw Javon behind her and i think she noticed,

"oh him..he's Javon my little brother," she shouted Javon and he came jogging forwards.

"Javon this is...Stella! She's super nice and she's a taurus too."
He smiled as he stared me down.

"i know who she is." he muttered.

She raised her eyebrow and i spoke up,
"We met like 10 minutes ago." i laughed a little and then so did she, it was awkward now because there wasn't anything to say but luckily my mom shouted my name and told me to come inside for dinner.

"oh i'm sorry, i'll speak soon?" i said walking with my back still turned to her.

"yeah that's okay, my insta is jayla walton official so message me and i'll look out for you!" she replied.

I nodded my head and waved bye to them both.

I headed inside and looked around, the house looked like it was done now, everything was where it was supposed to be and it looked liveable.
I was exploring the house and realised that i needed to go check out my room,
i ran up the stairs and opened my bedroom door which no longer had my sticky note on.
My jaw instantly dropped, i don't know how my mom could afford something like this but her new job must pay VERY well because my room looked like it belonged to a princess, there was a big grey double bed with a lot of cushions and it had a matching bed end table, there was so many nice things but i loved the little chandelier i now had, i also noticed i had a bathroom as well so i didn't have to leave my room so much.

I jumped on my bed and lay on it for awhile until my mum came in,

I jumped on my bed and lay on it for awhile until my mum came in,

"i'm guessing you like it?" she said.

I nodded my head and walked past her to go down to the dining table.

She followed after me because when i sat down she sat down straight after me,
we were eating in silence the whole dinner, i think we were eating something she had ordered because it didn't taste like a home cooked meal.
After i ate i got up and went to my bedroom so i could go to the bathroom.
I washed my hands and my face, then i brushed my teeth and went to my bedroom.
My clothes were still in boxes which were in my closet. I opened the pyjama box and took some joggers and a tank top out.
I was sat on my bed looking at javon's instagram and i finally found Jaden's who i then followed, i also found jaylas instagram and followed her. I found out she was their older sister and they had a little brother called Daelo, their dad looked super scary but from his posts and comments he seemed like a nice guy. I put my phone down and walked onto my balcony and stared at the house which i now knew was the Walton's, I was staring at the window which faced mine and i couldn't see anything until...
I saw Jaden stood with his back turned against the window, he took off his t-shirt and then started to pretend to play baseball. He was swinging the bat forwards and backwards, he looked very good to be honest.
I was stood watching him play and all of a sudden, he dropped the bat and when he bent down to pick it back up he looked me in my eyes, he started laughing.

I was super embarrassed.
He slid open the door and walked into his balcony. We stared at eachother for a minute and i waved at him,

he shouted from across the window,
"stalker!"
i laughed to myself and shouted back at him,

"no just watching you practice your baseball actually."

He smirked,

"what's your number?" he said and i immediately blushed and felt another wave of confidence hit me.

"i followed your insta before, you know because i am such a stalker. So you can find my insta somewhere in your million followers if your that desperate to talk to me." i shouted to him and then waved as i walked back into my room and jumped on my bed.

This felt good, i felt like i was finally becoming someone new and it was all thanks to one family.
