2:44 PM IN LEILANI'S HOUSE
"hey mamas" leilani says, as she slid her bag by the counter and opens the fridge.
"oh hey, lei. how was school—and what did i tell you about your book bag?" leilani's mother, willow chuckles, while picking up her book bag and placing it by the stairs.
"sorry ma, school was okay. i met the new boy, he's cool, very sweet too." she says, pulling out the kitchen island chair and sitting on it.
"oh really?" leilani nods. "was he atleast cute?"
"ma."
"sorry, just asking. anyways, we have some new neighbors in town and they're right around the corner. why don't you go give this to them?"
"what is it?"
"it's just a few pastries, it's house number 236, you couldn't miss it." Mrs. Devlin hands leilani the tupperware of pastries, as leilani shoves the last muffin in her mouth.
"bye ma!" leilani says, quite muffled. "bye lei." her mother smiled.
2:56 PM AT THE HART'S HOUSE
leilani skipped up the stairs guiding her to the front door of the hart's house. she wasn't new to this as her mother was a very welcoming lady as she was a kind-hearted lady. the pastries had smelled so good leilani snuck one, not feeling guilty at all leilani shoved it in her mouth. she closed the tupperware and rang the doorbell.
leilani rocked back and forth on her feet before a white man with frizzy curly hair opened the door.
"who are you?" the man looked skeptical at the girl, as she wore black crocs and light blue hoodie(which is what she had worn to school).
"i'm Leilani Devlin, the house around the corner from yours. number 233. my mother asked me to welcome you, and she made you guys pastries as a gift." leilani gave the skeptical man her best smile, as the man stared at her before his wife (what leilani assumed she was) showed up behind him.
"oh honey, don't scare the poor girl. this is Willow Devlin's daughter. here honey, come inside." The lady grabbed leilani's back, pulling her into the house. As the lady lead her to the couch, they both sat down.
"let me call my son down, he's probably upstairs on his video game set and what not." The asian lady called up the stairs for her son, as leilani zoned out, taking in the nice smelling house and the cute decoration that adorned it.
in the corner of her eye, she could see a male that looks just her age if not a few months older coming to her. leilani snaps out of her thoughts, and looks at him.
"oh you're the girl i met earlier, leilani, was it?"
"yeah. we were in math class together, right?"
"yeah."
"awe, seems like you two already know each other. well, i think you two should get some sunlight before it turns night, so get outta here." the lady laughs, as she pushes the two teens out.
