you've just moved from sunny malibu, california, to the dull city of hawkins, indiana. your parents recently got into a divorce and decided it was best for both you and your younger brother, dustin to have a fresh new start in a simple town. plus, your mom did find a better job in indiana than in california.

although you were still very upset, you couldn't help but feel excited as you pulled into the driveway of your new house. the house was significantly larger than the one you shared with your family in california. it was at the end of the cul-de-sac, and surrounded by other houses. your hoped your neighbours wouldn't be too annoying.

"well," your mom said with a sigh as she parked the moving van. "we're here!"

you hopped out, grabbing your backpack and stretching your legs. you'd been cramped in the van with too other people for far too long. you followed your mom into the house, with dustin following suit.

he followed you upstairs, and luckily there were three bedrooms.

"i call this one!" dustin called out with a toothy grin. of course he got the second largest room.

"hey! that's not fair, let me choose i'm older than you!" you replied half joking/half serious.

"no can do, sorry sis!" he said, before stomping back downstairs to help unload the moving van. you quickly ran after him to help as well.

when you were carrying a box inside, you noticed the girl from the house next to you staring at you from her front porch. she gives you a small smile when she realizes you caught her staring before heading back into her house. weird. you shrugged it off as you continued to unload the moving van.

after you finished unpacking your room, you laid on your bed. thinking it was too hot, you decided to put up your curtains and open the window. you smiled as the breeze flew into your room.

looking out your window, you noticed your room window was parallel to the room of the girl you saw earlier. even thought she was far away, you could still get a good look of her. she was very pretty, with big brown eyes, and wavy brown hair that was tied up. she was slender and had on a pretty pink dress. the mystery girl had her eyes on a book, when she felt someone looking at her, and looked up to meet your eyes.

"starings a bit rude, don't you think?" the girl calls out to you, and you realize just how long you were staring at her. shit.

you feel your heart race, and your cheeks turn a bright shade of pink. "you were staring at me earlier!" you tell back at her.

you hear her chucked before she replies again. "i was just joking!" she says back with a grin. "what's your name, by the way?" 

"y/n. y/n henderson," you reply. "and yours is..?"

"i'm nancy. nancy wheeler. nice to meet you y/n!" she says, and you think you catch her winking at you.

y/n wheeler. nancy henderson. cute!

"nice to meet you too!" you suddenly yell back. you realize you were staring again.

"i'll be right back!" nancy shut her window and disappeared from her room. you wondered where she was going, when you heard your doorbell ring.

"coming!!" you yell with a laugh, before excitedly heading downstairs.
