Lennie's POV

I watched the houses fly by as we drew closer. Every house looked the same.

I didn't want to leave. I didn't necessarily want to stay either. But, I'm still gonna miss my friends.

Another thing? How am I supposed to adjust to the weather here? I know it's summertime, but Michigan is obviously gonna be different than Tennessee.

I looked at my sister with her mouth wide open. She had been asleep for the past 2 hours.

Our car slowed as it became more residential areas. The area seemed to be decent, I hadn't been here yet. Our parents came here of course, but me and my sister were coming to a blind date with a house.

The car finally pulled into a driveway. I looked at the house silently trying to take it all in. It looked mostly like the pictures, the grass was a bit overgrown though.

I kicked Lacey to wake her up. Her head jumped up with a start. She looked around smacking her dry lips.

"Are we here?" She asked.

"No." I got out of the car and stretched my achy bones. I examined everything dreading having to move everything inside. I also knew there was going to be people stalking us sense we were the 'new people.'

A car door shut behind me causing me to look at it. A boy got out of a tiny car. He turned to look at me, suddenly making me feel like I was the stalker.

We made eye contact and he just waved at me. I waved back and he disappeared. The car he arrived in pulled away.

"Let's get some stuff unloaded, Len." My dad said, waving me over. I groaned and made my way towards him.

We moved stuff in for about an hour, and decided to give it a rest. I watched as my cat walked through the house, sniffing everything.

I grabbed a few boxes labeled 'lennies crap,' and found my room towards the front of the house.

I looked at the blank room knowing I need to get my bed set up, but that could be a tomorrow thing. But it's only 3...

Actually, it's a really good thing I set up my bed. Now I have a bed, and I can set everything up. This is going to be a while.





It was the next day, about midday. I sat on the couch staring at the wall, as there was no tv set up. My sister was in her room, I don't know about my mom, and dad went to go get things from the store.

The door bell rang through the quiet air making me jump. I didn't even know it worked.

I slowly got up and looked through the window. Some lady and a teenage boy.
I opened the door trying to act causal.

"Hi." I greeted, hoping my voice didn't sound funny.

"Hello! I'm from across the street, that little brown house." She pointed back to the house where I saw the boy get out of the car.

I looked back at the teenage boy, probably younger than me. Closer to Lacey's age. He kind of looked like a horse.

"Well, is your mom home? You look a little young to be..." She paused as my mom came into view behind me. "Hello, I'm Karen Kiszka..."


Josh's POV

I laid on the couch with Sammy and Danny, mindlessly watching the tv.
