I have lived in Woodcrest my entire life. So has my best friend, Cindy McPhearson. When we were hanging out one day, talking about my senior year and her junior year of high school, a moving van pulled up across the street. Out came two boys, a quiet, laidback older brother, named Huey and a hot-headed younger brother named Riley. "Nice to meet you," I said. They introduced themselves and shook hands.
"You guys new in town, yeah?" Cindy asked, eyeing Riley. Huey looked us up and down before saying, "We just moved here from Chicago. This white-ass neighborhood can't be that bad if two people like you are here. I'm Huey Freeman and this is my brother-" Riley shoved him aside to fix his clothes and give a flirty smile to Cindy. He took her hand and stared into her eyes before saying, "I'm Riley Your-Next-Man Freeman. And you, baby, are fine as fuck." Cindy blushed a bit but pushed him away, she flipped her hair. "Boy, please. You think I don't know that? But, let's see your application." She smiled and grabbed his hand, pulling him away to wherever for alone time and to get to know each other, leaving me and Huey awkwardly standing in front of each other. I could already tell that Cindy and Riley would be a while, they were like a perfect match from that first interaction.
"So... tell me about yourself," I said, trying to escape the awkwardness and silence between us. He leaned against the moving truck and crossed his arms. "Well, me and Riley are from Chicago, as I said before. This wasn't our choice, but our grandfather's. I find white supremacy fucked up, along with most of the world. That's all you get though." He walked away after, moving boxes into the house. Huey was a man of little words, maybe he'd warm up.. From the driver's side of the truck emerged an old man about 60-80 years old. 'This must be their grandfather.' I thought as I walked over to introduce myself, not really realizing my outfit until part of my pants got caught on the moving ramp.

Sure, it was cute but not really as much effort as I normally would have. I got my pants unstuck and assisted the old man getting out of the truck and held my hand out. "Hi there! I'm Y/N your neighbor from across the street. It nice to meet you, your grandchildren seem nice." I said in a polite tone. He chuckled and shook my hand, "It's nice to meet you, Y/N. I'm always here for a chat in case you get lonely." He said, like the sweet old grandpa his was. "Thank you!" I said before letting go and walking away.

After a couple of hours, Cindy was still hanging out with Riley, so I was in my room, watching Shameless and eating popcorn. My LEDs were set to dark blue as it set the mood for the episode. I gasped, during Karen's childbirth. "Ain't no fucking way. Me personally, I'd hit that hoe." I ate another handful of popcorn and watched, suddenly my phone went off with Cindy's contact on screen. I accepted the facetime. "Heyyyy." I greeted her. "Girl, come across the street. We finna watch moves and play on the boys' PlayStation." I rolled my eyes, as much as I wanted to say know I know she just wanted to go on a two-mans. So, I sighed and turned off my tv. "I'm on the way now." I said, exhausted. "Thank you, girl. I luh you. "I smiled and hung up, grabbing my purse and walking out the door and across the street.
