Elvira Emmerson, it's a strange name, but mind you, it suits me. Wrapping my hair up into a messy bun on top of my head, I took note of what I was wearing – despite being in a long-term relationship I couldn't help but continue to try impress him. My hair, which down, sat just above my undies was in a brown, wet mess on top of my head like usual, mascara highlighting my long eyelashes and blue eyes, light blue sweater over a white collared shirt and black skinny jeans accentuated my long, thin yet sporty, 'lanky' limbs. I guess I looked like a corporate mess without shoes on. But I was only heading to the park before...


"Tyler? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!?" I was seriously pissed off


"Ellie? Sh*t, babe it's not what it looks like" Tyler said tearing away from Jessica


"Oh, good. Cause from here it looked like my boyfriend for two years is lip locking with my arch nemeses of 12 years, so I am so glad you weren't cheating right in front of me" I said sarcastically.


Tyler has... Had been my boyfriend for two years, he was the hottest guy in school and somehow he 'chose' me. Then there is Jessica, we have been enemy's since pre-school when she ripped my favourite barbies head off and flushed it down the loo, never to be seen again.


I walked away shocked to what I had just seen, leaving the park I headed home. The whole way holding back tears and the soft sob threatening to sound at the back of my throat.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I ran straight home and went upstairs to my room, I slammed the door and collapsed on my bed, had I really seen what I just saw? I turned on my music and blasted Bruno Mars, somehow listening to him sing for girls makes me either cry or feel wonderful.


A light buzz broke me from my Trans, my phone lit up in a message from my mum.


MUM: SWEETIE IS EVERYTHING OK? YOU DIDN'T SAY HI, THE NEW NEIGHBOURS ARE HERE. PLEASE COME DOWN AND SAY HELLO.


ME: EVERYTHING I JUST FINE! OK, I'LL BE DOWN IN A SEC


MUM: THANKS SWEETIE, I KNOW THINGS HAVE BEEN ROUGH WITH YOU LATELY.


My mum and dad split up a few months before Tyler and I started to go out and now dad is pressuring me to come and move in with him... but right now I am really considering it, but it would be over in New York.

I opened my door and walked into a boy who was coming out of the bathroom, it was terrible because I was always clashing with my mother when she came out of the bathroom and I left my bedroom.


"Oh, I am so sorry, it's my fault" he said as he leant down to pick up my phone, I didn't even realise I dropped it "It's about to die, better chuck it on charge".


"Oh um, don't worry about it, and thanks" I said, I sounded like a fool, what was I even doing.


I turned around and went back into my room, as I was closing the door I looked at him one last time and just when I looked, he peered over his shoulder and winked at me as he stuffed his hands into his pockets. The smoking hot guy had jet black hair and emerald green eyes, he also had tanned skin and boy did I want to get to know him. He wore light denim jeans and a black muscle shirt... Ooft!


I closed my door, leaning against it with a sigh "Now he is cute" I laugh to myself as I couldn't stop smiling. Walking over to my bed, I sat on the teal bed sheets and chucked my phone on charge. Looking at the iPhone screen, it flashed with 4% "Wow, it really was about to die" I say in shock.


Still on charge I pick up my phone, the light click sounded as I unlocked it and I went straight for my best friend Madi's contact, clicking it I sent her a text;


ME: HOLY MACKEROOIONIEOLIONS THERE WAS A HOT GUY WALKING OUT OF MY BATHROOM... AND HE WASN'T A HALUSINATION!!!!! DESCRIPTION; BLACK HAIR, GREEN EYES, TANNED SKIN, TALL, MUSCULAR, GREAT JAW = HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTY


TXT YOU LATER. MEETING THE NEW NEIGHBOURS... NEED TO FIND OUT WHO THE FUG THAT GUY IS!


XOXO LOVE YOU


ELLIE


I put my phone back on my bedside table and danced to my door and opened it, with a smile still plastered to my face, I skipped down the stairs and went to meet my new neighbours. I hope that guy is their son. I could totally watch him swim in that pool of theirs ALL day I thought to myself before planting my feet onto the ground.
