"shit" i shoot up realizing i have 10 minutes before my best friend ella and her older brother, mike pick me up for the mall. i start picking up random clothes from my floor trying to piece an outfit together, changing, and then starting on my makeup. before i even realize i am mumbling to myself a laugh is heard from behind me. i turn my head, still applying blush only to see my older brother quinn standing there.

"what do you want, chuckles" i laugh with an eye roll sent straight his way. he is about to walk in, but seeing my stern look, backs up and knocks, waiting for an okay to come in. i give him a nod and he makes his way to lay on my bed while i turn my attention back to my mirror, moving onto highlighter, then chapstick before quinn finally speaks up.

"you seen the new neighbours yet?" he asks with a smirk. shaking my head no, i head to my wall to pick a pair of sunglasses off one of the hooks. "well i saw one of the kids with the parents. looks your age" he says smirking even more "and your type" now he's got my attention. i raise my eyebrows while walking back to my full length mirror, placing my sunglasses on top of my head.

"oh yeah? and what is that?" i start questioning him, quinn has never really been one to know what i like. his pointer finger finds its way to his chin, tapping it over and over while he pretends to think.

"mmm about 6'2, light brown flow, musculer, light eyes, wearing a white wife beater..." hes cut off by a gasp, small and quiet, but enough for him to start laughing again.  "see and i didn't even mention that he looks like a loser and you are already drooling over him" one of the two shoe options i was choosing between is thrown at his head with that remark. i know i don't always go for the best guys but no need to remind me.

"ha. ha. so funny quinton, and how is your girlfriend?" his face goes from smiling to a hard glare. he opens his mouth to take another shot at me when he is interrupted by three short honks from mike. my eyes go wide before i grab the closest purse to me, throwing my wallet, charger, chapstick and other random unneeded junk into it. a quick wave and bye to quinn is givin and before i can even get a response i'm halfway down the stairs and walking out the door.

"hey sorry you had to wait, thanks for driving me" i quickly say before we are already pulling out and an annoyed mhm is heard from mike. ella gives me a look before mouthing 'hey kris, sorry he's in a bad mood' followed by me mouthing back 'when is he not' while putting my seatbelt on. the drive goes by fast while ella and i gossip, her playlist playing quietly in the background, us humming melodies every once in a while, while the other is speaking.

"pick you up in an hour. i don't want to wait and i got shit to do." mike grumbles, driving away.

"i fight the urge to punch him every time i'm within 10 feet. i'll ask quinn to drive next time if it's such a trouble waiting an extra 17 seconds for me to walk down my stairs." i huff before ella starts her 'try living with him for 16 years of your life' rant. we talk about our schedules for the upcoming school year, anymore gossip we didn't cover or couldn't talk about in the car, and finally boys when the convo comes up to my new neighbours.

"bro i swear if this man isn't hot and quinn is lying to me i'm gonna be so pissed. i'm literally already being delusional and thinking about us dating and shit" a blush appears on my face before ella speaks up.

"does jack know him? you know how he is with guys especially after the yelling and cheating logan did that you kept a secret from him..." she still looks excited for this new love interest in my life, but i can tell she's concerned about me getting hurt again.

"i don't even know kids name how am i supposed to know if jack knows him" i laugh, "and don't bring up that thing when i'm in a good mood." a random wave of sadness takes over me for a split second, thinking back on what i went through for 5 months last school year. "literally all i know about him is that he is exactly my type. he could be like 25 and i wouldn't have a clue. honestly i thought that three little kids were moving in with their parents. lowkey was hoping i could get a job with them babysitting but i guess not. i did hear they have a dog though so that's exciting." i smile. we start walking back to where mike dropped us off, not wanting to hear another lecture about how he's 'so busy' and 'i don't have to do this you know'.

"bye kris love ya" ella says as i'm opening my door.

"bye el, love ya too" the last part is cut off when my door closes. walking into the house i hear jack yelling at our xbox while playing one of his games, and quinn and luke downstairs playing a game of mini sticks. i head straight upstairs already beginning to stress out from what i just walked into. putting my purse down on my bed, i am already reaching for some leggings, a crew neck, and my airpods about to go on one of my 'leave me alone' walks. sunglasses still perched on my head, i walk down the stairs and out the front door, ready to head to the neighborhood park, slowing down almost completely when on the driveway to text the family gc that i'm back from the mall and out on a walk not to worry about me. almost immediately after hitting send, i'm about to take my airpods out of their case and shuffle my 'walking vibe' playlist but i'm interupted by a couple loud barks. my head turns to my left where i see a dog attached to its leash and a ring covered hand holding it. i look up from the dog to the owner and see it's none other then the neighbor quinn described to me, and he was not wrong, this guy is EXACTLY my type. i give a small smile before he speaks up.
