The Girl Next Door || Olivia Rodrigo

new neighbors

Olivia's pov (November 5th, 2017)

I sat in my bedroom on the floor with my friends Conan, Iris, and Jenna. We were studying for the test that we had in History class tomorrow.

"Do you guys think I would survive World War II if I was fighting in it?" Conan asked us.

I chuckled. "No."

"Yeah, no offense Conan but you're kinda weak." Jenna agreed with me.

Conan slightly dropped his jaw, looking offended. "That's not true."

"Why'd you ask us if you didn't want the real answer?" Iris asked him.

"Because I thought you were gonna say I would survive." Conan replied.

I playfully rolled my eyes at him. "Anyways. Don't forget we have cheer practice after school tomorrow from 3 to 5."

"We won't." Jenna said.

I turned my head over to the window when I heard a car door shut. I set down my history book and stood up from the floor, going to look out the window.

"Who is it?" Jenna asked.

I noticed a car in the driveway next door and then a moving truck pull up in front of the house. I watched a man and a woman get out of the car followed by a boy who looked around 12 and then a girl who looked my age.

Due to the angle my window was, I couldn't see any of their faces.

"Just new neighbors." I replied before going to sit back down on the floor.

The next morning, I woke up when my alarm started to go off. I threw off my blankets and went into my closet, pulling out jeans, a crop top, and a jacket.

I quickly got dressed before doing my hair, letting it rest against my shoulders. I put on some light make up and my converse sneakers before grabbing my backpack and heading downstairs.

I set my bag by the front door and went into the kitchen, seeing my parents sitting at the kitchen table and drinking coffee. 

"Morning." I greeted them.

"Good morning." They both replied

I made myself a bowl of cereal before sitting with them and eating. "Hey, I think the new neighbors moved in next door."

"Really?" Mom asked and I nodded. "We should bring something to them later and welcome them to the neighborhood."

"I saw them get here yesterday. It looked like a mom, a dad, a boy, and a girl." I informed them.

When my mom dropped me off at school, I met up with my friends outside of the building. We sat together on a bench outside while we waited for the bell to ring.

"This history test is gonna kick my ass." Iris told us as she laid on the grass and stared at the sky. 

"For real. I can't stand Mrs Schwartz. She's literally the worst teacher ever." I said, glancing over at Conan to see him staring at something. "What are you staring at?"

Conan looked at me before pointing at someone. I looked over to where he was pointing, seeing a girl walking in our direction.

She had on a green short sleeved shirt with a black leather jacket and jeans. She ran her fingers through her long black hair, letting it fall against her shoulders. Everyone she walked passed stared at her as she walked into the school building.

"Okay, I like guys but that girl is the definition of sexy." Iris told us.

I furrowed my eyebrows. "Really?"

"Yeah, she was hot." Conan said.

I shrugged before crossing my arms. "I don't see the appeal."
