My happy Place

The boy next door

Sophia pov:

I walked downstairs to where my mom was with her door open and I can tell someone was outside and it sounded like a lady, dang I was wrong it's not the mover guy, kinda bummer but it's okay.

Me: Yes mom, I said looking outside seeing a lady and a boy. And he seemed like a bad boy, just because of his outfit I am assuming but if that's his plan then that's just sad. It's 2024 for love of goodness; dress up properly and stop looking emo. All his leather outfit and being all black just gives " I am danger, and run when I get mad" like honey please if fire comes out of you best believe I am splashing your to water.

Mom: This is Elizabeth she is out neighbor and came to welcome us and this is her son, she looked at him and said James.

Me: Hello I said to both, nice to meet you my name is Sophia, the mom gave my mom a tray and looked like it was cookies.
It was a tray that was wrapped up with foils but badly, it seems she tried every way to make it look good it failed.

She indulged me with a hug and and smiled while both of her arms are on mine.

Elizabeth: You are so beautiful,and young

Me: I looked at this woman with fake smile and thinking in my head of course young I am only 20 years old
While thinking I saw her saw and all this time he kept staring at me like this was a staring competition, what a creep.

Me: Nice to meet you both; I said grabbing one cookie. Ouu this is good, I said.

Mom: Honey be careful some have chocolate chip

Elizabeth: Looked at me; do you not like chocolate chip

Me: No not really, they just give me weird feeling on my mouth

Elizabeth: Smiled while looking at her son see some people don't like chocolate chip

Her son wouldn't stop looking at me and scoffed after she said that. He said his goodbyes and walked away; jeez what's his problem.

Elizabeth: Excuse him please, ever since he dad left he had this rude attitude on him.

Mom: Oh I am sorry did your husband pass away

Elizabeth: No, no, he just got with one of his secretaries and left me and James only when he was 5 and ever since then he was like this, he became a new character.

I felt bad for him, I understand what it's like to not have a dad but I also don't understand because my dad never cheated on my mom

Me: I am sorry to be rude, but I have to continue cleaning before it's too late; I said walking away.
