Chapter One: No solicitors

It was an average day for me here in Albany, Ohio. I live in a small town. Our population is 878 people. No joke. Well anyways I was streaming Triple Dog on Netflix on my laptop when my 8 year old brothers came in my room and attacked me with Nerf guns.

"Why you little-" I didn't finish because I almost swore in front on them. I then took my Nerf Rhino Fire gun and ran after them.

"Feel my wrath peasants!" I yelled while charging down the stairs as they screamed playfully. I would tell you this is a once in a life time thing, but that would be lying.

This is me. I'm River Emerson. I have a single mom, younger twin brothers, red hair, brown eyes, and I live in a small house.

After my little Nerf war with Eric and Josh I head into the kitchen. I go into the pantry until I find what I've been looking for.

"Aha!" I said taking a bag of Doritos. I was about to take one but my mother slapped my hand away.

"You'll ruin your appetite." My mother scolded. She looked like me. She had red hair, blue eyes, and pale skin with some freckles. I get my eyes from my dad.

I noticed she was baking cookies. She only bakes when there's a party, someone died, or for fun. Probably the second one. "Who died?" I said as I put the chips away.

"No one. We have neighbors."

"I know we do. They've been here longer than you." I muttered the last part.

"Well, we have new neighbors moving into the old McChestler house." I then glance out the kitchen and sure enough there's a family moving in.

I see a tall blonde women with brown eyes carrying boxes that say Dolls I then see one little girl with bouncy blonde curls carrying a doll behind her mother. That explains it.

Then there is a boy with sandy hair, blue eyes, and a God-like body carrying a box that said Alex's Stuff he was wearing a white surfer tank, with cargo shorts. Man he was hot. Snap out of it river!

"And you're baking food for them?" I say as I get a ginger ale out of the fridge.

"Yes, and you're bringing it over so get dressed." I just groan. There's reason to start a fight, because my mom always wins.

I head upstairs to my room. To be honest, it's a mess. I never clean it. I open my curtains only to see that new neighbor boy got the room across from me. Great, now I have to always keep them closed.

I put on a punk Alice In Wonderland shirt, jean shorts, My Chemical Romance bracelets, Nirvana earrings, skull ring, black converse, and my lucky backwards hat.

I trot down the stairs grab the cookie plate and walk out the front door.

I head over to their house and ring the doorbell. The blond lady from earlier opens the door. I'm assuming she the mom.

"Why hello there. I'm Anne. What can I do for you?" She says as she studies my outfit.

"Uh, we live next door and my mom wanted me to bring some cookies over to welcome you guys." I said handing get the plate with a small smile.

"Oh, how nice! How about you guys come over for dinner!" She says cheerily.

"Ok, I'll tell my mom." I start to head away but she says something.

"How about you stay here. I mean it's-" she looks at her watch "5:45 and dinner will be done at 6. Just text her."

"Ok." I said worryingly as she guests red for me to go inside. Their house looked just like ours but opposite layout.

She motioned for me to follow her so I did. She stopped at the bottom of the stairs. "Alex! Tessa! Molly! Jake! Get down here!" She yelled. She then gave me a smile which I returned.

Then four kids came down the stairs. One, who I assume is Alex, is the person I saw earlier. He looks about my age.

"We're having guests over for dinner and this is one of the neighbors kids. Isn't that right?" She says to me. I just nod. "Ok, that's Tessa-" she pointed to the little girl I saw earlier. "That's Molly-" she had blonde hair too, but looked around 15. "That's Jake-" she pointed to a muscular boy that looked around 15. Twins. "And Alex." She said pointing at the one I saw earlier.

I just nodded. "Well I better te-" I was cut off by Anne.

"How about you go hang out with Alex! How old are you again? And your name?" She asked. Man she's nosy.

"17 and the names River." I said. Alex just snorted.

"Well go on upstairs and be teenagers." She says shoving us all upstairs. I follow Alex into his room which, is unpacked.

"Well, I'm gonna go." I say after a minute of silence.

"How? My mo-" he was cut off to see that I had taken off his window screen. "Dude! What the hell!"

"I'm leaving." I said as climb through the window into my own. He just mutters 'show off'

-

I decided on never telling my mom about the dinner. But after we had dinner I went into my room. I saw that Alex had some people over.

I tried going to sleep but it was impossible with his music and laughter blasting.

I finally fell asleep. About ten minutes later I woke up again only to see someone roaming my underwear drawer. I quietly get out of my bed, grab my bat and hit them on the head.

I repeatedly hit them on the stomach. Until they groan, in which I stop.

"Who the hell are you!? And why are you here?!" I shout at them.

"Alex, dare." He groans as he gets up. I then notice he has one of my underwear. I start to lunge after him but he's to fast. He managed to escape to his room.

He smirks Emily as he and those people in that room high five. That's when I realize who's in there.

There are four people in total in Alex's room. One is Finn Mathews he's the varsity football captain. Then there's Spencer Sninx, he the schools bad boy. Then I see Jeremy Serenity, he's the schools playboy and rich kid.

I start to get angry so I climb through my window onto my roof with my bat. Then that's when their faces start to pale. I smirk evilly as Im about to open the window.

I then slip. I'm now hanging off the roof by my hands. I start pounding and kicking. The four guys rush out of the window to help.

I then loose grip on one hand. I then see that Jeremy is holding his hand out. I then take his hand as he pulls me inside Alex's room.

"That's what you get for stealing my clothes." I said heavily breathing. I then notice them staring at me. I then look down at myself. I'm wearing black spankies and a sports bra that says Dance. "Well see you guys in school."

I then get inside my room safely and lock my window and drift off to sleep.

-

I wake up at 5:30 and put on my gym shoes. I then head out the door and start running a mile.

After my mile I shower and change. I put on a black crop top, ouija board themed skirt, black flats, my skull ring- I got a tattoo on my middle finger and I hide it-, fingerless gloves, and my lucky hat.

I then wait outside for Jason and Emma. Once they arrive I step in. "Can it ever stop being hot." Emma complains.

"I'm sorry, am I too hot?" Jason says in which he gets a kiss on the cheek from Emma. They're a couple, in my opinion, the cutest.

"So how was your weekend Rivs?" Emma asks as she turns around.

Oh you know, boys stealing my underwear, and almost dying. You know, the usual. "Netflix and food." I say.
