Skye POV

When we got out of our taxi. We were greeted by our landlord, he explained the rules and some more boring stuff. We sighed the papers, to say that we agreed with the rules. To our surprise he handed us 3 keys,

"Why did you give us 3 keys "Hope questioned.
"Seriously, well one for you, one for me and I'm guessing this one is a spare"
"Correct" The landlord said.

Hope POV

After that boring man left I couldn't contain my excitement I wanted to go inside now. I look to see where Skye is, she is sitting by the curb on the phone. She is probably calling her mum to tell her that she is safe. I should do that now, but I' m to excited

While she is distracted, I' m just going to go on in and get dibs on the biggest room. I opened the door and was speechless.The whole down stairs was about the same size as are apartment back home. I head on up stairs and found the jackpot. The master bedroom with an en suite. Is Skye still outside, how can I find a way to tell her that I want this room without interrupting her. I grab a piece of paper from my bag, don't ask me why I have paper in my bag I'm just weird like that .I write on the piece of paper
"Dibs, this room is mine. Also you aren't allowed to rip this in half just because you are older xx"
Yes Skye is older than me but only by 1 month. Now that my plan is in action I should be helpful and go down stairs and unpack.

Skye POV

"Love you too, speak soon bye"
That was my mum she told me that she missed me already. Aww. Wait where is Hope, I cant of lost her already that would be a record. I bet she is inside because her excitement got the better of her, or I hope she is inside. I open the door and find her unboxing, for the 2nd time on this trip I' m speechless.
"Am I seeing things, is Hope Owen actually doing work"
"Shut up, now if your done admiring me will you come and help" She said sarcastically.

We unpacked the boxes and put all the pictures in the frames. I put the picture frames up while Hope sat and watched T.V. See that's why I was surprised seeing her unpack stuff because this is the Hope I know and love. After I put the final picture frame up, I wanted to go upstairs and unpack my suitcase. Hope gives me a weird grin and follows me upstairs. I approach what must be the master bedroom because it has a sigh outside it saying 'Dibs'. I lifted the note and ripped it in half.
"Can you even read English it said you aren't allowed to rip it up" She said trying to look angry but she just looked cute.
" You cant tell me what to do, I'm older than you, Hope have you ever heard the phrase respect your elders" I said laughing.
"Arghhhh" She groaned
She stormed into the room facing me. I felt really bad, but I can live with it.
"Hope 0, Skye 1" I yelled
"Piss off "
"Love you too" I said smiling
I love teasing her. She also loves to annoy me, the one thing she does that really annoys me is she goes behind me and breathes on my neck, which sends shivers down my spine. They are the things that make us best friends though.

2 HOURS LATER
----------------------

Im sitting on my phone with Hope asleep on my legs, all that unpacking and shouting at me must have tired her out. As usual instead of using a real pillow she uses my legs as a pillow. Typical. I am just scrolling through Facebook when there is a knock on the door. Who could that be.

I slide Hope's head of my leg and place it on a pillow. I open the door with hesitation, I poke my head around the door and find 2 handsome men standing on my step. One of them had big lips and the other one was quite small.
"How may I help you"
"We are your new neighbours, we wanted to come over and meet you, also welcome you to the neighbourhood" The boy with the big lips said.
"Well that's sweet, come in and take a seat"
"Thank you" The small one said smiling.
I walked over to Hope and shook her.
"What do you want, you spanner" She said in her thick Northern Irish accent.
"Meet our next door neighbours" I said embarrassed for her.
"Sorry I get cranky, when someone wakes me up from a deep sleep, anyway would you guys like some tea" She offered red faced.
"No thank you but thanks for the offer" They both said.
She went of to make herself a coffee to wake her up.

"Hi, nice to meet you I'm Skye"
"Nice to meet you Skye, I'm Kim Jongin but you can call me Kai" The man with the big lips said.
"Nice to meet you my name is Kyungsoo, but you can call me D.O" They small one said.
"Nice to meet you Kai and D.O, that crazy girl in the kitchen is called Hope"
Then from the kitchen came a quiet "Hi"
We all laughed at this random quiet voice then everything went silent.
"Is it just you 2 next door " I asked curiously.
"No, in fact there are 12 of us next door" D.O replied.
"Are they all as nice as you two?" I asked.
"A couple of them are nice, some of them are quite hot headed" Kai laughed.
Hope came in with her coffee and asked all the same questions that I did. Me, Kai and D.O didn't say anything to her we just let her continue.

10 MINITES LATER
--------------------------

"Would you both like to come over to our place tonight so that you can meet the rest of the guys?" Kai requests.
"We would love too" Hope says excitedly.
"What time at" I added.
"About 7:30 and just come in your casual clothes" D.O says.
Him and D.O get up to go to the door, I get up to see them out because Hope went upstairs to go to the toilet. D.O opens the door first and waves good bye to me, Kai follows close behind but instead of waving at me he kissed me on the cheek.
"See you then" Kai smirked.
