"Is this it?" I asked mum.
mum takes a deep breath,"Yea, this is it".
We have moved over to Goodwood from living with my pop. I was staying in the lounge room and had to sleep with my brother in a single bed on the floor.

I open our car door and i see a small white, one story house with dead flowers everywere, a small front yard, a driveway, a sament small back yard and a fairly big shed over the gate that im not allowed in. we didn't buy the house, were renting it. I grab my bags out of the back of the car and walk up to the tall red door with glass windows in it. I drop my bags and run to mum and grab the keys to the house.

I walk upstairs and pick out my room, my brother Tasman gets the other room. I pick the 1st one on the left (the bigger one) and Tasman got the 1st one on the right and mum and johno (my step dad) get the master bedroom at the end of the hallway.

I start to organise my room, from my door view, I put my bed in the  top left corner, my wardrobe behind the door and the t.v and cabinet in the top right corner. After that I am buggered. So I go to sleep watching Family Guy.

The next day I get up at 5 am and go to have a shower. After the shower, I chuck on a random black top, my small pink shorts, what can I say they are my favourite. I brush my long brown hair, put it in a high ponytail and go and get my scooter.

As I'm going for a ride around the block for sight seeing, I go past this house with four kids sitting at their gate on their bikes and scooters. A 4 year old, two 10 year olds and a 12 year old. I go past not making eye contact and go a bit faster.
'Keep going loser' I hear one of them say. I'm not sure which one it was but I sure as hell wasn't going to ask which one did, they looked so bogan and rebel as hell.

'Well Im not going again for a while now' I think to myself as I got home.
"How did it go?' Mum asked as she walked in my bedroom door.
"Huh?"
"The scooter ride? You know, sight seeing?"
"Oh right, yea it was ok I sopose"
"What? What's wrong?" She asked.
"Nothing it was fine!" I replayed trying to assure mum. I wasn't going to tell her about the kids, or she might of gone and talked to them or over reacted for me and treated me like a baby. I hated when she did that so I never tell her things like that anymore.

It's been an hour now so I thought I might as well go for another ride around the block. I'm going past their house and no one was out their (thank god). As I was almost fully past their house I hear a "Hey you!" I stopped and slowly turned around. It was the 10 years old girl, I calmly walk over to her. "Yes?"
"I'm sorry for my brother before, he can be a real jerk sometimes!" She said kind of quietly.
"That's ok" I quickly replied.
"Hi, I'm Jakyla" she says putting out her hand.
"Hey, I'm Hannah" I said shaking her hand with a smile on my face.
"Do you want to hang out in my yard for a little bit?"
"Sure, I'll just go and tell mum and I'll be back."
"Ok."
I scooted up home kind of in a hurry to get back so she wasn't waiting for to long. When I got back we sat down and asked questions and played truth or dare. Until her mum pulled up in the drive way, Jakyla ran up to the car so I sat here quietly. Jakyla signalled me over and introduced me to her mum. "Hi, I'm Hannah." I put my hand out for a handshake.
"Hi Hannah, I'm Jodie, I'm Jakylas mum." She said shaking my hand.
"And Hannah, this is Tyson!" Jakyla said as Tyson came out of the car.
