Being The New Girl (On Hold)

Chapter 4

Unfortunately, mum left some stuffs in her room and she told me to go our neighbor's house first.

Luckily, it wasn't that hard to spot the house cause they placed a banner over their door that said, 'Welcome Neighbors!'. Suddenly, I felt nervous. What if they don't like me? What if they think I'm ugly? No, Grace. Don't be negative! You haven't even met them and you're already having second thoughts. The second voice in my head said.

I took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. Almost immediately, the door opened and a little girl appeared.

"Hello! You must be the new neighbor! Come in!" the girl said to me and pulled me in. She's so cute!

"Mum! The neighbors are here!"

"I'm coming honey!" a woman wearing a dark blue dress came down.

"Hello, Grace. My name is Mrs Brewer but you can call me Kristine. Where's your mother?" Mrs Brewer spoke with a big smile.

"Er, she'll be here soon." I replied, showing a shy smile.

She led me to the living room with the adorable little girl. We then had a chit-chat.

"Hi, my name is Nurin. And you are?" the little girl asked.

"Grace."

"I like your name. I think it suits you." Nurin said, grinning.

"Thanks! So, how old are you?"

"I'm turning 5 this year in," she said and paused, counting her fingers, "3 months!" She's so cute! She had her blonde hair tied into two ponytails and used a peach puffy ballerina dress. She also used a beaded necklace and a pair of pink flats.

We continued our conversation until a boy came down the stairs shouting, "Nurin! If you hid my cologne again, give it back! Cause you do not want to know what I'll do to you! Nurin, come out no-" he suddenly paused when he saw me. He had trimmed brown hair that suits him very well. He looks so cute-wait, what am I saying! I hardly know this guy.

"Nurin, who's this?"

"Oh, her name's Grace. Don't you think it suits a pretty girl like her?" I blushed when she said I was pretty.

"Well, you must be special. Nurin hardly calls anyone pretty." the guy said, smirking at me.

"Thanks, I'm Grace. As you just heard." I said, blushing a bit.

"I'm Adr-" he was cut off by Mrs Brewer asking him to help her.

"Er, I'll see you later." he said before dashing off.

"Tats my brother. And don't tell him that I hid his cologne under the sofa." she whispered the last part to me. For a 5-year old, she's really smart.

Soon, it was dinner and I saw mum talking to Mrs Brewer at the dining table. Then, Mr Brewer came down. He had dirty blonde hair and chocolate brown eyes. Unlike Mrs Brewer who had brown wavy hair and icy blue eyes.

We then sat down for dinner. Mum sat down beside me while Nurin sat the opposite of her dad. She was kinda sitting next to me. Nurin's brother was sitting the opposite of me and their mum was sitting beside him. (A/N: Don't get it? Too bad.)

It wasn't really an awkward dinner, besides the fact that I caught Nurin's brother staring at me. Mr and Mrs Brewer talked with my mum a lot while I enjoyed my food. Then, Mrs Brewer asked, "So, what school are you from, Grace?"

"Er, California Girls High." I thought I saw Nurin's brother flinched.

"Oh, my son here goes to California Boys High" Oh, no wonder. With that, she went back to her previous conversation.

The boy then decided to talk to me.

"Oh yeah, I'm Adrian." Adrian? Wait, is he the guy everyone is talking about?

"Er, do you happen to know any Jerry?" I said, scratching the back of my neck. I do that when I'm nervous.

"Oh yeah, he's my best friend! Do you know him?"

"Kinda? And do you know any dojo called Terror Tigers?" I asked hopefully.

"Oh yeah, I go there!" I stared at him in shocked when he said that. Wait, so he's the Adrian everyone I talking about? Well, he is cute and sweet... Why am I saying that?!

"Er, Grace?" he waved his hand to me.

"Hm?"

"I thought something happened to you. You kinda dozed off."

"Oh yeah..."

We were then interrupted by my mum saying to me that she needed to leave but I could stay for a while more to collect some stuff. I just nodded my head.

"So, Grace, your mum told me that you just joined a dojo recently. What dojo did you join?" Mrs Brewer asked me.

"Oh yeah. Terror Tigers." I said, smiling.

"Really?"

"Yupp."

"Hm... Er, Adrian, come here please!" Mrs Brewer shouted for her son.

"Yes, mum?" Adrian asked, he looked annoyed though. I giggled at him.

"Would you like to send Grace to Terror Tigers tomorrow." my eyes widen with what she just said.

"What?! But she might get hurt! What if she get hit? What if," he paused and smirked. "What if she broke a nail?"

Excuse me. He did not just say that. Oh, he just messed with the wrong girl.

"Excuse me, Adrian! I am not scared to break a nail! For your information, I know how to fight." I sassed at him.

"Yeah sure. A girly girl knows how to fight. I would love to see that." Boastful much? I turned and saw that Mrs Brewer was amused with our little argument and even giggled.

"Well okay. Pick me up at 2.45pm tomorrow, my house. We'll go to your little dojo." I said, with venom in every word I said.

"Alright Gracie. You got yourself a deal."

"Okay then. Er, Mrs Brewer, I have to go now."

"Alright honey." she said farewell to me and Adrian said, "Aww, does wittle Gracie needs to sleep? Oh yes she does, yes she does." he said in a baby voice and touching my nose

"Bye-bye Brewer!" I yelled, annoyed and walked out of the house.

"See you, Ashton!"

Oh Brewer. You do not know what you got yourself into.

As I took my last blink before going to sleep, a little plan formed in my head. Watch out Adrian.
