"Just back it out here, there you go thank you so much"

I smiled cheerfully as the moving truck backed into the long, dark grey driveway a few inches away from the garage. As he handed me the key, I yelped in excitement running boxes inside. I looked around and thought to myself, new home, new school, new experience.

I started unpacking when I heard a knock on the door.

"Coming!" I opened the door and stared at a family holding different treats. There was one mom, one dad, a set of twins and a teenager, a boy, that looked into the distance and sighed, slowly leaning back on the edge of the house.

"Welcome to the neighborhood!" They all shouted with a voice bummed and late on the whole thing.

"Thank You so much. It seems like a lovely neighborhood." The teenage boy chuckled sarcastically. I dipped my head down, looking at my feet and then back at the family.

"Don't mind him. Honey, say hi," He waved his hand weakly." Let me introduce you to my family. My name is Ray-Lynn and this is my husband, Jeremy, my twins, Sam and Zach, and you've met my other son, Joshua, your what probably a year younger than him. You look about 16. He's 17 ."

"It's very nice to meet you all and good guess you would be correct." I smiled and shook each hand, lowering my hand when Josh didn't reach out his hand.

"Welcome to the neighborhood." Josh grumbled rising his hand. I reached out my hand to shake his and when our hands met, pictures of sorcery and death flashed through my mind faster than the speed of light.

I gasped and stepped back once.

"I'm Sorry, I don't know what happened. It was nice meeting you all, but if you don't mind, I'm going to try and get the rest of my stuff unpacked, but thank for this pleasant surprise and delicious food and deserts" They one by one handed me the treats and Josh pulled out 1000$ worth of cash with a note in it. I said goodbye, slouched on the floor, unwrapped one of the chocolate chip cookie tray and took one bite out of it.

I opened the note and read it out loud, but quietly.

Meet me at thousand oaks park at 10:00pm. Oh and have fun in this neighborhood!!

I sighed in curiosity and sat there as the entire day went by. I unpacked some stuff, moved the bed upstairs in my room and looked at my watch. When the clock ticked to 9:45 I looked on Google maps to find out where thousand oaks park was.

"Go Straight."

I opened the door, stepped outside, took a deep breath, and started on the walk to the park.
