My mom strolls into the kitchen with not one, but two other people following behind her. People I've never seen before in my life.
First, there was a man - who looked around the same age as my mom - with tan skin and hair the colour of ravens feathers. He was dressed smartly (considering the casual clothing my mom was wearing) with his crisp white skirt and black dress pants. He looked like I friendly guy but I was still curious to know who this man in front of me.
Next to him, was a petite girl, around the same height of a 10 year old, staring at her phone screen. She was tanned like the male figure standing beside her.
The man nudged her, resulting in her turning off her phone and staring right at me, her eyes burning through my face. She also had dark hair, but it was curly and also had sections highlighted blonde.
After what felt like hours (which probably was only a couple of minutes), my mom finally spoke up. "Kyle this is my boyfriend Daniel and his daughter. They are going to be moving in here" My jaw dropped in shock, I couldn't believe it. My mom was in a relationship and, she never even told me about it. She was looking at me, waiting for me to make a move, speak or something, but I couldn't. My palms were sweaty and there was a lump in the back of my throat. "Ok," is all I could manage to say. I was still in shock about the whole turn of events.
The girl (who I still didn't know the name of) was back to looking at her phone, no longer staring at me. I walked away, going to my room I didn't know what else to do, I could barely speak.
If only I knew her name...
