Summer 2020
I'm sitting in my back yard under my favorite tree reading my favorite novel "Lost Love" when I hear a sound coming from my neighbor's garage. They moved in a week ago but I never really got to meet them. My mom told me that they have a daughter about my age and she would probably be attending my school. I kept finding it curious that I never once saw the girl. It's like she's hiding or something. I tried calling a few times but no one seems to pick up. So I just stopped trying.
As I'm reading my book I hear someone call out to me, "Hey there! My name is Riley, I live next door". As I look up I see a blond beauty with blue eyes and perfect white teeth. "Hey... um... my name is Liv. I tried calling you guys to welcome you to the neighborhood but no one ever picked up", I said while closing my book. "Oh, most of the time we are super busy unpacking and stuff which reminds me that I should be getting back. Imma come over later if that's okay with you!!!", she said and waited for my answer. "That would be great!", I said. "Cool, catcha later!!!", and she ran home.
Okay I don't know what just happened but I know it was unexpected. Did the ghost girl actually come out to talk to me??? WOW!!! okay then. Well I'd better get ready then. Damn I gotta clean my room. Turns out, I never realized how much of a messy person I am. I mean I had two shirts folded on my bed. It's like a hurricane blew through my room. So I placed them in my drawer before anyone could see what a mess I made. That was a close one!!!
