* indigo's house . *
indigo.
pulling into the garage of my humble abode, i quickly parked my car. i removed the keys from the ignition and got out of the car. i walked up the pathway and placed my key in the key hole, unlocking it and stepping in. i locked the door behind me and made my way into the kitchen.
"hey ma." i walked over to my mother and placed a kiss on her cheek. she sent me a smile.
"hey sweetie. how was school?"
walking over to the refrigerator, i grabbed a bottle of apple juice and unscrewed the top.
"it was alright. we got a new english teacher."
my mom looked up from the paper she was reading and furrowed her eyebrows.
"what happened to ms. ferro?"
i shrugged. "the new teacher told us that she was real sick and won't be able to return unless she recovers."
my mom nodded her head. "so who's this new teacher?"
"his name's mr. bieber. he seems pretty cool."
she sent me a small smile and i took a swig of my apple juice. when i was done, i placed the top back on it. i looked around the kitchen.
"where's dad?"
she sat her pen down and placed the paper in her purse.
"he's at work."
i nodded my head. i figured that. my father worked as a doctor and my mother worked as a lawyer. but, i guess she was off today.
"where's your sister?"
i let out a yawn before replying. "she told me that she was going over to julie's to do some homework or something."
my mother nodded my head and i took that as a signal for me to leave.
i grabbed my bag that i had set on the floor and headed for the steps.
"oh, indigo."
i turned around and raised an eyebrow towards my mother. "yes?"
"we have a new neighbor, and later we're going to go great them. make sure you tell your sister."
i furrowed my eyebrows. new neighbor? i wasn't aware of this.
i nodded my head anyway. "okay."
i turned and made my way up the stairs. opening my room door, i sniffed in the sweet scent of my vanilla candle. i guess my mom had lit it before i came home.
i placed my bookbag down in the chair that sat in the corner of my room. i removed my jeans and replaced them with a pair of black spandex. i took off my hoodie, revealing a bright orange sports bra. i stretched across my bed and sighed in relief.
my bed was a california king, and let me tell you, it is very comfortable. i could actually fit about four of me in this bed.
i reached across the bed and plugged my phone into the charger. i unlocked it, noticing that i had recieved a text from amari.
mar'bar 🍬 : i'm home alone !!! bring ur ass over here.
i groaned and replied to her text.
me : as tempting as that sounds, we just got a new neighbor and i have to go meet them later.
mar'bar 🍬 : aww, bby :(
