Today I decided to have a lazy day at home. Dad and Mum were working (just letting you know it's school holidays in the book) and Hunter and I were home alone. I did my usual and got myself ready and sat on the couch. I scrolled through Instagram and had 20 new follow requests. Since I was 'friends' with Chris, I decided to put my account on public. New followers were filling up my notifications. *Crash Boom* I look outside the front room window and see a moving truck and a family of 4; 2 parents, a boy around my age and a younger girl. The guy noticed that I was looking at them/him and waved. I smiled and waved back too.
*2 hours later*
I decided to go out into the backyard and I sat with my feet dangling in the pool. I heard laughter and yells that were playful. I put some bricks against the wall and peeked over. The boy was facing me and his sister with her back to me. He looked up and noticed me "Hi, I'm Tyler. What's your name?" He asks smiling "I'm Bailee." I reply "Hey, do you want to go to the park tomorrow, I could do with a tour of the place." He says "sure! What's your sisters name?" I say back "This is Willow, she's 9. I'm 15. What about you?" "I'm 15 also" I say "I better get back, mum should be home soon. Bye!" I say going back inside.

*skip to 7:30*
*ding dong* I get up and answer the door. It's Chris. I grab his arm and walk to my room. "Bailee, why'd you leave me yesterday?" He asks a bit upset. "I was worried something had happened." He says "I left you with your future ex-girlfriends." I say sarcastically. "Look, I'm sorry for what's happened for the last couple of days and I was wondering if you'd like to go to the park tomorrow?" He asks "Sorry Chris, I would like to come but I'm going out with a new guy called Tyler. He moved in next door. Do you want to come?" I ask sincerely "Uh, nah, I'll leave you two alone tomorrow. Um, have fun, uh bye." He says backing out of my room. I'm starting to think somethings going on between us...
