Abby's POV

Hello, I'm Abby and right now I'm unpacking boxes and putting them in my new room!!! Yay! My dad insisted on me to take a break and walk around and get to know the place better, so obviously I agree.

I walk around and I notice there's a park about a block from my house that also has a skate park. So I take my brother's skateboard from his old room since he went to college. So while I was on a ramp I almost tripped on someone. I turn around and immediately I know who he is. I can't believe I just fell on Jace Norman!!! The star of Henry Danger. Stop being a fool Abby and say sorry. "I am sooo sorry, are you okay?" I said. "Yeah, I'm fine, are you okay? Any bruises or cuts?" He says. "N-no, I don't t-think so," I stammered. "Are you sure you're okay, you're kind of stammering, are you cold?" He says. "No, it's just that, um, you're Jace Norman from Henry Danger and I'm auditioning for the show Saturday," I say.

I hope he doesn't think I'm too crazy so if I get the part he don't want to work with me.

"Oh really! That's so cool!" I guess I'll see you later in two days,uh, what's your name?" he said. " See you in two days, Hahaha. And my name is Abigail but you can just call me Abby," I say. "Hey, we should keep in touch, what's your number?" He asked. I give him my number and he gives me his number. After we say our goodbyes I walk back home and help everyone finish unpacking since I was already done.

"Hey sweetie how was the park?" Mom asks. "It was amazing! I ran into the star of the show I'm auditioning in!" I exclaim. "Wow! Seems like your pretty excited for Saturday," dad says. "Dad of course I am! It's only two days away!" I'm so happy I can't calm myself down. "Well, were all done unpacking, Abby maybe you should go meet your new neighbors," my dad suggested. "Alright, I guess," I say.

I go upstairs to my room and brush my long blonde hair. I grab my phone and my purse. Once I grabbed my phone I realized that I forgot to put Jace's number in my phone. I turn my phone on type in his number then text him to see if it's right.

Abby: Hey it's me Abby. Is this Jace? I just wanted to see if this was the right number lol😂😂😂

Unknown: no hablo ingles.

Oops. I put 707 instead of 708.

Abby: Hey it's me Abby. Is this Jace? I just wanted to see if this was the right number lol😂😂😂

Jace: oh hey Abby! Yes this is Jace. Wyd?

Abby: about to meet my new neighbors.

Jace: okay I'll leave you be. Bye!😊

Abby: bye! 😄

Yay it was the right number!! Why am I so excited about that, do I -gag- like him???? Hell no I can't like a boy, at least I don't think I can. And besides my dad would never let me date. So strict. I walk out my room and go downstairs. "Mom, I'm going to meet our neighbors," I say. "Alright honey be safe and careful," she warns. "I know, I will, Bye!" I walk out the door and decided to go left first. When I rang the doorbell, no one answered. Should've figured there's no car in their open garage. Might as well go right.

When I get to the house, I ring the doorbell. A nice girl that looks like she was a teenager answered the door. "How may I help you?" She asked kindly. "Um, hi, I'm just hear to meet my new neighbors and get a little familiar with them since we just moved here," I said. "Oh, that's nice! I'm Glory Norman!" She said. Glory Norman that sounds familiar. Am I hallucinating or is that Jace's sister? "Um, just a thought, you don't happen to be related to Jace Norman would you?" I asked. "Why yes I would!" She said proudly. My heart totally dropped.
