I set down the last box in my room and sighed just as my phone buzzed. It was from my best friend, Nicole. She had moved here a few years before I had.

Nicole: how was the trip?

I texted her back immediately.

Me: Great! There's a lotta unpacking to do...

I sat on the ground next to towers of boxes and turned on some music. A few moments later, my phone buzzed again.

Nicole: I could come over and help! If that's cool...

I almost squealed, and replied quickly.

Me: awesome! I'm sure my mom won't mind.

I sent it and skipped down the stairs to the kitchen where my mom was unloading utensils. I got another text from Nicole.

Nicole: Yay! :D I'll be over in 5!

I smiled and sat on the counter while tapping my fingers excitedly.

"You know, Hana, there are still some boxes that you can unload."

My mom says, raising her eyebrow at me.

"I think I'll pass..."

I say, jumping off the counter as my mom gives me a disapproving look.

"Anyway... Nicole is going to be here anytime soon to help us unpack!"

I say excitedly.

Just then, the doorbell rings.

"Okay wel-"

My mom starts, but I cut her off.

"There she is!" I yell, and run to the door.

I open it and sure enough, Nicole stands at the door, a little out of breath. Her long brown hair comes down to her lower back, and her bangs stick to her face. She is wearing a bright red crop top with distressed high waisted shorts and blue vans. I squealed and pretty much jumped on top of her. We laughed and hugged for a while before I let her in. We went straight to my room and started unpacking.

"You've got a load of stuff!"

Nicole says with a strong accent.

"Yeah..." I say, and giggle.

"So, you know anybody that lives around here?"

I ask her, and she turns around.

"Well, myself, and... Oh! There are actually four boys live somewhere around here!"

She says, pulling out one of my pillows.

"Cool! What are their names?"

I ask again, throwing an empty box to the corner.

"Michael, who lives across the street from me, Ashton who lives I think a block away, Calum, who lives at the front of the neighborhood, and Luke who lives next door. Better yet, they all usually hang out at Lukes!"

Nicole says excitedly.

"Oooh, so what ones your boyfriend?"

I ask eagerly. Nicole laughs a little.

"Nah. they're just mates."

She says blushing a little.

"Right......."

I reply and we immediatly get back to unpacking.
