New Neighbor Named Jeydon

2: Invitation to Lunch

After a few hours, we were done. They were exausted and so was I.

"Do you know any good places to eat?" asked Jeydon's mom. "Its almost lunch time"

"You can come over my house if you like" I said. I was sure my mom wouldn't mind. She loves cooking.

"That would be cool" said Jeydon. He smiled at me causing me to blush.

"Sure, as long as we're not a bother" said his mom.

I told them to come over in an hour which was at 12:00. Jeydon seemed happy as he waved goodbye to me when I left to let them get their rest.

I walked into my house to find my mom in the kitchen getting ready to start cooking.

"I thought you were in your room!" she said with a mix of confusion and worry. "Where were you?"

"Relax mom, I was just next door helping the new neighbors unpack. By the way they're coming in an hour. I invited them over for lunch"

"Oh, ok. How many?"

"Two"

She nodded and turned to grab some ingredients along with four plates. I walked upstairs to take a shower since I was sweating so much.

It felt good to be clean again. I walked into my room with the towel wrapped around me. I grabbed skinny jeans

with pre-made holes and a grey hoodie. After I blow-dried and styled my hair I did my make-up. I'm not exactly what people would call a girly-girl. My make-up was just enough to look presentable. Nothing more.

When I was done getting ready I grabbed my phone and walked downstairs. I checked the time and it was about 11:45. 15 minutes until Jeydon and his mom arrived! To pass time I checked my messages. I was pretty well-known at school yet I still had my little group of friends that I spent most of my time with. That group consisted of Beth, Ryan, Anthony, and Alexandra who we just called Alex. We all have all been friends since elementary school and this year we were starting our second year of highschool!

As I was reading my messages the doorbell rang. They were here!

I got up to answer the door.

"Hi! Come on in!" I exclaimed.

They wiped their feet and stepped inside.

Then my mom came to the door.

"Hello" she said in a super friendly voice. "You must be the new neighbors! Make yourselves comfortable"

After a few minutes of our parents talking and Jeydon and I pretty much just awkwardly staring at eachother, we all sat down to eat. We learned alot about eachother. Their last name was Wale and Jeydon was 15 just like me! I hoped we would have classes together.

When we were all done eating, we let Jeydon and Ms. Wale leave because they were both still very tired from the car ride.

They thanked my mother for the wonderful meal and headed out.

"They seem nice" my mother said. "Especially Jeydon"

She winked and gave me a look. I knew what it meant.

"Mom! I just met him!"

She rolled her eyes and started cleaning the table. "Whatever" she said.

I walked back upstairs to my room a little annoyed. I was tired too. Probably from lifting all that furnature. Even with Jeydon and Ms. Wale helping, it was still pretty heavy. I decided to take a nap.
