"If I'm a bad person, you don't like me. Well, I guess I'll make my own way. It's a circle, a mean cycle. I can't excite you anymore" singing under my breath, tapping my pen against the desk to the beat to the song with one earphone in listening to Ignorance.

Man, I love Paramore.

"Ohhhh!" I heard a voice out in lounge room. My mum. "I saw moving trucks outside today, I think we're having new neighbors in the hood!" My mum said loudly, She always like that. Loud and reckless.

"So?!" I reply loudly to her, as I lean back on my spiny chair in boredom. I bet the neighbors are old people, who would secretly hates me for my taste in music.

"So, it means that there boy is around your age is living next to us" mum suggests loudly in a sweet innocent tone, her way of getting me to check it out.

"Boy?" My dad reply a bit worried. Meet my dad, he is a pretty cool dad. He understands and sees good in everyone, just like me, almost like 'daddy's little girl or something because we're the same. Not that I'm complaining.

"Yes, a boy and a man that could be his father. We should say hi to them" My mum suggested innocently.

I pause my happy music and make my way into the lounge room, seeing my dad on the couch watching TV, and my mum on dinning table looking at me with those crazy eyes and a innocent smile that wants something outta of me (in a playful way, of course).

"Dad, I'm kind of scared of mum right now. She's looking at me weirdly" I said playfully and a bit dry as to due how tired I am. I knew I shouldn't hit the books too hard but it gives me good grades at the end.

My dad looks at his wife, as mum smiles innocently at him as dad shakes his head playfully while he chuckles at her.

How do they talk to each other with their smiles? Must be a love thing.

"Nah" dad turned to me and shrugs careless and continues watching the TV.

I pout at dad's actions and cross my arms stubbornly and looks at mum dryly with a raised eyebrow "What do you want me to do this neighbor? Bleach him to death?" I stated dryly with poor sarcasm, like I said before - tired mood.

Mental health note: never study on weekends... Full stop.

Mum gives me that look that says 'Really? Bleach them?', then shakes her head at me playfully "Aw, my poor baby has been studying too hard again. I told you not to overdo it. You should take a break with our new neighbor" she said in a teasing motherly tone.

I blink at her words about what she just said. "Take break with our new neighbor" yeah totally, taking a break with my new neighbor who has no idea who on Earth I am. I don't even know who is this neighbor either. We might as well kill each other with bleach.

What's up with me and bleach these days.

"Hm, let me think about that," I reply as I tap on my chin in mocking. "How about no." I said dryly also giving her a dead serious look.

"C'mon Scar, why not? Here's the deal; you go meet that neighbor, and in return I'll give you chocolate. Deal or no deal?" My mum said it innocently but it's kinda evil that she is trying to get me to do it for chocolate.

Everyone knows chocolate is one of my weaknesses, I love chocolate no matter what I need to do to get it. And other stuff too of course (but mostly chocolate).

I gently pitch the bridge of my nose while closing my eyes as I let out a sigh of tiredness. "Okay, deal. I'll go meet the new neighbors. But when I get home and tell you that I'm on good terms with our neighbors, I better have my chocolate." I said tiredly.
