    *Laure's POV*

Day 1

    My first day home alone. I sit on my bed and look at my neighboring house, no one has lived there for years, i remember when i first moved to this town an old couple lived there but when one of them died the other went to live with their daughter in Miami. The house has been empty ever since, plenty of people have gone there and looked at the house but no one has ever bought it. When i look out the window i see their for sale sign is gone and there is a truck in the drive way.

   I have always fantasized about some hot boy moving into the house next door and us falling MADLY in love but with my luck another old couple will move in. I watch the house for several hours and see no change so i picked up my sketch book and pencil and went to the park.

    The walk only took five minutes, i always go to this park when i'm sad or i want to sketch, i had trouble with depression in my early tweens so i went there a lot. Many people aren't at the park because a couple years back they built a new one down the street so people forgot about this one. And as they forgot and neglected this park i took that as an opportunity for me to use it. I walk through the gate and run to the monkey bars, i climbed and positioned myself on top of the monkey bars facing into the woods. I spotted a squirrel climbing a tree and decided to sketch it. I noticed the way his claws dug into the wood and how his head would turn to make sure no one was around.

    I had been sketching for quite a while when i heard foot steps and the creaking of the swings. I turn my head around to see a boy sitting on the swing slowing rocking himself. He had blonde hair and was wearing a Nirvana hoodie with the hood pulled up. I had never seen him at school before and he looked me age. I got up and started to walk out of the park when i noticed him following me, i kept walking until i reach my front door, he continued down the street and walked in to the neighboring house. "No way" i whispered, a kid my age really did move here.
