Millard's POV:

"Can't I just be home schooled or do online school?" I begged my mom for what feels like the 100th time.

"I'm sorry but you need to learn to socialize with people." My mom said.

"But I hate talking to people." I responded and rested my head on the car window as we were passing trees like we have been for the last 5 hours.

"Where we moving to again?" I ask still uncertain about moving.
"We're moving to Ohio." My mom responded.

I got out my earbuds and plugged them into my phone and put on Fall Out Boy.

"We're here!" I heard my mom say excitedly as I opened my eyes from sleeping.
I yawned and stretched as I got out of the car to go see our new house.
"Your room is the third room to the right." my mom said as my dad opened the door.
"Oh I have to go to the office they said the investors moved the meeting to today. I'll see you guys later." My dad said and kissed my mom cheek and went in the car that didn't have all the stuff in it.
"I'm going unpack. " I said and brought my suitcase up the stairs and proceeded to get all the boxes.

I looked around my new room. The moving people brought the furniture before we got here so my bed is by the balcony door and my desk is across from it.

'Better get to work' I thought and started unpacking all my stuff.

'After unpacking'

I looked around the room as I finished putting up the last of my posters.
I opened balcony door and saw another balcony not far across. There was a tree in between the balconies so they weren't that far apart.
I saw someone moving through the curtains across on the other balcony so I went back inside.

"Hey mom what's for dinner?" I asked as I walked into the kitchen.
"Oh the neighbors next door invited us over to their house for dinner. They have a son your age. I was talking with the mother while I was bringing boxes in from the truck and they seem very nice." My mom explained.
"Do I have to go I don't do well with new people?" I asked but she gave me a looking saying I had to go.
"Finnneeee." I groaned as I went back to my room and turned on All Time Low as loud as my stereo could.
"Time to go" I heard my mom say and knock on my door to tell me to turn off my music.
"Hi Mary, this is my son Millard." My mom said introducing me to our neighbor.
"Oh come in I have dinner ready and my son is up in his room. Millard could you go get him?" Mary asked and mom my gave me a look saying I had no choice.
I walked up the stairs and knocked on the door that had music coming from it.
"Who are you?" The boy asked once he opened up the door. "I-I'm your n-new neighbor. Y-y-your mom said d-dinner was ready." I stuttered out and headed for the stairs , only to be stopped by a hand on my arm pulling me back.
"I'm Hugh. " he said with a smile and brought his hand up for me to shake. "I-I'm M-Millard." I said quietly and shook his hand.
We went down the stairs where our moms were talking and stood there waiting for them to finish there conversation.
"Ok it's time for dinner everyone go sit in the dinning room while I go get the food." Hugh's mom said and made her way to the kitchen.
"Oh let me help." My mom said and walked in after her while I went to the dining room to sit down.
Hugh came in and sat down next to me scooting his chair closer to me trying to act normal.
"So are you going to the high school?" Hugh asked me and I nodded.
"You don't talk a lot do you?" He asked and I shook my head.
"I'm sure I could change that." He said with a smirk as our moms came in with the food.
"So Millard what do you like to do?" Hugh's mom asked me trying to get me to talk.
"I l-like listening to m-music. " I said quietly looking down at my food I haven't eaten yet.
"Oh what kind of music do you like?" Hugh asked and turned towards me. "Rock and alternative." I replied.
"Cool me too." He said with a smile.
And that's how dinner went on for another hour till my mom and I were walking out the door.
"Oh they were so nice." My mom said and I nodded.
"I'm gonna go up to bed I'm tired." I said and went to my room and laid on my bed.
I hope school be as bad as that, I thought as I drifted to sleep.
