The boy from across the road.

Hey guys! So this story has gotten far and I just wanted to say thank you to all my readers.

Above is a picture of Jack and Olivia which is later described in this chapter.

Enjoy!!!

Jack's POV

"You're such an idiot Axel!" Edward yells.
"Shove off Green" Axel laughs.
I flipped through the photos on my phone out of boredom.
Axel and Edward were wrestling in my yard because Axel took the last donut, or something like that.
I came across an old photo that caused a large grin to form on my face.
The photo was of Olivia and I, in the photo she had her arms around me with her chin on my shoulder. She's laughing as if she was whispering something funny but couldn't stay quiet and I was smiling in response.
My hair is spiked up and I'm wearing a white polo while her hair is in pigtails and she's in a dress.
I'd say we were around seven or eight in this photo. We were so close then, but now we're as close as strangers.

I smile and lock my phone before walking over to my friends.

"So are we gonna do something? I'm bored as hell right now" Axel says sighing.

"You're always bored" Says Edward rolling his eyes.

"Because I'm always with you"

"Shut up Di'Marco"

"Make me Green!"

"Both of you shut up!" I yell.

Both of they're gazes flash to me and I cross my arms.
Suddenly I see a smirk appear on Edward's face.

"Why don't we go say hi to your neighbor?" he asks.

I freeze. Oh hell no, I am not letting my friends near Oli.

"Why would we do that?" I ask.

The smirk on Edward's face grows.

"She's pretty hot" Axel says shrugging.

My gaze snaps to him. Are you kidding me?!

Jealous are we?

No.

Sure.

I'm not.

Aha.

"Fine" I say crossing my arms.

A look of confusion flashes on both they're faces.

"You wanna go say hi? Go ahead" I shrug.

"You'd have to come Jack" Edward says in a duh tone.

"Why? It's you that wants to say hi, not me" I challenge.

"Because she's your neighbor dumb arse" Axel comments.

I consider it. Would Olivia mind? I did kind of want to see her...

"Okay, let's go" I say walking towards the back door.

"Really?" Edward and Axel both say, shock apparent in they're voices.

"Yeah sure" and with that I open the back door and proceed through the house and out the front door, Edward and Axel soon following behind.

We cross the street to Olivia's house and I knock twice. After a couple of minutes the door opens to reveal Olivia's mother Amelia, her gold curled hair around her face that displays a warm smile.

"Oh why Jack! It's been so long!" she beams at me.

"Afternoon Amelia, yes it really has been. I was just stopping by to see if Olivia was home?"

She nods happily.

"I'll get her for you, one second"

With that she dissapears in to the house while my friends and I wait.
Shortly after Olivia appears at the door.

"Jack?" she asks confused.

Edward clears his throat.

"Oh hey Edward, hey Axel" she smiles.

A goofy smile finds it's way to Edward's lips. He obviously has a thing for her.

So do you...

Shut. Up.

"So anyway..." I began

"Wanna hang out?" Edward blurted out.

Wait what?! We were supposed to say hi!!!

Olivia looked taken back to say the least.

"Urm, sure I'll come"

Wait, did she actually just say that?
