It was the next day, I had already unpacked and what little furniture I had in place, when I heard a knock on the front door.

"Hi my names morgan Devane, your neighbor, I live across the street" a tall man said while standing in my doorway.

(This man looked a little younger than Drew maybe 26? With short dark brown hair)

"Hi I'm Caylin Walker" I said while shaking his hand.

"I noticed someone had moved in here and I just wanted to come and welcome you." said Morgan.

"Thank you!" I said with a big grin.

He paused for a second before continuing...

"We'll I better get going, I got to head to work in an hour." He smiled.

"Okay thanks for stopping by." I said then shutting the door.

He seemed nice but a little awkward at the same time...

I went out and was laying in the sun as occasional vacationers walked by when my phone began to ring. "Ring.. Ring....ring.....ring" I answered to hear my fathers voice. "Caylin have you looked at that house for me yet?"

"No I haven't really had time dad.."

"Caylin we made a deal, you still have to do your part of the job" he exclaimed.

"I know I know.. I'll go get ready and look at it right now ok?"

He agreed then we hung up. It was about supper time anyway.

A quick shower a scrunch of my hair with sea salt. and some makeup, I slipped on a faded pair of jeans that utterly adored and a hunter green tank top, some loafers and I was out the door.

After I looked at the house, I called my dad and assured him that everything looked good and was in great condition.

I then headed to get a decent meal in me.. After all, all I had was some chips I had picked up at a gas station. I hadn't had time to go grocery shopping yet.

The little town was not far from my house, so I took my little old red bike I've had since I was 16 and rode to a dine-in restaurant.

I sat down at a restaurant called "ben's chicken and seafood." the place was littered with surf boards and fake fish. The whole place was dimly lit and it smelled of frying pan grease. I began to scan the menu when I heard a familiar voice say "Hi I'll be your server tonight what can I get you?"

I looked up to see Morgan. "Morgan?" I said with a shock. "You work here?"

"Caylin?? Yes i-i-I do. what are the odds of us meeting again? Maybe it's fate." He sarcastically said while grinning ear to ear.

"Ahhhh..Iiiiiii...don't.. know.... Maybe." Well... ill have a sweat tea and the chicken strips and some fries.."

"Ok I'll have it right out for you" he said with a wink..

"Oh boy" I thought to myself, as I really wasn't interested in the thought of a relationship right now.

After I was finished I thanked Morgan and I was headed home....

While riding my bike home I got another phone call. Ring....Ring..... Ring. I looked at my caller ID to see it was my brother Tanner, who is 16 and still has a lot to learn about life.....

"Hello Tanner." I said

"Heyyyy, how's it going up there. Asked Tanner.

"Good I love it so much! What about you." I asked.

"Yeah it's going good.. Do you remember that girl I've like since the 5th grade? Well I finally asked her to the prom on Wednesday and she said yes!" Tanner said excitedly.

"Really? Ashley right? That's so great I'm happy for you.. I wish I was there to see you all dressed up in your little tuxedo.." I smiled while thinking about what my brother would look like .

"Haha I know, I don't want to wear it. Tanner said.

"Haha hey is mom there? Can I talk to her for a sec?"

(Silence*** Tanner?? Tanner? Tanner come on I'm not in the mood to be pranked right now.. shrieks* from a woman's voice in the back ground.)

"Mom! Mommmm!" Yelled tanner.

"Tanner!? Mom? Whats going on?? I cried out for a response.

I quickly hung up and called my father, "Dad! Are you home, where are you!? Dad you have to get home right now I heard mom screa- " I was interrupted.

"Caylin, Caylin, CAYLIN!" My father yelled.

"Your mother is fine! Your forgetful mother left the back door open and a 3 foot snake decided to come in an pay us visit." He said

"Omg...y'all almost gave me a heart-attack... Wait dad what did you do with it?" I asked

"I got a broom and nudged it into a sack, I then called the animal shelter and there on their way."

"Ok well what about Tanner?!" I asked

"He's fine." My dad said in a calm voice.

"Ok," I said.

"Ok sport I'll call you tomorrow, Get some rest." He said in a reassuring voice.

"Ok bye dad."

"Bye."
