Mayhem def. violent or damaging disorder; chaos.
-------------------------------------------
I open my heavy eyes, lazily slipping my soft sheets off of me. Ah, the joyous feeling of sleeping in on a Saturday. As I slide out of bed stomping down the steps I overhear my mother exchanging words with my father.
"Maria, I swear it's about damn time that someone moves into that house already."
"I agree Ricky, I just hope that the woman we saw has a kid around Colin or Safiya Violets age."
I grunt at the mention of my middle name. My mom knows that I don't like when she refers to me by that. My first name is odd enough, it's not like I need my middle name to get mixed up into that hot mess.
"I think I saw a boy roaming around the backyard earlier, he looked to be around Safs age, which I'm not so excited about."
I role my eyes at my dads protectiveness. A boy my age moving into the house that went up for sale several months ago? This should be interesting.
I make my way down the stairs pretending like I didn't hear anything they said, grunting at my every step. To be fair, I am definitely not a morning person. Even if it's already 9:00am but that's besides the point anyway.
"ITS ALIVE!" My dad shrieks as he does every morning, mocking me and my lazy manner. I send him a glare in return grabbing myself a bagel off the kitchen counter.
"Good morning Safiya! I have some good news! A family is moving in next to us finally. I hope you make friends with their son. And God knows that your father needs to socialize more hopefully with his parents." She says with a smirk.
"HEY! I don't appreciate that." My father says with a grin.
Gosh I love what my parents have. I hope one day I can get someone to look at me the way my dad looks at my mom, much like he is now.
I raise my eyebrows, pretending as if I didn't already know this.
"That's cool. I could really use a neighbor my age. The person closest to being my peer around here is Ms.Dawney. And she is 32."
My parents laugh at my comment as my little brother Colin makes his way downstairs.
"You two go get ready, we are going to introduce ourselves to the new family today! And yes Colin, you have to dress up. And no Colin, athletic shorts are not particularly nice clothes."
My brother snorts at my fathers remark and grabs a muffin, climbing back up the stairs.
"We are leaving in thirty minutes, so hurry up!" My mother adds.
I run upstairs changing into dark wash denim jeans paired with my fancier lace sweater. I let my hair down in gentle waves and slip on my matching floral lace sneakers. Considering how cold it is for a typical early November day, my outfit is appropriate.

My mother knocks on the door eagerly as it opens instantly. A woman around my own parents age flashes us an inviting smile.
"Hi there! I'm Marie Smith and this is my husband Richard. This is my 16 year old daughter, Safiya, and my 13 year old son, Colin. I guess we are your new neighbors!" My mother says with a gleaming smile and anxious expression.
The woman lets us inside revealing her stunning and expensive looking house, which is furnished beautifully.
"I'm Misty Fitch, it is such a pleasure to meet you! My son is out exploring the town, he just so happens to be your age Safiya!"
"You can call me Saf, it has a better ring to it." I reply happily.
"That's perfect. I also have a daughter named Milly who is asleep at the moment. I would love to introduce you all to them another time. It's so exciting to have such kind neighbors!" She beams enthusiastically.
My mother and Mrs. Miller exchange contacts, as I begin to roam around looking at the pictures in their family room. I see a picture of who I believe is Milly and might I say she is absolutely adorable. She has golden locks and light hazel green eyes. She must be around age two. I see no picture of a father but asking would be rude so I ignore it. I then see one photo of a boy around my age. Although this sounds utterly pathetic, he is stunning. He has the same golden locks as his sister, possible a bit sandier. He has ocean blue eyes that have a light in them, and is wearing a black v-next shirt paired with a nice pair of jeans.
I'm snapped out of my thoughts as my father calls my name causing me to leave the mysterious boy in the picture.
Later in the day I shower and slip on my fuzzy pajama pants and a comfy cropped tie-dye t-shirt. I wish my family goodnight and make my way to bed.
As I close my eyes my mind roams off to the moment yesterday with Lucas causing me to smile slightly. Eventually I slowly drift asleep.
"CRASH!"
I jerk up now awake by the sound that came from the patio. I glance at my alarm clock to see red lights flashing in my face. It's already midnight? As I squint my eyes and turn the lights on, I see him. The gorgeous boy in the picture peering at me.
What in the world is happening right now?
