Drew's POV

I slammed open the door,"I'M HOME!" I yelled.

Keaton jumped and fell off the couch as soon as I yelled that. He immediately got up off the ground. "Gosh could you say that any louder..?" he said.

"Yes, I'M--"

"No no no it's fine, it's fine." he said waving his hands.

I chuckled. "So I met this girl named Serena, she's new here, she actually lives next door, and lucky for you Keaton, she's your age and smokin'"

Keaton plopped down on the couch again and buried his face in the pillow. He hated it when Wesley and I tried to set him up with a girl. He is always so shy and innocent. It's actually pretty funny.

Wes ran in with his socks on slipping on the hard wood floor,"What girl, who??"

Keaton and I both burst out laughing. Wesley and I both loved the ladies but Keaton on the other hand was the quiet one. "A girl named Serena just moved next door from New York," I responded.

"Is she hot?" Wesley asked.

"Dude she's hotter then hot," I replied.

Wesley grinned. Keaton just sat there holding his cat, Zuni, looking from me to Wes.

"But.." I started. "She's 16."

"That's not stopping me," he said.

*cough cough* I pointed to Keaton and winked.

"Ohhh," Wesley winked back at me. "So Keats you wanna seduce her?"

We both fell on the floor laughing. Keaton sat there pouting. "No! I don't even know her!" he said like a little kid.

"Whatever little bro. You know where to find me if you need help," Wesley walked back to his room.

"Seriously, Drew. If we are hanging out with her tomorrow you better not do anything embarrassing or say anything at all about me..Got it?" Keaton said seriously.

"Yeah yeah whatever Keaton, whatever you say," I grinned and walked to my room.

"Tomorrow should be fun," I thought.

Serena's POV

As soon as I opened the door, there my mom was. Her arms crossed standing directly in front of me.

I gave her "the look". Like the "What the hell are you staring at me for?" kind of look.

"So since when does it take more then 2 hours to go get a small amount of groceries?"

I just started to laugh. "What the hell are you laughing for?" she said seriously.

"God mom you freaked me out when you were looking at me like that!" I started to laughing more. "Well good news is, I'm fine, so no need to worry, I got the groceries--" I threw the grocery bags into her hands.

"And..?"

"Oh ya, and I already met someone close to my age here. And he happens to be our neighbor too. His name is Drew Chadwick and he is 21. He also lives with these other 2 guys named Keaton and Wesley. Keaton's 16 and Wesley is 20."

My mom nodded her head. "What?" I asked.

"Nothing, just thinking.." she said. "Well I'm glad you made a new friend sweetie, and thank you for getting the food," she smiled.

"Umm.. no problem. So I didn't really get a good look at the house. Where is my room?" I asked.

"Oh ya! It's down here, first door on the left," my mom pointed down the hall. Yes! No stairs! I hated stairs. They took so much work to walk up, especially when you have been walking up and down the same spiral staircase your whole life. I opened the door and immediately when I saw the inside, I fell in love with it. It was bigger then my last room, the walls were painted white and I had my very own bathroom! Ah yes I have been dreaming of this. Now when I have to go pee in the middle of the night, I don't have to walk down the hall. So far Huntington Beach was not at all bad as I thought it would be.

*The Next Morning*

I opened my eyes and stretched out my legs. It was 10:05 not bad. I took my phone off my night stand and saw I have received a text message from Drew 15 minutes ago.

Drew:

Hey:) So what's the plan for today? Oh and my friends Keaton and Wesley want to hangout with us too if that's ok

Me:

Yea that's totally fine. And idk what do you usually do here in Huntington?

I laughed at my text message. I sounded like I came from another planet or I was an idiot or something.

Drew:

Haha well um you could come over to my house and we can hang? Or we can go to the beach or something

I was honestly way to tired to go to the beach. And I needed some cute new bathing suits anyways. So Drew's house it is.

Me:

I'm to lazy to go to the beach haha can we just hang at your place?

Drew:

Sure! So I'll see you soon. The boys are excited to meet you;)

Me:

Haha see you in a bit:)

I got up out of my bed and put my phone back on my nightstand. I stripped off my pajamas and got in the hot shower. It feels so nice to be in my own shower, in my own room. After I got out of the shower, I blow dried my hair straightened it. Then I put on some mascara and eye liner and a little bronzer. I went to my closet and tried to pick out a good outfit to where. I chose a pair of Hollister shorts and a bat man t-shirt. I rushed out of my room and went to the kitchen where my mom was reading the newspaper and eating her breakfast.

"Good morning sweetheart," my mom said cheerfully. My mom was always really happy in the mornings for some reason.

"Morning," I grabbed an apple and sat down at the kitchen table.

"Where are you off to today?" my mom asked me.

"Going to Dew's house," I said.

"Okay, just text me when your on your way home."

"No problem." I went to the front door and slipped on my white high-tops and headed out the door.

"BYE MOM!" I shouted and slammed the door behind me.

It was a quick walk to their house. I mean it was right next to ours so it was like a 30 second walk.

I walked up there porch and ringed the doorbell.

"I GOT IT!" I heard someone yell.

Just as I was about to ring the doorbell again, a guy that looked about my age opened the door. I was just about to greet him and I looked into his eyes and I swear, I instantly got lost in them. I don't know why but I could not stop looking into his eyes.
