One Step Closer

Neighborhood

Rosalie*

The houses at the neighborhood is really freaking me out. Every time I heard something creaking it was always at the houses. I keep on hearing dogs barking, cats meowing and other animals making noises. This neighborhood is really freaking me out. I thought to myself. The only thing that isn't scary about this place is the kids living here playing at the park. They all are so cute. As I look at them a girl bumped me. She spilled her coffee on my shirt and I fell and landed on my butt.

" Sorry, for bumping you. " said the girl

" No it's okay it my fault anyway " I said standing up

" You're sure that your okay? "

" Yeah I'm fine "

" At least let me replace your shirt. "

" No it's really okay "

" No I insist, come with me. "

She grabbed my wrist before I can run and pull me to place I have no idea where.

She's pulling me to a her house maybe? She opened the door and we went inside. The smell of her house was nice, smells like roses. What I saw in her house was pictures of her family together and other things you can find in a normal house. We're walking upstairs to her room. And we went inside. Her room was a cute,girly and pink room. I sat at her bed " Hey I like your room "

" Thanks " she said getting a shirt in her closet

" Hey, what's your name " she said pulling a shirt out of her closet

" I'm Rosalie Thomas you can call me Rose, how about you ? "

" I'm Olivia Williams you can call me Vi, you're not from here are you ?

" I'm from here now, me and my mom just moved here a while ago" I said

" Ah, you're new here. Maybe tomorrow I can show you around the town so you won't get lost a lot "

" Okay, where should we meet at the park or at the clubhouse? "

" You know where the clubhouse is? "

" Yeah It's at the middle of the neighborhood " I said

" Then lets meet there, here try it "

I took off my shirt and wore her shirt.

" It fits perfectly "

I heard my phone ringing. I took my phone and answered it.

" Rose where are you, it's almost 6:00. You have to go home now " said my mom

" Mom calm down, I'm heading home right now okay " I said

" Okay, just hurry up and be careful bye Rose " said my mom turning off her phone

" Hey Vi I need to leave now my mom is freaking out already bye " I said getting my shirt and my bag.

" Okay, about the shirt you can return that to me anytime you want or you can call me if you want me to get that " she said getting her phone

" Put your number there okay. "

I took her phone and put my number. I said goodbye to her and left. I went to the route that I took when she pulled me until we are at her room. I made a new friend at this place. A sigh of relief came out. But the only thing in my mind was not getting lost.

I walked passed the houses that looks exactly like each other. I passed the house that looks like an artist lives there. I kept walking and walking and walking I checked my phone and something occurred to me how come my mom had signal on her phone. I checked if there is signal. There's signal like two to three bars. At last she could text someone outside the village. I texted my friend Alice to see what's happening outside the village.Then my mom called.

" ROSE why aren't you here yet it's 6:12 hurry and come home now "

" I'm coming home already, please calm down I'll hurry. "

" Bye mom "

" Hurry home "
