FAYS POV

after Matt defended me, then properly introduced himself, we said our goodbyes and I thanked him once again. after Matt walked away an I recovered fully from the previous events I snapped out of my thoughts and ran to nick.

"oh my god nick are you alright?" I asked quickly searching his body for any obvious injuries. when I realized he was alright I helped him to his feet & when he met my eyes I hit his shoulder.

"what the hell were you doing? that guy was way bigger then you!" I said anger laceing my voice.

"I didn't like the way he was treating you." he shrugged.

"well that you nick but please don't get hurt defending me." I smiled at him & he grinned in return.

the bell rang makeing my eyes snap down to the watch on my wrist. I had lunch than two other classes before I was able to go home. I sighed and ventured off to the cafeteria & sat by a few girls who welcomed me and my last two classes went by slowly. nick was in my last class and we sat together, seeing that I had no other friends yet. my last two periods I was approached by quite a few different groups of girls. they were all very eager to hear my story, and find out if I had my eye on anyone yet. it was a good start to this school year, I think, considering I had already met the most gorgeous boy I've ever seen, and the girls at this school were eager to talk to me for some unknown reason.

I sat alone on the bus, but I didn't really mind. I got a few minutes to think, and text dalt, considering I didn't get to see him all day. I would say It was a pleasant bus ride because I got to listen to my favorite songs on the ride home. as I reached to turn the knob of my front door it swung open and I was met by my father, who had an abnormally large smile plastered on his face. i was abit taken back because my dad usually stays late working, or takes dalt to the cages after work. he was almost never home when I got home from school. I stepped inside hesitantly and heard a Femanine laugh coming from our new kitchen. I looked at my dad with confused eyes. he mouthed something that looked like 
"neighbors" but I couldn't fully understand before I was being led into the kitchen.

a tall women with long brown hair that curled to a hault in the center of her back. she grinned at me showing a row of perfect white teeth & her ice blue eyes took my breath away.

"fay this is mrs. Parker, she lives a few houses down." my dad announced, still with that grin stuck onto his lips.

"oh please honey call me carol!" mrs. Parker said with a breathtaking smile.

"actually sweetie carol had a favor to ask of you, she has a six year old daughter, Katie, who is going to be home alone tonight & her son has practice, so she was wondering if you were available to watch her!" my dad spoke, looking at me with hopeful eyes.

"absolutely! I'd love to!" I said, & I really was happy to do it, I loved little kids, expeacialy little girls!

"great! could you be over in an hour, say 5?"

I nodded & excused myself. I ran upstairs & quickly hopped in the shower. I turned the water as hot as I could bear & just let it run down my back. I closed my eyes & thought about my new town, my new house, & my mom. I felt a tear slip from my eye at the thought of her but I wiped it away before more could come.

it was your fault.

I shook my head & forced myself to stop thinking about her, & I turned off the water. I dried my hair & changed into my favorite pair of leggings, & an old Tshirt. I threw my hair in a loose braid & applied a small amount of mascara. I glanced at the clock next to my bed & it read 4:50. I walked down stairs, said a quick goodbye to dalt & my dad, & ran out the door. I walked down my street, to the house three doors from mine, & knocked on the front door. after a few seconds a small brunette girl opened the front door, smiling up at me without her front teeth. the sight of her made me smile, & she looked at me with wide eyes.
