~~Garroth's p.o.v~~
I was sitting on the couch when I heard music coming from outside. I look out the window to see a girl getting out of her car, a moving trailer behind her. The music was coming from her speakers. It was a new song for a Smurfs movie Aphmau wants to see. She starts to unpack the trailer, bopping her head the head to the music. I walk outside.

"Hi! I'm Garroth, your next door neighbor!" I say. She ignores me, still unpacking the trailer. "I'm here to help? Do you need any?" I ask. She picks up a box that looks at least 20 pounds. She lifts it with ease, going inside.

"Um, I'm alive, you know." I say finally. She stops in front of me.

"I don't wanting you flirting with me, I don't want you being friendly to me. I don't want you talking to me, or even near me. Got it? Just think of me as a neighbor that never talks." She says, staring at me. I was shocked. What? That makes no sense... i think as she brings more boxes inside.

"Look, I'm trying to help. Please?" I ask. The song changes to 'Shape of You nightcore'. Don't ask how I know that. She starts humming to the music.

She keeps ignoring me until Zane comes out.

"Garroth, usually she'd be drooling over you. She not responding?" He asks.

"She's ignoring me." I say. She looks at Zane.

"You look nice. Can you help me with the boxes?" She asks Zane. I was taken aback. Zane?? Why Zane??

"Sure." He responds, picking up a box. I was furious, but I just went back inside. Laurence sees me stomp to the couch.

"Woah, what happened?" He asks.

"New neighbor ignored me when I wanted to help, but she asks Zane." I respond.

"Are - are you jealous, Garroth?" Laurence says, chuckling. I turn red.

"N-no."

"OH BOI YOUR STUTTERING YOUR TOTALLY JEALOUS!" Laurence says. "But why?"

"I don't know..."
~~reader's p.o.v~~
We bring in the last box. The raven haired guy sits on one.

"My names Zane, by the way." He says.

"[name]." I respond.

"Sounds bad-ass." He responds. I flinch.

"Let's just say I've had some history." I say, grabbing gum from my pocket.

"Why'd you want me to help instead of Garroth?" He asks.

"You looked like my kind." I say.

"Your....kind?" He responds.

"You're not an ex-shadow knight?" I say. His eyes widen.

"No! I tried to be one, but it didn't work." He says.

"Hm, typical. My brother Gene is really picky on who joins." I say. He coughs.

"You Gene's sister??" He asks in surprise. (Lol I accidentally put brother there first. 😂)

"Mm - hm. I have another brother named Dante, but I don't consider him a 'brother'." I say.

"I know Dante! He's our neighbor!" He says.

"Hm. I'll visit him. Give me his address." I say, holding my hand out.

"Why should I?" Zane responds. I give him my specialty. A weakening, horrifying death glare. It weakens the opponent and shows them there worst fear flash before there eyes. His eyes widen. "Ok..." he says, giving me coordinates. I start walking over to his house. I knock on the door. A white haired guy opens it.

"Hey, baby girl~" he says. I punch his stomach and kick his crotch.

"Where is Dante." I state. He points to the living room, holding his injuries in pain.

"Travis!" I hear Dante say. He rushes in and his eyes widen. "[name]?"

"Hello, Dante. Long time no see. Tell your friend to back off. He's trying to seduce me." I say, poking the white haired guy with my foot. Dante gets the person up. He gets him on the couch. Dante walks up to me and stares at me furiously.

"So." He starts. "You're aloud to barge in here and kick my roommate, and say 'long time, no see'? Since when?" He asks. Another black haired guy walks down the stairs. He doesn't have a shirt on.

"Dante, who's here?" He asks. He looks at me.

" 'Sup, Aaron." I say, give him a two finger salute off. His eyes widen.

"[name]?" He asks in surprise.

"You know my sister?" Dante says. Aaron's face turns red.

"Dude, that's you SISTER? I dated her when we were freshmen!" He says. Dante clenches his fist.

"How many fucking secrets are you gonna keep, [name]?!" He yells at me. He's inches away from my face. I push him away with my finger.

"Back up, Dante. I have something to tell you." I say.

"What, police after you and you need a place to stay? We've been through this, no." He says. I sigh.

"Will you let me finish?" I ask.

"Fine."

"I moved down the street." I say. His eyes widen.

"WHAT?! So you can torment me more??" He says. I slap him upside the head.

"LET ME FUCKING FINISH. I didn't know you lived around here. Neither did I know that Zane guy and that Garroth guy that kept flirting with me during high school either. So if we see each other, we don't know each other, got it?" I say.

"Why should I?" He says.

"I used the death glare on Zane today, I don't want to use it on you." I say.

"Fine. But why?"

"Because social services are on my tail, saying I took a check that wasn't mine. But that was my ex, Jax. He did it under my name. Trying to get it cleared now. Just flow with it, ok?"

"Ok." He says. I can hear the white haired guy groan from the couch.

"And keep your pervert of a friend away from me. He will face NOTHING but trouble if he so much crosses my path." I say, pointing to the guy.

"His name's Travis, and fine." Dante says.

"I'll get out of your way, it seems you don't want me. Bye, Dante. Bye Aaron. Bye perv." I say, making the last part to Travis. I walk out the door. I can hear Dante screaming and Aaron telling him no.

"HIS NAME'S TRAVIS!!" Dante screams.

"Dante, no! You can kill her some other time!" Aaron says. I smirk.

This new neighborhood is gonna be fun.
