    We were on our way to our new house. You were exhausted from the plane and tired since you woke up early. It was still 3 and our unpacking crew was outside. I took a glance at our new house. Damm it was big is all I thought. It looked like a socs house. "Can I go see inside" go on ahead. Me and Brian sprinted inside we looked around in the 1st floor. It was amazing I made my way out to the patio and we had a pool. "Brian come I'm here quick"I yelled. " what happened are you okay" he asked concerned. But then saw what I called him for. "What the hell, this is amazing". We lost in our thoughts when my mom yelled to come check out our rooms. We raced up there. " Julie your room is at the end and Brian yours is at the end. We ran inside. I opened the door and it said "Brian" in the wall. I walked out and me and Brian went opposite directions. I chuckled. As I walked into my room it was all white even the bed. It was a brand new bed. We had gotten all new furniture. It had my name on the wall. I had a nice big enough closet, bathroom, tv, and a balcony !! I walked out to my balcony I love it.
Awhile later...
I finished unpacking and my room looked great I had posters of Justin Bieber and some soccer and baseball stuff. I looked at my desk it had all the pictures of me and Ponyboy together. I missed him even thought I gourds we kinda broke up the other day. I felt tear coming down my eyes. I stood their for awhile crying. "Hey jul-" he was caught off when he saw me crying. "What wrong baby sis" he said running towards me hugging me. "Nothing I guess I just miss the gang and ... uh Ponyboy" I said quietly. "Oh it's all gonna be fine, ... I mean you'll find new boys here and I know it's gonna take some time but just sometimes things don't last and you gotta understand that" he said. I smiled and hugged him "I love you". "I love you 2" he said getting up. "Oh mom said to but the boxes from your room to the garbage can" he said before leaving. Although the was a pain in the ass he still managed to cheer me on whenever I was down and I did the same to him. I grabbed all boxes and started my tuff journey outside.  It was about 6. I was outside. Clearly struggling, I finally made it to the garbage can and I was putting things away some kid talked. "Hey are you new" I turned around to to see a Hispanic kid with jet black hair, olive skin and hazel eyes. Wow he sure was a doll. I noticed I didn't answer. "Oh um y-yeah" I stuttered out. I felt my checks begin to heat up. "I'm Benny Rodriguez I live next door" he said smiling and sticking his hand out. "I'm Julissa but my friends call me Julie" I said smile and shaking his hand. What the actually he lives next door to me!!! "Well Julie, do you need any help unpacking" I benny said emphasizing "Julie". I giggled. "No thanks I just finished awhile ago, but thanks for the offer"I said. He smiled. Wow it was just amazing. It got silent and awkward. "Am I considered your friend now" he asked out of nowhere. I laughed. "Of course I mean if you want to" I said. Fuck my cheeks are heating up again. "Of course I mean you sound like a chill person". "Thanks". I'm so awkward I can't think of something to say. "Where are you from" he asked you placing his hand in his pockets. "Tulsa, Oklahoma". His eyes went wide. "For real" i nodded chuckling. "I heard there were gangs and shit like dat over there"he said. "Oh hell yeah there is, we're kinda divided into groups I guess, like socs are white trash with mustangs , money and a future, and greasers are the low class with no future" I said placing a strand of my long black hair behind my ear. "Oh I'm guessing you were a greaserrr..." he said trailing off. "Yeah, it ain't no big deal". I said. It got quite. "I don't recommend moving over there" he chuckled. "If you don't mind me asking why'd you move here" benny asked. "Oh well I almost got arrested awhile back for being involved with murder" he stepped back. "Don't worry it's a long story I'll tell ya another time " he relaxed. "Anyways and I kept getting into trouble and the judge said it's better if we move somewhere else if we want a good future but what I don't understand is he knows other families are worse than us and he only took notice towards us" I explained. "So you were a a lil bady. He chuckled. "Had no choice, if you lived there being all soft and shit most likely you'll be dead" I said. "That's definitely not a place for me" he said. I laughed. "Yeah not for anyone, it dangerous, greaser can't walk by they lonesomes at night chase they get jumped"I said trailing off at the end. "Have you gotten jumped" he asked. "hell yeah I have, a lot almost killed once" I said. He looked shocked. "You don't have to worry about any of that over here" he said touching my arm. I shivered at his actions. "Julieee get your ass in here mom needs you" Brian yelled through his window. "Uhh well I have to go" I said. "Bye I hope I see you around" he said scratching the back of his neck. I smiled and started walking inside. "Julie" I looked back. It was benny. "If you're not busy tomorrow and if your mom lets you, I'll show you uhh-around" he said nervously. I smiled at his actions. "I would love to" I said back. "You haven't even asked yet" he laughed. "Benny my mom doesn't care where I go" I reassured. "Ohh, well I'll pick you up at 6?" He said in a question tone. "Alright well I'll see you tomorrow. He smiled and walked away. So did I. "Oo who's that your boyfriend" Brian teased me. "Fuck you nawh I just met him, sides he doesn't look interested in me" I said. "Mhm whatever you say lil sis" he said in an annoying tone. "Ah your very funny aren't you" I said before he went upstairs. I walked inside the kitchen. My mom was there in the phone. She was ordering pizza. She finally hung up. It was silent "mom I met a friend today and he said he would show me around tomorrow"I said. "He" she said smirking. "Mom no, he's just a friend, a very good looking one" I trailed off at the end. "I need to see how cute and I'll let you go" she said. "Mom!!". "I'm joking your free to go"she said laughing. "Since when do you ever ask for permission to do anything" she asked. "Idk just because" I shrugged. "Mmm alright" she said.

I have to admit Julie was hot. Wait what am I saying. I can't focus on girls right now. Baseball is way to important to me. I need to carry on what my dad left behind. He always tell me I need to focus on baseball and one day I'll make it to the big leagues. I walked into my house. "Hey mom I'm home" I yelled she came out the kitchen. "Hey baby, how was the sandlot" my mom asked. "The same old" I said. "Oh okay" she replied. I went upstairs and took a shower. After I got out I changed into some normal jeans and a baseball jersey. I checked my phone and I seen messages from Ashely Garcia the hottest girl in school. She sure was pretty but a stuck up bitch. She's been trying to get at me since 6th grade but like I said I don't have time for girls. I never had a girlfriend. I had crushes but nun of them lasted more than 2 days I guess. I went downstairs and dinner was ready. I felt a strange feeling in my stomach every time I thought about Julie. My sister Elizabeth came downs stair awhile later. As I was eating I kept think about her. What's wrong with me. "Benny mijo are you alright"my mom asked. "Oh uh yeah im-im fine" I stuttered. My mom looked at me for a second. "Is it about a girl" my mom smirked. "FINNALY" my sister Elizabeth yelled. "I was waiting until this day came"she said again. I felt my checks begin to heat up. "No no it's not!" I said. "Mhm who is it" they both asked. "Fine fine fine it is about a girl but I mean I don't have time for girls I have to focus on baseball like pa says" I said. "Benny your never gonna find love and your gonna die alone if you don't get your head out baseball" Elizabeth said. "Yeah your sisters right" my mom agreed. I stayed silent thinking about it. "How is she like" they both asked at the same time. I chuckled. "I don't know yet I'm gonna take her out tomorrow to show her around at six and as FRIENDS and maybe I'll get to know her better" I said. "All I know is that she moved here from Tulsa Oklahoma" I said. "Oh well I hope she not a bad influence on you" my mom said. "No uh don't worry ma" I reassured her. That when my dad walked in.
