Sage
"I mean, it's not like a huge deal, you know." I shrugged. If course it was a big deal, I'm there new girl, i moved from Utah to Maine. I'm friendless.
"Okay, you start school Wednesday. I love you."
"I love you too Dad" he kissed my forehead, and I turned to run up to my room. My room was still basically empty, so I hadn't much to do in there.
I had this bay window, though, and I sat with a pillow, staring out the window. As I looked around the neighborhood, well what I can see out my window, and saw a boy. with blue hair.
I glanced at him, trying to gain details, and noticed he looked right up at me.
I caught him wave and I looked away. Shit.
After a few minutes, I decided to get up and get dressed so I can go out for a bit.
After getting finished, I ran down to my dad and told him I was going out.
"Hey!" I snapped my head to the left, to see the boy with blue hair. He made his way towards me and smiled.
"Are you the new neighbor?"
"Yeah" I answer, awkwardly.
"I've never been more excited for a new neighbor. I'm Ethan" he says, flashing a smile.
"I'm Sage" I giggle. He nods and looks back at his friends.
"Those... are my roommates." He says, letting out an embarrassed laugh. I smile, getting used to him oddly quickly.
"Um... do you want to meet them?" He asks, unsure of his decision. I nod slowly.
"Mark! Tyler!" He says leading me over to them. "This is our new neighbor, Sage." He stops, making sure to stay out of the way so they can see me.
"Hi! I'm Mark" The guy, with red hair, said. Wait... Wait, I know him. That's, that's Markiplier.
"Wait. Aren't you Markiplier?" I asked, as calm as I possibly could. He nodded, I glanced behind him and noticed Tyler. I recognise him, he's been in a few of Mark's videos.
"Sorry. I'm dumb, I um... I like your videos, but I won't spam anyone about this. You know?" I said, feeling dumb.
"You're not dumb, it's okay!" Mark says, trying to brighten up my spirit.
"How old are you?" Ethan asks, after a moment of silence.
"I'm 17, I'll be 18 in November." He smiles and nods.
"I'm 18, I'll be 19 in October!" I nod, feeling kinda sad, considering I can't see him everyday in school.
"What's wrong?" He asks, being the only one next to me now. Where did Mark and Tyler go? "Sage, you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine..." I say, getting quiet at the end. He gives me a skeptical look, putting his arm around me.
"We are gonna be great friends" His voice up so upbeat and happy, I couldn't help but smile.

"I gotta go, guys. My dad needs me back home." I say quietly. Mark and Tyler are too involved in their game to notice and I don't know where Ethan is, so I just get up to leave. As I put my hand on the front door, Ethan started down the stairs, and stopped abruptly.
"Are you leaving?" He asked, coming towards me. I nodded in response. "Okay, um I'll walk you home." I nod, again.
"Okay, um can I see your phone?" He asked, as we walked our short distance.
"Yeah, but why?" I asked handing it to him.
He started typing things, and I realized he was giving me his number.
"Here, text me whenever you want or need to. I'll almost always answer." He smiles, stopping at the stairs. I said goodbye nd quietly enter the house.
"Dad! I'm home!" I called out. I didn't get an answer back and went up to my room. Guess he is at work.
Out of boredom, I text Ethan, hoping he would answer.
(texts are above)
I didn't reply to Ethan. I decided to get ready for a shower, but heard a noise in the process.
I literally jumped out of my skin, and ran for my phone. My heart was POUNDING, and I started to breathe crazily.
I unlocked my phone and called Ethan. It's been like 20 minutes since we talked, but I can't do it anymore. My anxiety is outta control.
"Um hey, Sage?" He said as he answered.
"Ethan, p-please come over. O-or something?"
"Sage are you okay!?" He asks, I can hear him moving around.
"Mark! I'm going to Sage's house. I'll be back in a bit. Do you want me to stay on the phone?"
I nodded, forgetting he can't see me.
"Sage?"
"Yeah, sorry." I say quietly.
As soon as he got here, I hung up and quietly went to the front door. My hands were so shaky, and my chest and head hurt so bad.
I feel so dumb, but I don't trust or know anyone here and being without my dad scares me. Hes all I've had for so many years.
As soon as I opened the door, Ethan engulfed me in a hug. "Are you okay?" he asked, rubbing my back.
"No, but thank you. For coming I mean." He just nods, and keeps holding me. After a few minutes, we sat on the couch and watched netflix til about 4 am.
"Oh shit, it's 4 am. I gotta go, get some sleep you know?" Ethan said. "Do you want me to stay? I'm fine with staying on the couch." He added.
"It's up to you, Ethan" I looked down, playing with my fingers. He grabbed the blanket and laid it over me. Grabbing another blanket, he laid on the longer couch a few feet away. He and I smiled softly before falling asleep.
