"Hey. " He said. His hair is blond and eyes dark brown. He flashed a small smile.

"Um hi. " I said smiling. He was just standing there, watching me sit on the ground.

"Why are you sitting here? " He laughed a little.

"Well i forgot my keys so im locked out. " I said casually. I had to block the sun with my hand.

"Oh you live here? " He asked me surprised.

"Yeah i just moved in. " I answered him. He has a perfect smile. I'm wondering does he live in our neighbourhood.

"You live with Jake and Mariel? " He asked me.

"Yeah actually they're my cousins. " I said to him. He looked surprised.

"Really? That's cool." He said. Then he came closer to me.

"Well, I can keep you company. " He gave me the cutest smile. "By the way i didn't catch your name.. " He sat right next to me.

"Haha thanks, I'm Mia. " I said and smiled to him.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Matt. " He said and shook my hand. We laughed a little.

"So where are you from...? " Matt asked me. He was so adorable.

"I'm actually from Finland. " I said to him. His eyes went big.

"Finland? That's like on the other side of the world! " He laughed "Why did you move here?"

"Um... I had some issues back home. " I didn't know what to say.

"Oh okay. I don't want to be nosy. " His deep brown eyes just caught my attention. I could not stop staring at him.

"No it's okay! " I answered to him as friendly as possible. I think this is not the place and time to tell him, hey my mother is dead. We were chatting a little and soon I saw Darlen's car driving to our yard.

"Hey thanks for keeping me company! " I said and smiled at him. We got up from the ground.

"No problem! See you around then Mia. " He said and walked back to his house backwards staring at me. I pretended I didn't notice him still looking at me. He unlocked his door, so apparently we're neighbours. Awesome.

Darlene got up from the car carrying some grocery.

"Honey what are you doing outside? " She asked me.

"I forgot my keys and Mariel went to volleyball practice. " I said to her.

"Oh my I totally forgot to give you the keys, how stupid of me. I'm so sorry honey. But i see you had some company! Matt is such a friendly boy. " She said and went in. I gave one last look to his yard hoping, I'll see him again.
