                              The neighbors

"My name is Carla"  I was telling are next door neighbor that just moved in like two days ago . They started saying  " my name is John and this is my beautiful wife named Carly and are son named Sergio".  I was thinking in my head damn Sergio is so cute but all I actually said was " hi nice to meet you all " . I was looking at the Jefferson family and was wishing my family could be that great. I looked at the Jefferson family and said " well I will see y'all around "   And then I walked away to go into my house. I opened the door and got a big whiff of alcohol. Right then I Knew what was going on. I walked in the kitchen and my mom was drinking a bottle of vodka. I called for my brother " Jake , Jake,Jake,Jake" I keep yelling and finally jake came down stairs yelling "what do you want ?"  I told him " I need help with mom !" Jake knew what I meant . He walked over to me and Mom and picked mom up and took her to her bedroom laid her down and took the bottle of vodka from her and kissed her on the cheek and said " I love you mom"  . Jake and me walked out of the room and jake just said " you better not tell anyone Carla!"  I looked at him and said "why would I?" He just looked at me and walked away . I walked to my room and shut my door really quietly so I didn't wake up my mom . I got out my diary and started writing( Dear diary today is Monday the 4th of February and today we got new next door neighbors they are really nice. The son of there's is really cute but he would never go for a girl like me. It hurts to say but it is true. Well other than that my mom drank again today it hurts me to see my mom like that . Sometimes I wish my dad never would have gotten in that car . Sniff, sniff I felt the tears start to come out . So I just stopped writing about him ) I closed my diary and put in in my secret hiding spot ( under my bed ). I got up wiped my tears and sat down and I was thinking of what I could go to that was fun.. I stopped thinking for a second and then said " I can go hang with the next door neighbor son ". I got up and when to go tell my mom that I was leaving but then I remembered she was asleep so then I just walked down stairs and left . I started walking to Sergio house and I was thinking about how cute he was and how ugly I was but I stopped thinking negative and I walked up to the door and then I went to knock and then someone opens the door and I jumped back and when I looked up it was Sergio and this blonde head girl . Sergio said " oh hey Carla. I wasn't expecting you ". I just looked at him for a second and the said " oh yeah I was going to see if you wanted to hang out . But I didn't know you had company " the blond lady looked at me in this weird look and she just put her hand out and said " hi my name is Briana". I looked at Sergio and then looked at her and then I just said " hi my name is Carla" she put her hand down slowly and rolled her eyes and then looked at Sergio and said "well I am going to go" Sergio said " oh okay I'll call you !" She just looked at him and then looked at me and said " umm okay" . I don't know why but I just wanted to punch 👊Brianna in the face so bad . So after Brianna left Sergio said " oh yeah we can hang., you can come in" I just looked at him for a second and was thinking if I should go in or not but I guess my feet knew what to do before I did . I walked in an Sergio parents yelled " Hi Hun ! We wasn't expecting guess sorry about the mess!" I looked at them in shock because I didn't know why they where yelling but I said " hi Ms Carly and nah it is fine y'all just moved in . I totally understand" and before Carly could say anything else Sergio interrupted " carla come on , mom you can talk to her later" I just looked at Sergio mom and laughed and said " we will talk later" she said " okay Hun have fun" Sergio showed me the way to his room I was looking around there house and it looked just like mine big and beautiful . Sergio said "so where do you want to go" . I just didn't say nothing and I was thinking and I said " well where haven't you been?" He looked at me and laughed and said " I haven't been anywhere 😂" I felt so stupid and just said " oh yeah , y'all just moved here" and I laughed to try and pull it off . He said " yeah" so I just said "well we can go visit the high school that you are going to be going to there is a game tonight" Sergio said " yeah let's go do that but wait what is the subject of the game ?" I said "football ". Sergio yelled " YES I LOVE FOOTBALL 🏈" . I was thinking someone cute and buff like you would love football . But I didn't say that I said " well yeah it is a football game" He was grabbing his jacket and said " well what are we still doing her let's go !" I laughed and said " okay" Sergio ran down stairs and said " I am going to the football game with Carla be home at 10" his parents just said " okay bye love you" Sergio shut the door and said " do you need to go tell your parents you are going?" I looked at him and just said " nah they won't care" I didn't want to tell him about my parents yet . He looked at me and said " oh okay" we got into the car and started driving to the high-school😊
