The Boy Next Door

chapter four

"Man thats weird. So he was just in the closet? Like all alone?" Says Aurora.

Today is Wednesday and I was sitting with Aurora and Cade at lunch, where Adam was nowhere to be seen. I was telling them about what had happened with Adam yesterday, since they weren't.. uh.. present.

"Yup. He kept looking to the back of the closet where all the boxes were." I explain to them.

"Bro thats some weird shit. Maybe He's cheating on you." Cade says, picking up a carrot and putting it into his mouth like he didn't just say i'm being cheated on.

I look over at Aurora and she looks back, as we give each other confused looks.

"Thats ridiculous" I shoot back "He may be acting weird but I know for a fact he is NOT cheating."

"Okay, Okay chill out. Just a guess." He reply's, now taking a sip of his water.

Before I could interject for a second time, I see a person from the corner of my eyes sit down next to me. I look up and see Adam. He is quite possibly the last person I would like to see right now, but I keep my mouth shut.

"Hey babe" he greets me, kissing my cheek.

"Hi Adam" I say with a fake smile.

For the remainder of our lunch period, we ate quietly, with a few small conversations here and there.

"Well this wasn't awkward at all.. Cade and I have a spare right now so were going to go. Ill call you later Tal." Says Aurora, breaking the cold silence between us.

last period

I decided to let whatever happened with Adam in the closet go. I really didn't want last period to be awkward, especially when we have the same class.

As per usual, Adam came late to the class, but I don't really pay much attention to it because its kind of a tradition now. Not a good one, but still a tradition. Like birthday cake, only annoying and doesn't make you feel better.

Halfway through the lesson I look a couple seats down to my right, looking for Carter, knowing he is in this class, but frowned when I realized I haven't seen him all day. Maybe he was just sick.

"Psssst"

I look over to my left side now, to see my boyfriend tapping me on my leg with a pencil.

"what do you want? I'm trying to pay attention." I say, lying through my teeth, as I well know I was just looking for Carter, and not listening to algebra.

"I can't come over today." He says in a whisper. "I have to study for a science test." He tells me.

"You don't have science this semester." I reply back, frowning at his inability to lie.

"Oh. Uh did I say science? I meant history."

"Its okay." I smile. "Are we still on for the movies tomorrow?"

"Sure" he replies barely looking at me, glancing over at Brooklyn Hailot.

I give him a weird look and settle back into my seat until class is over.

back at home

It was about 4:30 and I was just finishing up my homework when I heard a commotion outside of my house. I peered outside of my window and see that the neighbours are finally moving in. That house has been empty ever since this old couple moved from there, to a retirement home. I sat back down at my desk and began doing the rest of my work.

About an hour or so later, I finally finished my work and decided to go downstairs to get a snack. But of course when I get there, there isn't any food besides a half empty cookie box and some old fruit. When mom gets back she really has to go shopping. Or maybe I should go soon, I've never really done it.

Finishing up my half ass cookies, I still hear the neighbours moving in. It sounded like someone was yelling and I really wanted to check out what was happening. I walk outside and stand on my porch, to get a better look.

There is a lady, maybe in her 40s. She has brown, curly hair and was wearing sweats and a tank top. She was the one yelling. She ordered around a man telling him what to do and such. He was middle- aged, with short brown hair. He wasn't wearing a shirt and had sweats on as well. He was carrying a box in his hands looked very tired and worn out. I can assume that they are married. The last person I saw was a boy, also brown hair, wearing a beanie, jeans, and a white t shirt. He too had a box in his hands, but his back was facing me. I couldn't see what he looked like but he was very muscular.

After 5 minutes of watching (which, may I add, is kind of creepy) , I return back in my house and shut the door. Maybe I'll go over there later and welcome them to the neighbourhood.
