Alice' POV
Outside of my window there's a truck and two people moving a couch into the house next door. It seems like they are a couple. I watched them move their things in, forgetting about the book laying open in my lap.
After a couple minutes a car pulled up in front of their lawn. A young boy who couldn't be much older than me stepped out. His dark sunglasses masked his appearance and his hair fell in front of his face. Despite the warm weather he wears a leather jacket and blue jeans.
"This boy must be crazy. I'm suddenly intrigued." The woman walks out of the house with the man following behind.
"Where have you been? You were supposed to be right behind us." The woman pulled the boy into a quick hug that he only slightly leaned in to.
"I told you we shouldn't have trusted him with my car. He could have wrecked it or gotten a scratch on it. You know he would have just to spite me." The man stood with arms crossed and, despite his rugged handsomeness, his attitude put me off. I strained to hear every word they were saying. It was getting interesting.
"Who's saying I didn't?" The boy matched the mans posture and got in his face. An action he did very well, as he was almost taller than the man.
"Josh come on. Leave the kid alone. He's here now so let's just keep moving these boxes." Both guys backed off and started moving boxes. I waited for a few more minutes but no more words were spoken other than simple directions.
I watched the boy who remained unnamed until hopping on my bed and returning to the pages of my novel. I decided to call him Mystery Boy because what was more cliché than that?
