We rolled up to the house. It was average, creamy colour. At the front was 2 windows far apart on the top, one had a balcony.

On the front lower part was 2 windows, larger than the top ones. In between was a white door.

"That's yours." Aunt Deylilah pointed up at the balcony room. "And that's yours Maggie." She referred to mom, pointing to the opposite room.

We nodded and collected our huge suitcase. I had to sell half of my clothes, and all of my furniture so we could earn some cash.

I grabbed my suitcase and lugged it up thet stairs, and into the room. It was a 1/3 of the side of the corridor. I guess my mom's was the other 2/3.

"How'd you like ya room?" Aunt D stood at the door. I looked around and gazed. "Well this sweet girl Lauren has offered to show you around." She left.

I put my suitcase on the purple bed, and ran downstairs. Just to the right of me, the kitchen was. I turned to see a pretty girl staring at me.

"Hey, I'm Lauren." The girl shook my hand.

"Amber." I shook back. She smiled at me.

"I'm here to show you around wonderful Indiana." She beamed. "I hope you don't mind, my boyfriend, Taylor will be joining us." She asked.

"Not at all. The more the better." I nodded. She smiled more and we walked out the house.

"So how's Indy?" Lauren asked.

"Fun, Hot." I wiped my head, and she chuckled.

"Lauren!" A boy waved. He was kinda cute.

"Tay." She ran across the road into his arm, and kissed.

"Who might we have here?" Taylor faced me smiling.

"Amber. You must be Taylor." I shoved my hands in my pockets. He nodded, and hugged me. Hard.

"Thanks." I said trying to squirm out of his grasp. When I eventually did, Lauren just stood there and laughed.

"Let's Go To Lula's Ice Cream." Lauren smiled as Taylor put his arm around her shoulder.

When we arrived, Lauren offered to get the Ice Creams. Me and Taylor ordered cookie, and she ordered strawberry.

"So, how you liking Indy?" He asked in his cute accent.

"Good." I nodded, trying not to make contact. He had the same colour eyes of some guy I used to know.

"Where abouts do ya live?" He looked around.

"I live with Deylilah Kinley." I smiled. His head shot straight at me.

"You love with Miss. D?! I love that woman like my own mamma. I think I'm coming over today. I do every Friday." He smiled.

"Here you go." Lauren placed the ice cream cups on the table before I could reply. We ate up.

"Hey... Listen. I'm gonna go." I kinda thought it was like I was third wheeling. I hate third wheeling.

"Tay will walk ya home. He's going to Miss. D's anyway." Lauren kissed him goodbye. Wow, everyone called my Aunt, Miss. D
