1 - The boy next door.

-Pidge's POV-

I wake up to the light beaming onto my face from the window. I didn't feel like getting up, it was summer break so I could sleep in for as long as I felt. I love that feeling, being all wrapped up in a warm cocoon on a holiday when you're just lying in bed not bothered to open your eyes. Just having your eyes closed as you hear the bird chirping and the children playing. It was a good feeling, I didn't want it to end.

As I was having my comfort time, stupid Matt had to ruin it "Katie! The new neighbours are here! Come say hi, they have a younger brother that's your age." Matt basically screamed as he broke down my door. Okay, maybe I was exaggerating that part a little, but that's what it felt like.

I grunted as I rolled over and fell off my bed. I finally opened my eyes as I was laying on the ground, feet still on the bed, to check my digital clock that was on my bedside table. 8:34 in the morning?! I should still be asleep, I don't wake up until, at least, 3pm on a non-school day.

I reached my hand to the nightstand and wander my hand a bit until I reached my glasses. I put them on as I rolled over onto my back. I stared at the ceiling for a little bit, looking over the tacky plastic stars that were plastered onto the ceiling. They weren't glowing too much as the sun shined into my room from the window.

I got up from my place on the floor, slowly, making sure to take my sweet time. I dusted off my pyjama shirt and grab my phone, which was charging on my bedside table, and shove it down the pockets of my camo sweatpants. Matt liked to joke around with these pants, saying stuff like "WHERE ARE YOU LEGS?! I don't see them." Stupid Matt, he makes that joke every time I wear them.

I reluctantly walk out my room, trailing down the stairs as I fix my glasses on. I trail my fingers along the wall, looking at all the picture frames and I jump the last few steps. Matt was at the front door waiting for me to get down from my amazing sleep.

I lazily walk over to where he was waiting and he grabbed my hand as he ran out the door. He caught up to the house next door to our mom, who was talking to the new neighbour.

"Hi! The names Mathew. This here little girl is my sister Katie." He said as I hid behind his back. I shakily pier over his back, looking down at the ground, and give a little wave. I give a glance to the new neighbours and I saw a woman, looking around her thirties, with a small boy next to her. He was hiding behind her back, also peering at the side of her back like I did to Matt.

I look up at him, he was a small frail boy, his skin was tanned and had adoring freckles scattered on his nose, slightly spilling off his nose and spreading to his cheeks. His hair was a shade of dark brown, almost black. It was really messy but also put together. It looked good with the combination of his wrinkled white shirt with dark blue sleeves.

He looked nervous and shy, much like me. I look at his face and our eyes found their way to look at the others. We stay like this for a bit before turning out heads to the ground. Almost in sync.

The mom then spoke "Hello Matthew, I'm Ms. McClain. This little shy boy is Lance. Lance, mijo, this boys name is Mathew, this is his sister, Katie." The boys eyes widened as he heard his mom say my name.

"Lance! Lance! Come! Let's play!" Another small boy, clearly younger than Lance, screamed out as he ran to Lance. "Oh, Benji. Wanna go check out the back yard!" Lance said as his dark brown eyes sparkled as he mentioned the back yard.

They both boys ran off and me and Matt went back to the house. The house was literally next door, so close we could jump to each other's bedrooms through the window.

Me and Matt walk through the front door, it was a pretty warm day since it had just turned June. YES SUMMER BREAK! I grunted as I flopped, face first, into the couch. I grabbed the remote from the arm rest and start switching through the channels. Matt went to the kitchen, which was only separated by a countertop, and got some water.
