"Everyone get in something you would wear to church" My mom yelled from downstairs where I could smell her famous cookies baking.
"Ugh, what is it this time?" My sixteen year old sister, Bella, walked into my room and plopped herself onto the floor.
"Who knows, maybe this time we'll actually be going to church" I said already looking through my closet for an appropriate dress.
"You ready?" My nine year old brother, Oliver, came into my room already in his suit and tie with his hair slicked back.
I pushed them both out of my room so I could change in peace. I threw on a girlie yellow dress, it was my favorite thing in my closet. I dabbed on some concealer and applied a light amount of mascara and let my hair out from it's messy bun.
As I walked down the hall I saw my 13 year old brother, Sam, trying to stick his hair up with gel.
"Sam, what are you doing?" I crossed my arms standing in the entrance of his room.
"Trying to spike my hair up, it's what all the rock stars do" he gave me a look as if it was obvious what he was trying to achieve.
"Mom's not gonna like that. You know that, right?" I tried to hide a laugh.
"I don't care. I do what I want, I'm punk rock!" he finally got his hair to it's perfect amount of spike.
I threw my hands up in defense, "Fine, whatever you say".
We both walked downstair to meet my family all dressed in their Sunday best. My mother had a plate of cookies in her hands and Oliver held an arrangement of flowers from our garden. It was apparent, someone was moving into the neighborhood.
The couple who previously owned the house next door broke up and sold the house to a new family but I had no idea they would be moving in so quickly. My dad rang the door bell and we were all forced to put on insanely fake smiles.
A brunette woman opened the door. She had on an apron and flour on her hands. We handed her our "peace offerings" as Bella liked to call them and we were invited inside.
"I'm Joy Hood, by the way" She wiped her messy hands with a cloth and shook all of our hands.
"I'm Toni, this is my husband Rama, oldest daughter Hannah, then Bella, then Sam, then Oliver" we all waved individually as our names were called.
"Do you have any children?" My mother asked making herself at home in Joy's living room.
"I do! I have my oldest daughter, Mali Koa, she doesn't live with us anymore she's much older than your children. And then my youngest, Calum, he's eighteen" Joy took off her apron and sat down with my family.
"Oh Hannah's eighteen! Is he going to be joining her class at the high school?" my mom was praying I would make new friends besides my three equaly socially awkward friends.
"No, unfortunately Calum dropped out of school last year when we lived in the next town over" Joy said with slight dissapointment.
"What are you baking? It smells amazing!" my mother tried to change the subject.
"Oh I'm just making some snacks for my son and his band" Joy seemed a little more proud from my mom's compliment.
"Wait Calum is in a band?!" Sam spoke up.
"Yes he is!" Joy answered a little bit shocked by Sam's sudden outburst.
"Are they punk rock?!" Sam stood up with excitement.
"They sure like to think so" Joy chuckled a bit.
"Can we meet them?!" Sam asked.
"Of course! I was just about to bring them some snacks, would you kids like to come with me?" Joy offered.
"Kids why don't you bring them the snacks yourself so dad and I can talk a bit more with Mrs. Hood" my mom gave me that look she always gave me on the first day of school, the look of 'Go on, make friends, please, I'm begging you!'.
"Let's go!" Sam pulled my hand and we all followed him towards the kitchen.
We each grabbed a plate of food that looked delicious and carried it out to their garage. Sam jumped up and down as we could hear that they were indeed punk rock. And very loud might I add. A strong bass, loud drums, guitar riffs, and lyrics about wanting to be eighteen all came from the garage. I found it weird considering Calum was eighteen, but who knows, maybe he plays in a band with a bunch of dorky 14 year olds.
Once their song ended I knocked on the garage door. I heard one of the boys yell "Come in mom!" I assumed that was Calum.
"Hi we live next door, and we wanted to say hi" I said awkwardly, "Oh! And your mom wanted us to bring you snacks" I handed the plates to the guy who looked exactly like Joy.
"Thanks" he said shortly.
"I'm Hannah by the way" I once again said awkwardly.
"I'm Sam!" Sam piped up.
"Hey man! I'm Michael, that tall guy is Luke, the guy bhind the drums is Ashton and that's of course Calum" A guy with bleach blonde hair said, "I love your spiked hair bro!" of course they would get along.
"So Hannah, how old are you?" Ashton asked.
"I'm eighteen" I answered.
"So are these three lads, I'm twenty though" Ashton said.
"Can I play on your drums?" Oliver asked.
"Of course little man! Come over here I'll teach you some things" Ashton motioned for Oliver to sit bhind his drums.
"Are any of you guys in school?" I sat down on an old torn up couch.
"Nope" they all shook their heads as if I had said something completely ridiculous.
"So Luke, do you have a girlfriend?" Bella batted her eyelashes towards Luke as he tuned his guitar.
"Um... yeah" He quickly became very uncomfortable.
"Oh, that's a shame" Bella shrugged her shoulders.
I rolled my eyes and shook my head in embarassment. Bella has always been the biggest flirt.
"We actually have to get back to practice so..." Calum made the suggestion that we leave.
"Are you kidding right now?" I asked Calum. Great, I have the biggest jerk on the planet for a neighbor.
"We need to rehearse" He picked up his bass.
"Mate don't make them leave!" Michael was showing Sam his guitar.
"No, I think we have to go anyways" I said recieving disapointed looks from everyone excpet Calum.
"Nice meeting you guys, I guess" I took Oliver and Sam's hands dragging them out of that garage.
"Yeah, can you close the door on your way out?" Calum said and I rolled my eyes and closed the door aggressively.
Cool, my new neighbor is a jerk who will probably be playing his loud music until the late hours of the night. This will be interesting...
