_____________________________________________________

Riley's POV

I lay on the beach chair my mother bought from Florida, my only vacation, and read the famous book 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' You probably heard of it. So far I am on chapter two. I got it yesterday and hadn't had much time to read it. Just then my mom came out of the house telling me something I didn't want to hear...

"Honey, the Docksons are movin' in that house beside us. Remember? The Layerns lived there three years ago and it hasn't been bought yet. They will move in tomorrow. " She explained and I didn't like it. I was the only kid in the nieghborhood and surprisingly I loved it. I guess I like old people, I don't know. I heard that there kid is my age, and another rumor from my school is that she is very very happy. All. The. Time. She used to go to the city school, Wickens Middle School. I go to Valley Oak Middle School. She will have a hard time at my school, 'cause Wickens is horrible at football and Valley Oak beats their butts. Go Valley Oak!! Sorry off topic, anyway I am so not going to like this...

"Yes mom, I know.." I really didn't know but I wanted her to leave me alone. She kept talking about how nice it would be to make some cookies for them but I just ignored her and read my book all of a sudden she is yelling at me like a moron.

"Yeah?" I asked trying to sound polite and not in a bad mood. Wait, I am always in a bad mood. Some people say I 'bring them down' when they are near me. Well, honey I am always brought down. My mom glared at me as if I had a bad tone. I think it is just my voice though. Hey, that is a good excuse!

"You are going to cook cookies with me." She said as if she were excited. I am anything but excited. I am mad, depressed, angry, sad, nervous. All the bad stuff pretty much... I know I will not, on my dead freaking body, that I will make cookies with a woman who calls her husband pudgy. Weird right? I know, just be glad you don't have to live with it all the time... It gets very tiring.

"No!" I practically yelled while she screamed at me to get my a double s in the house. She only cusses when she is really p-oed.... Great, now she will be in a bad mood like me the rest of the day... I groan and walk in the house dragging my feet along with me knowing cooking cookies won't be a good thing at all.

"So what cookies do you think they will like?" She asked very curiously. I don't know ask them maybe!? I wanted to go to the yard and sit on the beach chair again while reading my book but I know I can't. It is like I am locked in a jail cell or something. "You know what? I love choco chip so that is what I am making." She said. As if I care. Seriously why would I!?

"Sure!" I said to perky then I got sent to my room. Wooow badd punishment mom! (Note the sarcasm.) I loved this sleeping in my room while she does all the work. Now this is relaxing, until my mom came up to my room and told me to take out the trash. What!? "Why!?" She rolled her eyes and stuffed the bag into my arms and I walked out of the room towards the end of the road and waited for the garbage truck to come. Tick Tock. Ok mom I don't think it is trash day! Whatever that is... Anyway it was 15 minutes before they got there and oh, boy was I mad! Yeah your right I was very mad! It was sooo cold out there with only a spaggetti strap on... "Mom!" I yelled as soon as I walked into the cookie smelling kitchen. It did smell good. I didn't know my mom could actually bake this good!

"What?" She asked innoccently. I put my hands on my hips and she just waited for an answer. I am sure I look like a brat.

"You sent me out there with this on!" I pointed towards my outfit and she just shrugged her shoulders. What was that!? Oh my gosh I am so mad right now! Ya see, sometimes if we are late taking out the trash we just wait for the garbage truck but I shouldn't have..

"It's okay..." She said giggling a little. I grunted and stomped upstairs and slammed my wooden door painted in white. I sat on my so very fluffy bed and thought about how terrible my mom was. *At least you have a mom...* My inner voice said. Crap, now I have an inner voice...

*Shutup!*

*Make me!*

*Oh I will make you alright...*

*Try me..*

I ignored my annoying inner voice and went to sleep and I woke up at a time I didn't like so much....

///4:00 in the morning///

Ok so there is nothing on t.v. I tried every piece of food in the kitchen. I can't go to sleep. Nobody else is up. The computer is dead. Make that everything if dead except me. I am going crazy! If I can't go to sleep I go crazy, or I feel like I will anyway. I looked outside, pitch black. Niiiice.. (Note the sarcasm.) It sucks doesn't it? Raise your hand if you agree...... Wow a lot of people raised their hands! Yay! I am just joking... Anyway those Docksons are comin at 6:00 'cause they like getting places early. Nerds... (A/N No offense if you are like that! (: ) So, I watched a rerun of... wait for it.... Barney... Lame right... YuP... I am so lame and kiddish... So I got my ipod and turned on "Teach me how to dougie." (A/N I am listening to that right now, wait it just went off. Aww!!) Awesome song right? Anyway I think I fell asleep like right after.. Wow music makes me go to sleep weirdd.... But cool. I guess. Idk don't listen to me.. Just then I woke up from some idiot coming down the stairs..

"Riley? Why are you up?" It was my dad, he walked slowly down the stairs. So, it was him.. Simple answer I was trying to go to sleep, I finally did, then you wake me up!!! But I am not mean to my dad. so I said this...

"Sleepin, before you came.." Not to bad right... I hope not, he feeld guilty easily. He got him a coke and sat down beside me on the couch.

"Sorry, did I wake you?" He asked. Stupid question but yes he did.

"Yeah, but it is cool.." I said and layed my head on his lap, he had plaid red pajamas and a grey t-shirt on. Plus the messy hair if you count that. He smiled and played with my hair, after that I went to sleep and I felt him slowly lift my head off of him, get up, put a blanket on my fragile body, grab his can of coke, and walk up the stairs. He was a good dad a very good one. I loved him ssoooo much.. Then I fell asleep, well deeper into my sleep and 30 minutes later I hear a truck backing up from outside. I get up and groan then look out the dang window. They're here... I thought maybe my mom was kiddin' but she wasn't. The truck was a movin' van and it beeped while backing up and everything. Then out of a car is this girl, light brown long hair in a ponytail, pale skin, very skinny. She walked to the house and followed by her mother. Her mom had short red hair that flipped up at the ends. Then her dad, he had grayish blackish hair mix and then the boy. Wow he was hot! He had dark black hair like his father exceot minus all the grey hairs, but he was cute. They were all paleand they all wore black. Weird, like really weird.... What the heck is this gothic town!?
