So sorry for lateness! Agh, so sorry.

Chapter TWO

 

Place: New Jersey

 

Time: that’s irrelevant

 

Jerome’s POV

 

I glance at the moving truck outside the house next door. They just got here about thirty minutes ago. They’ve moved the new guy’s stuff into his house fairly quickly. Now I’m just waiting for the moving dudes to leave so I can head next door and try to be neighborly for once.

 

But I am not in a neighborly mood.

 

Eh, we’ll see how it goes.

 

The truck pulls away and I unlock my door and head over to the new guy’s house. He’s right next door to me. I knock loudly on his front door.

 

A boy with dark brown hair and brown eyes answers the door. He scans over me, blinks a few times, scans me again. “Uh, hi?” I say cautiously, wondering if the new neighbor kid is a total psycho.

 

“You… You’re… YOU’RE JEROMEASF!” he screams. Then he turns around and yells to the house, “MITCH! MITCH, WE LIVE NEXT DOOR TO THE JEROME ACETI!”

 

“Mitch” walks calmly to the door. “Connor, no opening up doors to random strangers,” he scolds the boy.

 

Connor stares at him with wide eyes. “Mitch. This is Jerome Aceti. Jerome Aceti is not a random stranger, he’s Jerome Aceti.”

 

“Hi. I’m Jerome,” I say nervously, even though the boy has announced it several times. There’s an overly hyper fan living next door to me. I’M SCARED.

 

The boy jumps up and down happily. “YOU ARE AT OUR DOORSTEP. YOU TOUCHED OUR DOOR! YES!”

 

I raise an eyebrow. “You sound like an obsessed fangirl.”

 

“Sometimes I wonder about his sexuality. I mean, honestly, Connor..,” Mitch says, trailing off as he waits for a response.

 

“Hey! Don’t be mean, Mitch!” Connor complains. “Or I’ll tell Marley!”

 

Mitch shrugs. “Bye, Jerome. Gotta unpack.”

 

He leaves, and I wave to his brother before doing the same. Well. Mitch isn’t crazy, but he’s the slightest bit rude…

 

Still. I could use a friend. I’m starting a new school soon, because my old one sucked for many reasons. I’m pretty sure Mitch and Connor are going to the same school as me, now… (Don’t you dare ask how I know this.)
