IMAGINE:

Living in a subdivision
Where you are living your life in
a daily routine, finding yourself to be bored and feel lifeless.
Not until your neighbor, Mrs. Peg Boggs
brought a visitor in her home.

(The subdivision in the movie of Edward Scissorhands)

Featured Song:
The New Kid in Town
By Eagles

I think this song is kinda cute,
'cause a boy named Johnny
was mentioned in it.
But I chose his character Edward
to be the protagonist.

This chapter is a song fiction,
lyrics will be included.
You can listen to the song, while reading.

There's talk on the street
It sounds so familiar

You woke up hearing noises outside your window. Rising up from your bed, you pull away the draperies, and saw women chattering in front of the Boggs residence, Mr. Bill Boggs and Mrs. Peg Boggs- your married couple neighbors who doesn't have any children of their own.

You knew women in this subdivision are gossipers, except for Mrs. Peg because she is a nice woman and she's rarely noticed by the neighborhood.

But the fact that they are now standing outside, waiting for Mrs. Peg to come out is a big question for you. So you went to the kitchen and found your mom cooking breakfast.

Great expectations,
everybody's watching you

"Mom? What was that all about?" You sat on your usual spot in the dining table.

"What? What about?" your mom knitted her eyebrows, while cutting vegetables on the table.

"Our neighbors in front of Mrs. Peg's home?"

"Oh that. Joyce called me that Peg has brought a visitor in her home this morning. I wonder who might that be," Your mom said, still busy cutting the vegetables. She even wiped the sweat in her forehead, but you just shrugged.

"Okay." You stood up, and headed to the bathroom. "I'm going to take a bath."

"Oh honey," she called you. "Joyce also said that they're gonna throw a welcoming party for the new visitor. Wanna come with me at five PM?" you heard her voice inside the kitchen.

You took off your clothes and opened the shower. "Yeah mom, whatever." you replied.

People you meet
They all seem to know you

Everyone in the neighborhood was there. The welcoming party was located at the Boggs' residence, behind their house. Where there is a wide space for everybody to join in. You saw your mom talking with the your other neighbors, wondering if they are gossiping again.

You stood there for five minutes, but you can't see the new visitor. You started to feel impatient and out of place, but someone patted your shoulder from behind.
