I woke up suddenly when my dad drove over a small bump on the road. I groaned, rubbing my eyes in the process to try and awake myself.

I asked how long it is going to take until we arrive.

"We are already in Jersey we just gotta get to our town" my dad calmly replied. I nodded and laid my head against the cold window, staring at the amazing scenery. It was truly a beautiful state.

It wasn't long until my Dad had pulled into a driveway and my mom announced "We're here!" I lifted my head from the side of the car and pushed the car door open. Once I stepped out I began to stretch out my body which had been crammed in a car for 8 hours, with only a few stops.

We examined the outside of the house which was very appealing. We decided to wait for our truck and belongings before we go inside.

Not long after a truck pulled up beside our car and a man came out to pull up the back of the closed truck. All of our luggage was stored inside. Without hesitation we all grabbed our stuff eager to see the inside of our new home. We entered with some of the many bags. It was a very nice home and was in great shape. Some rooms or areas were already furnished which was a plus. We checked all of the downstairs area and we were more than pleased.

I yelled "I call an upstairs room."

It wasn't everyday you find a nice, cheap two story home. I was excited and started decorating as soon as possible.

The room was just about done and was filled with my furniture and vintage posters. The walls were white and the floors had wooden tiles.

I had nothing better to do after, so I decided to go for a stroll in order to get to know my surroundings.

This was a small town, but it was cute and seemed as if everyone knew everyone. They also had great shops that I l'd seen.

I was walking around until I saw a baseball field out the corner of my eye. It was hidden by a gate covered with a ripped drape, that had a wide hole which allowed people to enter. I don't think many people noticed it because of how well hidden it was, but I decided to take a peek through. I personally liked the sport of baseball and played it a while back but stopped because my grades began to drop. I popped my head through the hole and turned a corner to see a group of boys playing. They seemed about my age. I got nervous and exited the hole as fast as possible.

I continued my walk with ease and went back to the house when I thought I had seen enough. I strolled inside the house and heard my parents unloading still. I was laying on the bed when I heard awfully loud talking from outside my window. It looked like the boys from the field. They seemed about my age, 15 maybe 16. They were all in the middle of the small road until they split apart going into different houses right next to each other. That must be great, having friends live right next door. I sighed and closed my curtain shut preparing for nightfall. I brushed my teeth, showered, and threw on a pair of pajamas. I hit off my lights and shut my eyes hoping my experience here would go fine.
