POV: You were in the car for 7 hours and you finally make it to LA to your new house.

Sophia's thoughts: We made it... A 7 hours drive and we finally made it to LA. This place doesn't even compare to where I used to live. It's... Different. A good different though. Time to get out...
——————————————————

I got out of the car to take a look at our new house. It was kinda nice. Bigger than the other yet there were only two of us now. Oh well. I began to walk toward the front door when I hear someone yelling "HEY" from next door. I look to my left to see a guy. I yelled back "Hey!". I was a little carsick so I didn't say much. He came running over and stopped right in front of me and bent down panting as if his metabolism was really bad.
"A, are you okay?" I asked. "Yeah, I'm good." He replied laughing. Having caught his breath, he put out his hand for a handshake and said "I'm Zach. I guess I'm your new neighbor if you're the one moving in here. Nice to meet you!"
"Sophia. Nice to meet you as well. Glad you finally caught your breath!" I said laughing and accepting his handshake. "What brings you here?"
Zach: "Oh I just wanted to introduce myself, considering I'm your new neighbor and all ya know? Just being friendly. Is there anything I can help with?"
Sophia: "Oh okay. Well thank you for being so kind. If you would like to help me, my mother and I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much for asking". I replied while sighing from relief.

We walk over to the truck where my mom was beginning to unpack our truck.
Sophia: "Hey Mom, this is Zach. He's our new neighbor and has volunteered to help us unpack our things. I hope you don't mind me accepting. "
Mom: "Oh hi Zach. I'm Diana, Sophia's mom. Thank you so much for helping."
Zach: "No problem at all. If you need anyone else let me know. I live in a house with 4 other guys."
Mom: "Oh!! That's a lot of guys in one house. But any help we can get will be greatly appreciated."
Zach: Alright I'll call 'em up real fast. Excuse me"

Zach steps away to call his roommates.

Sophia's thoughts: Oh my goodness... I think something is wrong with me... Why do I keep looking at him? Maybe it's because he's so... Cute. He's cute. Okay... Well I'm not interested. Ugh c'mon Sophia pull yourself together. Ok... He's coming back...

Zach's thoughts: Wow. I knew I would end up helping but I didn't know I would be helping a cute girl. I'm gonna call the boys so that they can come help and meet her.
*In the call:*
Zach: "Hey guys."
The Boys: "Hey! What's up? Where'd you go you ran off?!"
Zach: "Sorry, I'm in the process of helping our neighbors move in. Besides, we shouldn't be wasting time being couch potatoes. Also, the teen is cute.. come if you wanna meet her."
*Hangs up*

5 minutes later, 4 more guys come running excitedly out of the house next door...

Sophia: "Wow..." I say to Zach, who's standing right next to me. "They're excited. What did you tell them?"
Zach: "I told them that we have an opportunity to do something besides sit on the couch and watch TV. I may have told them something else but that's between me and the boys..."
Sophia: "Okay? Well let's head over to the truck. There's a lot of stuff to unpack and I watch the sunsets every day so at sunset I quit working." *giggles*
Zach: "Okay. The sunsets here are really pretty depending on here you sit. You can come up on the roof of my house with me and maybe the boys later if you wanna have a better view."
*Zach begins to blush*
Sophia: "Okay! That sounds like a plan."
*Sophia also begins to blush and look away to hide it*
My hair was now covering that up. But what he did got me blushing even more...
