After school, the new girl walked up to Amir. "Thanks very much for showing me around the school." She said. "My name is Jasmine."
Amir smiled at her. "I am Amir. Nice to meet you." He wanted to say more, but he started to shake, so he walked off before he could embarrass himself. Usually Amir takes the bus, but all he wanted to do was think about his day, and how amazing it was. He was in love, and he had been happier than he had been in a while. His home was only about 2 miles away, so he had time to recap before he got home. On the walk home, Amir began to imagine his life if Jasmine had been apart of it. Would they make a great couple? Would he be a great husband? He admitted to himself that he shouldn't think far ahead like that, but he was just so excited. As Amir entered his neighborhood, he saw a big U-HAUL truck. He forgot that his neighbors moved out because the whole family got really sick and they thought it was another neighbor who poisoned their food. They called the cops but the cops didn't care so they got fed up and moved. Amir walked past the house, and tried looking inside the window, hoping that his new nextdoor neighbors weren't crazy. The door opened. An Asian man, and a woman looked out. They had darkish skin, and looked very friendly. They came out and walked towards him.
"Why hello! What is your name?" The man said.
"My name is Amir. I live right nextdoor to you."
"That's great! I'm looking forward to being your neighbor!" These people were as friendly as he thought. They said that after this load, they had to head back to a storage unit in the next state and grab the rest of their load, and that they'd be gone for a week.
"Oh that's a lot of stuff." Amir said. "You really feel comfortable leaving all of your belongings alone for a whole week."
"No, they won't be alone." The man said. "Our daughter will be staying here. I trust her to be alone and guard the house." The man turned behind him and shouted something in another language. Just then a voice shouted back. It was a girl, and she sounded familiar but I wasn't sure. In the distance, He heard running. Just then, he knew why she was familiar. It was Jasmine. She looked up, and her eyes opened up wide as she saw him.  Amir's heart stopped. His crush was now his nextdoor neighbor.
"Amir! Hi!" Jasmine said. She ran down the front steps and gave me a hug.
" You know this boy?" The man said.
"Yes I do father. He helped me in school today." The man smiled and thanked me. I talked with Jasmine for a bit, and told her I lived nextdoor. She seemed happy. After a while, I went home, happy and satisfied. I plopped on my bed, and smiled until it hurt
