Neighbors

B A C K G R O U N D

this is the background and a little bit of the first part. enjoy!

hey so a little about me!

my name is Avery Brooke. my dads name is mark Brooke , my mom is kendal harper.

she didn't take my dads last name because of her 'trust issues'....well anyways that's my family for now.

i live in California! in my old school everyone had a crush on me but i didn't care, i didn't need a boy i needed to be successful in school. my parents don't talk much often only at dinner, which start agreements. 

my parents relationship was pretty toxic, we are rich-ish but our family doesn't speak to eachother. my mom usually reads and cleans the house while my dad works at 'dela vula' that is a fancy restaurant that you dad owns. free food though.

although i spend a lot of time studying i also play Xbox and love to read horror books, and watch horror movies.

it all started the day i came home from school....

~flash back~

"see ya harper!"  i waved at my best friend harper. as i'm walking home i see a 'haul' in front of my house taking my shit. i ran inside and looked for my mom who was sitting down packing. "mom, what are y'all doing" i asked worriedly. "i'm sorry hun, you dad a job in California so we have to move...go pack your things we leave tomorrow morning" she said and sighed.

i know my mom didn't like to move from her childhood state, i will have no family over there except them and my dog 'dog' very creative name for a dog...i know!

anyways i slammed my door and started packing and crying while calling my bestie harper and telling her...she seemed fine about ! i know she had more best friends other than me , 

harper is that one girl who has a lot of friends and doesn't care if you leave them...she was the only friend i had that was true and didn't use me for my body or my looks.

~end of flashback~

pulling up to my new house and it was gorgeous, honestly!

i got my own bathroom that is connected into my room! my parents shared but i know my mom sleeps on the bed while my dad sleep on a his hug chair! literally that chair is huge!

but anyways i we pulled up i got out and started to unpack. "hurry up and come back" my dad called out, i nodded and put my shit away. i helped them until a older man and a young dude, my age! came out. "oh hello you must be the Brookes" the older man asked, probably about in his 40's. "yes we are" my mother said. 

i had a couple of things in my hand that were about to fall so i struggled a little. "oh here lemme help you" the younger boy said grabbing some stuff. "thanks, here lemme show you were to put them" i said smiling. 

he placed the objects down and said "hi, i'm Alex ryder" he said. "oh i'm Avery Brooke" i said smiling. he was about  5,4 pretty tall if you asked me, because i'm 5,1 pretty short.

"well better get going" i said. "y-ya" he said following outside.

after the 'Ryders' helped us unpack they invited us for dinner, of course my parents accepted. not that i had a problem with it, i was just tired.

we wen t inside and started to get ready for tonight.

gosh i couldn't find anything....you see i'm not the girly girl who has shot loads of dresses and heals, all i have are sweatpants and cute baggy shirt.... "that will work" i muttered and wore black sweatpants and a emerald baggy shirt. "i'm done" i yelled across the hall.

i walked outside to see my parents all dressed up. "oh dear god Avery, you will not wear that!" my father said disgusted. "yes i am!" i hissed. "darling please go change" my mom said . "no! i'm not changing i feel comfy in these!" i said. they sighed and both knew i wasn't gonna change.

we walked over to them and the older Ryder named 'tom' greeted us.

"please excuse our daughters clothing" my mother said politely. "oh no problem, my son always dresses like that" he said.

i like him.

"see, i'm the only one who likes comfy clothes" i mumbled to my dad.he rolled his eyes and they sat with tom, where is Alex?

Alex came out and said.

"dad what's goi-" he said but stopped when he saw us. "oh hello, i didn't know there are coming" he said smiling. "oh son gosh change there having dinner her" tom said. he nodded and came back with white sweatpants and a baggy black shirt.

"done" he said . "told ya" tom said maki g us giggle/chuckle.

"anyways food will be done in 1 hour, go play on y'all's xbox or something " tom said. "you have a xbox!" i whispered yelled to Alex as we walked into his room. "yup, wanna play. he asked handing me a controller. "hell ya" i said and started playing, beating him in every game.

after 45 minutes he gave up. "ha, loser" i said sticking my tongue out. "whatever, i let you win!" he said. i rolled my eyes and we watched tv until diner was done.

after dinner we said goodbye and as i hugged Alex goodbye he whispered. "your pretty cool ave, maybe we could hangout soon" he said and i nodded. "alright Alex, stop flirting and go shower" his dad said making him blush. we walked inside our house and i unpacked everything else and them showered . i read my book for 10 minutes and fell asleep!
