The Boy Next Door

My parents attempted to give me a tight hug, but I put my hands up and said " You guys almost suffocated me a mere 10 minutes ago, no thanks." I chuckled.

"Anyways" I asked, " When do I move in next door to the Burley's?"

There was an awkward silence and again my parents looked worried.

"What is it with you guys and not speaking? When am I moving in?" I repeated my question.

"Sweetie, your not moving in with the Burley's." My mom resolved.

Wait? Who else is my neighbor then? The Burley's live to the right of me, an old lady named Mrs. Harper lives across the street...

Oh.

Oh, no no no.

The house that's to the left of me, their driveway is practically a road in itself, and that's where the most popular boy in my school resides, Tristan Matthews.

"You guys wouldn't.." I gave them a horrified glance as we all realized we were on the same page here.

"Mel.." My dad trailed off.

I, Melanie Carter, would be spending my summer at the Matthews house.

Oh, fu*k me.

When Melanie Carter finds out that her parents are going on a second "honeymoon" to tour the world over the whole summer, she doesn't realize that means staying with the school's egotistical, divine, and frankly, very annoying, Tristan Matthews.

Will she survive the summer? Or will he drive her crazy first?

I guess we'll just have to see.
