The Bad Boy calls me Sunshine

The Neighbor

I awoke with a start, to find me laying on his shoulder while he laid upon my head. I guess I was short enough to fit perfectly there. I shook him gently, and his eyes flashed open, and for a second, I was scared. The look in his eyes were...intimidatingly dangerous. He cracked a smile, however.

"Mornin', sunshine." He yawned, stretching.

"Yo." I looked out the window. "I think we're almost there. We're getting closer and closer to the ground."

Almost as if it were on cue, the captain said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are now approaching our destination. Please stay seated until we tell you to."

I nod, as if he could see me. Aristotle laid back into his seat.

"What brings you to Chicago?" He asked suddenly.

"Well...what brings you to Chicago?" I asked back, smirking.

"I asked the question first, sunshine."

"I asked second."

He sighed, looking at me in the eyes. "You're difficult, but since you won't let me be gentlemanly, I'll go first. I live here. I went to..." He seemed to be searching for an answer.

"...visit my...grandmother. She's well." He added.

"Cool, my mom and I are moving here. They got divorced and stuff went on." I laid back in my seat as well.

"I see..." He said. "I never had parents."

"Oh."

"Yeah..."

There was a comfortable silence until the plane reached our destination. We all got our things and walked out. I looked around for my mom.

I suddenly saw a woman with light brown hair, and I ran towards her.

"Mom!" I shouted. She turned around.

"Evelyn! I was looking for you!" She exclaimed.

Tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear, I smiled. "Yeah, me too. Where do we go now?"

"I already have our luggage, since you took so long to get out."

"Oh."

"Let's grab a taxi."

"Alrigh-"

"Sunshine!" I turned the to most familiar voice, saying the only nickname I've ever been given, really.

"Ari-Aristotle?" I blinked with confusion. His chest was heaving from his running.

"You...you forgot this." He gave me the glasses I kept tucked into my shirt pocket. I guess it fell out someway or another.

"Thank you..." I smiled at him awkwardly.

"It's fine. It's just too bad we'll never see each other ever again sunshine. Farewell." With that, he left.

My mom was eyeing me suspiciously. "Sunshine?" She raised an eyebrow, smirking. I rolled my eyes and went into the car.

Arriving at my house, I realized how awkward a new house would be. The houses were tightly placed next to each other. Heck, I didn't think two people standing side to side could fit in between them.

Gripping my suitcases, I took a deep breath and walked in.

The inside was nice, I guess. It was much smaller than the house that we used to have. It was needed, since dad made much more money than mom did.

"How many rooms are there? Which one is mine?" I asked my mom.

"There are three rooms. You can have the one to the right." She replied.

I walked upstairs and looked at the room to the right. It was in front of the bathroom. Convenient.

Walking into the room, I smiled, thinking that it would be the perfect room for me.

Oh how was I wrong.

I put my luggage down and started to put my clothes into the closets that were already put up until I heard a grunt and laughing near the window. I looked out of it and saw a window directly in front of mine, and four half naked guys laughed as they walked out of the room.

But what I was focusing on, was not that.

There was a large plate of pizza rolls piled up on the table.

I need it.

You're probably thinking, Evelyn, you are crazy if you're about to do what I think you're about to do. Yes I am.

I reached over to the half open window, and pushed it up higher, so I could fit in it. Part one of the mission, complete.

I got in the room, and smiled as I smelled the aroma of the pizza rolls. Almost as if it was on cue, my stomach rumbled loudly.

I picked up the plate and began to quickly crawl out the window, when I felt myself being violently grabbed from my waist, and thrown onto a bed. I closed my eyes and winced.

"Well well, sunshine...I would've never imagined for you to be here."
