I sit on my soft bed humming to photograph while flipping through my favorite bop magazine. Usually I could careless about what celebrities were doing but I wanted to get my mind off things. My phone vibrates and I couldn't be happier when I see its Lucas.
"Hey Lou"
"Hey what's up babe how are you"
"Good I guess" I say with a sigh flipping another page of the magazine.

"You dont sound good"
"Come on, tell me what's wrong cupcake" he says through the phone.
"Well we got new neighbours"
"Oh god" he says and I picture him putting his face in his hands the way he does when faced with a problem.

"Yeah and I know I can be paranoid but I really think somethings wrong with this one.
"I mean he just moved in but he's just so weird" I continue.

"If you need me call me okay, you know I worry about you" Lucas says his voice filled with concern.

"I know" I say simply
"Ill talk to you later then, okay cupcake" he asks
"Yeah" I halfheartedly reply
"Don't think I forgot about tomorrow im still picking you up" he says befor finally hanging up.

I run my fingers through my thin hair deciding to go for my daily jog since I was becoming extremely bored. I throw on my pink and blue sneakers after slipping on my running tights.

"Mom!" "Dad!"
"Im going jogging be back before dinner!" I shout grabbing my keys and shutting the door.

The breeze outside is nice and my hair flows wildly behind me. I start jogging listening to the sound of my feet hitting the pavement one by one. The sun is setting causing the sky to look like the pages of a child's coloring book.

I make it to the dog park and take my break sipping my room temperature water. People in orange vest are scattered around the field with trash bags picking up the loads of dog poo littered on the grass. Women with their toddlers in strollers walk around the perimeter watching as other kids run and scream at one another.

For the first time I notice a little shop just by the new dance studio at the corner of Lidlow street. I walk closer towards it seeing its and ice cream place.

To be quite honest I sped up a little when I saw it was ice cream because im literally in love with it. I open the door and two gold bells above my head ring. Two long clear show case windows make an L shape and the rest of the shop is filled with tables and chairs.

I walk over to the window.
"Hi how may I help you?" A teenage girl with strawberry red hair asks me

"Ummm I'd like chocolate and cookies in cream with sprinkles in a cup please" I say

The girl whos name tag read Bell went and scooped out the ice cream into a white and pink paper then handed. It to me with a spoon and napkin.

I take a seat by the huge glass window that looks straight at the dog park and start licking the sprinkles off ny ice cream.

I guess I got so dazed in licking my ice cream I hadn't noticed it had started to rain. In fact it was pouring, i check my phone which reads 5:45. I thought about it for a second and figured I might just have to wait for the rain to stop.

I waited and waited and waited. The rain was relentless and one hour had already passed. I groan loudly grabbing my phone of the table and walking out.

Before I even make it to the corner im drenched in water, my hair sticking to neck and shoulders.

Im crossing the street when a car beeps loudly then drives next to me causing water that had puddles up to splash all over me. I stand there shocked, cold and wet with my mouth wide open. I mean I've only ever this happen in movies never did I think it would happen to me.

The car stops and backs up so that it is now directly in front of me. When the driver rolls down the window I jump back in fright. Its my neighbor.

"Hey sorry about that" " Want a ride your pretty soaked" he says casually

I stare at him with my best angry face but I assume it doesn't phase him because he chuckles then starts his car "suit yourself blondie" he says putting much emphasis on the word blondie as if he knew it was my nickname for Lucy.

"Fine" I shout when I realize he's about to pull off. He smiles then unlocks the car allowing me to get in.
