Extrovert & Introvert (Natepat)

Chapter 1

(Mat's POV)

I was on my porch hanging out with some friends when we noticed a car and a moving van pull up to the house across from mine. We watched and saw a boy about our age get out of the car then get a suitcase and a guitar case out of the back of the car. He went up to the house and unlocked that door and went straight in side. We saw him appear in a window at the front of the house on the second floor. I had seen a moving van appearing every other weekend for the past couple of weeks, so I knew that someone would've been moving in. I realized my parents were standing behind my friends and I so we moved out of their way. My parents went over to the adults across the street. My friends and I went over and we introduced ourselves. The parents seemed really nice. I felt like I was being watched and looked up and saw the boy looking at us. He had glasses, his eyes were a chocolate brown, and his hair looked almost black. He then disappeared from the window. I looked back at the adults and decided to ask about him.

"Who's the boy who came with you?" I asked.

"Oh, that's our sun Nate. You can meet him if you'd like." said the woman. My friends and I said sure after my parents said that it would be fine. The woman took us to where there were sounds of music coming from and knocked on the door gently. "Nate, it's me. I want you to meet some kids that will be going to your school." the woman said, the sound of the music stopped and it was silent for a bit before someone spoke up.

"Just give me a sec." said a muffled voice inside. I heard some shuffling then the door opened slightly. He looked at us then let us in. We walked in and he smiled awkwardly, he glanced at the woman and she walked away. As soon as she left he went to the bed and started to put a guitar - which I'm guessing that's where the music was coming from - away. Once the guitar was away he turned and looked at us. "You can sit anywhere there's space.." he said quietly. I smiled and sat on the floor where I was standing. "Oh, I'm Mat by the way. This is Steph and Jason." I said. "I'm Nate." he said quietly again. He sat down on the bed and looked at the floor while biting his lip.

"Hey kids, your parents want you home now." said a deep male voice. I saw Nate look up quickly at the man and I saw terror fill his eyes, the I looked at the man as well.

"Ok." was all I said before Steph, Jason, and I got up and started walking out of the room. Nate looked at us as if he was silent bleeding us not to go, but we did anyway. I felt bad, but I was also curious to why he didn't want us to leave even though he wasn't talking to us. As soon as we left the house we saw the curtness to Nate's room closed quickly, then we heard banging. We went inside my house and our parents looked at us worriedly.

"What's wrong?" I asked them.

"Did either of the adults get close to you?" My mom asked.

"No..but when we left Nate's curtains closed and we heard banging sounds.." Steph said. When she said that my parents glanced at each other then looked back at us even more worried before.

"We don't want you kids going anywhere near the two grown ups." My dad said strictly. The way my dad said that made me start to freak out a bit.

"What's going on? What aren't you telling us." I said a little panicky.

"They just came off as a little strange as soon as the woman came back from leading you to their son's room. But it's nothing to worry about. We just don't want you guys near the adults." my dad said. "Now go hang out in your room please. I need to talk to your mother." I nodded and we all went to my room.

We hung out in my room for a bit before I looked out my window and saw Nate running out of the house. The father and mother just watching him run, they looked as if they didn't care at all.
