I lie on my makeshift bed for the night, which consisted of a comforter blanket thing and a pillow. We barely just moved into our new house in Jersey.

Tossing and turning as I struggle to sleep on the floor and missing my friends. I finally decide to just sit up against the wall and pull an all nighter or something.

I feel a cool breeze come in and realize my window has been open the whole night. I jump up and try finding the window in the dark to shut it. As grab the edge to shut it I catch a glimpse of what looks like a cute guy and feel myself staring for a second.

"Thought you was slick there, girl?" the boy chuckles as I snap out of it and start to shut the window.

"Well you aren't in the clear either, are you? You had to be looking to see me." I reply with my normal unharmful sass.

"I only saw you because I thought I saw a creepy shadow aka you." He laughs playfully like we were cool.

"Why are you even up at 1 a.m.?" I question snarkily examining him more and better with this new found opportunity.

"It's a weekend, I sleep at like 2 normally, and I'd ask the same to you." he replies with the same tone of snark.

"I'm literally trying to sleep on a comforter that is on top of hardwood floor." I state annoyed that we couldn't bring our beds.

"Right y'all just moved in, you from Miami or some?" The boy asks which catches me off games because of how much he knows. 

"Who are you talking to?" I hear a mother or someone question loudly to the neighbor boy  faintly.

Rolling his eyes he responds with, "I'm talking to the new neighbor girl through the window."

"You said that last time but you actually snuck a girl in." I hear the other person reply causing me to laugh out loud.

"I'm Alejandro by the way, you'll see more of me tomorrow." Alejandro winks before closing his window and locking it behind him.

I like that boy, he's charming and lowkey mysterious. But I ain't got no time to be catching feelings these days.

I turn around a little surprised to see my step brother Jeremiah watching me like he was here the whole time.

"You better not be getting any thoughts because that shit would end up awkward." Jeremiah teases me with a chuckle.

I grab my pillow off the floor and throw it at him, shooing him out of my room.

"Go to sleep before I make you." I joke devilishly causing him to roll his eyes and walk away, as he is walking he trips over nothing and we both laugh.

"You saw nothing." he states which causes us to crack up more.

We listen as Semaj's door cracks open and him half asleep threatening us with a, "I swear If y'all don't shut the fuck up and let me sleep." He doesn't finish the threat before shutting his door and going back to bed.

"We ain't even that loud lil boy, but we'll give you something loud." I threaten back jokingly.

"We should just go to bed before he socks us in the throat." Jeremiah chuckles playfully.

"Fine, night fatass." I crack, hugging him before heading to our separate rooms that are across the hall from each other.

"Night bully." Jeremiah teases back as he heads through his bedroom door. Rolling my eyes, I copy as he does walking back into my room.

Thinking to myself I whisper, "This will be a long, sore weekend," finally drift into my deserved sleep. Which probably won't last that long.
