It was Saturday morning and you woke up by a loud noise that came from outside. You stayed in your bed and hoped that the noise will stop, but unfortunately that wasn't the case.
You got up and went to your window to see a large moving truck. Two men were carrying a couch in the empty house next door. The house was empty for one year and now apparently someone has bought it and moved in. You went downstairs and saw your mother in the kitchen, in the process to bake a cake. She notices you and smiled.
“Good morning Sweety, why are you awake?”
She looked back to her cake that she was making.
“I can't sleep because the neighbors are a bit noisy outside.”
You sat down at the kitchen table and watched your mother.
“Why do you actually bake so early in the morning?”
You saw her smile a little.
“I wanted to bake a cake for the new neighbors as a welcome gift.”
You nodded briefly before she continued.
“When I go over you can come along to welcome them. Then you get to know the family.”
Family? You hoped the neighbors don't have small children who cry all the time. You had nothing against small children, but you must say that kids are really annoying when they cry and scream all the time.
“I can do that.”
You got up and went to the living room window, where you continued to watch the move. A woman carried a box into the house and you have to say that she looked really friendly.
You went upstairs into the bathroom to brush your teeth and wash your face. After you're done in the bathroom, you went to your room and tried to find something you can wear. You took out a white top, a black and red flannel shirt and leggings. Finally, you put on a bit make-up and put your hair into a messy bun. You looked in the mirror before you took your phone to read your messages. Nothing special. Your friends were still sleeping.
You went to your window to see the move again. This time you saw the woman again with a box and a man with a cardboard box in his hands. This is definitely her husband. Do they have children or do they live alone? You know that you will get your answer quickly, as your mother calls you that she wanted to go to the neighbors. You went down and saw her ready with the cake in her hands standing in front of the door.
“Remember to be nice and polite to them. Always smile, we want to make a good and friendly impression.”
She smiled at you again before she went out and you went after her. You must say that you were a bit nervous, you didn't know why. You didn't saw anyone outside, so you knocked on the door which was opened immediately by the woman you had seen several times before.
“Hello.” The woman looked at you and your mother friendly and stretched her hand out that your mother and you shook.
“Hello, we are your neighbors and we wanted to bring you a small welcome gift. I am (Y/M/N) and this is my daughter (Y/N).”
“I'm Kelly Joseph. Do you want to come in?” She took a step aside so you two could come in. You two went inside and you looked around.
“Do you want something to drink? A coffee perhaps? Would You like to eat a piece of cake?” Mrs. Joseph looked at my mother smiling and she nodded.
Then she looked at you. “Do you want something to drink or eat a piece of cake?” You thought for a moment about it. “I don't want to drink anything, but I would like to have a piece of cake.” You smiled also and she started to made coffee and cut the cake. Your mother and you sat down at the kitchen table that was already set up.
“Where do you come from if I may ask?”
“We're from Ohio, but my husband was transferred from work here. The kids didn't found it so good that we had to move, but you can unfortunately do nothing.” She told us while she filled coffee in your mothers and in her own coffee pot.
“How many children do you have?” “I have four children, three sons named Zack, Tyler and Jay and a daughter named Madison.” She putted everyone a piece of cake on the plate.
“Mom, do you know where my other box is?” You heard a male person who came down the stairs. He was standing in the kitchen door frame and was looking at your mother and you. He looks good you thought to yourself. His brown hair was up slightly and his brown eyes were looking at you for a moment, before he looked to his mother.
“Aren't your boxes on the corridor, Tyler?” She looked at her son. He looked kinda shy but you thought it was cute.
“Ehmm. I go upstairs again and look.” He looked quickly to you before he went upstairs again. “Do you want a piece of cake?” called Mrs. Joseph after him, but he answered with a “no.”
Mrs. Joseph sat down at the table and we started to eat the cake. “That was my son Tyler. He should be the same age as you.” Mrs. Joseph smiled at you before she spoke again. “On Monday starts school again and I think it would be a bit easier for him if he had someone who shows him the school. Would you maybe help him a little in school to get along there?”
She looked slightly worried. You thought she was a mother who took much care of her children.
“I can make it.” She looked relieved.
She was talking with your mother about various things while you just sat silently in the chair and ate your piece of cake. After about two hours, your mother and you went home. The rest of the day and Sunday went fast by and now it was Monday morning.
Your mum called you to come downstairs and eat breakfast with her. You stood up and did what she said and went to the kitchen where your mother sat with her coffee.
“How did you sleep Sweety?”
“Okay, I think.”
You didn't like to talk much when it was so early. You ate your breakfast and went upstairs to get ready for school. After you picked out an outfit and got yourself ready, you went downstairs and left the house with a “Bye Mum!”.
You went to the bus stop and waited for the bus that bring you and other children to school. Five Minutes later you saw that Tyler was coming to the bus station and put his headphones into his ears.
You looked over at him for a few seconds before you looked away. Should I go over and speak with him? What should I say?
A few minutes went by as the bus stopped in front of you. Different children got in the bus and you waited until everyone was inside before you got in. In the bus you looked around where you could sit and saw that Tyler was sitting alone in the back.
C'mon, go over there and talk to him.
You must confess that you're shy around new people but when you get to know them you're more confident.
You went over to where Tyler was sitting and you tapped his shoulder. He took one of his headphones out and looked at you.
“Is the seat taken?” Your voice wasn't that loud but he understood you and took his bag from the seat while he mumbled to himself “No, it's not taken”.
He left his one headphone out and you sat down. Say something (Y/N). C'mon, just do it.
“So, did you found your box?” You looked at him with a small smile.
“Yeah, I actually found it.” He had also a small smile on his lips.
He had a beautiful smile. You caught yourself staring a bit at him and looked fast away.
“So...uhm...I'm Tyler.” He looked at you and hold his hand out to your direction. You smiled and shook his hand.
“I'm (Y/N).” You took your hand away and looked straight ahead. The only thing you heard was Tyler mumbling to himself “beautiful name.”.
The bus stopped in front of the school and you two made your way outside. Together you went to the secretary and got his schedule.
You thought it will be a great day to get to know more about Tyler. And surprise: you two were in the same class.
