I woke up from a long night only to have the stupid sun shining on me.

"Shine somewhere else why dontcha!" I say looking out the window.

I get up, brush my teeth,shower and get dressed. I exit my room and make my way into the kitchen.

"Hey mom" I say picking up a piece of toast off the plate on the table.

"Mornin honey, can you get the mail for us?" She asks her back towards me, while doing the dishes

I nod, though I doubt she even saw me. I open my door and breath in the smell of blossoming flowers and good old nature. I wave to alot of my neighbors who happen to be passing by. I open the mail box.

"Finally" I whisper to myself, looking at the letter in hand and smiling.

I get this weird feeling, sort of like someone was watching me. I turn around only to see this boy, he must be new because he was moving into the new house that was built not too long ago across the street from me. He must have noticed me looking at him weirdly so he smiled. Ahh what the heck. I smiled back, then entered my house.

"Anything for me honey?" My mom asks drying the dishes

"Uh..just some bills" I say putting the letter I had recieve into my backpocket.

She nods her head as I place the letters on the table and head upstairs to my room. Picking up the phone thats lying on my bed I call Kassandra, Or as I like to call her Kassi.

"Hey" I say before she replies
"Hey Liz, whatsup"
"Nothing, kind of bored here. Let's hang out" I say playing the edge of my bed sheets.

"Sure, how about..." Silence takes over the phone, meaning she was thinking. "Hmm let's go shopping!"

I grunt "Kassi you know I hate shopping, it's so useless!"

"How can a girl not like shopping, that's like so.."

"Like me?" I finish her sentence.
"Bingo" She says making me laugh. "Come on Liz, we start school in less than 5 days, atleast help me pick out a few things."

I sigh heavily "Fine, whatever. I'll be there in 5 minutes"

I hang up the phone and make my way downstairs, I grab my house keys, stuff them in my pocket and head out. I look across the street to see the same boy carrying some heavy box.

"Shit!" I hear him curse loud enough for me to hear when he dropped the heavy load on his foot, causing half the things inside to fall. He bends down to pick it up, so I decide to help.

"You okay?" I ask picking up a couple of notebooks that were laying on the sidewalk.

He looks up at me and we make eye contact. "Yeah thanks, I'm just..clumsy I guess"

I laugh "Join my club, Im probably the clumsiest person alive"

"I think I can top you" He smirks.
"Doubt it, I even trip over imaginery items.. I know embarassing" I laugh putting the last item in the box.

He laughs lightly, causing my stomach to turn a bit. Wow he has a cute laugh.

"I hate tripping over imaginery things, it's like 'who put them there?'" he said smiling

I laugh "I know right?" I end with a smile.

-Cue Awkward silence here-
"Well.." I say rocking back and forth on my feet "It was nice meeting you, I got to go"

He nods "K' see you around, and thanks for the help"he said picking up the heavy box

"No problem, that's what neighbors are for"I say before walking off to Kassi's house.

I see her walk away until I can't see her anymore. Wow, she's even more cute up close. I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy being here.

"Joe! You're sharing a room with Frankie dude!" I hear my older brother Kevin yell.

"What?!" I scream causing my voice to echo through the empty house "No no no!" I say running up the stairs.

"What took you so long?" Kassi asks as we start walking down the street

"Was helping out a new neighbor" I simply say

"Oh...was he a boy?" She smiles at me
causing me to roll my eyes. I just nod.
"Was he cute?"

I raise an eyebrow at her"Why?"

"Well, I mean if he's cute, maybe I can arrange something and you know?" She winks at me.

"No thanks, Im not interested in anybody, you know that."

"Liz, come on you're a teenage girl. Your amazing, give someone a chance. Maybe you can be truly happy with someone"

"Kassi, you know I dont like to rush things, besides he looks like a pretty boy. He's probably better for you" I say.

"Oh really? Hmmm, I need to check this out for myself"

I laugh "Remember take things slow" I advise her.

"Yeah yeah" She says obviously not listening.

As Kassi looks around the store one picture plays in my mind. The new neighbor who's name I still dont know, his gorgeous smile, shaggy hair covering his eyes..wow. I snap out of it. Why am I even thinking about him? He's too cute to possibly be interested. He's more of Kassi's type anyways.
