Chapter 1

This has been the best school year ever, but I am so happy it's over. My best friend Amanda and I made so many plans for our summer. We plan

on taking a lot of family vacations as we do each year. We also plan on just relaxing and laying out by the pool to catch a little sun.

So, let me give you a little background of my family. I am Anastasia Rose Steele I am 13 years old, I just finished my seventh year in school. I have

an older brother named Aaron he is 17 and a senior in high school. I also have a twin brother named Andrew and a younger sister named Analise

who just turned 10.

Amanda and I of course had to cancel our plans for the Bahamas vacation simple because my dad the contractor made plans for us to help him

remodel the house next door because we're getting new neighbors and they requested my dad's company of course to do the renovations on this

house.

These people will be moving in within the next two weeks so of course we have to move this process along so this house can be ready to move in

when they arrive.

It's totally not fair that my brothers and I are stuck helping while Lise gets to do whatever she wants simply because she's younger than the rest of

us. All that we are doing is a little painting, sweeping, and the basic yard work. And of course my mom is clueless when it comes to my little sister

helping out. I made such a big deal about this issue that my mom agreed to let Lise help her finish the Grey's flower bed. My dad only mentioned

that the Grey's had 3 children whom I hope that one is a girl around my age so I can spend time hanging and getting to know her while Becky is on

vacation. Although we had a few vacations together I truly miss my bestie, and I so wish we could've been together more than we actually were.

August 19th

Steele's meet the Grey's

Two weeks has gone by and my mother and I are outside on this beautiful Seattle day planting flowers in her flower bed while in the midst of our

conversation and all of a sudden we see a moving company puling into the circular drive at the house next door. Pulling up behind this truck was a

black BMW X5 Hybrid, and suddenly the door swings open and everyone is yelling and laughing calling someone name, Elliot. Apparently he farted,

and everyone was grasping for air trying to breath from the horrible smell he left in the car. The young girl noticed my mom and I in the yard and

ran over to introduce herself and Mia Grey. One of the guys ran behind her our meets and we both are at a loss for words. As we are staring at each

other the football comes crashing into the back of my head causing me to fall forward and everyone come running to me to make sure I am ok. I

am

so embarrassed that I got up and ran into the house not looking back to see his reaction. What a way to meet the most handsome boy I have ever

seen. All I can say is that this is going to be a long week in a half until my bestie is back from vacation. My mother being the nurturer that she is

comes into the house and sits next to me on the sofa telling me everything will be fine and that the young boy asked if you would be ok. I guess I

should go hide and never walk outside again. This is going to be very interesting with the Grey's living next door to me.

A/N Please give me your honest opinion on how you guys like this so far. I don't mind getting help with things you see wrong or what I need to improve on. This of course is my very first time writing and I no it may have a lot of mistakes but I am trying. So, this being said do what you do best and leave me a review!
