Finally done!

It was still 100 degrees out by the time I had finished unpacking the last of my boxes. Feeling accomplished I jumped back and fell onto my newly dressed purple bed.

"Max, are you done yet! Nudge and I are ready to goooo!" Mom yelled. It had taken me double the time they took to unpack. Blame it on my stuff, there's too much of it!

I yelled back at her, "Give me a minute!" I quickly shrugged on a jacket, for a moment forgetting about the heat. I took a minute of just looking out my new window, looking over the new neighborhood and gazing at the woods that surrounded every house in sight. Simply beautiful.

I started running down the stairs, already planning my entrance into the kitchen. I was going to jump over the railing, land in a ninja roll and casually walk out the door. Great entrances are planned. But my plan was spoiled as soon as I had thought it up. Our cat Scampers was stretching out right in front of me. He was too close for me to stop in time.

Fail.

I felt the rest of the way down the stairs. Hearing the commotion, Mom and my cousin Nudge had come to where I was in a tangled heap of rug and Max. "Never again shall we get a cat." I muttered under my breath.

They just stood there looking at me and glancing at the cat who was eyeing me lazily. Nudge had almost collapsed from laughing while my mom stood there trying to hold it in. "Whatever," I said and walked out the door.

I got in the car and rolled down the window. I stuck my feet out and just sat there until I heard the front door of our house opened and Nudge and my mom came out and got n the car.

I was on my way out to meet up with Jeff down the street. We were like brothers and we did everything together. We were planning on going to meet the new neighbors who moved in next door to me. As I was walking down my driveway, I saw the moving truck next door had left and was replaced by a smaller car. Someone's feet were hanging out the passenger's window.

The front door to the house opened and I scurried away to the house across the street to get Jeff.
