The Neighbors
Moving will be fun they said. This isn't the first time my parents told me that something was going to be fun and it wasn't. Moving is not fun. It is tiring, annoying, and stressful. I have never wanted to just crawl and bed and take a nap as much as I did when we got two days into packing up our stuff to put it in the moving van. The only good part about moving to another town is the long peaceful car ride. I was so deep in thought about how annoying moving is that I hadn't noticed I was falling asleep until it was too late. I woke up to my mom saying "Y/n, its time to wake up we're here." I responded with "ok" and checked the time on my phone. It was 2:30 pm, I had slept for two hours. As I as was getting out of the car, I noticed how nice the neighborhood looked, all of the houses were beautiful with matching green lawns. "We told you it was a nice house, didn't we Y/n?" My stepdad said after noticing my impressed facial expression. My step dad's name is Park Lee, he only married my mom a month ago and I'm still not comfortable with calling him dad yet. "yes you did Mr. Lee, and this is also a very nice looking neighborhood too." As I turned my head towards the moving van, my mother added, "there are some very nice people living in this neighborhood too y/n. In fact, we met two very nice boys around your age when we came last week to bring in the furniture, they even said they would come and help us unpack. They are going to help you bring in all of your stuff and help you unpack since me and Lee already brought our stuff and unpacked when we brought the furniture." I was slightly shocked that my mom had so easily agreed to allow two strangers to help me unpack without my consent. "Uhmmmmm ok? Why didn't you ask me before agreeing to let two strangers help me unpack?" I asked out of pure confusion. "Because we moved to a new town, you don't have any friends here, and if I asked you-you would've said no. Look y/n, I'm your mom and I'm just trying to look out for you, these boys are our neighbors and they go to the same school you go to," she replied. "They are our neighbors? What side do they live on? " I asked. "One lives on the left and one lives on the right" my mom replied in one breath. I thought about it, nodded my head and said "ok", then turned around and headed back down my path towards the moving van with my stuff in it. Right as I reached the van, I saw two boys, each headed from a different direction, headed towards our house. When they reached the house, the one with brown hair spoke. "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Park, we came to help with unpacking the van like we promised" my mother smiled and said, "thank you, my daughter is the only one that hasn't unpacked yet, so you two can help her," Well thanks, mom, just make me sound like a lazy girl. They turned to me and smiled, I smiled back and said, "Hey, my name is y/n" the one with red hair said, "Chanyeol, nice to meet you" with a surprisingly deep voice as he waved at me. I smiled and waved back. ", And my name is Chen," the brown-haired one said. "Hello, Chen," I said while waving. We started discussing who was going to carry which boxes upstairs when my mother interrupted us. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but me and Lee are going to be a couple houses down talking with some of the people that live in our new neighborhood, so if you need anything, y/n, you know where we are." I nodded my head and said "Bye mom, bye Mr. Lee" they both said bye and walked to the house on the right of ours. I turned back to the van to hand each boy two boxes to carry in when Chen inquired, "You call your dad Mr. Lee?" I looked at him and let out a small laugh and said, "Mr. Lee is my stepdad, my mom married him a month ago and I'm not quite comfortable with him enough to call him dad yet." They both said ohh in unison and the three of us laughed. Each of us carrying two boxes, we headed in the house and upstairs to my room. We set the boxes down and headed back downstairs to get the rest of stuff of the boxes from the van.
~~MAGICAL TIMESKIP~~
~~THREE HOURS LATER~~
The three of us had just finished unpacking all of my stuff and setting up my room. I checked the time on my phone and it's 6:12. I am tired and so are Chen and Chanyeol. My mother had invited them to eat dinner with us, both had agreed. While we were unpacking my things, I got to know them and they got to know me. I had found out that both of them are older than me and that I am, apparently, one of the youngest in our grade.
~~ANOTHER MAGICAL TIMESKIP~~
(sorry I am a little lazy)
~~END OF THE DAY/GOING TO BED~~
I couldn't stop wondering what my new school is going to be like. I hope that most people are as nice as Chen and Chanyeol. I know that this wish is impossible, but I can still hope.
