"but mommy," The shaggy black haired 5 year old whined to his mother, "i don't wanna leave! I wanna stay here in New Jersey!" he began to tug on his mothers blouse.
"Duncan, I'm sorry sweetie," she knelt down to his level and gently brushed against her son's pale cheek,"your father is being relocated to N.Y.C to work for the N.Y.P.D., this is a great chance for your father!"
Duncan continued to pout as he watched the last of their,belongings being packed into the moving truck. "but mom, all my friends are here! What am i going to do?!"
His mother sighed,"Dunny, you will make plenty of friends. There are so manny people there! I'm sure you will make a new friend within the mext few days we're there!" she patted his back and led him towards their car. He climbed up, and took one last look at his old home.
He would soon realize his mother was right.

Duncan's POV
Well, we're here at this stupid house at this stupid neighborhood in stupin New York. I took a look around at the houses nearby. They were all HUGE. We lived right on the outskirts of the inner part of the city.
'why did we have to move to this stupid place anway, dad had a perfectly fine job in Trenton.' i thought to himself as he continued to pout as he watched the movers place everything in their new home. He strolled inside to take a look around. I walked into the foyer. This whole inside is SO BIG! I walked through the kitchen, the dining room, and the maste bedroom. I started to think i might actually like it here!
"Duncan, sweetie," I heard my mom call,"all your boxes are in your room, how about you go ahead and go set it up!"
This actually made me excited. As much as I HATED moving, i did enjoy the fact that i got to arange my own room, even though my mom will probably end up helping. I ran upstairs and entered my new room. 'wow this is so much bigger than my other room!' I thought to myself. We lived in an apartment back in Trenton. It was a big apartment! But my room was never this big! And to top this off, the room is my favorite color, green!(my parents already got the rooms painted). I already had my bed set up, thanks to the movers, and my desk, dresser, and shelves put up.
I went ahead and put up all my pictures on my shelves (mom, dad, brothers, etc) and most of my posters (mostly old bands, games, etc). I decided to let my mom put up my clothes and and make my bed, hey i'm lazy.
I walked over to my window and took a look outside. It was super bright outside, i could feel the heat filling my room. It felt really nice. Then, i saw some walk out the house next door. She was small, looked about the same age as me. She ha carmel hair up in curly pigtails. She had a light blue dress that really fit her tanned skin. Out behind her came an older woman, about the same age as my mom, carrying a tray of food. She walked over to my mom and greeted her, with the girl strolling behind. The girl looked around as the two parents talked when all of a sudden, she looked up to my room and looked at me! I quickly crouched down and sat against the wall.
"wow" i muttered under my breath.
"Duncan," I heard my mom call,"come meet our neighbors!"
