Logan sighed and looked up at his new, bright red house. This was the seventh time he had moved in the past three years. He had just turned ten two weeks. His birthday surprise? They were moving AGAIN. His parents were the top two detectives in the country and always took job offers if it meant they would get more money. Being detectives, they were EXTREMELY over protective.
Logan kicked at the unfamiliar snow and sighed again.
"Oh, come on, Logan!" his dad said. "You are going to love it here!"
"You always say that," Logan said.
"Well its true," his mom said. She kneeled down so that she was eye-level with her son that she loved so dearly. Jessica Mitchell looked into her sons beautiful dark brown eyes. "Logan," she whispered. "You are going to have sooo much fun here. There is so much to do. And you can finally play in snow. You can build snowmen, make snow angels, and so much more! You will love it."
"Promise?" he whispered.
"I promise. Now come on," she said holding out her hand. "I'll help you unpack. "
Jessica began to unpack Logan's things as he explored his new room. She watched him open the closet and disappear inside it. She knew he would love the bedroom. He came back out, smiling hugely.
"I can build a fort in there!" Logan exclaimed.
"Yes you can," Jessica said, smiling. "Now, where do you want all your doctor books?"
She was helping Logan put them in ABC order when the doorbell rang.
"Honey!" Logan's dad called. "Its the neighbors!"
"Come on," she said to Logan and led him downstairs.
Logan peeked around his mom and dad and looked at the people standing just inside the door. There was a woman and a young boy who appeared about Logan's age.
"Hello, Im Mrs. Knight," the woman said. "And this is my son, Kendall."
"Nice to meet you," Logan's mom said. "Im Jessica. This is my husband, Mark, and this is my son, Logan." she sidestepped so Logan couldnt hide behind her.
"You like hockey?" Kendall asked, looking at Logan.
Logan nodded shyly.
"The game is on. Do you have a TV?"
"Kendall," Mrs. Knight scolded. "We did not come here to watch a hockey game."
"Its okay," Logan's mom said. "If you dont mind, they can watch it in the living room."
Logan and Kendall took off for the livingroom and turned on the TV.
