"Sam", my mum called from upstairs.
"Yes", I called out to her from the bottom of the stairs.
"Josh is on the phone." So I ran to the phone and pressed the answer button.
"Hey Josh!" I exclaimed.
"Hey, so there's a new girl next door and I was wondering if you wanted to show her around town tonight at nine?" He asked me.
"Of course, what is this girl's name?" I asked him.
"Her name is Emily. She only has a mum too!" He exclaimed.
"Yeah", I replied sadly "well I gotta go. See you tonight." I said quickly before I hung up the phone.

That night at nine I told mum I was doing my homework and then I jumped out of my window. On the way to the end of the street I thought about my mum, she is single and has me, I never knew my father.
When I got there and I immediately saw Josh, Josh has blonde and brown hair with blue eyes. Then I saw another girl standing next to him, who probably was Emily. She had dark skin, blue eyes and dark hair.
"Hey", I said as I walked up to them, "You must be Emily, I am Sam, and I live on the other side of Josh." I told as I stretched my hand out to shake hers.
"Hi", she replied shyly as she shook my hand and gave me a little smile in my direction.
"So", Josh said after we finished shaking hands "we better go if we finish this tour by eleven."
"Yes", I replied "let's head into town before we go to the beach." So we headed into town. "So, Emily, I hear your Mum's single." I tried to make a conversation, but I knew this one would only end in tears.
"Yeah, she is, but I don't mind too much, my father and my mother were never really married. They just accidently had me, that's what split them up. So if that didn't happen my Mum wouldn't be like in a complicated relationship with the best guy ever!" She replied, "so I hear your Mum's single too, if you don't mind me saying so."
"Yeah, she doesn't talk about it much. All she says that she wasn't supposed to get pregnant that young, so she ran away, instead of facing the consequences. But it's not the most important thing in the world. Well", I told her wiping a tear from my eye "she has an awesome job, she works for pink ribbon, and so, I guess I am kinda lucky."
I could see Josh looking at the ground as I said all this, he knows I don't like to talk about this, especially to people I just met. But this time I didn't care, I liked this girl; I finally had someone I could relate to.
"Well Emily this here is everyone's favourite café, Pinky's. It has the best milkshakes by far; you would have to come with us someday." Josh started, pointing out the very café we met at. "This here is the movie theatre; it really is just a movie theatre. Over there…" after that I just zoned off, I knew everywhere in town anyways, I wasn't the one getting the tour.
I zoned back in just as we got to the beach. It probably was my favourite place in the world, on hot days. The hot sand beneath my feet and the waves, I just loved it.
"This is the beach Emily", I told her, just as Josh opened his mouth to speak "if you are ever looking for me in the summer, this is the first place you should look. Even though it's crowded by girls in bikinis and guys on surfboards, it is a very peaceful place."
Then Emily picked up a handful of sand and let it fall through her fingers, as it touched the ground she ran up close to the water and took off her top, to reveal a blue polka dot bikini and jumped into the water, smiling like an absolute idiot. So I got into my bikini and jumped in with her splashing her with water.
"Josh", I called "come out here! It's so much fun!" So he took off his top and ran out into the ocean with us.
Within the hour we were in the water we were all dunked a lot and very cheery, so we decided to head off.
We walked for about five minutes before we got to our street. That five minutes was very uneventful, we only were laughing and waving to people we hardly knew.
"Bye Emily, bye Josh," I called out to them as they went into their houses.
"Goodbye!" They called out to me. So with that I climbed through my window and got into bed.

I woke up that morning and got ready for school. My dress, my socks and my makeup were put on before I went downstairs. Our school isn't really strict, so they let the girls wear makeup, so that's what I did, everyday.
After I ate breakfast and said goodbye to Mum I walked next door, Josh's house. As soon as I stopped outside the curtains opened and Josh's head poked through. When he recognized me he quickly shut the curtain and ran out the front door.
"Hello, hello," he said to me as he walked next to me, "we need to get Emily but we have to knock on her door."
"Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!" I exclaimed as we approached Emily's door. I knocked on it and a man answered the door. He had green eyes and brown hair, he also had broad shoulders. And he was looking at me very weirdly.
Thanks for reading! It is much appreciated. If you could please review, it makes my day! This is different to a couple of my other stories, a bit more dramatic. But hope you like it!
