Chapter 1:
John is a new guy in the town of Peach tree. He comes from South Africa,
and moved right next door to Dana. One morning Dana comes out of her room
and goes down stairs. Her mother is cleaning like usual, and her little
brother Tommy is reading a new comic book. The only thing missing from the
picture is her dad. Dana looks at the clock, it's 9:15 on a Saturday. Her
dad is usually just getting home from an all night work job. Dana is not
very tall but tall enough for her age. She's 16 and has hazel eyes with
brunette hair. Today was hotter than ever so she decided she would look
cute in her bathing suit, and a pair of shorts over it. Just as she was
about to go outside she peered through the window. A moving truck was
outside and people were moving in. the first thing that came to mind was if
there was a boy or girl her age moving across the street. No sooner had she
thought that then a boy with a mushroom cut haircut stepped out of the
house. He was really cute. As Dana walked out she waved and the family
across the street waved back. When she got to her car Dana realized she had
forgotten her keys. So she headed back towards the house. No sooner had she
stepped in the door than her annoying brother yells at her mom that Dana
had a crush on the weird new next-door neighbors. Quickly she grabbed her
car keys and was out the door. Going out on a nice day like this was just
what Dana needed to think about her new and cute next-door neighbor.
Possibly he could be the boy she goes out with, or maybe just a really good
friend. Dana met up with Kim and Rachel. These are her two best friends.
Every Saturday they do one of three things. They either go to a movie, get
ice cream, or go to Dana's ex boy friends house. Even though Jason and Dana
had broken up they still remained close friends. Instead of staying inside
on this beautiful but hot day Dana decided why not get ice cream. When they
got there they ran into the new kid John again.
"Hey Dana do you know him?" Rachel asked as they sat across the room with
their ice creams.
"Yeah he is my new next door neighbor. Isn't he cute?" Dana replied with a
wide grin on her face.
"You like him! Oh My God! Girl that is so cool. Where's he from. What's his
name? Does he have another brother?" Kim asked hurrying to get all of her
questions out in the open.
"I'm not exactly sure yet. When I walked out of the house today I saw him
and I waved and he waved. I really can't tell you anything at this point."
She said as soon as Kim shut up.
Dana looked up and saw John standing right there. Her mouth wide open she
muttered a quick hello.
