Chapter 2: Liv - The Intros Were Made... Well Sort Of
Later today, around 5:00, I was flippin through channels when the doorbell rang.
"Liv, sweetie, will you get it? I'm washing the dishes. It's probably the postman with my package." My mom called to me.
"Ya sure, Mom." I replied.
I got up reluctantly because Food Network's Cutthroat Kitchen was on. I liked that show. I opened the door, and was suprised.
A breif glance saw a boy, must've been my age, and I didn't know him.
"Ha! You're not the postman." I started to close the door.
"Wait! I'm Holden Dippledorf, my family is moving into the house to your left." he said.
"When I looked back at him, I took in the details. Caramel skin, dark brown hair, nice sense of style, definitely cute. There was a warm feeling in my chest. I laughed nevously.
"I'm Liv Rooney. And I live in... well this house." I said.
My sister came down the steps and to the door.
"Whoah, am I seeing double?" Holden asked, rubbing his eyes.
"Nope. I'm Maddie, Liv's twin sister. But we're totally different. Like night and day. Dark and light. Moon and sun. Black and-"
I cut her off.
"He's got it Maddie." I said, annoyed. I laughed nervously again.
"Mads, this is Holden and he and his family are moving into the house on our left." I explained.
"Yeah. Well my mom wants me to go to all the houses around ours and tell her about the neighbors, so for you I'd say: genuinely nice and... interesting. How's that?" He asked.
"As long as interesting is good, I mean, then its fine." I tried to get out. He was super cute. Did I mention SUPER cute?
"Yeah, it's a good thing." He said back.
"So, do you have any siblings?" I asked him.
"Just a little sister. Her name is Becca. She's 8. I know it's you guys and your parents. Anyone else?" he questioned.
"Yep. We've got an older-that-doesn't-act-older brother named Joey, and a younger-acts-more-mature brother Parker." I explained. He laughed at my reasoning.
"So I guess your house is jam-packed." he said.
"Yeah, the bathroom is a little cramped in the mornings but other than that, I mean, we're good." I joked.
"So where are you going to school Holden?" Maddie asked.
"I'm going to Ridgewood High. I hear the principal is really nice." He told us.
"Yeah, I guess so, but its kind of hard to make a judgment about how nice she is when she's your mom." Maddie confessed.
"Oh, that's cool. I also heard the gym teacher, Coach Rooney is... wait he's your dad, isn't he."
"You got it." Maddie answered.
"That's cool you'll be with me- I mean us this year and next year since we're Juniors. You're a Junior, right?" I asked.
"Yep. Well I've got to go. Got to talk to the other neighbors. See ya at school!" Holden waved goodbye as he crossed the street. I shut the door.
"Oh. My. Gosh! Holden is soooooo cute! I think I got the crushies!" I exclaimed to my sister.
"Good for you, Liv! He seemed super nice." Maddie said back.
"I can't wait for Monday!" I said.
****Wow! They finally met! So the next chapter insight: a catch-up on how Holden feels about Liv and a little background on him. Some things will be different since Liv never new him so I will try to make him interesting. The chapter will be a little short so I'm sorry in advance but I will make it as long as I can. I hope you liked this chapter and my next one will be out soon! Thanks For Reading! :D****
