'The Life and Times of Em Watts by Christopher Maloney'

"I remember…"
Me and my dad got out of the car, the delivery van behind us. I looked up at the huge block of flats that would be my new home. There were so many!
About an hour later, after a look around the flat, we had finished unloading the boxes off of the truck, and started to bring them into that flat.
I went to find my box of video games, they were my favourite things.
When I found the box, I also found a girl, a little smaller than me, with dark hair held back by a blue scrunchie, looking in the box. When she saw me, she stopped looking and looked a little embarrassed.
"Hey, what's your name?" I asked.
"Em." She said shyly.
"Is that short for Emily?"
"No, it's short for Emerson." she replied, not as shy as she was.
"Well, hi Em, I'm Christopher."
There was an awkward pause.
"So, I see you like video games then?" she asked.
"Umm…yeah. Do you?"
"Yeah, I play them all the time. My favourite one is JourneyQuest."
"Me too!"
Just then I heard my dad shouting.
"Christopher! Come help me unpack!"
"Coming!" I shouted back. "So, are you going up to the middle school after summer?"
"Yeah."
"Cool, I'll see you later then. Bye." I said, turning and walking towards my dad.
"Bye!" Em called after me.
