We turned the corner and saw a girl with mocha skin screaming. A boy that looked about my age with black hair was shooting her with a water gun. "STOP!" she shrieked. "My clothes, hair, and everything nice is getting soaked!"
I held in my laugh, because the boy with the black hair didn't stop. No pity.
"I'M GETTING YOU FOR THIS!" the girl screamed as she raced into the house. Oh cool, they're our neighbors. I thought, laughing.
The bush near that house rustled. Only my super sharp bird hearing could have heard it, but the black haired boy heard it too. That's so weird, how could he have heard it? I shook it off and saw him yell, "WHO'S THERE? Is that Ella?"
A girl in the bush giggled and hurriedly stood up and made a break for the house. The boy shot her with the water gun. I laughed: I always sneak-attacked Iggy when he wasn't looking.
"AH! STOP IT, FANG!" she screamed. I smirked, but thought: Who in the right mind names their kid Fang? The boy, Fang, chuckled and ran after her.
Later, when Iggy, my mom, and I moved all our luggage and boxes into the house, the doorbell rang. RING DING DONG!
"Can you get it Max?" Mom yelled, exhausted from moving boxes.
"SURE!" I put on a friendly smile. Didn't want to make enemies in the first three hours we were there. I opened the door and came face to face with the mocha dark skinned girl I saw earlier.
"HI! I'm your neighbor! I live in that red brick house right next to you. What's your name? OH OH! Lemme guess, is it Veronica? Or maybe Alice? OH oh or maybe it's Maya! Well whatever your name is, my name is Monique. But call me Nudge, because we're gonna be-"
Her long introduction got cut short by a hand covering her mouth. I looked up and saw the guy called Fang. He was drop dead hot: dark floppy black hair, chiseled chin, and black obsidian eyes. I couldn't help but stare into them.
They were so hypnotizing and beautiful… And I did not just say THAT. Forget about that.
I blushed and said, "Umm...My name is Maximum Ride. But call me Max."
Nudge nodded energetically and blabbered," Cool name! Even though it's a boy's name, it totally suits you! Even though I actually don't really know you, I can just tell it does! I used to have a dog called Max. He was black and cute. Black like Fang! Fang only wears black, it really bothers me and Ella, but I guess it suits him. Fang's real name is Nick. He doesn't like being called that, but the name Fang? I thought-"
Fang covered her mouth again. "MMMRMPHT!" I smiled at their actions. They seemed like cool neighbors.
"Fang." Fang smirked coolly and looked at me.
Thanks, I mouthed and nodded towards his hand, which was covering Nudge's mouth. Boy, Nudge sure could talk!
He kept staring at me, but I pretended not to notice. I did notice he was wearing all black. I guessed Nudge wasn't kidding when she said that. He almost looked emo or goth.
Black hair, black eyes, black clothes.
He also didn't talk very much, but I wasn't exactly the social type either, so I couldn't exactly judge.
