Chapter 3: The Neighbors Next Door
Bristow Residence
Saturday Morning
The sun shone brightly through Syd's cream colored curtains, but she remained asleep. She ly in bed on her side cradeling Juno beside who lay facing Syd whilst she had her thumb in her mouth. Slowly by slowly the crept upon them, tanning the in the sun's glorious yellow heat, but the two remained asleep. Birds chirped and sung beautiful melodies outside Sydney's bedroom window, upon the ledge, but still the two remained asleep.
Downstairs in the entrance way the front door creaked open. A pair of keys were jammed in the lock and turned slowly. Then the knob rotated and the door creaked open slowly. Natalie slowly and quietly stepped in the house, trying to make her way to her bedroom without Sydney noticing that she'd spent the entire night with Aiden. She'd desperatetly hopped that mom and dad hadn't come home yet either.
After she shut the front door-quitely-she set the keys on a table and slipped her shoes ignoring the shoe rack in front of her. She took off her earings and went into the kitchen hoping to get a sip of water before Syd got up. She looked into the fridge and pulled out a pitcher and poured the water in a glass cup and drank it, then she made her way upstairs to her bedroom.
She struggled to get out of her tight dress, wiggling back and forth and slowly pushing it from her torso down to her waist and finally off. She set her earings in her jewelry box and made her way to the bathroom grabbing a long Raiders tee shirt on the way. But to her curiousity and fright she stepped out of the bathroom quickly heading towards the crib. Juno wasn't there. She ran out of her room and quickly ran into Syd's room raising her feet from the ground so that she wouldn't wake Syd in Juno if they were in there. To her relief they were, cutely lying their snugged into each other looking cute and warm. Natalie couldn't help but smile. She left the two lying there as she walked out the room she parted with a smile.
Sydney woke up a few minutes later slided her arm from under Juno and gently pulled herself from the bed. She wipped the tiredness from her saggy eyes and went to the bathroom, splashing water on her face, and now all the sleepyness was gone. After that she made her way down to the kitchen to find Nat already in the kitchen preparing waffles for breakfast. She was dancing to the stereo in the kitchen that was playing So Yesterday. Natalie hummed the lyrics to the song...
"...If it's over let it go and
Come tomorrow it will seem
So yesterday, so yesterday
I'm just a bird that's aready flown away
Laugh it off let it go and
When you wake up it will seem
So yesterday, so yesterday
Haven't you heard that I'm gonna be okay
You can say you're bored-if you wanna
You can act real tough-if you wanna
You can say you're torn
But I've heard enough
Thank you...you made my mind up for me
When you started to ignore me
Do you see a single tear
It is't gonna happen here
Atleast not today, not today, not today
'Cause...
Syd smiled at her sister remembering the good old days when they used to dance to that very song when they were little kids. She crept up from behind her sister who was stiring the waffle batter and placed her arms above her waist and bringing her sister in for a big hug, when she felt her sister's arms around she jumped for a second and then turned round to see Syd standing behind her with a big smile on her face.
"Jesus Syd, you scared the geebers out of me." She said, catching her breath.
"Well, that's good geebers don't seem pleasant to have in you." Syd retorted still laughing from her sister's scare.
"That wasn't funny." Natalie replied with a fake frown.
"Yeah, it kinda was, you should have seen you're face, it was so hysterical." Syd said as she finished laughing. "What are we having for breakfast?" She said peering around to get a clue.
"Waffles...your favorite." She smiled.
Natalie went back to resuming cooking breakfast as Syd sat across from her on the island counter, looking at her with a big smile. She couldn't help but wonder when exactly her sister had gotten home this morning, but that wasn't what her that smile it was something else.
"So...Nat when did you get home last night?" Syd asked.
"Uh...late..why?" She asked with a puzzled look on her face as she licked the spilt batter off of her fingers.
"Just curious that's all." Syd said as she tried to hold back her smile and the laughter that would soon follow had she smiled, instead she kept it together.
"Umm..I dunno midnight-ish I guess." Natalie said keeping her head down so her sister would catch her in a lie.
"Really that's odd?" Syd inquired.
"Mhmm...why's that?" Natalie replied finally looking up at Syd.
"It's just the note on your back begs to differ." Syd said she finally let out a slight giggle.
"What?" Her sister asked, and then she began reaching behind her to find the note.
"Com'ere." Syd said still laughing hard, Nat walked over to her facing her back towatds Syd and then she took off the note and handed it to her. Natalie read the note.
*Syd's Note says*
You're late...I'm assuming you had a hot date
Your lil sis Syd
"Seriously Syd, I though you were above that." Natalie said tossing the note in the trash bin. She walked back over to resume her cooking. Syd jumped off the island counter and waited for it. She smiled at her sister and then ran and with that Natalie ran after her yelling her name. She chased her through the house up the stairs, down the stairs until they both settled on Syd's bed, both completely out of air and gasping loudly for air. The two sister looked at each other and began laughing.
Just as they got up they heard a loud truck, the noise coming to their ears from Syd's bedroom window. They looked at her in suprise. They hardly ever had any cars on their street, no less trucks. The two sisters got up and ran over to the window and peered out and saw three big U-Haul trucks pulling up to the Caldwells old house, shortly after the three trucks pulled up to the house, two more trucks followed behind and the two sistes looked at each other, their eyes as big as saucers. Who could they be, they thought to themselves, they sure hoped that the neighbors would be more interesting than the Caldwells. They were boring and not fun, not to mention old.
The drivers exited the trucks and began moving the heavy boxes and furniture into the house. They waited to see of soon a car would pull up reveiling the new house oweners but they never showed up, but Syd and Nat continued to watch the truckers/movers move the heay tables and etageres, book shelves and lamps. Natalie and Syd eyes the furniture and took notice in the furniture. The thought the furniture looked younger and funner than the Caldwells. They couldn't wait to meet the new neighbors next door.
Sorry this chapter wasn't all that amazing and long and maybe not super interesting, but this chapter was to introduce the new neighbors, you know who. But I'm not saying. Song in this chapter is So Yesterday by Hilary Duff.
