Author's note: After careful considerations, I decided to skip a day, at least typing this story, for me to evaluate more interesting and humorous scene in this story. That's why I started yester not typing, and now, I'M READY!

Chapter five: Meet MISS Parker (Why miss? I'll show you later. Maybe some of you already know why.)

A woman with an apron came in the door. Meg smiled and kissed her Mom.

"Hi mom, this is Ned, my friend from school. And did you know that he leaves next door." Meg said. Miss Parker was straightly looking at Ned that was giving her his nicest smile.

"Hello Mrs. Parker. It's-"He said, but before he can continue what he was saying Meg's mom interrupted.

"Excuse me. It's MISS Parker. Well, come in, time for spotted snack."

Meg's mom hurriedly goes to the kitchen and Meg just pulled Ned to their house. Looking very puzzled, Ned just cut the umbilical and Meg started too, looked at him.

"Can I ask something?" He said. Meg grinned at him.

"Yes, I know. Why does my Mom what you to call her miss? It's like this, ever since my Dad left us, my Mom didn't consider herself a married woman anymore. She likely treat me as her sister, you know, a mother and child thing, but deep inside, she just want to meet the perfect man for her, that's why we travel a lot. So, it's like that. I appreciate what she wants, because, you know, as her daughter, I want happiness for her. You may understand that because you've got a mother too." She said. But Ned looked like he just missed everything. He looked at his feet, and Meg looked at him.

"What's the matter? Did I say something?"

Ned looked at her and smiled weakly.

"Well, honestly, I don't have a Mother. She kind of left me too since I was a child. That's why; I never felt a mother's love. My Dad raised me sole, I know I'm not that great child, but I always give him the best things that I can give him." He said. Meg felt sorry for him. They've got the same family situation, lost of one family member, the most precious parent.

She never showed him pitiful ness towards him, but she can feel the sorrow of a lost of parent.

"Maybe we are really destined to know each other; we've got a lot of common! Now, let get some snack. I can smell the dish that Mom is preparing."

Then they hurriedly go to the kitchen, and like what Meg just smelled, her Mom made her favorite, chicken macaroni!

"Wow, this smells delicious! My Dad used to cook too, but sometimes, he ended up messing with the dish" Ned said, Meg giggled and her Mom just poured some strawberry lemonade.

"So, how's first day?" Her Mom asked Meg.

"Not bad, a few people treat me like nothing, but I don't care, I don't like being popular too. Then, I met some friends-"

"Friends? Where are there?"

"Well, they can't come; they need to do important things. They said maybe someday."

Then the doorbell rang. They looked at each other and then Meg got to her feet, leaving Ned and her Mom.

"So do you like Megan?" she asked Ned, looking very puzzled.

"Uhm, well. I do like her, as a friend."

Miss parker nodded and leaves Ned at the table.

Meg opened the door and saw a blonde boy that wears a green and yellow jacket and a basketball ball. He was spinning the basketball ball in the tip of his finger.

"Hey, I know you." She said.

"Yeah, I know you too! You're the new kid in school." The man said.

"Excuse me, I'm no KID anymore!" Meg said looking annoyed. She kept on staring the man and then she started asking.

"Why are you here?"

But even before the man could answer her question, Ned and her Mom came running towards her.

"Who's that Meg?" her Mom poked to the door, there she saw the man.

"Seth?" Ned answered. The two Parker's looked at him directly and Seth smiled at him.

"Ned! Why are you here? Are you visiting her too? I didn't have time this morning to catch your name, what's your name again?" Seth asked but then Miss Parker distracted them.

"Well, catch with the information in the kitchen. Seth, come eat snacks with them."

They entered the kitchen. Ned and Megan took their seats and Seth took the seat next to Megan. Miss parker gave a plate with chicken macaroni to Seth and start digging up to his mouth. Ned and Megan looked at each other and then dig in too.

"How did you know we leave here?" Meg stopped and asked Seth that was digging in his Macaroni too.

"Oh yeah. My dad saw you moved yesterday when I was out. When I got home, he asked me to welcome you in the neighborhood and make some friends with you." He answered back. Then Miss Parker tapped him in his back.

"That's very nice of you Seth. Well, tell your dad thank you." She said. Seth nodded. Then they continued eating, but before Megan can swallow the food in the fork, Seth talked to her.

"Hey, you did answer me, what was your name again?"

"Oh sorry, I forgot. I'm Megan Parker. You can just call me Meg, I'm used with it."

Seth giggled for a while followed by Meg. Leaving Ned looking like an idiot there, with no one to talk with, He wish Cookie and Moze was here.

After a couple of minutes they finished eating and put the dishes in the drain. Miss parker came all dress up. Meg started asking her mom.

"Where are you going?"

"Oh, I met a former friend when I drove you to school. She wanted us to catch up with stories, I will come home early. Maybe Ned and Seth can stay with you and do your home works together. If you're hungry again, you can pop up some popcorns and watch while waiting. See you later." Then her mom dashed trough the driveway and left.

Meg looked really shocked on the behavior of her mom; she can't believe that her mom will leave her with two boys she merely knows. Then, Seth came to her followed by Ned.

"Hey, I don't have plans. I can accompany you." Seth said, Meg looked at him looking worried.

"But, your dad?" she asked.

"I'll just go and tell him that I'll be here for a couple of minutes, uhm, to do home work. Yeah, I'll tell him. Just chill for a second." Then Seth dashed to the doors too, leaving Ned and Meg alone in the Salas.

"Well, I can stay too. If you like-"Ned said to Megan. Then she smiled and nodded to him that made him smile too. They go to the sofa and Meg turned on the television.

"We can just stay here watching TV Shows. Remember, its first day; we don't have home work." Ned said to her and they both laugh. They were sitting close to each other, almost touching the each other. The only sound they can hear is the sound coming from the TV.
