Chapter 2: New neighbors
"Jess! Wake up! Wake up! You're going to be late for school!" May Belle shouted, running over to Jess's bed.
Jess groaned sleepily and turned away from May Belle, hoping she would leave. However, his sister wasn't ready to leave yet.
"May Belle, leave me alone. It's a Saturday so quit trying to trick me."
May Belle crossed her arms and pouted, but her eyes sparkled with mischief and playfulness. She giggled.
"Wow, Jess! How did you know today is Saturday?"
"'Cuz yesterday was Friday?" Jess asked rethorically.
"Right!" May Belle said, her eyes sparkling.
"Now will you please leave?" Jess snapped, hoping he didn't sound too harsh.
May Belle put her hands on her hips, the young Princess of Terabithia appearing very demanding. May Belle pouted slightly.
"But we've got new neighbors! How can you not be excited about that, Jess?"
Jess felt a pang in his heart, although he couldn't understand why. He turned around to look at May Belle, his eyes examining her seriously.
"You're kidding, right?"
May Belle shook her head and smiled. She jumped onto Jess's bed and dragged him over to the window. He followed reluctantly.
"May Belle-"
"See! Down there, by Leslie's house! See the moving trucks?" She shouted excitedly, pointing at the old house next door.
"Yeah, I see it." Jess said.
Why do we need new neighbors? Jess thought. They're also going to leave eventually anyways...
"Whoa, where's the fire?"
May Belle and Jess turned around, finding their dad, Mr. Aarons, standing in the doorway, an amused smile on his face.
"Daddy! We're getting new neighbors!" May Belle shouted excitedly, jumping up and down.
Mr. Aarons chuckled.
"You're right about that. Say, I think the family moving in has a daughter around your age, Jess. Why don't you go say hi and introduce yourselves?"
"Can we, Jess?" May Belle asked, pulling at his shirt. "Can we? Can we?"
Jess looked at her.
"May Belle-"
"Daddy, can we?" May Belle asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Mr. Aarons couldn't help but chuckle again.
"Sure, you can. Today, after breakfast, you and Jess can go say hi to the neighbors. Now, I gotta go to work but you can tell me how it was when I get back."
"YAY!" May Belle shouted triumphantly. "Me and that girl are gonna be best friends! I just know it!"
Jess looked out the window at the moving trucks and glared at them. He wasn't so sure if he was going to like these "new neighbors" just yet.
