New Neighbour

Walking into the gym wearing my plain white t-shirt, red shorts and white trainers I noticed everyone crowded round Mr Livvings. He must have started the register… Seeing Sam I quickly jogged over to stand next to her.

'Nice of you to join us, Miss Dean…' Livvings said, and I just nodded as he got back to calling out names.

It was the guys turn to pick what we played today… and we all knew what was coming…

… 'DODGEBALL!' They all shouted.

Getting into two teams we had Me, James (that was the new guys name), Sam, Tom and Kate on team 1 and then Mike, Ricky, Jess, Annie and Liam on team 2.

We were about half way into the game (which we were winning by the way) when someone shouted 'LOOK OUT!'Before I could look to see what was happening, I felt a dodge ball hit my head… knocking me out.

When I woke up, I was in my bed… I had no idea how I got there but when I turned my head… there he was. James was sitting on my sofa across my room.

'H-How did we g-get here? How'd you get in? How did you know I live here?'

He looked at me and said 'Kayla calm down… You got knocked out in dodge ball remember? School was nearly over so the nurse told me to just bring you home. Your house keys were in your backpack… oh… and I'm your new neighbour' he said the last part with a huge grin on his face… Taking in everything up to the 'keys in my backpack' part was okay… but as soon as he said he was my new neighbour I screamed! 'What! New neighbour… huh? What? When? Huuuuh?'

He looked at me and laughed… 'Yeah… New neighbour… we moved in last night…'

Well… that would explain why this was new to me… I was in such a hurry this morning that I ran out the house and drove straight to school. I probably wouldn't have noticed if one of the houses were on fire… okay… I probably would.. But yanoooo.
