The doorbell rings.
Who could it be? We had just arrived and we didn't know anyone yet.
What if...
... Maybe it was my package but it seemed to me that it was impossible. I had ordered everything an hour ago.
Strange.
- I am going to open ! I cried as I came down the stairs.
- I arrive ! I added, opening the door which was locked.
We locked it because we had moved to another city and we were very careful. We even had an alarm installed so you might as well tell you ...
- Hi ! Introduced a pretty blonde about my age holding a basket full of little things in her hand.
I could see a bottle of wine, a jar of jam, a few homemade cupcakes with a nice menu that protruded a bit.
- Let me introduce myself, my name is Victoria, but everyone calls me Vicky, Vic or Vivi.
I'm your neighbor, nice to meet you!
I am so happy to have a neighbor my age!
The old neighbors were very nice but they were an old couple so I can tell you that I was a bit bored during this vacation.
All my class friends have gone to party elsewhere but this year I decided to stay here and now I have a new neighbor! she said, jumping.
Wow! I did not see her coming that one! She was very horny and very sociable apparently!
- Oh hi ! Me it's Emma as you noticed, I just moved in it looks really cool in here.
- Who are you saying that to ? Here in Miami it's fantastic with neighbors we're like family!
Ahh the word family ...
I pouted after hearing him say that.
Besides, it seemed to me that she had noticed it but she didn't want to make me uncomfortable so she had directly changed the subject.
- Hey, it's for you. A small welcome gift! she said, handing me this beautiful basket.
- Wow that's really lovely of you, thank you very much! I thanked her.
- With pleasure it's three times nothing! Are you going to Miami High School?
- Yes exactly. You too ?
- That's it.
If you want, I will show you around the school so that you don't confuse the classes because I can tell you that they are very deceptive and if we don't come on time in class, it's time to meet. The director.
In any case we have one year left and it's good, finally finished high school! Hello INDEPENDENCE! she yelled.
She made me laugh.
- Oh so in addition to being in the same school, we will be in the same class and being neighbors. I had never had this chance before!
- Yes! Is it downgraded you've seen?
Oops! she said looking at her watch.
I'm really sorry, I have to go back anyway it was a pleasure to chat and I can't wait to get to know you better.
See you next time !
- Okay no problem, thank you again Victoria! I say, closing the door behind me.
I went into the kitchen to give my mother the basket that had taken care of it. I would turn on the television and start watching my series.
A good hour later, it was time to turn it off.
I had to set the table and help my mother.
I walked to the kitchen and helped her by peeling some vegetables.
- Liam my angel, will you help Emma to set the table?
- Yes, I want to, but why is Emma doing nothing?
She just watched TV all afternoon and I didn't! I'm sick of this vacation notebook!
Ah I forgot this defect! Liam is jealous very jealous.
In fact I didn't even know if I could call it jealousy.
Why ? I really had no idea. Yet we were both the same.
Normally it was still more for me to be because most parents prefer the last child so Liam really didn't have to worry. Except I didn't know what he had since we got to Miami.
Of course he liked the house but he preferred his old life because the gentleman was the "leader" of his class, all his friends appreciated him from now on.
And there he had the impression that there was no one left and I could understand him.
- Liam what did we say? We stop being jealous.
- What? Me jealous? But no ! It's Emma mom! I didn't do anything, it's she who is too jealous of me!
I looked at my brother with pride who was growing so fast.
I remembered it when I wore it the day it was born ...
- You see mom? What did I say ? She's just watching me I really don't know what she's got, I know I'm handsome but it gets a bit awkward at the end!
My mother and I looked at each other surprised to hear him say such crazy things which made us laugh.
We finished eating and I began to clear the table and do the dishes.
I didn't want to see my mother getting tired after this painful move.
An hour after I had finished everything, I went to shower.
After a busy night, I got up and walked around the house.
Liam was asleep and my mom was gone on her first day of work.
I slowly ate my breakfast in front of the television. I felt like I was going to spend my morning babysitting Liam and staying in my pajamas. In any case, it was a good start.
It was lunch time, I didn't know how to cook much except pasta and make an omelet but Liam didn't want a meal like that ...
My mother saved me and came in time.
We had decided to stay home today and rest before the start of the school year.
Tomorrow was going to be another day !
