WHAT?!?!

OUR NEW WHAT?!?!?

NEIGHBORS!

EWW.. That word disgusts me.. Let's just pray to god, it's like an old couple who are really kind.

"I can't believe I didn't tell you about them!" she squealed.

And for the first time in ever, she grabbed my hand and took me to her room. I mean she took me to her ROOM!!

When she opened her door, her hand still grabbing mine, she practically dragged me to her bed and gestured me to sit down.

I was still looking around her room, my jaw wide open. She had pictures of everyone in frames! My mom, her dad, an old picture of my dad.. wait, back up! She had a picture of my dad! Even I didn't have one!

"How did you get that?" I asked motioning towards the picture of my dad, voicing my thoughts.

"That.. your mom gave it to me." she said a small smile appearing on her face.

I smiled at that too and sighed at the memories.

"Okay! Enough pathetic talk.. BACK TO THE TOPIC!" she screamed in my ear causing me to jump a bit.

"Woah! Chill, Zoey.. I wonder who's up there who can make Zoey so happy!" I said pinching her right cheek.

She slapped my hand away.

"I'm already taken by Ryder, but he's out of town and he won't mind if I have a crush on him, right??"

"Actually, he would. But whatever.. I get what you mean, but you've gotta learn how to pick your words, sis."

"I know," she said smiling sheepishly.

"Okay, and who are our neighbors, who you turned out to have a crush on?" I questioned curiously.

"It's Sean Cooper, Garry Cooper, and Stella Cooper! That house is a dream house everyone wants to live with!" she said, scratch that she screamed.

"O-kay.." I said awkwardly.

She looked at me with a challenging look, and then smirked,"You don't know them do you?"

"No!" I said in a duh tone.

"Hmm.. let's see.. Did you see anyone with a red miniskirt today and 2 boys who usually followed her?"she asked.

"Yup," I said remembering the same girl who was mean and popular on the first day of school.

"There you go!" she said with a satisfied grin on her face.

But- but they couldn't be are neighbors! No!

"They are the neighbors you've been going head over heals about?" I asked incredulously.

She just nodded. "So, which one is your crush: Garry or Sean?"

She just laughed. Confused, I stared at her. "Sean, of course. Considering that Garry is their five year old brother who is about to start grade one."

"Then who was the other guy behind her, what was her name?"

"Stella," she completed for me.

"Right, this Stella girl. Who was the other one behind?"

"That was Brant Douglas, Sean's best friend," she said. I was completely shocked at how calm she was today, answering my questions like any normal person would.

Today, we officially had our first 15 minutes conversation without a single argument over anything. If a boy could make us close, I wouldn't really mind him staying in that house, but there were still some conditions.

Zoey awkwardly coughed at seeing me in my own world. I looked back at her, and gestured her to tell me what she had yet wanted to say.

"I was wondering- doyoumindmecomingintoyourroomsinceyourroomhasaperfectviewintohisroom?"she said quickly.

"What? Zoey, slow down a bit." I said.

"I said Do. You. Mind. Me. Coming. Into. Your. Room. since your room has a perfect view into his room," she asked going way slower than needed.

I shrugged my shoulders as if it was nothing. "Fine by me," I said, before I got up from her bed, mumbled a goodnight and went straight up to my room.

I thought sleep would be a good way to forget about it for now.

____________________________________________________________________________________

Waking up the next morning, I did my usual routine. Into the bathroom, out, and into the kitchen.

I grabbed my all time favorite breakfast- Cheerios(the cereal) and gulped it all down.

However, before I got up from my chair, my phone started to ring- Technically it was Ryder's, but you know what I mean..
It flashed Brenda's name.. I picked it up and placed it near my ear, a teensy weensy bit far, cause knowing Brenda, she would scream up any moment. And sure enough, there it was:

"YOU ARE STAYING NEXT TO THE COOPER'S HOUSE??" She said the first thing when I picked it up. That sure was a very sweet 'good morning!'

"So? And no, we are not staying next to them, they are staying next to us." I said making sure to add an eye roll. Even though she couldn't see me.

"Really funny, Kylie." She muttered.

"Anyways, why d'ya call?" I asked.

"Well," she said, "Since the competition is up in precisely 59 days, the dance groups have gained a free pass from the director mentioning that we are allowed to practice during classes. And seeing our routines, I have a feeling we'll be able to pull it off in around 4 days max, if it goes like this."

Now it was my turn to squeal, I screamed a 'yes!' and a 'bye!' to her as I end the call.

Now, that was good news.

_____________________________________________________________________________________
It was a Friday afternoon and all of us were drenched in sweat. We were all so tired by dancing.
The director did give us permission to skip class and sure enough we used the pass. A lot!
Repeating the choreography one last time, all of us headed towards the door and said our byes. We completed our dance with only 47 days left. We used so less time that we decided that we wouldn't be skipping any more classes and only use our lunch breaks for practicing.
Me being the leader of all of them, I held great responsibility. Make sure everything was going perfect, choreograph the dance and so on...
We even chose our dresses of what to wear. I could tell, this competition was going to be BIG!! And me being part of it, I couldn't tell you how glad I am. We were also told that the recruiters for dancing universities will be there and that we had to give our 100% to win this thing. Out of the winners group, he will choose 3 dancers, if they want to dance, of course! And 2 people who were pretty good but their group still lost. So, this year only 5 people will be able to go the dancing university.

OMG!!! I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I AM!!

I ran out, pushing the door way more than needed and creating a really loud noise. I shrugged it off and hopped onto my skateboard, when I heard the phone ring for the billionth time today.
Grudgingly, I pressed the answer button.

"What's up, dude?"
Kody's voice lit up the expression on my face and I suddenly became excited.
"You totally missed it out, didn't ya? Damn your football!" I said childishly before filling her up about all that happened. Everything.. As in from our neighbors to the end of this day's dance and the competition.
"Nice!! And when exactly is this competition you're talking about?" She asked after my explanation.

"December 15th at the theatre in our school!" I answered back and crossed the road.

"Oh well, what is the date today?"

"October 31st-" I was stopped when I felt something hit me HARD.

I fell on the floor with my skateboard beside me, the phone flew off my hand and I could feel the pain all over my body. It was hurting so much and most of all, my leg felt as if they were numb. I tried getting back up, but I was too weak to move.

I heard a click sound from somewhere and felt someone kneel beside me, "Hey, are you o-"

And that was it before I blacked out.
