You always lived next door to your best friend, Maxine, constantly wondering who the next owners of the house across the street will be, hoping itβs not a creep.
The day finally comes where you find out. You are in your room when something catches your eye and you glance out your window to see a family unpacking their car. A young woman with blond hair, a little boy and⦠a teenage girl.
She seems somewhat annoyed at her mom. You watch the girl sigh slightly and look around the street before she notices you in the window. She holds your gaze with a faint smile before her mom tells her to do something and goes back inside.
About an hour later, your mom tells you to give the new neighbours the cookies she made because sheβs going to work and canβt do it herself.
You find yourself crossing the street, holding a container of cookies. You hesitate before knocking on their door. You hear a southern accent call out. βGinny! Can you get that?β
After a few moments, the door opens and the girl from before meets your eyes, her expression softening. Hi.
