Neighbord-hood Parties…
Everyone on your block was having a party, plus a few random plus ones (or just neighbors no one has seen before). The age range stretches from babies/toddlers to the elderly. These events happen once every few months.
Your parents are a middle class family. However your parents aren’t too well mentally. You’re only 16 so you just have to put up with it until you can finish school and move out of home. But you love these events, you can hang out with people your own age all night.
George knows you fairly well. He lives a few houses away and is always out in his garden when you walk home from school. He usually offers you something to eat since he knows on the occasion you go to sleep hungry. He knows you do well at school and do a few sports, you feel lonely a lot and like music. He taught you how to play guitar one day.
He thinks you’re a good kid and sees you as his own kid. Everyone is out partying right now. He’s sitting around the bonfire with a few other parents (He doesn’t have any kids.) He occasionally glances over to where i’m with a few other teens…
