Chapter 2: Meeting Connor
783 Words
I follow my mom down the stairs and out into the backyard. I see that there are about 6 people here. I look up and everyone turns around to look at me. I see the three guys from next door, a mom and dad, and a little girl that looks to be about 7 years old. Oh wow, these guys are even better looking up close!
My dad says, “Hey Elle, these are our new neighbors the Taylors. This is Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, their daughter, Kiley, and their son, Connor. These are Connor’s friends, Matt and Mason.”
I say,”Hi everyone.”
Kiley comes over to me and wraps her little arms around my legs and says, “Hi, you are very pretty.
I hear one of the guys murmur, “Yes, she is.” Then I hear a low growl coming from Connor.
“Thank you Kylie and you are very pretty too.”
She then blushes and runs back to her mother and hides from me. I then look up at the guys and they are all smiling at me.
Connor asks, “So, Elle, what grade are you in?”
I say, “I am starting my senior year.”
They all say that they are too. We then talk a little about the school and Connor asks if he can take me to school on the first day and show me around.
I say, “Sure.”
He asks to see my phone and puts his contact information into it and then hands me his phone and I do the same. Then they say good bye and go back to their house. I go back into the house and up to my room and lay on my bed. I put my earbuds in again and listen to some music. All of a sudden, my phone chimes and I look down at it. Oh my gosh, it is a text from Connor.
It says, “Hey Elle, I was just wondering if you would let me pick you up tomorrow and I will show you around town and then take you to a party tomorrow night so that you can meet some people before next week.”
I reply, “Sure Connor, that sounds good. I will see you tomorrow.”
He says, “Ok.”
I then get up and put my pajamas on. I lay down and turn off my lights and cover up. I put my headphones back in and put on some music and try to fall asleep. I can feel my eyelids get droopy and then I am out. My music cuts out and my phone lights up and chirps. I wake up and look at my phone. I turn off the music and look at the text. It is from Connor.
It says, “Hey, I was wondering if you would like to meet outside in my backyard and talk for a little bit. I would like to get to know you.”
I say, “Ok. I will be right out.”
Oh my gosh, I cant believe this. I quickly get dressed in some shorts and a tank top. I just throw my hair up into a bun and grab my phone and walk quietly out of the house and into the neighbors backyard. I see Connor sitting on his deck in a chair.
I say, “Hi.”
He says, “Hi.”
I then sit down.
He says, “So I thought that we could get to know each other. Plus I can’t sleep.”
I say, “Ok. Let’s play 20 questions?”
He says, “Ok, you can go first.”
I just nod my head at him.
I ask, “What is your favorite color?”
He says, “Blue and you?”
I say, “Purple. “Your turn.”
He thinks about it and asks, “So do you have a boyfriend?”
I just look at him.
I then proceed to say, “No I do not.”
“Do you have a girlfriend? He looks down and says, “No.”
I think that he might be lying. Oh well. We then spend the next four hours getting to know each other. He wants me to meet all of his friends at this party tomorrow night.
I say, “OK.”
He then proceeds to hug and I can feel him sniffing my neck. That is so strange.
He then whispers, “ I am so glad that moved to town.”
I whisper back, “So am I.”
We then part ways and I head back to bed.
