2 Guests

EDITED BY COZMA

Elizabeth's P.O.V

Knock Knock… There were two knocks on my door that woke me from my sleep once again.

"Who's there?" I ask lazily. Is it a crime to want a peaceful sleep without any obstructions? Well, I think it's a crime in my house

"Elizabeth Clinton open this door now!" I recognize the voice, that's my mom's voice. Judging from the fact that she just called me by my full name I'm guessing there will be trouble.

I jumped out of bed and opened the door as fast as I could. I met my mom's gaze which looked irritated. She scanned me from head to toe and her facial expression changed.

"Have you been sleeping?" She asked.

"Yes, I have… Is anything the matter?" I said in the most polite tone that I could muster.

"Do you know what time it is?" She asked again but after seeing me shaking my head in reply she continued.

"It's 5 in the afternoon! You slept more than half of the day; Betty is there something wrong? Are you depressed?" She looked so concerned that I felt bad for it.

"No, not at all mom! What gave you this idea? I just needed to rest" I tried to reassure her but I don't think it worked judging from her expression of worry not changing.

"Okay then, do something about all of this then" She advised while looking at me from head to toe once again and then frowning.

"After that come downstairs quickly, we have guests," She said and left right after.

I was wondering who the guests are but there's no time to think, I walked into the bathroom and showered as quickly as I could, dressed up in casual wear, and then brushed my hair.

As I was walking down the stairs I began wondering once again about the unknown guests.

'Could they be?' I ask myself in a moment of realization.

'Of course, it couldn't be but it is…' The guests were our new neighbors.

My mouth dropped to the ground as I stood in the living room, staring at our guests.

"Wow! Betty! You've grown up so much!" Mrs. Rakesham stood up and then hugged me. I hugged her back as I really missed her as well. She released me and went back to sit beside her husband. The only place available to sit was right beside Josh and I took it happily.

My eyes wandered around, and once I looked beside Mr. Rakesham; I was able to see Jake. He matured so much and looked more handsome than before. I felt myself blushing and after Jake's eyes met with mine but I quickly looked away. 'He was also staring at me!'

"What school will Jake attend? My mom asked trying to make conversation. Considering the fact that there's only one school in the neighborhood I already knew the answer to that.

"He'll be attending Hensworth Academy" Jake's dad, Mr. Rakesham, answered my mother.

"How old are you now Josh?" Jake's mom asked, she was looking at Josh, waiting for an answer with a smile on her face.

"I'm twelve!" Josh said.

I didn't hear anything after as my thoughts were being occupied by the fact that Jake and I will be attending the same school. There was also the fact that he has been looking at me in a really weird way that's making me uncomfortable.

Time passed by and Jake's mom finally announced their departure.

"Alright then, we have to go and meet with the other neighbors, we'll talk another time!" She said after looking at the time.

"We'll bring gifts next time!" Jake's mom said as she left by the door. Jake stopped at the doorstep and looked back at me "Bye." He said in a low voice but I was close enough to hear him.

"Bye," I mutter out in response. He smiled and began walking forward once again.

Josh closed the door behind them. Inside the house were just me and my family once again just the way I like it....
