"Madison Delaware wow," I said as I sat in the back seat of my mom's car my brother Zack in the front. Zack huffed before starting to complain to mom.
"Mom are you positive there were no other places looking for vice-principals?"
"Like where?" My mom asked with a small smile on her face.
"Guantanamo bay?" He suggested.
"Oh no too hot" My mom answered
"North Korea?" Zack asked.
"No...they didn't call me back" I laughed a little at my mom's response. Zack sighed
"Detroit?" Zack asked now desperate. My mom didn't answer. We soon pulled up to a house.
"This is it!" My mom said. I and Zack lazily got out of the car. "Come on, Come on," She said ushering us to move quickly. "Look a yard! You'd never get this in new york" My mom said in an attempt to make me and Zack want to stay here.
"Mom you don't have to keep selling us on this place. We're staying because we love you" I said with a reassuring smile to my mom.
"Oh and also we looked into it and legally we can't live alone till we're 18," Zack said. I knew he would ruin it he always has something smart to say. We walked into the house and started to look around. I looked into the kitchen before walking in mom and Zack followed behind.
"Look at this kitchen! It's bigger than our apartment" Mom said in amazement.
"We don't cook," I said to mom.
"But look at all this space to put the take-out on," Mom said as she waved her hands above the counters as I laughed.
"Do you hear that?" My mom asked closing her eyes.
"No I don't hear anything," Zack said confused.
"Exactly," My mom said with a nod. The silence was then broken by a loud voice.
"Live from new york, it's my sister Gale, and special guests, my niece and nephew, Zack and Alivia," My aunt Lorraine said, well more like shouted as she came into the kitchen.
"Get in here with a hug," Aunt Lorraine said opening her arms for a hug. "It's an SNL reference, you're from New York" Aunt Lorraine started to say when she caught eye of mom's outfit. "Oh look at you you're not in any color," Aunt Lorraine said.
"Okay let me take them in," Aunt Lorraine said as she looked at us. "Oh so gorgeous so handsome and thank God cause they were ugly babies," Aunt Lorraine said.
"There it is" Zack and I said in unison.
"Lorraine!"
"What? They're fine now it's not like they are gonna go ugly to attractive and then back to ugly" Lorraine said. I and Zack looked at each other then back at Lorraine.
"Oh I almost forgot I got something for you, Zack, cause I am a cool aunt, it's from our new signature men's line," Lorraine said she pulled out a jean hat with diamonds all over it. It took everything I had to not laugh.
"It's limited edition so you're not gonna see many men wearing that hat," Lorraine said.
"Ya I can't imagine seeing anyone wearing it," Zack said sarcastically.
"Oh no don't worry Alivia I have something in the making for you," Lorraine said to me. My eyes widened.
"Oh no you don't have to do that" I denied
"No it's no problem," Lorraine said.
"Great can't wait" I lied. "Hey, Zack why don't you try on your hat?" I suggested with a smirk.
"Oh no"
"Oh yes do it," Mom said. Zack put it on reluctantly.
"So handsome," Lorraine said
"Okay so I'm gonna go unload some boxes," Zack said as he went to take his hat off.
"Oh, honey leave the hat on and don't want you to burn" Mom taunted causing me to giggle.
I and Zack went out to unload some boxes. We were walking back when the bottom of Zack's box opened and everything fell out.
"Smooth," I said but heard another voice say it with me. I looked towards where the voice came from to see a girl with brown hair wearing a purple shirt.
"So, you're the new neighbors?" The girl asked
"Yeah nice to meet you," Zack said. Zack's never nice...he better not be falling for this chick.
"How long was the drive from New York?" The girl asked. I and Zack both gave her a creeped-out look. "No I can just tell by the pretty hat," She said gesturing to her head. I chuckled a little.
"Oh no, this was just a gift" Zack reassured her.
"It's also a gift for me and anyone who gets to see you wearing it"
"I'm Zack and this is my twin sister Alivia," Zack said.
"I'm Hannah" She introduced herself.
"Hannah" I heard a faint voice of a man say.
"Gotta go," She said as she quickly walked away.
"Good talk," Me and Zack said in unison. Suddenly a man took Hannah's spot in the window.
"Oh hi, we're your new neighbors we're just moving in," I said as I waved. He just stared
"Just me, my mom, and my sister," Zack said. He continued staring. This guy's creepy. "This hat was a gift," Zack said thinking he was staring because of the hat.
"Do you see this fence?" The man asked.
"Umm wh-what?" I asked in confusion
"Do you see the fence?" He asked in a more stern tone.
"Um yes," Zack and I said in unison.
"Stay on your side of it, Stay away from my daughter, Stay away from me.....and we won't have a problem," He said before walking away. So much for a warm welcome...
"That was weird" Zack and I said in unison. We walked back into the house and I went into my room. I put my box on my bed and dug through the box searching for the old pictures of my dad. I found them and sat on my bed looking through them and reliving the amazing memories. A tear ran down my face. All of a sudden I heard a knock on my door.
"You okay in there, honey?" I heard my mom ask.
"Yeah, mom! Just reading some werewolf fanfictions, the usual" I answered trying to hide the quiver in my voice.
