“Thanks for not laughing at me.”
I said smiling.
“Me, laugh, never.”
he said with a playful smile.
“Where do you live, you look really familiar.”
he said scratching his chin.
I pointed out the window.
“I’m your neighbor.”
We both started laughing.
“Of course, of course. Silly me.”
“In your defence, I’ve only lived here for a month or two.”
“i didn’t even know I had new neighbors.”
I looked down.
“You didn’t. My dad sent me to live with my aunt for a while while he worked some stuff out.”
“Oh.”
This created an akward silence.
“well aren’t you lucky, you got to live next to me, the best neighbor ever.”
he said trying to cheer me up, it worked.
“Yeah, extremely.”
I looked at the clock, 5:30 pm.
“it was really great meeting you Sean, but I better get going.”
“Too bad. Alright, bye Sara.”
I walked back into my house.
“Sucess.”
I said to myself.
