1. New neighbor
Three years he lived here, in the place he called home. In the small town of circle creek. Chris lived with his father, the richest man in town. In his three years, he met two friends named rebecca and Marcus. In the times they've had together, this one event will change their lives. Chris was just leaving his home when he saw a large, metallic purple van. The van was parked across his street. "that van's new." He said with a blank expression.
"must be visitors." With that said, he left for Marcus' house. When he reached the end of his block, he noticed Marcus and rebecca were already walking towards his house. "Hey Chris!!" Rebecca yelled. Rebecca had short, blond hair, and beautiful green eyes. She had been friends with chris since he moved in. she almost always wore a black hoodie, except now, since it was a sweltering summer day.
"Hey becca!" Chris exclaimed. He ran over to them and heard the strangest news on his arrival. "you see that van over there?" Rebecca said, pointing to the metallic van Chris had seen earlier. "yeah, what about it?" Chris asked, puzzled. "they're our new neighbors. it's exciting huh?" As rebecca kept speaking, chris' mind was trailing off from the word, neighbors. He turned around to look at the van and he saw two people leave. one was a tall female, with long, dark hair. The other was a male, about his size and age with shorter, brown hair. "neighbors huh..." Chris was awe struck at the boys beauty. He hadn't seen anyone like this since before he left his original home in montanna. "tell me more about these neighbors." Chris said as he and his new friends walked down the opposite way of the van. Yet no matter how far they walked, no matter how many times the subject changed, the new neighbor was set in his mind, as he kept looking back, hoping to see him again.

2. new friend
Later that night, chris was with his father, aboutto eat dinner, when the doorbell rang. "i wonder who that could be." chris said, confused. "Oh, i invited the new neighbors for dinner tonight. you know, to get to know them better." chris' father explained. Chris was set back at the sudden explaination and watched his father get up to open the door. "hello, how are you this evening?" chris listened in on the conversation. "very well. My son and I are very excited to get to know you." Chris heard the woman from earlier talk, but what bothered him was the fact the son came along. He was hoping that he would skip the meeting, but by the sounds of the conversation, he hadn't.
"well please, come in. Dinner is just getting ready."
Chris heard them walking in, and straightened himself to look presentable. The first to meet him was the mother. "hello, my name is Theressa. You must be chris." Theressa held out her hand and smiled. "nice to meet you." Chris shook her hand and replied, "nice to meet you too." the girl smiled and sat down next to chris' dad. The boy was left with the seat next to chris. As they progressed through dinner, the adults started to talk, but chris ignored them. It seemed that the other boy was ignoring them as well. As chris ate, he heard the boy speak. "Hi, i'm Jack. I just moved from florida." Chris nearly choked on his food, yet he swallowed and replied, "i'm chris. i moved her from montanna about 3 years ago." He smiled, then noticed that he had finished his food. "well, i'm going to put my dish up so, excuse me."
"well, i'm done too, so i guess i'll come with."
in the kitchen, as they washed off their dishes, Jack began describing the move and the place they moved from. Chris listened, yet wasn't interested in the conversation. "i'm just glad that i've already made a new friend." Jack stated. Chris was surprised. Had the small conversation really make them friends? Not that he dis-approved.
"Well, thanks," chris said. "I'm glad to be your friend. maybe tommorrow, before you meet some of my other friends, you and i could get to know eachother more." Chris had no idea what he was saying. It all just came out. "sure! i'd like that."
When they had finished their dishes, they walked back into the dining room to see the adults shaking hands. "it was nice meeting you. i hope we can get together like this again. it was very fun." The lady looked over and motioned to jack. "Come on, we have to head home. it's getting late." Jack looked disappointed. "alright. well... see ya later chris." With that, they left the house. Chris was staring at the door when his father intruded his thoughts. "it is getting late, you should head upstairs and sleep." Chris did as he was told, yet all night he thought of jack. wondering how far the friendship would go

3. Introductions
Chris had woken up early and called rebecca. "Hey, get marcus and meet back ay my place in about 15 minuets. drag him out if you have to." When Chris finished, he hung up the phone and ran outside. it was only 11:00 in the morning, so surely jack was awake. He walked up to his neighbors house and rang the door bell. when th door opened, it was jack who answered.
"Hey! what's up?" He asked. "You think you could come to my place for a sec?" Chris said. "of course! i'll be there in about 10 minuets." Jack said, with a smile on his face. "Great! i'll see you then." Chris said before walking back home.
After 10 minuets, Chris had heard the door bell. He ran up and allowed jack in the house. "so, what was it that you needed me for?" Jack asked. Suddenly, the door bell rand again. "they're early" chris said as he opened the door. Rebbecca walked in, nearly dragging marcus through the door. "ok, so what's this about?" Rebbecca said. "I believe we are in for introductions. we'll get to know eachother by saying our names and things about eachother." Chris looked over at jack and replied, "why don't you go first?" Jack blushed from embarrassment. "how me how this works first."
Marcus sighed and walked up. "My name's marcus. iprefer being called mark, i like music tv, and games. Oh, by the way, i'm straight." When marcu said that, rebbecca punched him in the shoulder. "There's no need to freak the kid out!" She said as marcus yelped from his dead arm.
"My name is Rebbecca. You can call me Becca if you like. I like rain, Drama shows, love stories, and meeting new people." Marcus held back a laugh before stating, "that was the lamest introduction i've ever heard." Rebbecca looked a little annoyed, but she decided to let it go.
"erm... ok, i gues i'll give it a shot." Jack said. "My name's Jack and um... i like soccer, games, action shows, fight clubs, and um..." Jack wan't sure on what to say next, so he decided to say something personal. "and i'm confused on my orientation."
Chris was set back at the last comment. "well trust me, around here, you find yourself pretty easily." Chris laughed. "well, if were done here, i think i'll head back home and get more sleep." Marcus said. "see ya kid." Rebbecca scowled at marcus as he left. "well, it was nice meeting you, but i have chores to do, so bye." She said before she left. "Well, what now? chris asked. "My mom's gonna be home soon for lunch so i'd better head back and make her something, i'll see you afterwards though." Jack said as he left. Chris could've sworn he saw the boy blush before leaving. "well, see ya." He said after jack had left. Chris wasn't sure about much, but as he stared, he could feel his relativity towards jack, and this frightened him most.
