The new neighbourhood

"we're moving into a new neighbourhood within the next three days " Derrick, Elsa's father intoned.

"Wow dad what's the rush? " Elsa relied questioningly

"There's no rush but I think we've got to get settled before school re-opens ,so you can get started in your new school " Derrick explained at length. Just then, Elsa's Mom Patricia walked in alongside Elsa's little brother Benjamin who was five years old. Benjamin is a really cute boy with his blonde hair, pink lips and sky blue eyes. He took on his father's alluring tone and really looked handsome with his new haircut.

"Elsa please can you help take your little brother upstairs for a shower before dinner? "her mom asked

"Okay mom" Elsa said herding Benjamin up the stairs.

" And when you're done come help me out in the kitchen "her mom called to her.

"Okay mom " Elsa replied, her voice sounding over the banisters. ########################

The sun shone brightly as Elsa and her parents were packing up their things to move into their new home. The house was splendid looking and Elsa was happy getting a large room all to herself.

"Elsa! Elsa! " Elsa heard her name being called and she turned around slowly to find --------

"Elsa! "the voice sounded distinct jolting Elsa out of her reverie.

"Mom I'm coming "Elsa said as she hurried down the stairs.

"Can you help me get some sugar and coffee cream from the nearby kiosk? "

"OK mom". Elsa said taking the money her mom gave her as she walked out of the house into the bright sunshine ."This new environment sure is lovely " Elsa thought to herself as she walked into the kiosk. After getting the items her mother requested for, she turned around and left the shop.

" uuuuuuh" Elsa said breathing in the warm air. She turned around sharply as she felt a slight tap on her shoulder

"you dropped something " the boy who tapped her said handing over the fallen item t her

"Thanks " Elsa said as she raised her gaze from his hands to his face. He had the most mesmerizing set of blue eyes and long artistic fingers.

"you must be new in this neighborhood " the boy offered breaking her out of her thoughts.

"uh- yes"

"I'm Jeffrey but you could simply call me Jeff "

" I'm Elsa"

"Nice to meet you Elsa "

"Nice to meet you too" Elsa replied amicably .

"so where do you stay " Jeffrey asked

"I stay in three houses away "

"the one with the red tiling " Jeffrey asked

"yes"

"Wow! my house is the second house from yours " Jeffrey exclaimed.

" so that makes us neighbors " Elsa offered

"Well yeah " Jeffrey answered

"see you around then. I've got to get this items home to my mom before dinner " Elsa added as an afterthought.

"Good bye then"

"Yeah bye" Elsa said as she jogged quickly home.

#############################

"Wow, the neighborhood looks nice and the neighbors are nice I hope my new school would look as nice as this". Elsa said to herself as she was soon lost in daydreaming of her new school and wishing that Jeff would also be attending.
