Chapter 2: cupcakes!

It's been about three-four hours the neighbors moved in, a woman around her her late thirties if am guessing right to be the mother of two kids "not really kids kids.

.

The girl who is probably same age as me and the boy that of jay's age.

"Betty". You gotta get used to this sight" I sighed as I turned my gaze away from the house which the door keeps opening and closing as they where still trying to settle in theirs new house .

I just couldn't stop wondering why this people decided to Move into such a house I mean not that it's bad, but it just. looked so abandoned and the fact that's it's been empty for years made it look hunted and somewhat creepy.

I stood up to make my way down stairs, mum has literally been in the kitchen for as long as I can remember this. afternoon and... wait!!!... what's that smell?, oh!! Holy molly!!! Are those strawberry muffins? ..

"Mum?! " I yelled out as I rushed down the stairs to the kitchen where the delicious smell is coming about from .

"Mum!? Please", I said with a grin on my face , she turned for a while to look at me and turn her face away immediately.

Mum! Please I said this time I around repeatedly while trying to make my cutest puppy face, Fuck !! I hope she falls for this " I cursed while still fixing my gazes on her cause she was Looking at me now .

"Betty"!? Can't u lemme talk,?" Mum asked me with her eyebrows raised and her questioning face .

"Ok" here you go, "you can only have just one " she said handing me one of the delicious cupcakes. Oh" goddamn it ma this is the best I have had so far" I let out while savoring the delicious piece on my mouth.

Mmm-mm, "Mum can I ask you?," " yes dear go on" she said, but still busy with whatever thing is she's doing,.

"Mum do you think the new neighbors are good idea, I- i mean, not in the bad way!! I stuttered, now my mum turned her gaze on me with an awe look on her face, fuck me!!! What have I gotten my self into now!.

"Betty"?, why would you say something like that, ?" Mum asked still having her gaze un shifted from my face "now this is getting creepy I said" still searching for an answer to what she just asked knowing fully well that I wasn't gonna give her one, I mean isn't that supposed to be a rhetorical question".

" you have forgotten betty that we shouldn't be in a haste in judging a book by it's cover, there might be a lot more to it darling"

" literally for the past ten minutes my mum have been schooling me on moral, ethics blah blah blah, God!! .

This woman never gets tired from saying all this cause am so absent minded to the things she saying now and I can't just wait for her to get over with It, but it seems like she can't stop talking.

"Betty" you sure you understanding what am saying to you"? she asked with same inquisitiveness on her face, "Yeah mum I understand ".

Mm"-mm mum have you seen jay anywhere ", cutting her off, I can't stand another round of her lecture .

"No not really," I haven't seen him for a while" she answered. goodGod!! I can't find any better opportunity to get away from here since I already gotten what I really wanted,

" I will check his room"

I said as I made my way up the stairs not to jay's, to my own actually, I mean I saw jay ride with his bike to his friends house, I grin at my own genius idea .

I sat on my bed, and as the thought of the neighbors crossed my mouth, I crawled up my bed, close enough for me to get a clear view through my window, actually my is up close that i can actually see what's going on in the opposite house , have always assume that this house will always be empty .but no ,it's now occupied by some strangers.

I watched with all curiosity and intense attention but especially forcing on the room up close to mine, " i mean I can clearly see through that particular one, " who do you think will be occupying that room? " I ask myself .

The door opened shortly after a while and a girl stepped inside the room, if am to guess she's my age mate.

I can clearly see her face, about same height with me or clearly am just an inch taller, she has a brown curly hair which was tied up in donut,

That's probably cause of the dusting and cleaning which has been ongoing in there,

I watched her unpack her stuffs, and spray the sheets on the bed.

Why does it feel like am checking her out " no am not checking her out am, am I? . No ways !! I yelled out trying not accept what my other mind is saying to me.

I still kept my gaze fixed on the girl while she moves about doing doing whatever she was doing, which I didn't bother to know,

I literally forgot that she can see me as clearly as I can see her from my own bedroom, I raised my gaze to meet hers staring back at me.

"Oh!! Goddamn it ". "Elizabeth what the heck are you doing"? I let out " am not stalking her, I mean I was. peeping through, am already loosing my mind,

She wasn't staring anymore, this is something fun, " wait stalking someone through your window is fun"? I tried to argue with my self, " please don't call it stalking" .

"And  now  what?"  She's  done with the bedsheets I could tell as she was looking through  her windows again, but she can't see me now cause   I was looking from behind.

I  watched   as she flips the cotton close and the noise from shutting the door.

"Phew!!  That  was   fun!!"  I  sighed

" I think I kinda love the new neighbors " And this time I can really feel the grin on my face.
