Finding A Home
Elizabeth's P.O.V I boredly looked out the window. Currently, Arite may or may not have been putting out another kitchen fire. At least it wasn't tea this time, I still don't know how he managed to do it the first time. Fall break had just started today, and I already had nothing to do. Al was busy and couldn't come over, and Artie was practicing for Thanksgiving. Thank god that it wasn't just him cooking, apparently he had another brother that would also be cooking along with Al. So, I may not die of food poisoning yet.It was October already, but it was still fairly warm out. I thought about taking Johnny, but decided that I’d wait until Al could come over; he said that he’d teach me some cool skateboarding tricks. I thought about what to do until something caught my eye. “No way!” I practically yelled. I jumped up and ran outside.
Arthur’s P.O.V I looked over to Elizabeth as she yelled. Before I could ask her what was wrong however, she suddenly ran out of the house. I blinked. This child did a lot of weird things, but suddenly running out of the house was not one of them. I ran out after her,
Elizabeth P.O.V I sat up in the tree and watched the people moving in. Normally, something like this wouldn't really catch my attention, but this was a little different. The couple had a kid. Now, once again that would be no big deal, pretty much every kid in town avoids me, but I didn't recognize this kid.He was helping move some of the smaller boxes into the house, though you could tell he wanted to move some of the bigger ones too. He had kind of messy brown hair. From my spy-branch, I couldn't tell what color his eyes were. “Elizabeth!” I heard a certain british voice yell. I looked down to see Artie running around calling for me.I rolled my eyes and watched him for a few seconds. The new boy’s mom came up and started talking to him. I thought now might be a good time to sneak down. I slid down and landed a little harder than I should have, and scratched my knee a little. I looked at the small amount of blood coming out of the scratch and sighted. “Well, thats lovely.” I sighed and stuck my hands in my pockets before moving over to Artie and the kid’s mom. “Why are you yelling so loud? I’m right here.” I said, getting both of there attention.Artie sighed, “Don't do that to me. Honestly, I turn away for one second and you're gone.” The kids mom laughed.“Oh, my sons the same way. Turn your back and he’s run off into the woods or climbed up on the roof.” She looked at me and smiled, “So, I guess its safe to assume that this is Elizabeth.” I nodded and she smiled, “How old are you?” I saw Artie prepare himself for me to make a sarcastic answer and smiled.“Eight, I’m in the second grade.” Artie sighed, obviously happy that I had answered seriously for once.“Oh, thats how old Leo is! Maybe you two could be friends; we just moved here from kind of far away, so he had to leave his old friends behind.” She called her son over and he put down the box he was carrying before running over.“Yeah mom?” He asked. I looked at him and stepped a little closer to Artie. Artie looked down at me with a surprised look on his face. After a minute, he just gave me an amused smile. Okay okay, I may or may not be super freakin shy. And I may or may not just be good at acting like I’m not. There. Happy?“These are our neighbors; Mr. Kirkland and Elizabeth.” Leo looked at us and smiled.“Coool. I’m Leo.” He said, his green eyes lit up happily. Then he saw my shirt. “No.Way. You like Pokemon?!” I nodded; my shirt had a pikachu on it. “Sweet! Wanna see my cards?” Then he glanced back at all the boxes, “You know, if I can find them...” I smiled.“No worries bro. I can show you mine, and when you get yours out you can show me yours. Then we could fight!” I said, suddenly exited. I loved pokemon. Leo liked pokemon. This was going to be a beautiful friendship, I could already tell. He nodded.“Yeah! Lets go!” I took his hand and we ran over toward my house.“Wait here.” I said running upstairs to my room. When I came down with my cards, he was looking at a game case.“You.Like.C.O.D?” He said.“Hecks yeah I do!”He smiled at me and wiped an imaginary tear from his eye. “Elizabeth, I do believe this is the start of a beautiful friendship.” I smiled and began to show him my cards. After that, we played some Call of Duty. Man, Leo was good!
Arthur’s P.O.V After speaking with Mrs. Kalvious, I decided to leave her to unpacking and go check on Elizabeth and Leo. As soon as I opened the door I was met with some very familiar sounds. “Why won't these zombies die!?”“So many zombies! There chasing me! I’m going to- aaaaand I’m dead.”“Its okay Leo, I got this, The rounds almost over!” Elizabeth paused, “ Aaaaaaaand, I’m dead too.” They were both silent for a minute, but then they started laughing. “You wanna start another round?” Elizabeth asked. Leo nodded and they began.“Ahhhh sweet! I love this map!”“Yeah, this ones one of my favorites!”“Really?! Man, your getting cooler every minute!”I smiled, it was nice to see Elizabeth with a friend her own age. Through, I wasn't sure how I felt about it being a boy.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hey guys! Its been a while since I've said anything down here....Well, that might be becuse I really have nothing to say. ^.^" Anyways, I have a qustion for you guys. Do you think I'm moving the stroyline along to fast? Please tell me what you think in the comments below!
