This choice: Leroy sees more of his neighbors. • Go Back...Chapter #6More Neighbors by: Sly F   "I'll be there in just a minute, mom!" Tim called back.
He was about to say goodbye to Leroy when he noticed the moving van that had just parked next door. His jaw dropped when he saw the young women moving between the van and the porch, arms filled with boxes.
He began eagerly hitting Leroy's shoulder to get his attention and pointing to the girls.
"Hot!" he said. "Hot new neighbors! And they look like they're about our age. We should go talk to them."
Leroy looked over. The young ladies were indeed very attractive. But the obvious way Tim was staring was embarrassing him. Especially when one of the girls, a tall, buxom blonde, lifted her head to stare back. Leroy quickly looked away.
"Come on!" Tim insisted. "Let's go introduce ourselves."
"I don't think so," Leroy said.
But Tim grabbed him by the arm and practically dragged him over.
"What kind of neighbors would we be if we didn't welcome them to our street?"
As they drew closer, Leroy noticed the clothes the girls were wearing looked really expensive, as did some of the objects they were carrying into the house. What were they doing moving into such a simple house on such a normal block instead of some fancy mansion somewhere?
Tim was bee-lining towards the blonde when a shorter, less curvaceous girl with short black hair stepped in his way, scowling at him. Her jet black hair had thick white lines throughout it and her skin had a deep olive glow. She was still holding a box that looked very heavy, and the way she squared her shoulders and stared the boys down with her piercing brown eyes was actually a little intimidating.
"What are you doing in our yard?" she demanded. "What do you want?"
Tim, who had been so enthusiastic to come over and talk to these girls a moment ago, was now moving his lips but no sound was coming out.
Leroy sighed as he realized he was going to have to do the talking.
"Hi," he said, trying to put on his friendliest smile. "I'm Leroy Rogers, and this is Tim Handal. Tim lives in the house next door."
"So what?" the dark haired girl said. "Can't you see we're busy right now?"
Two more dark-haired girls emerged from the house empty-handed. The larger of the two had alert eyes as she noticed the conflict and swiftly walked over, a shorter and skinnier girl who resembled her at her side.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"That's what I'm trying to find out," the girl holding the heavy box said.
"I'm Leroy, and this is Tim. We're your new neighbors and we just came over to say hi."
"I'm Kameko," the heavier girl said. "And this is my little sister Tatsumi."
While Kameko's short black hair looked natural, Tatsumi's longer black hair had the slightly too lustrous and too consistent appearance of having come from a bottle.
"This is Bianca," Kameko said, indicating the girl who had taken it upon herself to be the group's spokesperson as she continued her introductions. "That's Celeste." She pointed to the stacked and statuesque blonde. "And that's Scarlett."
An extremely feminine figure with hair and eyes both the color of fire gave a small wave, nearly dropping the heavy box of treasures she was carrying.
"Timothy!" Claudia's voice shouted out. "Timothy Handal! I did not spend hours over that hot stove just so your food could get cold and stale on your plate!"
"I'd better go," Tim said.
He turned and ran off with as much dignity as he could muster, which wasn't much at all, leaving Leroy alone with the girls.
