'Sunny, Bri, come down now or we'll leave you behind!' Gail shouted
up the stairs. Sunny ran a brush through her hair, (she'd already changed
out of travelling gear) then ran downstairs to join her family.
After waiting for Bri to come, the Jamieson family walked next door,
Ellie jumped up and rang the doorbell. Diana answered the door and showed
them to the living room where her family was.
Taylor looked up from his book as he heard his mum enter the room. He guessed the people with her where that family from Australia.
As Diana led them into the room, Bri gave Sunny a triumphant grin, she'd
been right, they had moved next to Hanson. Sunny saw Bri's grin and almost
burst out laughing as Bri checked her hair in the hall mirror before entering
the living room. A man stood up, who she guessed was Mr Hanson, He came
over to Gail and greeted her.
'Gail, I haven't seen you in ages,'
'Hello Walker, these are my daughters Sunny, Bri and Ellie, and my
little baby boy, Mattie,'
'I heard little Andrea stayed Down Under,'
'Well she's not exactely little anymore, but yes she stayed in boarding
school,'
Zac listened, bored out of his mind, while his parents and Mrs Jamieson talked. He looked around at his new neighbors, and found that one of them was trying to attract his attention, he waved.
'Sunny,' Bri nudged her elder sister, ' Zac waved at me,'
Sunny smiled at her sister, humoring her, she lent against the doorpost
wishing she'd brought a book with her.
Diana noticed that the children were getting a little restless,
'Ike, Taylor, introduce everyone to the Jamieson kids and show them
around our house will you?'
They nodded and Ike led the kids out of the room into the backyard,
Tay waited behind as one of them had stopped at the bookshelf and was looking
at the titles.
'You like reading?' he asked
Sunny turned around and saw who asked her the question, it was a boy around her age with blond hair, and those eyes, blue like calm water, you could get lost in them.
Taylor just stared at who had turned around, she had long auburn hair that was flowing free around her shoulders, her eyes were a deep blue, he had never seen eyes that beautiful before.
'Umm, yeah,' Sunny answered his question, 'I'm Sunny,'
'Hi, I'm Taylor,' he introduced himself,
'Yeah, I know, my best friends, are obsessed with you and your
band,'
'They are?'
'yeah, I've never even heard your music so I don't know what all the
fuss is about,'
'Oh, well come outside and meet my family,'
Sunny followed Taylor outside to where her sisters had already met
the other Hanson children.
