[b]Anna’s POV.[/b]

“Bye,” I waved at my mom, as she pulled out of the drive way, and drove back to civilization.

I sat on my dad’s porch. Great, a whole summer here… not to mention with a parent that I barely know. I haven’t seen my dad in over a year, and somehow he convinced my mom to actually let me stay here the whole summer. Out in the middle of nowhere…

Okay, I wasn’t exactly in the middle of nowhere, but as far as I know, my dad doesn’t have cable, or internet.
I’m pretty much going to die this summer.

I don’t know why I brought my laptop… I guess I’ll be taking a lot of pictures of how bored I am. Either that or brush up on my garage band skills… either way it’s going to be a very long and boring summer…

“Hey pumpkin! Why don’t you come inside and unpack?” My dad called from inside the house.

I went up to my “room”. It was more of a guest room than my own. It had faded grey walls with a small old school desk, an old smelly dresser, a rickety bed frame, and a slab of mirror screwed to the wall, with a bench under it. Of course, the mirror was too high for me to sit down and do my make-up.

Great.

Boring town, boring room, boring life, boring neighbours. Well, I hadn’t actually SEEN the neighbours, but I’m guessing they were boring like everyone else.

“HONEY! I’m going to the store! Be back later!” My dad yelled from somewhere outside.

I rolled my eyes and plugged in my laptop. Maybe someone was online… Oh wait. I don’t have internet!

Damnit!

I typed in the password to get into my personal account—like I needed it… I was the only one who used it.

Suddenly, and alert popped up.

“None of your trusted Internet connections are available. Would you like to connect to another called “Home Network”?”

OH. MY. GOD. Someone around me had wireless internet!
Of course I clicked the yes button, and BAM! I was connected with the real world!

After an hour of Myspace, I had enough of my I-net fix, and it was getting pretty hot in my room. Sighing, I went down the old wooden stairs, and down to the old kitchen. This whole house was old. Probably from the 1800’s…

I looked in the fridge, and all that was in there to drink was lemonade, beer, water, and diet coke. Diet coke it was…

I sat at the table and opened my coke, when a knock at the door brought me out of my thoughts.

“Great, Dad probably forgot his key…” I sighed to myself, walking over to the front door.

I looked out the window, only to find this really cute boy at my doorstep.

Hmm… maybe it won’t be so boring here after all. He probably has a girlfriend.

I opened the door, looking him up and down.
“Yes?”
“Um… hello. Does anyone at this…place… own a computer?” He asked shyly.
“Yep. Need to use one or something?” I asked, taking a sip of my coke and looking up at him.

“No, it’s just that someone hacked into my wireless connection…” He trailed off.
Oops…

“Oh, sorry. That would be me… I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to—it’s just well, my dad doesn’t have internet, and I plugged in my laptop, and it said there was a connection so I pressed yes, and then I got my internet fix, and well… sorry…” I said, cutting myself off after I realized I was rambling.

“Hah, don’t worry about it. So, are you like new here? I haven’t seen you before…” He smiled.

Wow, he had a gorgeous smile…

“Um… yeah… I’m only staying for the summer. It’s kind of boring…I’m Anna,” I smiled, offering my hand.

“Pete,” He shook my hand.

“Well… looks like this summer just got a whole lot more interesting.”

But I've got enough miles on my car
To fly the boys home on my own
But you know me: I like being all alone
And keeping you all alone
And the charts are boring
And the kids are snoring
And the girl's in a sling
You say you're not listening and I said I'm wishing...
And I said... I said...

Anna's POV
“Hah,” Pete smiled at me. “Yeah, looks like it has.”
“So, Pete, do you like living in this boring place?” I asked, stepping aside and allowing him to come in.

“Wilmette? Well, it’s not the best place… but I love all of the friends I have here,” He said sitting at the kitchen table.
“Hm, well I have none. It’s boring.” I sighed.

“What do you mean, Anna? You’ve got me! I’ll be your best friend! And it’s only boring because of the old people, but once you get to know the scene, it’s amazingly fun!”
“You’re a ritilan kid, aren’t you? I mean you don’t know me, yet you’re the best friend I have in this place. Well, with my luck… my dad won’t let me go anywhere. Back home I’d be clubbing now,” I laughed.

“I guess I’m a Ritilan kid… I’m usually really shy! But I had coffee this morning, so… Back home? Where are you from?”

“Hah, I’m from Chicago. It’s amazing there!” I exclaimed.

Pete gave me an awkward look.

“What?” I asked, hoping he didn’t think I was crazy or something.

“You’re, like, 5 minutes away from Chicago,” He said, still looking at me with a confused expression.

“Really? It took my mom and me 2 hours to get here!” I said. “OH! No way! She drove me around in circles to make me think we were going somewhere far!”

Pete just sat there laughing.

“Peter! Don’t laugh! It’s not funny!”

“Yes it is! I mean how do you not know the Chicago area?” He smiled that pretty grin of his.

“ I don’t know…” I said, sitting back in my chair.

“How tall are you?” Pete asked me out of the blue.
“Why does it matter?”
“I have this thing about height…”
“What, am I too tall for you or something?” I asked.
“No, I’m just wondering.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m very short and I’d like to know if I’m taller than you…” he explained.

“I’m 5’4. How tall are you?”
“5’7. Okay, taller. I think you’re about my friend’s height.”
“Girlfriend?” I asked, a little hurt. Hurt? I just met the boy!
“Nope, best friend, who’s a boy. Patrick,” he smiled.

Whew…

“Oh.”

“How old are you?”
“Another question?”
“Shut up!” he laughed.
“17, you?”
“I’ll be 18 next Friday,” he grinned proudly.
“Ahh, big birthday. What should I get you, best friend?” I smiled. God, his smile was contagious.

“A hooker, and a bunch of p**n!”
My face: O_o.
“KIDDING!” he laughed.

“Oh… well a hooker is always an option…” I smiled.

“HONEY, I’M HOME!” my dad yelled, opening the door.
“HI DAD!” I yelled back.

Pete had a nervous look on his face.

“Hey can you help unload the grocer—who’s this?” my father asked, nodding toward Pete.

“Hi, Sir. I’m Pete, Anna’s best friend!” Pete said, standing and offering his hand to my dad.
“Jason Urie, pleased to meet you,” Dad responded, looking from me to Pete. “Are you guys an item?” He asked after a while.

“What’s that even mean?” I asked, giving him a look to shut up and go away.

“It means dating, Anna. So are you guys dating?”

I shook my head. “Nope.”

I thought I heard a mutter from Pete, but I couldn’t quite make it out.

“Oh… Well I’m going to go to unload the groceries… USE PROTECTION!”

This was too embarrassing! I put my head in my hands in embarrassment.
“Hey, don’t worry. We all have weird parents…” Pete said, patting my back.
“Hah, you have no idea,” I shook my head.

“Oh shit! I’ve gotta go! Um… Pat and I are going to a show tonight, you wanna come?” He asked.

“Oh… sure! Uhm… I’ll ask for the car…” I said, mentally thinking of an excuse why my dad doesn’t need it.
“Oh, no worries I live 2 houses down! I’ll pick you up, say, seven?” he smiled, once again.
“Oh, okay. Yep I’ll be ready.”

And just like that, he was gone.
