A car raced by Maya, splashing her in cold water. It was always busy in Bedford Avenue. She looked at the traffic building up, smoke filling the air in a grey fog. Rain seemed to love Bedford Avenue she thought, bitterly regretting not bringing her umbrella.
She checked her phone, mindlessly scrolling through messages and found her friends taking a lot of space in the group chat. She groaned and kept her phone back in her pocket. Harley and Diana, her neighbours, had been best friend ever since she could remember. She always felt like the third wheel whenever she was around them. And they were always talking. Normally just the two of them. It would go on for hours and Maya was sick of it. She secretly wished she was Harley, at least then she'd not feel as left out.
As she walking she glanced over at her new neighbours house. All the lights were off and the curtains were drawn but her neighbour was inside. She heard him. Her new neighbour was always a tad bit weird. She saw him wearing a very expensive Rolex that her teacher recently lost and he always shut the curtains and the lights. In the night, much to Maya's annoyance, there would be strange loud noises coming from his house. And when her dad had tried to welcome him to the town, he just said "No thank you." and slammed the door in his face. What a weirdo.
