meeting the neighbours

Your mom (or guardian) was having a dinner party. She invited the whole neighborhood, and unfortunately, the whole neighborhood came. It was more of a regular party than a dinner party but you didn’t question it.

While you’re standing around, sipping on apple juice out of a wine glass, your mom comes up to you with.. a boy?.. “Honey! This is Peter. He just moved in the neighborhood. He lives right across the street from us!” While she’s rambling on about the boy and his family, the boy nervously looks at you.. a nervous smile on his face. You can tell that he’s visibly uncomfortable.

After she’s done rambling she says, “Well i’ll leave you two be, i think my casserole is burning..” She quickly walks away. For a moment, theres a awkward silence between you guys before the boy actually speaks. “I-.. I’m .. Peter.” He says, holding out his sweaty hand.

"Peter nervously smiled back at Yui and began to shift his weight from one foot to the other, trying to calm himself down." "H-Hi Yui.. It's nice to meet you too." "He said, finally finding his voice. He was slightly intimidated by her beauty, but he found her warm smile comforting and soothing. He tried his best to keep eye contact with her, but it was difficult with how nervous he was feeling. His hands were sweaty and his heart was racing. He had never felt like this before in his whole life."

"I moved from a small town in the countryside of Iowa." "Peter replied, still feeling slightly nervous but trying his best to keep up with the conversation." "It's quite different here in the city, everything seems much more fast-paced and exciting." "He smiled shyly, hoping that he wasn't rambling on too much." "Have you always lived here in the city, Yui?"

"Yes, I just graduated from high school last year and now I'm planning to attend college here in the city." "Peter replied, feeling slightly relieved that Yui was continuing the conversation. He was slowly starting to feel more comfortable around her, but he was still quite nervous." "Do you go to college too, Yui?"

"I understand how you feel about parties, Yui. I'm not a big fan of them either." "Peter replied, feeling a bit more confident now he had someone who he could relate to." "I'm planning to attend City University and I'll be living on campus. It's quite close to where we live actually, so it won't be too much of a hassle for me to travel to and from home." "He smiled nervously as he spoke, hoping that Yui found him interesting enough to continue talking to him." "What about you, Yui? Which college are you planning to attend?"

"Peter flushed as he heard Yui's words. The idea of carpooling with her sounded exciting, but it also made him much more nervous." "Y-Yeah, that would have been nice." "He stuttered, trying his best to hide his nerves." "Maybe we can still hang out sometime when we're both on campus though?" "He smiled shyly, hoping she would say yes."

"Peter felt a surge of excitement at the thought of hanging out with Yui. He had always been quite awkward when it came to making friends, so he could understand how she felt." "Y-Yeah, I'm not really good at making friends either, but I hope that college will change things for me." "He smiled nervously as he spoke, hoping that they would still be able to be friends despite their social anxiety." "Well, maybe we can start getting to know each other better now that we're neighbors?" "He asked tentatively, trying his best to gauge her reaction to his words."

"Peter felt a wave of relief wash over him as Yui smiled at him. He was glad that she was open to the idea of getting to know each other better." "Great, me too." "He smiled nervously back at her." "So, what are some of your hobbies, Yui?" "He asked, trying his best to keep the conversation going." "I like running and hiking. Sometimes I go to the park to admire nature or try out new recipes" She replied. "Sounds interesting." *Peter replied, feeling a bit more at ease as they talked. "I'm not really into running or hiking, but I do enjoy reading and playing video games. And I'm also interested in music and learning new things." "He said, hoping that she would find his hobbies interesting."

"Peter felt a rush of excitement as Yui said that she also played video games, although they had different preferences. He was relieved to find out that they had more in common than he had initially thought." "That's cool. What RPGs do you play? I'm a big fan of fantasy RPGs like Skyrim and The Witcher 3." "He said, smiling widely at Yui. "And I totally agree with you about learning new things. It's one of the reasons why I'm excited about going to college.""

"Peter listened to Yui talking about all the RPG games that she loves to play and he had never heard about some of them, but he was curious to learn more." "I haven't played most of the games that you mentioned. I usually stick to games like Final Fantasy, Persona, and Kingdom Hearts. But, I'm open to trying something new." "He grinned at Yui, feeling excited at the idea of playing RPG games with her." "Maybe we could play together sometime?"

"Peter felt a wave of happiness at Yui's response and her lovely smile. He could feel himself becoming more comfortable around her and he hoped that they could become good friends." "Great, I'm looking forward to it. Maybe we can exchange numbers and set something up?" "He suggested tentatively." "Or if you have a PSN account or something, we could play online." "He added, hoping that she wouldn't think that he was being pushy."

"Peter took down Yui's number and PSN ID eagerly, feeling grateful that she trusted him enough to share her contact details." "Thanks. I'll add you on PSN and send you a text so that we can set something up." *He said, smiling widely at her. "And if you ever need any guidance or help with games, feel free to ask me." "He added, feeling proud of his own gaming prowess."

"Peter felt a rush of excitement as Yui invited him to come up and see her gaming setup." "Yeah, that sounds great. I'd definitely love to see it." "He said, with a wide grin on his face. He walked with Yui towards her house, feeling a little nervous but also excited to see what kind of gaming set up she had. As they climbed up the stairs and entered her room, he looked around in awe at all the gaming peripherals and equipment she had. "Wow, this is a really cool setup you have here.""

"Peter looked at Yui with a sympathetic expression as she mentioned not having parents." "I'm sorry to hear that. I can't imagine what that's like," "He said, with a supportive tone." "But at least you have someone in your life who cares about you and wants to make you happy." "He added, trying to look at the positive side of things." "And this gaming setup is a testament to their love for you."

"Peter chuckled along with Yui, trying to picture what it must have been like for her guardian to suddenly inherit a 3-year-old." "I can imagine it was quite a shock. But it's great that she was there for you and has taken such good care of you all these years." "He commented with a smile, admiring the bond that they shared." "And it's obvious that she loves you very much." "He added, gesturing towards the gaming setup as evidence." "It must be really fun to play games on this."

"Peter smiled as Yui mentioned that the gaming setup made research easier." "Oh, that's true. I didn't even think about that." "He admitted, impressed by Yui's ingenuity." "What kind of research do you usually do on here?" "He asked, curious to know more about her interests and what she liked to learn about."

"Wow, that's impressive!" "Peter exclaimed, genuinely impressed by Yui's passion for learning and her breadth of interests." "Criminology and psychology are fascinating subjects. It sounds like you're really dedicated to educating yourself and becoming knowledgeable in what interests you." "He added, with a hint of admiration in his tone." "I think that it's really cool that you're so curious about the world and are always eager to learn new things." "He concluded with a smile."
