JEN’S POV

We had just moved to Brazil. Neither of us was happy to leave Australia, but we had no choice. Ruler was mom and dad, and they loved this country. Jenn and I were taking the last boxes inside when I saw a little boy with black hair that should have our old looking at me through the window of the house opposite ours. I immediately blushed. My sister turned to see what I looked and saw the little boy, and waved to him. He blushed and ducked, so that we couldn't longer see him. Jenn laughed:

–It should be like you, Jen.

–How so? - I asked

–Shy.

We put the box in the room and as I looked out the door was still open, I saw the boy standing in the garden. I smiled at him and he did the same, blushing a little. Jenn noticed and said:

–How about we talk with him?

– What? - She was crazy.

–Oh come on, he looks be cool.

She left our new home and I followed her. We crossed the street and stopped in front of him. I noticed that he had green eyes almost vivid as mine.

– Hi - she spoke to the boy.

–Hi- he seemed so embarrassed than I was.

–What's your name?

–John.

–I'm Jennette, but you can call me Jenn.

The strange thing was that he looked at me and not my sister. I must have seemed a chili while looked my shoes.

–Pleasure. - He said

–And she is Jennifer, but call her Jen.

–I can? - He say to me

I do not know how, but I answered:

–Yes.

He smiled and I couldn't avoid doing the same.

–Where do you come from? Surely not here. You speak in a different way.

Jenn seemed offended, but she kept talking to him gently:

–We are Australian.

–Seem more like German.

–Our mother was born there.

–And where learned Portuguese?

–Our father is from here. We also speak French and Spanish.

–Nice. But you don't speak? - he was staring at me.

–My sister is shy. I thought you were also the way you hid when saw us.

He blushed, but kept a firm voice:

–Well, I didn't expect you waved.

He returned to face me. Did have something on my face?

–Beautiful eyes - he told me

–Thank you. Their are also very beautiful. - I praised

–Maybe, but not so vivid as yours - He don't have cramp from smiling so much?

–Thank you.

–I'm just telling the truth.

Didn't know what to answer, then just smile.

– So I think we have to go. See you later John. - Jenn said, already dragging me back home.

She took me to our new bedroom, shut the door and looked slyly at me:

–I think someone just get a fan! - She laughed

–What? - How much a person could blush in one day?

– Don't saw that he was practically drooling for you?

–Don't be exaggerated, Jenn!

–I am not exaggerating! I'm just reporting a fact!

We spent the rest of the afternoon talking about our new neighbor. When was about 17:00, we saw a movement in his house. We went down to the room and saw a group of four boys of our age into the house of John. Without thinking twice, Jenn walked up there, dragging me with her.

We stopped at the door and my crazy sister asked:

–We can join the party? - Someday I'll end up killing her!

–Jenn, don't be rude!

–Don't worry - John said - Sure, may enter. We went in and saw a modern room, with two white sofas, where the boys were. They looked curious to us.

–Guys, these are Jennette and Jennifer, they have just moved into the house across the street. - John introduced us - and these are: Matthew, Will, Jake and Justin.

Matheus had a messy bronze hair and brown eyes. Will had the look of the kids we knew in Australia: blond hair that seemed tanned by sun exposure, almost transparent blue eyes, was tall and had the body of an athlete, you could see that he practice many sports. I bet he could surf. Jake had dark hair and eyes that change the honey to green depending on the light. Justin had red hair with a few freckles on her nose and gray eyes.

–Pleasure - we said together.

Jenn sat next to Will and then began to pull chat. Like me, she imagined that he could surf. We were right.

She got along well with the guys, but I was not very comfortable. John saw and asked me:

–Don't want to see my collection of miniature vintage cars?

–You collect vintage cars?

–I know that sounds kind of corny, but ...

–No, not tacky. - I interrupted him - In fact, I have some interest in them.

–Really?

I nodded.

It was not a lie, I really interested me a little for them.

We climbed the stairs that led to the upstairs, leaving Jenn and the boys continue their conversation.

We got to the John's bedroom, I sat on his bed and he caught a large wooden box. When opened, I saw that there were at least 120 miniatures. I was fascinated with it. He sat beside me to see the collection.

I have not noticed that John was approaching me until his face was three inches from mine. My hand began to sweat and he was almost kissing me when Justin appeared at the door.

–Oh, sorry to interrupt.

He went back down. But the weather had broken. I got up quickly and walked away from John.

–I better go. It's getting late.

–But you have got less than an hour!

–I know, but still have to get some things at home. It was a pleasure to see you, John.

I started to walk away but he grabbed my wrist.

–Wait! Look I'm sorry for before.

–No problem - Yes, had a problem!

–Really, I'm really sorry.

– Okay, John.

–Friends?

–Friends - smiles at him. -But I really have to go. True that I have to do somethings.

–Oh, right - he was still holding my wrist - Hey, where you will be attending school?

–In Monte-Carlo, two blocks away.

–Really? I also study there! What series are you?

– 4 th and you?

–I think we will be in the same class - he smiled I smiled back.

–See you soon then.

–That's okay - he finally let go of my wrist.

I went to the stairs leaving him at the door of his room, but when got there, I turned around and deposited a kiss on the cheek from John. He was paralyzed and his face was the color of a tomato.

I ran back up the ladder and down the stairs almost running too. In the room I gave a quick pros bye boys and pulled Jenn to the front door. She turned away from my arm and came toward Will. Shee gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek and handed him a paper that I bet had our phone number. When she closed the door, winked at him.

We got home and went straight to our bedroom. Jenn was about to give me an earful when I told him that I had almost kissed John.

We stayed up late talking about he and Will and I had a sure thing that day:
I was in love for the first time in my life.
