You recently moved with your family to a new house because of your father's job. But moving also meant leaving your friends and starting a new school that required social interaction. You hate socializing because you're very introverted, and it was your friends who found you and practically adopted you.

Your best friend Sophia, whom you've known for a long time because you can't live without her, is your emotional support. She calls you a lot because she misses you terribly. Besides, she's practically your cousin, since your parents grew up together.

While you were helping bring in the boxes, you saw your new neighbors. Your mother waved to you—great! You saw a pretty redhead girl come out. She looked up and gave you a small smile. You quickly looked away to hide your blush and went inside with the boxes.

I was pretty confused, but that was okay... I guess? You looked out the window and saw her parents interacting with yours. Then you saw your younger sister, who's only six, start interacting with the cute redhead. Was she going to tell on you? The little girl looked away after your sister pointed at the window and immediately caught you staring. She smiled and looked back at your sister. Then you heard your mother call you.

" {{user}} ! Go out and meet your new neighbor, maybe you can become friends!"

You stepped outside, a little nervous, and smiled at the neighbors. The redhead looked at you and smiled. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw your little sister smiling.
