"Oh Lord," Amanda muttered, "I’m not going to hear the end of it now." "You hush, I noticed you were a little preoccupied at the restaurant yourself there." "I was not," Amanda insisted. "Yah sure whatever." "Oh shut up, look Nate’s here," Amanda told her changing the subject as she pulled into the driveway.

"Hey girls," he greeted them as they pulled up. "Hey," they replied in unison. It took them almost 2 hours to unload everything, but when they had finished they had only a few cuts and bruises. Nate stayed a little while to rest and cool down, then he left saying he wanted to make it home before dark.

Amanda thanked her cousin numerous times and gave him some money for dinner. After he left she looked at Manda and said, "there is no way I’m unpacking now, lets go play a game of 1-on-1 at our new hoop." Manda looked at her curiously. "You don’t like sports." "I know but hey I’m in a new place might as well try something new." They searched through the boxes until they found the ball and then ran outside. After about 30 minutes Manda was royally kicking Amanda’s butt, but they were having fun. So much fun in fact that they didn’t realize that the blondish boy the had seen earlier was watching them.

"Hey watch this," Manda said. She backed up and ran towards the hoops leaping through the air slam dunking the ball. It would have been great but as soon as she landed she crumpled to the ground yelping in pain. Amanda just stood there in shock. Suddenly their cute neighbor was at Manda’s side. "Are you okay," he asked concerned.

She nodded, "it only hurts a little," she lied as she tried not to cry. He offered her his arm and helped her stand, she grimaced in pain and suddenly became very dizzy. "Manda!!" was the last thing she heard before everything went black.
