text: An hour later, you pull into Dawnbrook, and find you were far too optimistic. The town is a shitty series of low buildings. Hunter looks up from his Kindle briefly, before shrugging and looking back down. You pull up to one of the many, generic looking houses pulling into the driveway.You can already see faces peeking out from windows at the new arrivals. Dad opens the car door and lugs two suitcases up to the door and fishes through his pocket for his keys and opens the door.
  
  
  "Here we are! Home!" he says cheerfully, obviously trying to raise his children's spirits.
  
  
  You follow Dad inside, dropping your backpack on the floor.
  
  
  "I'll begin unpacking, you guys can get settled in or go meet the neighbors or explore," Dad says.
  > You go outside
  You walk outside, and two snot-nosed, dirty kids with long, uncombed brown hair appear, staring blankly at you. They both have shoulder-length hair and wear mud-stained clothes, a boy and a girl.
  
  
  "Who are you?" one asks as she begins to pick her nose.
  
  
  "Hazel. I'm new here."
  
  
  "Where you from?"
  
  
  "New York."
  
  
  "My dad says New York's only full of greedy Jews and angry Negroes."
  
  
  "Jesus Christ, kid, maybe your dad's a prick," you say aghast, staring at the pair.
  
  
  A tall boy who seems to be your age jogs over, grabbing the two children. He has short brown hair and wears shorts and a t-shirt, both of which are far too small for him, as well as an awkward smile that stares at you.
  
  
  "Hi. S-S-Sorry if these t-two were bothering y-you. TJ, Emma, go b-b-back inside," the boy stutters.
  
  
  The pair of kids shrug and run off. The boy extends a hand, which you grasp and shake.
  
  
  "I'm Carter," he says, smiling.
  
  
  "I'm Hazel."
  
  
  "So, d-did you just-m-m-move in?"
  
  
  "Yeah, I did."
  
  
  "Cool. What g-grade are you i-in?"
  
  
  "10th."
  
  
  "Oh! Me too! W-when are you star... starting?"
  
  
  "Day after tomorrow."
  
  
  "Cool. I guess I'll s-see you then. It was a... a pleasure to meet you," he smiles.
  
  
  Carter rushes after his siblings, and you watch as he jogs off. You hear Dad yell from your house, and turn to see him.
  
  
  "Hey, sweetie. The house is pretty barren, so we're going to go out to eat and I'll pick up groceries in the morning. I saw a pizza place in town. Do you want to go?"
