Alright! :)

Name: Eden Smith

Appearance: http://www.mrwallpaper.com/pretty-gir...

Personality: Eden is a very wise person, she's usually called an 'old soul' because of how wise and mature she is. At first she can seem very morbid, brutal, harsh, blunt sarcastic and witty. But once you get to know her she becomes daring, fun, crazy, caring, kind, loving, confident and an amazing friend.

Awesome! I'll start :)

Eric walked outside to put a box of donation clothes in his mom's car when he noticed a moving truck parked in front of the house next to his. He ran back into the house. "Hey mom! Someone bought the Huntington's old house!"

Eden leaned against the truck, her arms crossed and looked at the house emptily, something was missing.
Maybe her compassion or excitement?
She looked around to her mom as she said thank you to the delivery men," Isn't it lovely sweetie?". Eden looked back at the house and said sarcastically," It's great". Her mother gave her a look and walked toward it.

Eric's mom poked her head out of her bathroom upstairs, "I can't hear you!" He ran up the stairs and plucked his sister off the banister to keep her from sliding down. "Aw come on Eric!" He smiled at her and knocked on his mom's bedroom door. "We have neighbors," he said before she could ask anything. She walked down to the end of the hall to the window and looked out. "Well would you look at that. Interesting. Maybe I'll bake them something." Her eyebrows scrunched together. "Don't worry about it mom, you've got to go to work. I'll do it."

Eden observed the house again, god she already hated it. She wanted to be back home, not here. She pushed herself off of the car and then went around the back to get her side bag. Eden sighed heavily and said to herself," Here we go". She walked up the porch and into the house.

Eric left his mom to finish getting ready for work and walked back downstairs. "Hey trouble maker. Want to help me bake some cookies?" He asked his younger sister, Lela. She grinned and thrust her hands up in response. He picked her up and walked into the large kitchen. "What kind should we make?" He asked as he set her down on the counter. "CHOCOLATE CHIP!" He chuckled. "Calm down, crazy," he tickled her and she giggled loudly.

Eden walked up the stairs quickly, she searched for the best bed room and claimed it immediately. She shouted dibs and called it hers before her mother was even up here, but she heard a sad yell in response which made her laugh. After all the unpacking and sorting her mother was in the shower and Eden was laying on the sofa in the living room.

Lela and Eric finished the cookies and Eric put them on a paper plate. He put Lela down and grabbed her hand. "Want to go give these to the neighbors with me?" She shrugged and said "I guess," a response she learned from him. That made him laugh and they walked out the door to the next house. He let Lela ring the doorbell and they waited.

Eden suddenly heard the doorbell go.
"I'll get it!", she shouted. Her mother called back saying," It's not like I can get it anyway".
Eden laughed to herself and opened the door to be greeted by a attractive guy and a adorable little girl.
"Hi there", Eden smiled. She observed the cookies and immediately knew they were her neighbours.

Lela hid behind Eric's leg but smiled up at the girl. "We're your neighbors," explained Eric. "My mom is really big on neighborly kindness so we made these cookies for you." He smiled at her and realized how beautiful she was. She looked about his age too. "Are you going to school?"

Eden looked at the little girl and smiled at her softly, she was adorable! She looked to the boy and smiled also," Wow, thank your mom". She softly took away the cookies from him and felt his hand skim hers. "Oh yeah! I'm going to some school named Westbury? Yes! Westbury high school". She looked at them both and thought she'd be neighbourly too," Do you guys want to come in?".

"Actually, I made them and they'll be the best cookies you've ever tasted." He picked up Lela and stepped inside after the girl. "Oh! I'm Eric, by the way. I didn't get your name. And I also go to Westbury so I'd be happy to show you around on the first day!"

Eden laughed like a dork and closed the door behind her," Thank you then, for the cookies and neighbourly welcome and showing me around". She gestured for them to follow her into the kitchen, she smiled at Eric and said," Im Eden". Then she looked at the little girl," And what is your name, cutie?".

Eric smiled. She had a glorious laugh. It was full of life. "That's a beautiful name. Come on sis. You know your name, why don't you tell her." She looked down and said "Lela. L-E-L-A." She smiled up at Eden before burying her face in Eric's shoulder.

Eden smiled at the little girl," You have a lovely name, Lela". She leaned on the counter in the middle of the kitchen and grinned at Lela and Eric," Do you guys want anything?". What was wrong with her? She was never this friendly, she always seemed morbid but somehow she felt good.

Eric put Lela down and leaned back against the counter, smiling at Eden. "Thanks, but we don't want to be too imposing. Come on Lela." He held out his hand. And she grabbed it but loudly whispered up at him, "But I want some juice."

Eden heard Lela and suddenly a smirk was plastered on her face, she had her hands in front of her and she looked as innocent as a flower. "Well then", she continued wickedly," You will get your juice, Lela. Come pick out the one you want", Eden offered her hand to the little girl and smiled ever so softly.

Eric chuckled and shook his head. He walked around the island to sit down as Eden opened the fridge and grabbed some juice from Lela. "So what's your story?" He asked Eden.

While Eden handed a juice carton to Lela she looked over at Eric and said," My story? Hmm, well. I'm fatherless, I move around a lot because my mom can't seem to stick to one job or a decent relationship. It's this never ending chick flick", Eden rolled her eyes and gave Eric a dark humoured look.

Eric stood up and walked over to her. He looked into her eyes, hoping that they portrayed the empathy he felt for her. He knew all too well how it was to be fatherless with a mother always working. "I'm sorry." He couldn't think of anything else to say, but he thought that it might just be enough.

Eden looked at Eric with an amused look, she shrugged and said," There's no need to be, I'm used to it now". She gave him a humored look and then stood straight," Whats yours, Eric? Everyone seems to have a story right?". Someone always had a story to feel sorry for or feel bad about, why wasnt there ever a happy story? Or a normal one?

Eric ran a hand through his hair and sighed. "Well. My dad left my mom when she was pregnant with Lela. Luckily, my mom had gotten a degree and now she's a secretary for an attorney. She is always gone so I've practically raised Lela. I've lived here my whole life, but I don't really have friends. No one cares enough to know me, so I don't try."

Well...that shut Eden up very quickly. She looked at the little girl and wondered why anyone would leave her. Who would leave a pregnant women who already had a child to raise? Eden gulped and then looked at Eric," Your dad seems like an ass". She quickly looked at Lela to see if she heard. Luckily she didn't, she was distracted with something else in the kitchen.

Eric chuckled. "Well yours doesn't seem much better. and I'm sorry but your mom doesn't seem too grand either. my dad sucks but my mom's amazing. She's so strong." he said with awe. he smiled at Eden. "Well aren't we an odd pair."

Eden looked at him and shrugged," My moms nice, she just has a lot of difficulties that come along with her". Eden smiled and then laughed softly," Yeah, pretty odd but similar". It was weird that both of them didn't have a dad.

"You seem to be the only person who kinda understands what I'm going through." he said softly. "You'll learn to hate this town pretty quickly. everybody's so 'perfect.' No one cares enough to know important things about you. Just what they see at school."

Eden looked at him, observing and trying to see who he was. He seemed like a popular kid, but he stated he wasn't.
"Well Eric, it's a shame that I don't care what people think. As long as I'm happy then why would I?", she smiled. She walked closer to him and poked his chest softly," You shouldn't care either".

((what color are her eyes?))

He smiled as she poked him in the chest. She seemed kind of upset and aloof when he first met her but she seemed to be warming up to him. He was glad, she was gorgeous and he hoped they could be friends. "You're right. But the problem is that I don't know if I'm really happy." He almost winced at how whiny he sounded, but it was the truth.

((A jade green))

Eden smiled and looked at him softly," Does anyone truly know what happiness is? We have this image in our head of what it might be, of what happiness consists of. Why aren't you happy?". Eric was bringing a lot of things out of her, and usually she was ever like this.

"I guess happiness could be different for everyone. As to why I'm not happy, I'm confused. I don't know what I'm doing with my life, I don't know if I'm important. Obviously my dad didn't love me enough to stick around. Sometimes I would think it was my fault that he left. I feel inadequate and no one really cares about me except for my mom and sister. What if there's something wrong with me and I just drive people away?" He shook his head. He couldn't believe he was sharing all this with a girl he just met.

Eden looked at him sadly, sympathetically. How could she respond to something like that? Was she supposed to tell him everything would be okay or tell him the painful truth?
Eden looked at him, putting every emotion into that look," I don't know, Eric. But that's life. It has it's ups and downs and sometimes even it's crappy moments. Maybe your dad did leave you because he didn't care or maybe there was another reason, you'll never know. But don't be quick to make judgement".

Eric looked at Eden, grateful for her honesty. Sometimes when people say 'Everything will be okay' it was no comfort and just got annoying. Lela walked up to Eric and thrust her hands up. "I'm bored." Eric laughed. "I'm sorry." Suddenly a strange woman walked in wearing a robe and a towel around her head.

Eden laughed down at Lela and then looked around to see her mother wondering around half naked. "Mom!", Eden hissed. Suddenly her mother did a double take and looked at Eric and Lela," Oh! Oh I'm so sorry!". Then she looked at Eden and said," Hunny, you didn't tell me we had guests". Eden gave a nervous laugh and said," These are our neighbours Eric and Lela, they thought it would be neighbourly to give us some cookies".

Eric looked away and felt his face get hot. He focused on Eden. "Are you busy or would you like to come over? Lela needs to take a N-A-P anyways." He tried not to feel too hopeful.

Eden looked at her mom briefly and saw her mom smile and nod, this meant she could g and that her mom wanted her to go. Eden looked at Eric and smiled," Yeah sure, I'd love to". Eden looked down at Lela and said softly," Can you show me your room when I'm there? I'd really love to see it".

Lela nodded excitedly and leaned towards Eden with her arms open, "Yes yes yes yes yes! Oh Eric can she come play?" She had really warmed up to Eden. And so had Eric. Eric laughed, "Of course she can."

Eden laughed and then picked Lela up as her arms opened. She carried her and kissed her mom goodbye, telling her when she'd be home.
"Goodbye doll. It was nice meeting you, Eric and Lela, come round any time", her mom grinned. Eden could tell she already liked them. Eden shut the door behind her when saying goodbye and then walked down the porch.

Eric led Eden and Lela into their house and up to Lela's bedroom. He grabbed her from Eden, "Okay. You have to take a nap. If you're good and go right to sleep, then after your nap you can play with Eden." She slid down Eric and ran right into her bed. Eric chuckled and led Eden up another staircase to his attic bedroom.

Eden watched the siblings with her arms around her and a smile on her face. She nodded at Eric's comment and then smiled softly to the little girl. Once Lela was in her bed Eden walked out into the hallway and followed Eric to his attic bed room," Oh my god, your bed room is awesome!".

He smiled at her, grateful to his mom for making him clean it. "Thanks!" He sat down on the edge of his bed and patted the bed next to him so she'd join him. "It's kind of my recluse. I have my books," he motioned to a book shelf overflowing with books, "My music," he motioned to a large sound system, "And my thoughts."
