-The New Comers-

Y/N P.O.V

I'm siting by the window of my room, while reading a book. Reading have been my way of escape. Ever since I came to this house, books are the only friend I have. I would read various kinds of books to pass time. From fictions to histories.

I've been informed by Grandpa that we'll be having some people over. 4 of them to be exact. 2 guys and 2 girls. Finally, maybe I could finally have friends.

It's always been me and grandpa. But... I can't help but feel a bit insecure. I've never met other people aside from Grandpa and Mrs. Macready. But she's a bit scary... so I don't talk to her much. Which means I have been spending most of my time alone... so it does get pretty lonely.

I can hear Mrs. Macready pulling up her carriage. I turn my head to look out the window to see her. She have 4 other kids behind her. 'They're finally here!' I thought to myself, grinning softly.

I close my book and slide it back inside the shelf. Yes, I have a bookshelf in my room. It's pretty big and it's filled with various kinds of books form all different authors. But my favorite author would be F/A (fav author). He/she have written so many amazing books. No one inspire me more than him/her. I head downstairs and stand by the staircase. I wait for them to enter the house.

Which didn't take long, the 4 of them starts piling in behind Mrs. Macready. The youngest girl is the first one to notice me. "Who's that?" She said, looking at me.

"Oh, that's Professor Kirke granddaughter... come and introduce yourself..." Ms. Macready said. I just smile and slowly walk towards them. I stand in front of them. "Hello... my name is Y/N L/N..." I said, as I outstretch my hand to no one in particular.

They just stare at me for a bit, making me feel a bit awkward. Then what seem to be the oldest steps up to me. "My name is Peter... she's Susan... Edmund... and Lucy. We're the Pevensies..." he said, shaking my hand. I smile softly at him.

He steps back and gently nudge the older girl. She snaps out of it and steps forward, shaking my hand. Followed by the other two. The second boy is the last to shake my hand. He just stand there, staring at me.

"Is there... something on my face?" I said, rubbing my cheek. He snaps out of it. "Nothing..." he said, looking away from me. "Shake her hand!" The older boy hissed in his ear. He rolls his eyes and shake his hand with mine.

"I'm sorry about him..." Peter said. "It's alright..." I said, smiling at him. The younger girl walks towards me. I turn to look at her.

"Yes?" I said, crouching slightly to meet her eyes. She just smiles at me. "Nothing, it's just... you are really pretty..." she said. I blink at her in surprise. Then I smile softly.

"Oh... thank you... you are really pretty as well..." I said. She grins happily at me. I bit back a squeal at how cute she is. I just smile at her.

"Come on... I'll guide you to your rooms..." I said. They just nod their heads. I turn around and gesture them to follow me. I head upstairs and show them their room.

"I hope you like it here. I'll leave now... so you guys can settle in..." I said, smiling at them. "Thanks Y/N..." Peter said. I smile at him and wave at them. Then I turn around and walk out of the room.

I head back to my room and take a seat on the chair. I grab my notebook and starts to write. For anyone who likes to read... quite a lot of them ended up being a writer. I'm one of those people.

After a while of writing, I can hear someone knocks on the door. "Come in..." I said, without looking up. The door to my room open and I finally turn my head.

Lucy is standing there. "Hey... is there anything you need?" I said, smiling at her. "I just... wanted to see you..." she said. I raise an eyebrow at her in surprise. "Well then... come on in..." I said. She walks inside my room and looks around.

"Wow... your room is pretty... there's also a lot of books..." she said. "Yeah... grandpa gave them to me, since he knew how much I love to read..." I said. She turns to look at me and walks towards me. She stand next to my table and look at the notebook.

"What are you writing?" She asked. "Nothing really special... just a little story..." I said. "Can I read it?" She said. "Uhh... this is kind of private..." I said. "I see..." she said, looking a little sad. "I guess... I can make an exception for you..." I said. I gave her the book and she grins at me. She take a seat on my bed and starts reading.

It didn't take long for her to finish. "How was it?" I said. "You're a brilliant author!" She said. "Why... thank you~" I said. "Can you teach me?" She said. "Teach what?" I said. "How to write stories..." she said. "If you really want to learn... sure" I said. She grins happily and wrap her small arms around me.

"Thank you, Y/N!" She said. I let out a giggle and hug her back. "Anytime~ I've always been alone. So I'm happy that I finally have a friend..." I said. She pulls away from me. "We're friend?" She said. "You don't want to?" I said, feeling a bit disappointed. "Of course I want to! You're a friendly person!" She said, grinning at me. I just giggle and gently caress her hair.

Time-skip

It's now dining time. We gather in the dining room. I take a seat in my usual spot. Lucy sits next to me. While her siblings sits across from us. We start to eat in silent.

"By the way, Y/N..." I heard someone said. I turn my head to see Susan. "Yes?" I said. "Why don't we see your grandpa?" She said. "He's a busy man... he will spend most of his time in his study room. He rarely ever comes out. Thats why it's kinda lonely for me" I said.

I feel a hand on mine. I turn my head to see Lucy, as she looks at me with a grin. "Well... you're not alone anymore, Y/N. You have us! Right Peter?" She said, turning to look at her oldest brother. "Of course..." he said, smiling at me. I smile gratefully at them. I'm so happy... I can finally have friends.
