Lillian Davenport

I walked up to the white mansion that stuck out like a sore thumb in our neighborhood. I heard my new neighbor before seeing her.

“Hey fucktard, you better not break that, it’s worth more than your life.”

As I approached the front door I saw a stunning blonde yelling at her movers. The blonde wore a light blue blouse that revealed a large amount of her massive cleavage, and her white jacket and skirt finished off her upper-class appearance.

Her beauty was only part of the reason I was speechless, the other was that I recognized her. It was Lillian Davenport. She was recently in the news for buying the patent to a certain diabetes medication and then jacking up the price. To say she wasn’t very well-liked nationwide was an understatement.

“Hi I’m Jackson, your new neighbor,” I said, still a little in awe of who my new neighbor was.

She gave me a look of contempt before saying, “Great I live next door to some pathetic creep. I didn’t see you when I was looking at this house.”

I was taken aback by the insult and was only able to mutter, “I was at college.”

“Do you think I want your life story. Just stay away from my house, you weird looking freak." My face turned red with embarrassment, as I was left speechless. When I turned to walk away I heard Lillian answer her phone. “Oh Veronica you won’t believe this, some creepy kid lives next door. I know right, but don’t worry I pretty much made him piss himself, so I doubt I’ll see much of him anymore. Ya, everything should be ready for the gala this weekend. If these monkeys pick up the pace with the move. I can’t wait to show this house off to the country club crew.”

I walked back to my house still red with embarrassment. My embarrassment turned to anger as Lillian Davenport’s insults rattled around in my head. Getting so mad I threw my phone to the ground. Immediately regretting the decision, I went to retrieve it from the floor. I tried turning it on, but of course, the screen stayed black. “What a fucking day,” I said to myself before crawling up into bed.
