Moving into our new house seemed like a dream come true, with friendly neighbors like the Johnsons welcoming us. But after returning from vacation to find our property trashed, our opinion of them changed drastically.
At first, we were close. We had barbecues and even let them use our pool while we were away. But when we got back, our garden was ruined, our pool filthy, and trash littered everywhere. The Johnsons denied involvement and blamed others, but our neighbors, Ethan and Olivia, had security footage proving the truth—the Johnsons had thrown parties and trashed our property.
In retaliation, we turned the tables, leaving their yard as messy as ours had been. When they threatened to report us, we reminded them about the footage. Word spread, and soon the neighborhood sided with us.
In the end, the Johnsons cleaned up their act, and we found real friends in Ethan and Olivia. It wasn’t the welcome we expected, but justice was served.
