But unfortunately, Phyllis was working a lot at the time.

She wasn't able to take him.

But AJ took it upon herself to step in and to sign him up herself.

She also continued taking him to every single practice and game that Phyllis couldn't make it to.

Just again, really taking on this mama bear role for the whole neighborhood.

Now, out of everyone in the neighborhood, Susan was the odd one out.

She was the only one who didn't get along with everyone, the only person who ever caused any type of trouble.

And Susan rented her place.

She had moved into her duplex across the street from AJ back in 2020.

When she moved in, everyone in the neighborhood already had built these relationships and bonds with each other.

And here she was now, the newcomer, coming in and kind of trying to like find her path.

I mean, it didn't mean that Susan couldn't come into the neighborhood and make friends with people.

Of course she could.

Granted, she was a bit older than most of the other people on the block.

But it still was tough for Susan.

All by her own doing.

And what I mean by that is Susan could have been the neighbor who waved at everyone every morning or handed out juice boxes to the kids who were playing on the lawn and all hot and sweaty from being out there for hours on end.

But that wasn't the reality of things.

Could not be further from the truth.

From the moment that she moved in, she was just extremely standoffish.
