Strong

I watch as the trees fly by my window. The clouds were grey and it just made everything more upsetting, I can't believe we were moving. i was going to be alone, i would have to make new friends. I watched as we finally pulled into the new house in homeless chapel, I let out a sigh. Then I look at the house, it was truly beautiful, it was two story's high and the front was painted white with brown trimming. My parents got out of the car as I let out a sigh.

"Ashley come on, come see your new home." My mom called out to me. I let out a breath as I sat in the car another minute before opening the door quickly

"Ow" someone grumbled, I gasped as I quickly jumped out to see a boy about my age 7, he had piercing green eyes, he was wearing a white tee shirt with tan shorts. His hand covered his forehead as I quickly leaned down to him.

"I am so sorry, I did not see you there" I giggled as I pulled him to his feet

"It's nice to meet you too" he laughed holding his hand to shake as I looked at him like he was crazy

"I am Marcel, and you are?" I smiled pulling him into a quick hug as he awkwardly hugged back

"Hi I am Ashley, nice to meet you" I pulled away from the hug to see his forehead a little red

" would you like some Ice?" I asked already taking him inside to search for the kitchen

"Um.. Yeah that would be great" he replied after we finally reached the kitchen. There was a new stranger talking to my parents, the lady was very pretty she had long straight black hair, she wore jeans and a white tee shirt, she had a big smile on her face, but it soon turned into a worried expression when she saw Marcel.

"What happened Marcel" she asked, maybe she knew Marcel. I grabbed the ice and softly put it on the boys head, he flinched a second but eased up.

"Looks like he met Ashley" my dad chuckled with my mom

"Yeah sorry agin about that Marcel, I accidentally hit him with the car door" I shrugged, it was quiet a second before the parents broke into laughter. I looked at Marcel and he just smiled at me

"Well Marcel are you ok?" The lady asked after the parents settled down a bit

"Yeah mom, I am fine!" He smiled putting the ice down on the counter. Oh so she is his mom, ok that makes sense.

"Oh how rude of me I forgot to introduce myself, I am Anna Styles and this is my son, as you already might know is Marcel" she smiled, I gave Anna a hug and she was surprised for a second before quickly hugging me back. The next thing I know we were in a group hug as we all laughed.

"It's nice to meet you Mrs.Styles" I smiled as we pulled away

"Wow such a polite young lady, but please call me Anna" she smiled back

"Mom, is it ok if me and Ashley go play at our house" Anna looks at my parents approval as did I. I jump around with Marcel as my parents nod their heads as me and Marcel run over to his house.

We ran across both of our yards thru the door and up the stairs into Marcel's room. He had a small room with a bed on one side and toys on the other! The room was blue and I loved the color.

"What do you want to do?" He asked snapping me out of my thought.

"Oh let's paint" I gushed looking at his drawing board

"Ok let's go" he grabbed the board and my hand and ran out of his room and down the stairs where we met a beautiful girl a bit older then us

"Oh, Ashley meet my sister Gemma, Gemma meet Ashley our new neighbor" Marcel smiled. Gemma smiled giving me a hug before she asked what we were doing and of course I let Marcel explain. Not long after we explained we ran outside to play.

It was several hours later as me and Marcel were having a blast and finically decided to lay down and look up at the night sky in his back yard

"Sorry again about the door" I laughed while poking his cheek

"It's all good, it's worth it" it becomes silent for a minute as we watch the stars

"Is it ok if I call you Harry?" I ask out of nowhere

"What?!" He lifts his head up to look at me

"Why, where did you get that name?" he chuckled

"I don't know you just.. You just look like a Harry to me" I sat up with him

"Ok, if that's what you want to call me" he chuckled while laying down

"Plus you hairy" I scrunched my nose before I chuckled ruffling his hair. He quickly removed my hands and tried to fix his hair

"Hey hey hey, the hair is off limits" after he said this we both burst into laughter "I am happy I met you Ashley, I think we are gonna be great friends"

"I think we will be best friends" I sit up one more time holding out my pinkie, Harry mimics my actions

"I promise we will be best friends, forever"

"Best friends forever" he repeats before we both lay back down spotting constellations

*who knew promises were made to be broken*

HEY IS THIS BOOK OFF TO A GOOD START? IT STARTS WHERE THEY FIRST MET! AND THE PROMISE SO HOPE YOU IT!!
