She was currently swinging on a swingset when I slid towards her. "Is this seat taken?" I asked gesturing towards the swingset beside her. She shook her and I sat in it. I studied her features observing her while she was staring off in space. She had long thin, dark brown hair that was parted in the middle. She also had what looked like light brown,almost blonde streaks in her hair. Her body was very thin and she had not pale skin, but a light tan. 

I looked at her and said "My name's Bobb." She looked at me and smiled shyley, squinting her dark brown eyes and showing off a big smile. "I'm Alice." She looked at my eyes and smiled. "I wish I had blue eyes like yours." Then she turned and stared at the ground. "And blonde hair,too. Not ugly,ole plain brown eyes and hair." I looked at her frustrated face then said, "But you're pretty, why would you want that?" She turned back to me with a surpised face. "You think I'm pretty?" "Of course. Who wouldn't." She smiled at me again shyley.I heard a name calling out for her and we both looked up. A girl who looked exactley like Alice but with Blonde streaks yelled out "Come on Ali! Mama's leaving.!!" Alice turned towards me and smiled.  

"Goodbye Bobb." "Goodbye Alice." And with that she walked off, leaving me happy.

"Settle down class, we have a new student all the way from the U.k.!" 

I looked up,hoping to see somebody that would be friendly, and not mean and snotty like the other kids in my class. To my surprise I found a boy with longish, bleach blonde hair that was kind of covering his eyes. He looked very small for his age, all of us being the right size for 5th graders. "His name is Bobb Thompson." He lightly waved as I thought qietley to myself for a second. 

Bobb. 

The boy who talked to me for so many years back that I remembered. 

Weird right? 

Well I have a very good memory. Suck it. 

I was still trying to process what was happeneing when my teacher said "Please sit by Alice for right now." I looked at him as I waved my hand so he knew who I was. But he had already started walking towards me. I wasYou idiot! silent during all of my classes, until everybody started leaving for the buses. There was a light tap on my shoulder as I looked up to find bright blue eyes."Hey Alice." He said smiling at me. I smiled back and said "Hey Bobb." Suddenly a felt a poke on my right side, which made me twitch. I swung around to find my friends Miriam and Michaela giggling. They knew I was very ticklish."Come on LUCYMAY, we gotta get to the bus." Miriam spoke, using my grandmas nickname for me,which she found out by myself. 

I turned around with a quick goodbye to Bobb, then I took off down the hall chasing after Miriam.

We were bestfriends since then. And before we knew it, we were in middle school. Of course we had other friends, but we weren't as close to them as we were to each other. Soon 6th grade passed and we made it to 7th grade, where things got realy easy. Bobb was achieving in every subject and I was, I guess going good, but not as good as him. We were both in what they called 'Gifted', which is a class were we got to skip a few of our classes to learn smarter things, and be around other 'Gifted' kids, together. There was actually alot of us, 27. Including the kids from elementary school. Me and Bobb would sit with the rest of the kids in our grade,Jenna,Izzy,Clinton,Kira,and Janiya. They were all pretty cool, but since I kind of liked to keep to myself, me and Bobb just talked amongst ourself, unless we had a project or problem to do.Everything was perfect. 

Until Bobb asked me if I wanted to go to his house and meet his parents. Of course I wanted to go but...I just.....wasn't very...social. I was very anti-social,to the point that sometimes people forget I'm actually there, until they accidently bump into me. So when he asked me, I declined. I wanted to meet his family, but...I just couldn't! I would have paronoia to the point I would chicken out at the last minute. Which is better to do now, then later. So I told him no. But he understood completely, which made me happy! But soon he started to bug me about it. Well, not actually bugging, but,like....dropping hints about it! So like, once when we were in the luchroom he'd say something like "You should realy see my room, it has all kinds of posters..." or like "I have tons of plushies all around the house where I just set them randomly...",so I finaly agreed to see his house. But I was just gonna..sneak..through...his window. Crazy right...don't judge me! So I started sneaking through his window,and he started sneaking through mine,because just like me,he was anti-social or shy, like the both of us. So it started as a clean routine. I'd see him on Friday's, he'd see me on Saturday's, and we'd both go for a walk on Sunday's. Fantastic.
