New Friend

This is from the past, so Mark and Cesar are smoll little children, alternates included :>] this is Mark's Pov

It was a long day in the winter, I was at school, like usual. I was in class. I was so bored in class, I even fell asleep, before I was warned by my teacher, She was telling everybody that their was a new student. Now me, I don't really have friends, so maybe the new student could be my friend!

  "Everybody, Meet Cesar Torres. He speaks Spanish, but sometimes he can understand some English words, Cesar you can go sit to Mark over there." She told him, and I knew the signal, I've been with new students alot, so I raised my hand up high, I was quite nervous, but I kept my cool..He walked towards me, and sat down. This just got even more awkward, I was scared, with thoughts running through my head.

   What if he hates me?

   What if he doesn't want to be my friend?

  "Holá! I'm Cesar! It's nice to meet you!" He had a Spanish accent. I couldn't say anything, words wouldn't just spit out my mouth. Until, I finally forced myself to speak.

  "I-im Mark, nice to meet you to Cesar.." He seemed excited, which brought me a little joy, and it got rid of my nerves. I think we will be the best out of friends..I'm sure of it.

  "Mark, can you teach him English a bit, so he can understand our class?" She questioned me, and absolutely I agreed.

  "Yes Mrs.[Insert Name]" Cesar and me just smiled at each other, we just had met, and know we're known as friends now, I guess.

  After the lesson, it is lunch time!!

  "Do you need lunch from the cafeteria Ces?" I asked him, and he shook his head no. His mother must have cooked his lunch. Sounds delicious! I got my food, and he was just standing their, waiting for me. He really didn't have to wait, but..That's his choice..

  "Where do you wanna sit?" He asked me.
 
  "Anywhere, it really doesn't matter to me." He looked around and pointed where he wanted to go. I nod, and he starts walking towards a table, As for me, I follow along. Lunch was about 30 minutes, and if we did good in school, or class work, we would get extra minutes, or we would have the the desicion to sit with friends from other classes. Cesar was my only friend, he's from the same class though.

   We ate lunch together! He had, I think it was called tamales, with rice. Sounds good! All I had, was spaghetti, with garlic bread, wasn't the best, wasn't the worst. After we ate lunch, it was time for recess, all of the classmates gathered in a line, our teacher was already waiting for us, so we had no time to waste. For the kids who brought their lunchboxes, they leave them outside, and when it's time to go back in, they grab them.
Recess isn't that short, I belive 1 hour. Awesome!

"What do you wanna play amigito?" He questioned me, looking around the playground, seeing how kids would play in this school.

  "I don't know, you choose" I answered him, he just thought about it for a while, but he knew which game he wanted to play.

  "Duck-Duck-Goose? Yo piensa que eso es El nombre del juego.." He responded, and also said something in spanish, I could understand a little. I think he said.. I belive that's what the game is called. If I'm wrong, I could ask my Spanish teacher or someone else.

  "Sure! But- we need more kids?-" He thought about it for a minute, until we saw to kids, one who was a blonde, and another one who was a ravenette with a white stripe on his hair.

  "Oye! Wanna play with us?!" Cesar yelled out to them..The kids looked at us, they seemed bored aswell, and nodded. They walked towards us, I seemed nervous.

  "I'm Cesar!" He introduced himself to the two boys. He pointed to me, and introduced me.

  "And this is my friend Mark! What's your guys name?"

  "Jonah Marshall." The ravenette said.

"And Adam Murray." Jonah Pointed to the blonde on, he scoffed, I guess he was that type of mood.

  "Cool names!" Cesar said, he always didn't seem to nervous when it comes to making friends..Am I just nervous? Yeah probably am.

  After recess ends [I am too lazy, My apologies.]

   We head inside, with the class in their seats, writing a essay about a story we read. We also got to choose partners. Cesar chose me! I smiled warmly.

  "Alright children, get a book, and you may choose a partner for this essay! This is due by Friday!" Mrs.[Insert Name] spoke to all of the children, as I return they nodded, and got back to what they were doing.
Cesar chose a animal book, about Butterflies. I guess, he likes butterflies, or what they say in spanish, Mariposa. We read the book, and took down some notes on the paper. After we were finished we turned it in..And that was the end of our day. Yeah, an essay almost took the whole day. Cesar's house was near mine, so today, we got to walk with one another, we laughed, giggled said jokes with each other. I would love to know more about Cesar. He's my friend..

We eventually arrived at His house..I guess this meant goodbye..I really didn't want to say goodbye, however we had too..

  "Well, it was nice knowing you Amigito.." He smiled.

"It was nice knowing you too." I smiled back at him. I was about to go walk my way home, until, an unexpected hug, from Cesar came back from behind..I chuckled, and turned around, and hugged him back..He didn't let go, he was hugging quite tight, but I had to go home quickly, I do not want my sister to get mad at me, for not playing dolls with her. He eventually let go, and went inside his house, and I, I went home..
