The Connection

Prologue #2

10 years old

Today I start fifth grade, I'm so excited because Emma will finally be in my class. She's so smart she's only 9 years old, she passed a test; that let her in my grade. I hated being in different classes from my Emma.

Over the last 5 years we've had fights, bestfriend breakups but we always came back to eachother. I don't have any friends besides Emma. I don't like anyone besides my Emma. Mom said I need to open up more; I rather not Emma is all I need.

She's my bestest friend in the whole wide world. "Come on Serenity don't wanna be late on your first day!" I hear my dad yell from my bedroom. I'm dressed in black skinny jeans a band tee and some Air Jordan 1's. I love shoes whatever shoe I buy me I buy Emma too.

We love to match eachother when it comes to shoes. Emma is a girly girl and I'm more of a Tom-boy. I like to get dirty Emma like to stay clean. I like to fight Emma likes to talk things out. I might have anger issues, but I think people should just leave me alone.

I only fight people when they mess with me or my Emma. Nobody messes with my Emma. Walking down the stairs I smell breakfast. I eat in a hurry. "Slow down before you choke child." My mom scolds me. "Sowwy I'm excited" I say with a mouth full of food.

Making my mom face scrunch up. "You know better no talking with food in your mouth" my mom spoke. After I finished eating I dashed out the door. Running across the street to my Emma house. Ringing the bell back to back; im so excited I can't contain myself. "Hey hey calm down I'm coming!" I hear her dad yell behind the door.

Making me giggle, I stand them nearly jumping where I stand with excitement. "Emma your flea is here!" He says with laughter in his voice. I glare at him making him put his hands up in surrender. "Im her best friend you meany!"

Before he can respond, I see her my heart drops not in a sad way. My stomach starts to feel like an ache. I don't understand what I'm feeling. She always made my heart drop but never my tummy. She's standing infront of me, her long brunette hair; full pink lips her blue eyes which turn green sometimes when she's sad or excited.

She's wearing a school girl skirt, fitted girly top and the same Air Jordan 1's as me. I didn't realize how long I've been starring. "Rinny what's wrong you look sick are you okay?" I can hear the worry in her voice. Making me snap out of my thoughts.

"I- Uh-uh hi?" I have never stuttered a day in my life. "Umm hi? That's it? Hi?" I can hear the attitude in her voice. Emma is very feisty especially with me. I don't understand the anger in her voice. Hi was all I could say.

"Oh my Danielle get in here! It's starting it's starting!" I hear Mr.Daniels yell for his wife. I'm still standing there stuck like a statue lost. She looks beautiful. I mean she always looks beautiful but she looks beeee-autiful. But I can't tell her that.

"Huh? Uh let's go we're gonna be late." I grab her hand pulling her with me. She yanks her hand away from me. Making me look behind me with a glare. Not understanding why she pulled away from me.

Before I can talk she storms past me, into my mom car. My mom drops us off her mom picks us up. We both get into the backseat and buckle up. Emma doesn't talk to me the whole ride. It really hurt my feelings I don't know why she's mad.

"Em what's wrong?" I say in a whisper. She looks at me with a evil face. She must be really mad. "You! You're an idiot sometimes ugh" ho-how what happened how am I an idiot. I don't respond to her I just turn facing the window.

"Okay girls have a good first day! No trouble Serenity! Emma please don't let her get into any trouble." I roll my eyes at her words getting out the car slamming the door. "Don't worry I got her Mrs.Addams" I hear Em say to my mom.

"Rinny don't you leave me!" I stop in an instant. I'm mad but I can never leave my Emma no matter what. "Em why are you mad at me?" I say with my eyes starring at my feet. I can hear her huff pulling my arms to enter the school.

"Rinny you're so blind sometimes I wa- never mind you wouldn't get it." She mumbles but I hear everything. I pull her arm stopping her. "Blind? What I can see! I'm not blind." I'm so confused right now. "See that's exactly why I called you an idiot and blind"
