Cameron
I was glad that I could walk with her. I would be her first friend in Oregon, and I could show her around.
"So, where did you move from?" I asked her to start a conversation.
"Tennessee."
"Oh, really? Some of my family lives in Tennessee. What part did you live in?"
"Nashville, what city does your family live in?"
"Memphis."
I felt like I was asking a lot of questions, but I wanted to get to know her.
Dixie
I kind of liked this unexpected company. He seemed nice, and I was glad that I found a friend before I went to school.
"So how old are you, Dixie?"
"16, what about you?"
" I'm 16 too! Do you have your licence?"
"No, my mom won't let me. She says it is a waste of time if I don't have a car."
I waited a minute to talk because I really didn't know what to say.
"Why don't you tell her you can drive her car?"
I laughed a little sarcastically "It will be a cold day in hell before my mother let's me drive her car."
He chuckled a little bit. "I'm sorry."
"It really not a big deal to me. I don't care anyway." I lied
It got quiet for a few minutes and I thought about how that is one of the things I really wanted but couldn't have because of my mom.
"So, do you wanna go swimming tommorow?"
"Umm, sure. That sounds fun" I said as we turned the corner and caught a glimpse of our houses.
"Well, I'll see you tommorow."
"Okay, bye Cam."
He turned around and smiled. At first I wasn't sure if he would get mad that I called him that, but it seemed fine.
