 Recess at last. Everyone ran outside and climbed on the playground. Everyone used the swings, monkey bars, and slides. It was so crowded. Everyone was laughing and yelling, not the angry ways. I walk to a picnic table and open my snack. Apple slices. Apples were always so sweet and juicy. I got out a chess board. 

I like chess. It's like I'm the ruler of the pieces. I'm in control with every piece on my side. I set it up. I look as everyone is so distracted by the playground. This was a good spot to play. There was a climbing wall in front of me separating me from them. I watch as the white side, opposite of me moves a pawn. I look up. I smile.

"You're late." I say.

"Apologies master." A shadow says. 

A shadow forms in the shape of me, but it's different. He was outlined in blue. My only friend in the world besides my mother. He appeared out of nowhere when I was born. I have always felt his presence. He's like a soft silk blanket around me. I smile at him. Dark clouds surround us. It is not a bad omen. It always felt good. 

I move my pawn first. He moves his knight. I move my other pawn. He moves his knight. I take it out with my pawn. He often lets me win. Makes me feel more dominate.  Makes me feel a lot better. 

We play for a long time. He puts up some of a fight, but he ultimately lets me win. He's my best friend.
