Happy just to dance with you

The Beginning

  It was a really warm day. Everywhere flowers started to bloom and the trees were getting back their leaves.

And of course my parents took advantage of this nice day and we moved. We moved into a little house. Well, not too little 'cus here are houses smaller than ours. This house is smaller than our old house.

''Emily, darling, can you take that box and carry it up to you room?!'' my mom said taking a different box. 

''Ok.'' I took the box and carried it upstairs to my room. The previous owners had a little daughter so that explains why my room is bright pink with little flowers. 

I put the box on my bed and from the corner of my eye I could see my mom talking to some people. I decided to go and meet them. I walked outside and stood next to my mom.

''Oh and who is this little cutie?'' the woman asked. She had two little boys with her. One was younger than the other and was holdin her hand.

''This is my youngest daughter Emily, she just turned 10.'' my mom said putting her arm around me. ''Emily, these are our neighbours they live right opposite our house.'' 

''Hello Emily, I'm Mary and these are my children. This is James but call him Paul or he gets a little angry.'' Mary laughed a little and the boy who's named Paul turned bright pink. ''He's actually your age, and this is my youngest son Mike.'' Mike smiled from ear to ear and came to hug me. 

''Hello, Emiiilllyyy!!!!'' he said and squeezed me. I didn't know what to do so I squeezed back.

''Hey boys why don't you go show Emily the park while I talk to her mother?!'' Mary said pushing Paul a little towards me.

The three of us started to walk. ''Where are we going, Jam- Paul?'' Almost.

''I'm going to show you the park, it's really beautiful. And then we can go see the ducks.'' He said smiling at me, I smiled back. Mike was running ahead of us. Paul had to hold his hand so he wouldn't get run over by a car.

The rest of the walk was quiet.

''Why do you hate when people call you James?'' I asked as we sat down by the lake with the ducks. ''Because James is my father!'' ''oh. I see.''

''So why did you move?'' ''My grandfather died and he left my father some farm not that far from here. So my parents wanted to move closer to it. It's a really old farm that needs to be rebuilt. My dad has some plan to eather make it a house for us or sell the land.'' ''Cool.''

Mike turned to me and took my hand. ''If you move there will you invite us to play?'' I laughed, ''Of coure I will. We're friends aren't we?'' Mike nodded shaking his head up and down really fast.

We talked more and walked around the city. Turns out me and Paul have a lot in common. We both like music, drawing and we love animals. And we have the same humour.

It was starting to get dark so we headed back to our houses.

''Bye, Paul and Mike. See you tomorrow!!!'' I said giving them hugs

''Bye, Emily!!!'' They said and walked into their house but not before Mike waved so much almost hitting Paul in face.
