Saturday Afternoon~

"Bonjour means..?" I looked at Janessa, one of the students I tutor in French. "You're welcome?" She guessed. I giggled. "Close! It means hello." She waved at me. "Hello!" I giggled even more. "We'll continue tomorrow, ok?" "Ok!" She hopped off her chair. "Goodbye!" She waved again. "Au Revoir!" I placed pieces of paper in a purple folder labeled French class.

"Hello." I hear a familiar British accent. "Oh, hi, Harry!" "Well, I wanted to bring you home, if that's ok?" "Awwh, that's very sweet of you Harry but Noah's gonna bring me home." Noah was my boyfriend. Harry frowned. "Oh." I picked up some boxes. "Thank you though." I put them back where they belonged. "Well I'll be on my way then." "Bye." I said, softly, feeling kinda bad.

Flasback~

"Ok boys and girls, it's time for recess!" Mrs. Miller smiled at her kindergarten students. "Yay!" The kids cheered as they ran to the door. "Ok ok! Come on, let's line up first!"

She giggled and opened the door. I grabbed my book before I made my way to the door as well.

I was only 5 years old at the time.

*I sat on my favorite bench and opened my book on a wrinkled page. I took out my blue bookmark and started reading. A boy about my age walked up and sat down next to me. "Hi!" He smiled and waved. I didn't even look up from my book.

"Hey." He poked me on the shoulder and said, "I'm Harry, What's your name?" He poked me once again. "Isla," still looking at the page. "Pretty name." I looked at him. No one's ever told me I had a pretty name. "Thanks." I blushed. "Wanna be best friends?" I finally closed my book. "Sure, why not?" And that was it.
