Henry is a teenager with a bad history, his whole childhood was mainly trouble and punishments. His parents stopped giving their attention towards him recently which angered him but instead of confronting them about his feelings he and his best frie...
"Huh?" Questioned Ralph's mom, answering her phone. "Stephane! I just caught your kids stealing while I was at work." Steaphane's friend shouted. "Kids? Stealing? What are you talking about?" Said Stephane anxiously. "Yeah, it was these two boys, Ralph was one of them. They stole ice cream and ran off." Her friend explained. "Oh my, have you told anyone else?" Shrieked Steaphane. "No! I was going to pay for them, but I don't think they heard me."
"I am so sorry for my son, I can pay on their behalf." Offered, Stephane. "No, that's fine I've got you covered. I have to go back to work, bye!" Her friend hung up before Stephane could say another word. Stephane denied the fact her son would ever steal, she didn't want to accept it, maybe it was just a coincidence she thought to herself.
"Wait up, Henry!" Whined Ralph, attempting to catch up to the running boy. They've been running around a park they've never been to before. Henry laughed at how he couldn't catch up. "Geez you're so slo-!" CRASH!! Henry tumbled downhill, leaves and sticks snapped the farther he fell. "HENRY!?"
The clumsy boy wasn't in sight anymore, Ralph carefully went down the small cliff his friend tumbled in; when he finally made it to the ground, Ralph looked around looking for Henry. "Hey, where are you!?" Yelled Ralph. Shuffles rumbled not so far, he ran to where he heard the noise. "Henry!" Ralph caught him by his hand and pulled him out of the bush he was in. Henry's hair was all messed up, he had dirt and scratches all over his body and clothes. They both laughed. "I thought you died!!" Ralph joked.
"M-Me too!" Chuckled Henry nervously with a slight shaky tone. "Uh- Where are we?" Asked, Henry. "Um.." They searched the area, a dim light glew not so far away. "Let's go that way!" Suggested Ralph, and so they traveled through the grove. While walking, Henry looked at the soccer ball he had on his hands."Why can't we just play here?" Asked Henry, holding the ball up. "Oh, yeah!" Agreed Ralph.

They both removed their jumpers and sweaters. "Are you ready!?" Yelled Henry, Ralph was playing the role as a goalkeeper. Far away from each other, Henry was about to kick the ball really far. "Ready!!" Ralph yelled back. With that, Henry kicked the ball as hard as he could. "AUGH!!" Groaned Ralph, he managed to block it but it hit him directly on his stomach. "ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" Asked Henry. "YEAH, I'M FINE!!"
- (he wasn't fine lol)
Both boys were on their way to the light they saw earlier, the duo was panting, they've been playing soccer for almost half an hour. Ralph checked his watch; it was 4:50PM. Finally, they stepped on the pavement. Henry sat down on a nearby bench, "Did you know I have roller shoes?" Asked, Ralph randomly. "Really?" Said Henry, unbothered. "Yeah, I just never use them." Henry rolled his eyes, "Well that was random." CLICK, CLICK! Ralph's rollerblades stuck out, he instantly lost his balance. "Ack!" Yelped, Ralph.

Henry giggled, "You're such an idiot, Ralph!" "I'm trying!" Ralph was wobbling from side to side, but quickly caught on from his mistakes. "Hey, look I'm doing it!" He exclaimed. Henry saw from amazement, "Woah, you're a fast learner! It took me about a year to get better!" Said, Henry. "Yeah, I know, I'm awesome." Ralph bragged, he placed his fists on his hips and showed off. He twirled, he rolled, and he danced with the blades.
Ralph was doing good for a moment until—ACHOO!!! He slipped and fell on his behind. "OUchh!" He pouted. Henry smiled and got up to lend him a hand. "It's getting quite cold out here, huh?" Said, Henry. Ralph agreed.
"Put on your coat. "Huh?" Henry's jumper wasn't anywhere. "Ah, shoot. I think I left mine at the grove.." Henry sulked. "It's fine!" comforted, Ralph. THUNDER!!
Peter came home crying, he was being half-scolded for losing his older brother. "Where could he be!?" Panted Henry's dad, Simon. "Peter, are you sure you didn-" "Quit it, Simon!" Interrupted mom, Emily. She was quick to dial Ralph's mom. Emily figured she'd know something about the situation. Both mothers have been getting worried by the minute they stayed over at Henry's house in hopes the boys would come home.
