Love since grade one

•grade 1•

"Should I go tell him? I mean I really like him.. Plus I really want to and he's all alone right now." I said to my lovely friends Anna and Katherine (kat).

"Go do it !" Shouted kat. I nodded and scurried off near the playground to my little crush spencer. He spotted me coming his way and stood all by himself as the bell rang. Shoot I better hurry !

"Spencer. I, uhm... I just wanted to say I like you." I blurted out a bit to quickly. The moment it left my mouth I wish I could take it back. Maybe I shouldn't have said it all that fast.

"You like me?" He asked.

"Yup.." I trailed off.

"Oh... I kinda like Madeline......" He stated awkwardly before walking away to the school to go inside. Leaving me there alone, rejected and sad. I shrugged it off and ran inside to class.

I sat down beside Kat and Anna as they gave me a look as to say 'what happened, I need details'.

"He likes that rich girl, Madeline." I whispered. They looked at me sympathetically but I just smiled and listened to what the teacher was saying. I'm a little kid, like a small thing like that can bring me down.

"And that's how you can tell the time of a clock". The teacher stated.

"Wait so does the small arrow tell the hour or is it the big one?" The person behind me asked. I zoned out thinking about what I was going to do when I get home. Maybe I'd bug my two brothers, play with my huge collection of Barbie dolls, and wiggle my loose teeth.

~~~

I got off the bus and raced down the block following my two brothers. We always liked to race each other but I was alway last since I was so tiny. A gust of wind blew my long blonde hair in my face. My hair was so long it reached my bum and was beach blonde.

I ran inside our home and shut the door, taking off my shoes and ran down stairs. My brother Aidan, set up his car carpet on the down stairs kitchen floor and began to play with his little cars. I walked into the play room and took out a few barbies. I dressed them up, brushed their hair and eventually got tired.

I decided to join Aidan at his game of cars. Sure dolls were fun but I always loved cars, they were interesting somehow. After a while, Aidan left to go play on the computer and I wiggled a small fragile tooth. It didn't take long or much force till it came out onto my tiny soft hand. I gasped and ran upstairs.

"MOMMY, MOMMY ! I LOST A TOOTH !" I shouted as a showed her the white bloody pebble in my hand. She smiled.

"Put it under your pillow tonight, the tooth fairy might come" she said happily.

The next morning I woke up and looked under my pillow but no money was there. I pouted and went up my mommy in the kitchen.

"Mommy, I didn't get any money. My tooth was still under my pillow!" I sad sadly. She smiled sympathetically.

"Maybe your room is just to messy and the tooth fairy can't make it to your bed." She states. I furrowed my brows.

"No she's a fairy, she can fly and there's lots of space in the air." I say and I sit at the kitchen table where my mom places a bowl of mini wheats in front of me. I began to think for a minute and gasped as an imaginary light bulb appeared over my head.

"The tooth fairy didn't come because I had more then one pillow and she didn't want to check under them all.

Tonight i'll only sleep with one pillow to make her job easier!" I exclaim happily. My mom smiled at my idea while I happily ate my cereal.

The following morning when I woke up, surely there was 2$ which made laugh as there was a fat guy playing drums on it.

Thankfully it was Sunday, no school and my parents had a baseball game to play. I usually sat on the bleachers and talked to random friends I'd make. Today was different, I met a girl named Sally and we played near the fences of the baseball park.

"Nicky! Look what I found!" Sally exclaimed as she pointed to a small green plant. "Feel the leafs, they're really soft." She stated and I did as she asked.

"They are really soft!" I said happily while feeling the leafs. Who knew you could have so much fun while playing with a plant.

"Nicky, the game is done time to go home." My mom says from behind me.

"Bye Sally! Nice meeting you." I said with a large grin on my face. I waved and ran up to my parents. We jumped in the car and drove home, every now and then I'd itch myself. I pouted, why was I so itchy?When we got home, I walked to my room and had my dad tuck me in.

"Did you brush your teeth?" My dad asked. My eyes widened and I ran to the bathroom to brush my teeth, when I was done, I ran back to my room where my dad was still sitting on my bed waiting for me. Again, he tucked me in and kissed my forehead.

"Goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite!" My dad said while giving me an Eskimo kiss. I giggled and hugged him tight.

"Goodnight daddy!" I said and he shut off the lights. It wasn't long until I fell asleep unaware of what was going to happen tomorrow.

"MOMMY!" I screeched while itching myself furiously. She came in five seconds after with a worried look on her face. Her eyes widened as she spotted me. I pouted still itching myself.

"Baby, I think your having an allergic reaction. C'mon lets go take care of this. Try not to itch yourself." She said and dragged me off to the kitchen.

She immediately began to rub cream all over me to help the itching. When she was done, she grabbed the phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, yeah Nicolle won't be at school today. Okay, yeah... Bye" she said and hung up. I pouted when she used my full name.

"Honey, I think you were allergic to that plant you played with yesterday." She said, I still pouted
