Second Chances

chapter 1

I am Mary, I am 18 years old and I love acting. Right now I am taking a drama class in college. As I lay awake in my bed I remember the dream I would have about my friend. It wasn't much of a dream more like memory. We were 8 years old at the time or so it looked. My friends name is Ben he is about two inches taller than me and he has brown hair and green eyes.

We were Running through a field in the tall dry grass holding hands and taking big steps. In my hand I had my trusty inhaler which I would carry on me every time I left the house. We ran through the field until we got to a forest.. once we ran through the forest we came up to the dock. This dock was our little hangout. We would come here whenever we had the chance.

One time Ben came over and asked me to come to the dock. When we got there the sun was shining on the river. It was one of the perfect days of my life. I took off my shoes and sat on the edge of the dock. He did the same. I set my inhaler on the bag he brought. Then he came and stood by me looking into the water. We held hands and ran off the dock and made it into the nice cool water.

As I said before it is just a memory. It has been a year since we seen each other. Now I am in my car going to my play performance. Romeo and Juliet it is a classic play these days. I finally got into that dreadful costume that has the itchy ruffles at the legs. It is so uncomfortable but still I have the leading role so I must go on in it. In so nervous but I got a text from Ben and my parents saying they will be here. Hope I don't screw up...
