The Young Glader

Young and Afraid

I woke up. I couldn't remember anything. My stomach really hurt. I started crying. All I could remember was my name, Ally, and my age, 6. I kept sobbing. I was holding a stuffed elephant in my hand. I turned to see a large crate and I hid behind it. The elevator thing I was in stopped. I squinted as light flooded the box thingy. I saw somebody jump in. I looked as the person said. "Where is the greenie?" I sneezed. The person put a grin on his face. I studied him. He was about 16 and 5 ft tall. "Would you look that, the darn boy is scared!" I studied myself. I was a girl. I saw the boy bend down and pick up my stuffed animal. "Huh? The boy plays with toys! That just made my day! Come on out greenie." My tiny face tightened. I lunged for the toy from behind the crate. I pulled it closer to me and curled up in the corner of the elevator I came in through. The boy looked astonished. I looked up to see about three dozen boys. I was started to tear up. I was really scared. "She- she's really young!" One of the boys said. "Great observation, Frypan. Why don't you point out she has green eyes? Or that she has blonde hair!" Another boy said. I backed up. And the boy who I saw first looked at me and picked me up." I'm Minho, your gonna be ok." He said. He bend down and picked up my stuffed elephant and handed it to me. I wiped the tears off my face. "She IS a little girl, and she is WAY more scared than we have ever been, show some sympathy too the poor girl!" He came out of the elevator with me and set me on the ground. I hugged my elephant tight and walked toward the meadow in front of me. I sat in the grass and played with my elephant. The boy named Minho came up to me. "What's your name?" He asked, sitting in front of me. "Ally." I said." Such a pretty name" he said. I smiled. "Thank you." I said. "Wanna hear a joke?" He asked. I nodded. "Knock knock." "Whose there?" "Figs." "Figs who?" "Figs the doorbell it's broken!" I started laughing. Another boy came up while I was laughing. "Hey greenie. You having a laugh party?" I laughed harder. "Well, I'll take that as a yes. "Can you tell me another one, Minho?" I asked. Minho nodded. "There's a girl tomato and a boy tomato and a slow tomato. There walking on the street and the slow one gets behind and the boy tomato goes back and squashes him and says, "ketchup!"" I laughed so hard I thought I'd explode. Minho chuckled. My tummy grumbled. "I'm a little hungry." I said. "Then let's go get some food!" Minho said. I smiled. "Gladly." I picked up my elephant and we were off.
