Perfect Match

Chapter 1 - childhood friend

Scarlett's POV
"Mom? Did you saw my notebook?" I asked mom. That notebook is important to me!! "No honey, i haven't!" Mom shouted down stairs. Oh great where did i put it? I run to my room and quickly search for my violet notebook. I search to my bed and the cabinet but its not there. "Ah! There you are!" I looked at my study table and quickly get my notebook. I noticed something fell down on the floor. I looked down and picked it up. Its a picture of me and my childhood friend, Denzel.

(Flashback)
"Come on Scarlett, let's go!!" Denzel shouted. "Coming!!" I replied. I followed Denzel while holding my teddy bear. Denzel holds my hand and smiles. We walked to the park and Denzel runs towards to the monkey bars while I go to the swing. I watch Denzel as i swing a bit faster. "Hey Scarlett!! Look at me!! I'm flying!!" Denzel shouted and smiles as he swings to the monkey bars. "Be careful Denzel! You might fall!" I shouted. "I won't don't wor-- Agghhhh!!!" Denzel fall down the monkey bars. "Denzel!" I run quickly as fast as i can. "You okay, denzel?" I asked him. I looked at his arm and found some little scratch. "I told you to be careful!" I said and i quickly took out my hankerchief and put it around on Denzel's arms. "There." "Thanks, Scarlett."

Denzel has been my great childhood friend. He's always there for me, care for me, always cheer me up everytime I'm sad. Ever since Denzel and his family moved.. I felt lonely.. I wish he still remember the promise we both made.

(Another flashback)
"Will you come back, Denzel?" I asked him. My tears started to fall down on my face. Denzel hugged me and said "Of course I will. And that's a promise." He smiled. I hugged him tight. "Pinky promise me that you'll come back for me?" I said to him as I put out my pinky finger. "I promise." "Pinky swear?" "Pinky swear." He hold my pinky finger with his pinky finger. I hugged him again. "Im gonna miss you... " i said to him while hugging him tight. "I'm gonna miss you too, Lettie." He whispered to my ears. "Denzel? Come on we gotta go now, we might miss our train." Aunt Tina said. "Coming mom." I let go of Denzel and he holds my hands for a while then runs to aunt Tina. He look at me and waves, saying his goodbye. "Goodbye Denzie.." I said as I wave my hands to him. I hugged my teddy bear then mom holds my hand. "Come on, Scarlett." Mom wipes my tears. I hugged mom as she carries me to her arms.

I hid the picture behind the picture frame of me and my family. I miss Denzel. I hope he remember our promise.
