The Runaway

The Plot

"Khalil stop that. Your hurting me" I say. Oh my goodnesso forgot to introduce me self. I'm Zoey Sturt. I'm in 5th grade and I'm 10.

"I'm not that heavy. I'm just...hold on" Khalil says and gets off my back to figure out how much he weighs. "I'm only 138" he finally say after a good minute. Now Khalil. Khalil is my best friend. Me and him have been friends since the beginning of the year. Khalil is 11. He wouldn't like me saying he last name.

"Zoey are you feeling okay because you keep blacking out and gazing into my eyes." Khalil said with a worried face. "Yes I'm fine just thinking of our life as friends."

"Oh.well mkay" Khalil looked at the sky as he was thinking of something as well. "Zoey do you ever think of us more than friends sometimes?" He asked with a questionable tone in his voice. I wonder why he asked that question. So I joke with him and say "yeah sometimes I do. I think of us as best friends not letting no one stop that." Like a super hero.

He laughs of course.he sits up and turns to me." Zoey have you ever thought of making a oath?" Another question.seriously. Gotta answer it because I have to."what kind of oath" I ask. "A friendship oath. Like,when we get older we remain friends no matter what happens. And if anything like us starting to like each other that doesn't stop of friendship." Khalil says. That was a shocker because he never talks that much. He's usually the quiet one."ya hear me Zo?"

"Yes I hear you. Let's set this by.." I was cut off by him touching my hand. "What about a kiss?" He asked with a weird face."where?" Curious me asked."the wips?" Oh my goodness he wants to settle this with a kiss. Why not write it on a paper and save it. "Ummm" I said with shy face."don't be shy now.I've brushed my teeth." Khalil said with a smirk."its not that." I said that because I'm a kissing virgin and I don't want the school to know about this."Zo I won't hurt you. I won't tell anyone if your thinking that either" he said with a low tone. He seemed like he was a little sad I would think he would do that.I frowned and curled up in a ball."Zo come here" he said.

Oh yeah I'm not sitting next to him by the way. I was sitting in front of him. I moved next to him and laid my head on his right shoulder as he wrapped his arms around me. He knew I was a little up set and was about to cry because I'm very emotional. "Zo why are you so scared to kiss me?"he asked with a worried face"because I don't want the school know about us kissing and.." I stopped. "And what.?" I knew that this point I messed up and that I had to tell him."I'm a kissing virgin"I said with a shy voice. He just smiled."we don't have to if you don't want to" we both laugh really hard. And that day fronted we had a oath. By the way we settled it with a hug and some snacks.
