Forgotten Love (short story) [Needs Editing]

The Beginning...

Mirani

Moving is the worst thing that could happen to me right now. I'm going to miss all of my friends. What if I don't make any new friends? I can't believe my dad took that job all the way in South Carolina. Where is that place anyway? Do they even speak English? I think to myself. Of course they do it's just another state Mirani relax.

My family and I pack all of our things. Within a month we were done and on our way. My dad says it's nice in South Carolina and that the people are friendly unlike New York. I guess it would be nice to meet new people.

It took us about 14 hours to get to our new home. The ride was so boring and I couldn't help but feel so sad. It's like we are going to another world and starting all over. I was also relieved that we finally made it since it was such a long ride.

We took a tour around the house and were showed our rooms. I've got to admit the house is huge and so luxurious. I can see why my dad decided to take the job. I can hear my mom already complaining about how long it's going to take to unpack though.

I go into my room and start unpacking my things. I stop for a little and go to the window to admire our new neighborhood. It's nice and colorful and people just walk by and smiling. Then I suddenly see this boy he's probably my age around 7 years old sitting on the grass next door. I think I'll go over and introduce myself.

I run down stairs and out the front door. I slowly walk towards next door and peek over. I tried being quiet but stumbled over a bag full of cans. When I was getting ready to hide the boy saw me, I froze. He ran towards me and asked me if I was alright. I couldn't respond I mean I know I'm only 7 years old but I think I'm in love.

The boy reaches out his hand and says "I'm Lio nice to meet you". I finally snap out of it and reply, "My name is Mirani I'm new to the neighborhood!"
We stood there and smiled. He invited me to play kickball until my mom called me in.

It was mid summer so Lio and I played together almost every day. We've become so close that we promised we'd be best friends forever. We even made each other friendship bracelets as part of our promise.
