Some Things Happen

Some Things Happen One

As I walked back with Ian to the girls dormitories, I remembered the time we met. That was so long ago. The both of us were five years old.

*Flashback*

'Momma, can I go out to play?' I asked.

'I want you to meet someone Alicia,' Mom said.

'But I wanna go and play!'

'Alicia,' she warned.

'Fine!'

'Good girl.'

'Okay. Let's go and meet this... new kid!' I exclaimed, raising my hands up.

'Okay. Come on, Alicia.' Laughed Mom.

So we went out into the garden, and out the front gate. The "new people", apparently, were our neighbours. As we walked into another garden, a boy came running out.

'Mommy said guests were coming,' said the boy.

'Yes, we are the guests, little Ian.' My mom said, bending down and pulling his cheek.

'MOMMY! We have our guests!' He shouted.

'Tell them to come in!' Called out a female voice from inside their very Victorian house.

Mom and I went inside. Some part of it was a little dirty, and some was a little clean.

'Maria!' Called out the lady.

'Susan!' Called out Mom.

'Oh, it sure has been a long time, hasn't it, Maria?' Asked the lady.

'Susan. I can't believe that you are here, right now, this very second!' My mom exclaimed.

'Ian, why don't you introduce yourself? Sweetie, you introduce yourself too.' Said the nice lady.

'Hi, my name is Ian.' Said Ian.

'Uh... my name is Alicia..' I said, uncertainly.

'Do you have a nickname?' Ian asked.

'Yeah! It's A, or Al or Alice.' I replied.

'Is it fine if I can call you any or those?' He queried.

'Sure!' I exclaimed.

Since that day on, the both of us became inseparable friends.

*Flashback Over*

As we were walking towards the dorm rooms, I realised that we had reached the girls' dorms.

'Bye, Ian.' I said, waving to him.

'Bye, A.' He answered, waving back.

When I reached the dorm room, which my three friends and I shared, I heaved a sigh.

'Phew!' I said.

'What?' Asked one of my bffs, Michelle.

'Oh, Mich... Ian was just being The Ian...' I replied.

'No wonders!'

'Hey! I see you came back! Bleugh! Get dressed, and take a bath, Ally!' Said my other friend, Kaelyn.

'I'll take a bath,' I said, 'but I won't wear a dress!'

'Have it your way!'

'Where's our fourth friend?' I pondered.

'Ally, remember? Mellie's out helping  Nurse Pommel for extra cred.' Reminded Kaelyn.

'Idiot.' I face-palmed.

'We always knew that.' Grinned Michelle.

'Shut up!'

'Girls! I'm here!' Called out Mill's voice.

'Mill!' The three of us exclaimed.

Then, all of the four of us ran up to each other and did a group hug.

'PILLOW FIGHT!' I screamed.

We all yelled, grabbed pillows from our beds, and charged at each other.

We were the elegant, sophisticated, classy, fashionable, and deadly, Cavalry Charge.

In the end, I was standing.

'NOT FAIR!' The others complained.

We ended up sleeping on the floor with blankets and pillows all cushioned up around us.
