August, 14, 1978
It was a week before school was supposed to start.
My family and I had all just moved to the area, and my twin brother Chris and I still had no friends.
At the time I was seven, and so was Chris, so we were real little.
Both our parents worked, and were at work then, so they trusted Chris and I to stay home alone.
Chris was outside playing with whatever, and I wanted to stay inside and watch Cinderella.
I watched as her fairy godmother waved her wand around and turned her into an even more beautiful princess with her blue dress and I smiled.
I wanted to be just like her.
I jumped off the couch, spinning around like I was dancing , and danced all the way into the kitchen to get a Coke.
Opening the door, I jumped as high was I could, but I could'nt reach it cause it was on the shelf.
I kept jumping up as high as I could, until finally I stopped and sighed, then I heard Chris come in.
"Chris!!", I called with my back turned to him and tried jumping for it again.
"What?",he called back as he came into the kitchen and stood behind me.
"Your taller than me, can you grab me that Coke?'',I asked.
"Nope", he said then grabbed one for himself and my mouth dropped as he smirked at me and leaned on the counter behind me.
"Your mean!!", I yelled then tried jumping for it again.
"You want me to get it for you?",someone said from beside me and I looked up to see a boy my age, just a little taller than me, with brownish-blonde messy hair and pretty green eyes, topped off with a cute smile.
"Yea", I laughed, then I stepped aside and let him grab it then he handed it to me."Thanks."
"No problem", he said and stared at me.
He was the cutest boy I've ever seen.
Even though we were only 7, I knew I liked him from the moment I saw him.
"Trigger, this is my twin sister Addison, Addy, this is Trigger",Chris pointed out and I looked back at this boy who held his hand out.
"Hi", he said.
"Hi", I giggled and shook his hand."You sure got a funny name there Trigger."
To this he just shrugged and smiled.
"My real name's Clarence, but I don't like it",he said.
"Well why do they call you Trigger?",I laughed.
"Cause everyone says I'm annoying",he laughed and I laughed again.
"He lives across the street from us, and just moved here too",Chris said and I nodded.
"You guys wanna go watch Ninja Turtles??", I said excitedly and they got an excited look on their face as well.
"Yeah!!", they said.
"Awesome!!Come on!!",I cheered then ran into the kitchen and on the couch, then I changed it from Cinderella to Ninja Turtles and we watched it for 3 hours straight until Trigger had to go home.
"Bye!!",I called.
"Bye!!",Trigger called back as he walked across the street to his house.
"See you tomorrow!!",Chris said.
"You got it!!",Trigger waved back.
From that day on, we all became best friends, but Trigger became my best friend.
