I sit and wait on my grandmothers porch, sitting, waiting unsure of what will happen within the next few minutes of time. Hands on my chin elbows in my lap sitting and waiting for at least one kid to come outside but of course who would come and talk to the new kid??? Yeah didn't think so. Anyway my name is Onika Brown but you can call me Nikki. "Nikki, dinner, it's your favorite chicken pot pie and potatoes, why don't you come in for a little get some food in yah"my grandma says sleepily "coming grandma" I say sighing slowly standing up walking up the steps and to the dull old mint green door. I open it and walk inside I go to the bathroom wash up for dinner and then sit in my usual seat at the dinner table and wait. "Um grandma, do you find me weird or unusual or something?
Cause when I sat outside today nobody came out so I ended up sitting on the porch all day and doing nothing, I don't think anybody likes me here. What do you think I should do" I sit and wait for a response "well dearie maybe you should just try to be yourself and just hope for the best, does that sound good, now here have some pot pie" I sigh and then start impailing the pot pie"thanks grandma" after a while I finish my supper and get in my bed. I clutch my stuffed puppy to my chest and wish for a new day,"night puppers" and I drift into the darkness.a bright light emerges next to me and I wake up "cheese and rice morning all ready!?" I say surprised. I brush my teeth and hair and slap on some clothes on as I tie my shoes together I am interrupted by the familiar high pitched screaming"Onika Brown come downstairs and eat your breakfast now!!!" I finish putting on my shoes and shout,"Coming grandma, just give me two minutes to finish putting on my shoes" After finishing I run downstairs and quickly eat my breakfast. "I'm gonna go outside and try to make some friends ok grandma, I'll be back in a little see yah" I dash out the door and wait on the porch. Out in the distance I see a little girl out in the distance, I tell out to her to get her attention and wave my hands anxiously"hello???Hello!!!Hi! Come here a minute I wanna be your friend" I say in a desperate tone. "Wanna play tag???"
