Today is the last day in 5th grade. I had two braided pigtails, a flower dress, black leggings, black sandals, a bracelet, and half of a best friend heart necklace from Mateo.

Me and Mateo are bherfriends for ever but my parents doesn't like him and his parents doesn't like me. My mom always tell me that black people are dangerous. I didn't understand what black people were or why they are dangerous.

His parents doesn't like white people because they told him white people hang black people on trees. I sat at my desk as I took out my favorite book "Mary and her 5 guests". It's mostly a math book.

Mateo came through the doorway all mad and sad. His girlfriend, Mia came up to him. She's his skin color (light skinned) with long curly hair that reached to her waist, green eyes, and her ears were pierced.

"Mateo, what's wrong?" She asked him. "It's my dad!" He said as he rolled his eyes. He sat at his desk and put his head down. Her desk was next to his and I was by her. "What about your dad?" She asked as she put her arms around him.

"During summer, I'm going to Las Vegas" He said. Jaw Dropped! I stood up and went to him. "Mateo, so we can't see each other no more?" I asked as a tear strolled down his cheek. "I guess not Keke, but I'll always remember you" He said as a tear strolled down his cheek too.

He smiled at me. "Are you ever coming back?" Mia asked as tears strolled down her plump cheeks. "No, my dad said it's better to raise me in the hood in LA" He said. She kissed him on the cheek and hugged him.

I was bawling my eyes out. I didn't want Mateo to go. I ran out the classroom to the bathroom. I crouched in a corner and cried. I remembered all the things we've been through together.

Like when we first met. I was 6 and he was about to turn 7 in a couple of days. I was with mommy while he was with his daddy. My mom went to go buy me some ice cream and I wanted to explore the park.

I went on the swings but my daddy wasn't here to push me. Then that's when Mateo came towards me and introduced himself. We played and explored the park forever. Later, we bumped into his daddy and my mommy.

My mommy and his daddy was arguing to each other. His daddy sajd something about white people being the 'KKK'. And my mommy said something about how 'Negros' don't like bathing and that they always like to kill, rob, and rape innocent white people.

Me and Mateo never understood what they were talking about. I remembered when Mateo had promised me that one day we'll meet again and be by each others side all day every day and that one day we'll be friends, the next day we'll be best friends, and the last day we'll be more.

I never understood what Mateo meant by "more". He was like a brother to me. He would always sneak in my bedroom and we would play video games (this was before the Izguerila family had a mansion).

Or we would rather go to the movies and stuff. His mother took us because she was the only person that never hated me. She never underestimated me. She was like my grandmother; Grandma PooChoo.

Grandma PooChoo, she was just something. She would always look at me from across the room and say "Pretty girasol, one day you'll be a famous child. You will have trouble but also a childhood friend when you go to highschool. And remember, treat others the way you wanted to be treated".

But my parents tell me never to listen to Grandma PooChoo. They said she was brain damaged and she would say things stupid. But I thought it was a life lesson. But I guess my parents are right, I have to put myself before others.

I just hope....Mateo will come back someday...
