A 10 year old you sat on a round about on a cold chilly fall day in your local ghetto playground area quietly humming a song from a cartoon you enjoyed.

You pushed your feet to keep you spinning as you continued to hum while the chilly wind made you slightly cold even though you were wearing a warm jacket.

You didn't exactly have anywhere to go since you didn't have many friends, your mom was always busy at work trying to make money for you and your older brother wouldn't be completely on the streets.

Plus you had been finished your homework early since you were really smart and usually got straight A's in everything.

So the park was the only place you could go to have any type of fun, even though you were the only one there.

Probably because the cold weather, or either the shady characters that sometimes lurked around selling drugs.

But today it was literally just you.

So you decided to embrace the quiet and continue to twirl around on the round about. Well that was until someone stepped on and began spinning right along with you.

"Hi." He said awkwardly.

"Hi yourself, who are you?" You asked staring at this new kid with really big ears.

"Marshall..I saw you spinning by yourself and thought maybe I could play too?" He asked shyly.

"I was just about to go home.." I lied not really up to making new friends.

"I have jolly ranchers!" He suddenly shouted as if that was gonna make me stay.

"Okay..?" I replied raising a brow at him as we kept spinning.

"I'll give you some, if you stay." He said suddenly sounding real pleading.

"I don't really-"

"Please, I have watermelon, grape, raspberry.." he said suddenly reaching in his pockets and pulling out the candies.

"Really I need to-"

"Please dont leave, I'm new here and I don't really have any friends, my mom hates me and this bully always punches me in the stomach and runs away." He desperately pleaded.

You suddenly felt really bad for this kid and understood how it was not to be able to make friends.

"I'll take the watermelon." You said picking up a jolly rancher and opening it plopping the candy into your mouth immediately enjoying the sweet flavor of the candy.

He instantly smiled as the two of you began having conversations mostly about comics, cartoons, and other stuff you both were interested in.

Soon the street lights came on and you realized it was way past the time you should've been home.

"I've gotta go Marshall, but thanks for the jolly rancher." You said hopping off the swings.

"I gotta go too, and your welcome, uhh what's your name?" He asked.

"Y/n." You replied.

"Y/n will I see you again?" He asked hopefully.

"Will you have candy?" You asked.

"Yeah!" He exclaimed.

"Then see you tomorrow." You smiled waving to him as you left.

-4 years later-

Everyday since then you and Marshall were at the park and both talked while eating all sorts of candy that he brought.

"So I got M&M's today." He said walking up to me eagerly even though the first thing I see was a black eye.
