A friend story.

Chapter 1 : Day and Night

It was a cold night. The wind brushed past Johnny's cheeks as he strolled down the icy sidewalk. No one was around, after all it was 3:00 in the morning. He would often walk up and down the street at night. It gave him time to clear his head.

''All day and night'' Johnny sang to himself. It was one of the songs he had written himself. He loved to write songs in his bedroom when no one was around and he could just have some quiet for once. Johnny looked at his phone.

''Its nearly half past, better be getting back home'' he whispered. He started to head back when he suddenly heard a voice. Someone was singing. Underneath a tree. Then the girl looked at Johnny. All of a sudden he started to run as he didn't want anyone to know he was out here.

BANG.

Johnny tripped on a stick and went flying until he hit tree. But not just any tree. The tree that the stranger girl was sitting underneath.

''Oh my god, are you okay?'' the girl asked Johnny.

''I think so'' Johnny answered. The girl helped Johnny up.

''Mackenzie Ziegler, but you can call me Kenzie.''

''Johnny, Johnny Orlando.''

They shook hands. Johnny picked up his phone(which was now cracked) and started to head back home, limping.

''I'll walk you home,'' Kenzie said.

''No honestly I-''

''No, I want to walk you home.''

''Ok.''

Kenzie dashed to Johnny. They started heading back.

''So why were you out so late?'' Kenzie questioned.

''Oh, well you can't tell anyone but I come out here every night'' Johnny said.

''Do your parents know?''

''No.''

''Oh'' Kenzie laughed.

''I heard you singing, you sounded amazing'' Johnny exclaimed.

'' Well thank you, I heard you singing too, you were great'' Kenzie said.

''What song were you singing?'' she asked.

'' Oh I wrote it myself, its called day and night but I don't think its that good-''

''I loved it!'' Kenzie shouted, interrupting Johnny.

They approached Johnny's house.

''So see you tomorrow, 2:30 sound good too you?'' Kenzie said.

''Oh, I guess'' Johnny said. Johnny unlocked the front door and tiptoed up to his bedroom. His sister, Lauren, was still doing homework so he had to scuttle up the stairs before she could see anything. He jumped onto his bed. He could not believe what had just happened. One moment he was just strolling down the sidewalk, the next he was flying head first into a tree. Plus he just made friends with someone almost instantly. His only friend. He got into to bed.

''2:30, alright then'' he said to himself. He went too sleep.
