Sunny Island

Chapter 1

Once there were two kids named Porter Hart and Anne Roney. They have been best friends since fourth grade. They are now eighth graders at Logan Junior High. It is the final week of school and Porter was waiting for Anne to come out of her class. "What is taking her so long?" Porter thought. Finally Anne came out of her classroom.

"Hey, Anne" Porter said.

"Hey, Porter" Anne replied.

"How is it going?"

"Good. You?"

"Same."

Porter and Anne walked to Anne's locker so she could get her lunch. They both had first lunch together so they got to spend time together after they ate.

"What are your plans for the summer, Anne?" Porter asked as they walked to the cafeteria.

"I don't know. Probably hang out with you, hang out with friends, swim and some other stuff. What about you?"

Porter thought for a moment.

"I don't know either. Probably celebrate my birthday, hang out with friends, swim and some other stuff."

They got to the cafeteria. Anne saved a spot for them while Porter went to get his lunch. As she waited, a boy named Bridger that makes fun of her whenever he can walked up to her.

"Hey, Banana Beak", he said.

"That's ANNE, Bridger. Not Banana Beak. Just because 'Banana' has 'Anne' in it, that does not mean that you can call me Banana Beak." Anne replied.

"Is Porter your boyfriend?" said Bridger.

"No. He isn't. How many times do I have to tell you?!! Porter is my best friend, in case you forgot. Now leave me alone before I report you to the office immediately."

"Fine."

Porter arrived at their spot.

"What was going on at our spot?"

"Bridger called me 'Banana Beak' again."

"Really?"

"Oh, yes."

"I will beat Bridger up next time he makes fun of you."

"Thanks, Porter."

They ate lunch in silence. Then walked outside. They chatted about summer and what they wanted to do in the summer.

"I'm glad we became best friends, Anne. Even though we're different genders." said Porter

"Me too. I love being around you. You are fun to be with." said Anne.

"Thank you. You as well."

The bell rung and they walked home. They live near each other and near the school so they get to walk to and from school. They arrived at Anne's house.

"See ya, Anne."

"See ya, Porter."

Anne watched Porter walk home to his house.

"Oh, Porter. How I like you very much." she thought.

Then Anne walked into her house and began to do homework.
