I watched from the tree swing in my backyard as a moving van pulled up to the house across the street. A car followed behind it. A girl around my age came out of the back seat. She had dark brown hair, it ran down her back pin straight to maybe her mid shoulder blades. Half of her hair was held back by a pink bow. She wore a skirt and a shirt with white converse. She instantly saw me and ran over.
"Hi!" She said cheerfully.
"Hi!" I said back.
"I'm Caroline." She said holding out her hand.
"I'm Liam." I said shaking her hand gently.
"I like your name!" She saids sitting beside me.
"Thanks. How old are you?" I questioned
"I'm six." She said holding up six fingers.
"I'm six too!" I said back.
"What are you reading?" She said looking down at my book. I showed her the cover. It was The Giving Tree. It was my favorite book in the whole world.
"I love that book!" She said excited.
"CAROLINE??" I heard a female voice yell.
"Sorry my mum's calling me. I'l see you later." She said getting up and waving good-bye.
"Bye Caroline!" I shouted as she made her way across the street.
The next day I was in the same place reading a different book. I heard a door shut and looked up seeing Caroline run across her yard toward me.
"Hi Liam." She said sitting next to me.
"Hi Caroline." I replied.
"Whatcha reading today?" She asked.
"I don't know actually, I just picked it up not looking at it." I said turning to the cover. I read Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Caroline and I laughed at the title. I threw the book on the ground.
"When's your birthday?" I asked turning to her starting to swing my feet.
"March 16th and the funny thing is I'm half irish and St. Patrick's Day is the next day." She told me, "When's yours?" She continued to ask
"August 29th." I said. "No funny thing to it." I continued.
"My sister's older than you by 6 days." She told me, "Well 7 years and 6 days."
"What's your sister's name?" I asked
"Sarah." She told me. That day we asked each other question that came to mind. Questions like whats you favorite color? and on. That's the day we also became best friends.
