"Hey, Mom!" I called as I walked into the stables.
"Oh, hi, sweetie.... oh, who's this?" She wiped her forehead as she smiled at Helen.
"This is my friend, Helen Chapel. We met today at school."
"Really?" Helen smiled. "I'm your friend?"
"Sure. You're nice, outgoing, and friendly. I like you."
"Aww! Thank you!" She hugged me, and I hugged her the best I could.
"So, anyway, would it be okay if I went with Helen to enjoy the city?"
"Sure, honey. Just be home by dinner."
"Thanks, Mom."
We went to all the places Helen had mentioned. Then came the best part, ice cream!
"I'll have a scoop of Rocky Road in a waffle cone, please." I ordered, "Thank you." I sat down with Helen; Joe and Brian needed to head back home.
"So you really meant it when you said you were my friend?" Helen asked again.
I nodded as I took a bite of my ice cream.
"Why?"
"I told ya, Helen. I think you're nice, outgoing, and friendly. Plus, when I met you at lunch, you looked like you were in need of a friend."
"You're really nice, you know that, Becky?"
I smiled. "I try to be. People like you a lot better when you're nice."
"So you like me, even though I'm fat."
"You're not fat, Helen, you're just...". I looked for the right word. "One of those people who have bigger bones. Besides, there's a lot more to a person than the outside. It's the inside that counts."
"I wish other people knew that.... Especially my sister."
"Who's your sister?"
"Casey. Little Miss Perfect."
"Is she a redhead?"
"Yup. And she's rude to everyone."
I wrinkled my brow. Was this the same Casey who was terribly rude to Kammy? Er, Kimmy?
"Even you?"
"Especially me. She holds her boyfriend, Stewart, over my head all the time. Stewart is a stick in the mud."
"Ah, one of those 'it's always a good time for being serious'."
"Yes! It's so annoying!" There were a few awkward moments of silence. Then Helen spoke up. "Becky? Do you wanna be best friends?"
"Sure, Helen! That'd be nice!"
I've only been here for two months, and already I have a best friend! I'm totally gonna like it here!
