Bouncing out of the car, bright red converse hit the black concrete driveway and up the wooden stairs leading to the new house. Up the stairs around the corner, entering the room with the slightly slanted walls and the window facing the next door neighbors.
Feet twirling in a circle until they finally hit the ground as giggles flew through the air from the nine year old's lips as she stared up at the white ceiling. She got up after calming down and looked out her window to see a blond boy in his room playing guitar watching her.
He smiled and waved causing her to blush and wave back shyly, the boy smiled but before she could return it she heard the stairs creek. She ran out of the room meeting the middle-aged woman at the top of the stairs.
"Mom!" She squealed jumping up excitedly. "There's a boy next door and he was playing an acoustic guitar! Kinda like mine but not, anyway he was really nice and waved at me!" She said laughing.
"That's lovely sweetie, but let's unpack your room and the rest of the house. " her mother told her petting back the wild mess of brown hair.
Soon enough, she was dancing around placing posters of bands all over her room and deciding where everything should go. Plain White Tee's blasting through her iPod and speakers.
She sang as she put her guitar by her bed, in the little nook away from the window, the gorgeous sunset acoustic guitar looked different against these white walls from her grey ones back home.
Meanwhile, downstairs Mrs.Clifford was meeting a flustered Mrs.Manson who was trying to cook dinner and unpack at the same time. A fluffy haired blond boy stayed behind his mom watching his new neighbor curiously.
"Right, let me call down my daughter." She said going to the foot of the stairs. "Violet! Come down and meet our neighbors."
The nine year old bounded down the steps when she spotted the fluffy blond haired kid from the window.
She couldn't help but giggle as she walked towards her own mother, who introduced the blond boys mom. "And this is my son, Michael, you guys will be in the same class as your mom tells me." She says pointing to the blond boy.
She looked past the woman at Michael who gave her a mischievous grin and they bolted up the stairs into her room.
They started a conversation immediately after the door closed. She jumped on her bed and then he spotted her acoustic and picked it up, looking it over carefully.
He began strumming Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana as he sat cross legged on the floor, leaning against the white walls. She watched him, laying flat on her stomach, head rested on the palms of her hands, and feet crossed in the air.
He began singing quietly and she soon joined in, it wasn't the best, but they were only nine so why did it matter?
Soon enough it was dinner time, and there friendship was already blossoming like flowers in Spring. They didn't talk much at the dinner table, but kept stealing glances at each other and giggling. When dinner was over Mrs.Clifford decided to go back home bringing her son along.
Michael was pouting as he waved goodbye to his new friend. Leaving after they became so close just didn't seem fair, but Violet was busy the next day and had to take a shower and go to bed.
~A Week Later ~
"C'mon Violet, it's time for school." Her mother said as she held the door open and looked at her sleeping daughter.
Violet glared at her mother and got out of bed and went and did all that she had to in the bathroom, which wasn't much considering she was only nine. She got dressed in jeans, boots, and a TMNT shirt.
She hurried downstairs not even wanting to bother with breakfast, to excited for the upcoming school day. She bounced down the stairs outside onto the grass and looked over to see Michael and his mother outside.
Michael smiled and ran over. "Ready for school, Vi?" He asked before looking down at her shirt. "OH MY GOSH I LOOOOOVVVVEEEE YOUR SHIRT!!!!" He yelled hugging her.
"Thanks!!!! Anywho, let's get to the bus, can't be late." She said and they walked to the bus stop making conversation obviously based off TMNT.
The whole way on the bus ride to school they talk and talked about the four turtles. At school they stayed near each other, Michael introducing her to his buddies.
Violet got along with all Michael's other friends, and they all played together at recess.

Michael and Violet stayed friends all until they turned 12 and 13. Everyone thought nothing could separate them, that is until S-
