February 1970
James sat in his bed reading one of his comics,wich he eventually got bored of
He decided he wanted to go outside and play
He went downstairs and said
"Mom i will be outside"
his mom replied "okay honey"
On his way out he noticed a moving truck wich meant new neighbors but he just ignored it and went straight to his backyard
He started swinging on his tree swing wich was made of an old tire,with the wind blowing on his hair he just stared at his shoes with no thoughts whatsoever
That's when he heard someone in the neighbor's backyard
James being the curious 6 year old he was decided to go to the wood fence and stared through one of the gaps
He saw a small brunette boy with curly hair sitting with his knees up to his chest,he looked bored maybe even sad,james thought
James really wanted a friend he saw this as an opportunity to finally make one
James decided to grab a chair and put it next to the fence
He then stood on it and said "Hey"
The boy snapped out of his thoughts and looked around until he saw james
James repeated himself "Hey"
The boy walked up to the fence and shyly replied "hi"
"I'm james,what's your name?"
"Jason"
"You look bored jason,want to come and play with me?" James smiled at him
"I- i'm not sure,i could ask my mom"
"Okay"
2 minutes later james' mom heard a knock on the door and went to open it
"Hello" jason's mom said
"Hi,you are new here right?" James' mom replied
"Yes,my kid told me your son invited him to play"
"Oh sure, you want to come in?" She then called james who was still outside "James! Come here"
James did as he was told and walked over to the living room
"Jason!" He didn't even give a chance for jason to reply and grabbed him by his wrist dragging him towards the backyard
"I'm so glad you're here" james said
Jason just smiled and nodded shyly
James went to the swing "come here,i'll swing you"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes,come on" james gestures with his hand
Jason does as told and james softly pushes the swing for about 15 minutes until they both got tired
"We can go to my room if you want to!?" James said
"Sure"
James once again grabbed the boys wrist and dragged him to his room
Jason's eyes immediately drifted to the comics in james' bed
James noticed and said "you can take one if you want to"
"No,its okay"
"Take one" james insisted
Jason shook his head
"Here,u can keep it" james gave jason one of his superman comics
"I said no"
"I know you want it" james smiled
"Thank you james" jason smiled back
James took that as a victory since he saw how sad the boy was about 30 minutes ago
"Do you know what school you're going to?" James asked
"Not yet"
"We could go to the same one and be friends!...if you want to" James added
"Sure" Jason turned a bit sad,he missed his old friends
"What's wrong? You don't want to be my friend?"
"No! I just miss my old friends" Jason said sadly
"Oh- i'm sorry"
They both talked about random things for a while until james' mom interrupted them
"Dinner's ready"
"Can jason stay for dinner mom? pleasee"
"Sure" she smiled
They went downstairs and had dinner and talked until it was time for jason to leave
"Come over tomorrow?"
"Ok"
They waved at eachother as jason left
