Smile

People think that when you smile it’s only because you feel happy but it’s not only that. I’m gonna tell you a story about a girl who’s name was Smile, Smile Jupner. She only had one friend, Dougly, Dougly Fappil. Smile and Dougly seemed to never be around, well around other people besides each other. They had a little “clubhouse” thing in the middle of the woods where they spent most of their days.

Smile was the one who could spot anything when Dougly on the other hand couldn’t spot something if it was right in this face but he was a good help when it was really really needed. Best thing about being in the woods for Smile and Dougly was that they could climb on everything and anytime. Smile and Dougly have been friends since second grade when their teacher thought Smile was a boy so she got paired up with a boy, for a week long project, which happened to be Dougly.

Even though the pair weren’t as social as most they got around to know enough, Smile liked this boy in her class named Jason, Jason Grufeild. Though Smile liked Jason the only one in the world who could make her laugh, smile, or have fun was Dougly. Dougly was like Smile’s brother or other half. (Most sisters don’t like their brothers!!) One time this kid told Smile a joke but she didn’t laugh but then five minutes later Dougly told her the same joke and she was rolling on the floor laughing.

The Jupner family (Smile’s family) were nice people as long as you didn’t make them mad or hurt one of their other family members. Smile had one older brother Ethan, if there was one person Smile could talk to ,besides Dougly, it would have to be her older brother Ethan. Ethan didn’t really like girls so that's why he never really had a girlfriend. He was only fifteen, three years older than Smile (12). Dougly was only three weeks younger than Smile but he was always one or two inches taller than her.

One night Smile snuck out of the house one night because she was mad at her parents, she just needed to talk to someone (Dougly). So she snuck out the front door but thinking she had her key to back in, so she locked the door behind her, she left the key on her bedside table.

So Smile walked over to Dougly’s house to talk, it was only around 10:30 so Dougly would be sitting on his porch or laying in the lawn looking at the stars. It was a little chilly outside but in fear of walking her sleeping parents Smile didn’t dare go back in for a sweater. Smile was walking across Dougly’s lawn when she tripped over something in his lawn. Lucky for her she fell by a thick stick so she grabbed it to defend herself from the mysterious object. She swung at the air a few times but the final time she swung the stick it collided with the object.

It was Dougly. She saw the object turn on a flashlight at her when eyes adjusted to the light change she saw that she whacked Dougly right in the gut. When Smile saw what she had done she started crying but not crying too loud, it might have woken someone up. “Dougly are you ok. I’m sorry I didn’t know it was you. I was just swinging wildly thinking I tripped on a rock or something. I’m so so so so sorry.”

“Smile i’m fine. I’m not dead it’s just my gut really hurts.” Dougly handed the flashlight to Smile and put both hands on his stomach.

Totally freaked Smile did the only thing she could think of. Throwing her arms around Dougly, Smile hugged him. She didn’t want to ever let him go, she hated seeing her best friend in pain. Dougly hugged Smile back but kept one arm on his stomach.

“Smile you know you’re the best friend I could ever have.” Dougly would have done the same thing Smile was doing if their positions were switched.

“Does your gut still hurt? I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to hurt you at all.” Smile wasn’t crying as much now that she knew she had her best friend right there with her.

“Yeah but not as much since you hugged me,” Dougly was one boy who loved hugs especially ones from this friends (Smile!!) “You know you can let go now.”
