Barny pushed the classroom door open. And scanned the room for potential friends. There was a new girl at the back of the room. He'd seen her yesterday, noticed her in english, she was drawing something amazing. She was just shading it his and doing the shadowing at the end of the lesson. Barny walked over to her. He had wavy shoulder length dark hair. She smiled when she saw Barny coming over and quickly slid her drawings into a small black sketchbook. "Hi... I'm Barny." He sat down next to her she grinned. Putting the sketchbook into her leather mailman bag. "I'm Ellie, Ellie Shaye. I heard something about a girl called Daisy yesterday, you seemed pretty sad when they mentioned her."
"She was my best friend, she passed away in the summer, I wanted to make some new friends you see." Ellie nodded.
Once again Barny strode in through the front door, but this time, much happier. "Hi Barnabear. Did you make any new friends today?" Barny smiled
"As a matter of fact I did. Her name is Ellie. She's coming over next Friday. And urm, where's Dad? I need to ask him something."
"You need to ask your Dad something?" Barny smiled cheekily. "Welk okay then, he's in the study." Barny dropped his bag and ran upstairs shouting for his Dad.
"What is it Barnaby? I'm sort of busy."
"I just... I need your help with something is all."
