"Hey look it's crazy Ema." said a boy pointing at a girl reading a book. "I hope you know that I can hear you." says Ema. "See I told you she's creepy." he said to the boy next to him. "I don't know I've never meet her." said the other boy as he walked up to her. "Hey I'm Eric and I am guessing that you are Ema." said Eric while extending his hand. "I already knew that but, anyway, hi Eric." said Ema while extending her hand to shake his hand.

"How do you know?"

"I don't know, but you just look like a Eric."

"Is Ema your nickname?"

"Why do you ask so many questions, yes. My real name is Emalane, but most kids call me crazy Ema or just plain crazy."

"Why?"

"I don't know, why don't you ask your friend."

"Jason? Oh, no. He's not my firend he's just my neighbor. He's showing me around, l'm new."

"I know you are new, but he would probably know."

"Do you have any friends?"

"Are you trying to rub it in my face?"

"What?"

"The fact that I have no friends!"

"No."

"Good I hate it when people do that." Ema says while thinking in of all of the times people have done that.

"Do you want a friend?" Eric asks thinking of how he would feel if he had no friends, ever.

"Well of course I do. Who wouldn't?" Ema says matter-of-factly.

"Good point." Eric says.

"Now I will go back to reading and you can go on your merry way to making friends." Ema says knowing that he would never want to be friends with her.

"What do you mean? I already made one." Eric says to me.

"What, you mean to tell that me and you are friends?" Ema says in disbelief.

"Yeah." Eric says as if I was stupid.

"Sorry, it's just that I've never had a friend before." Ema says thinking back to all the times  that she got rejected, not matter how hard she tried.

"What?!" Eric says in disbelief.

"Are you sure that you want to be my friend?" Ema says now skeptical of him. Too many times she's fell for that trick, got her hopes up, and always ended with her being laughed at.

"Well, why not? You're really nice and you smarter than everyone else. Not that that matters, but I hate it when people say stupid stuff." Eric says trying to think of what the other kids have done to her to make her so suspicious of him.

"Are you sure?" Ema asks questioningly.

" Yes." Eric says confidently.

" You could be bulled for being friends with me. You know that right?" Ema all's now concerned for him.

"I know." Eric answers reassuringly.

"You're my first friend." Ema says right before giving him a hug and dropping her book in the process. Eric picks up her book while hugging her back.

When they stop hugging Eric hands her back her book while saying, " You dropped this."

" Oh! Thank you!" Ema takes back the book with a smile and the thought that of having a friend.
