Just Friends... Right? (NoRay)

- Norman?! -

Ray sat under a tree reading a book. He was the first one in his class to learn how to read. He like to read. He didn't really get along with people. Until- "hello!" a boy. Blue eyes, really light blond hair. "U-umm hi?" ray responded to the boy. Ray had seen him around his class a couple of times, but never made an effort to talk to him. He was moving in a couple of months. Being first grade, he didn't care for it much. He didn't talk to people, so its not like he really could care. "You seem to sit alone and read all the time. Its play time, should you not come play?" ray closed his book. "I mean, I never really play I guess. Why should I?" "because its fun! Come on. Why don't you come play with me!" they boy stuck out his hand. "U-um.. Okay. I guess." he grabbed it and off they went.

     Little did ray know, that boy would be his best friend. He hung out with him all the time. But, he was moving. The boy, Norman, tried not to cry on Rays last day of school. But it was no use. It was sad seeing his best friend leave. He didn't know if he would ever see him again. But there was nothing he could do. So, ray left.

     "RAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY" Ray rolled his eyes. "Gee Emma, can you be any louder?" the girl ran up to him at the front gate of the school. "The new kid is finally here!" "really?" he said sarcastically. "I had no idea. Its not like you've been talking about it every day for the past week." "oh SHUSH" Emma said as she flicked Rays four head. He chuckled. "What do you think they'll be like? I hope its a girl! Or boy! I wouldn't care. I all want is to be their friend. What about you ray?" Emma looked at ray as they walked into the middle school. "I don't know. I don't really care. As long as they aren't annoying. Well I should get to class. See you later Emma." he waved as they parted ways.

     He got out his earbuds and started to listen to his, "emo music" as Emma called it. He walked into his first period class and set down his bag. He put his hood on and stared aimlessly out the window. ' The cherry blossoms are blooming.... Pretty..' he thought to himself as the teacher walked into class and he started talking about what they would be doing for the day. As always, ray didn't pay much attention. About 5 minutes in, a kid bursted through the door panting. " so you did show up. It would have been bad if you missed your first day. "I....am so.. Sorry.... You see my alarm didn't wake me up and I was 10 minutes behind, then my dads car wouldnt start! So he was late to work and I had to run... To school." "its okay. Things happen. Okay everybody! This is our new student!

Norman"

"Hello." he waved. The teacher looked around the class as everybody greeted the kid. And then his eyes landed on ray. Hood on, earbuds in, looking out the window. Not paying ANY attention. "RAY!" '....ray? Where have i heard that name before... It sound so familiar...' Norman thought to himself. 'Uuuuuuggghhh. Is that old geezer talking to me?' he pulled out an earbud, not bothering to look at him. "Did you say son thing Yugoo?" 'that voice, its so familiar. No.. It can't be..' Norman thought to himself. "For gods sake, would you stop calling me by my first name, and pay some attention to your new classmate." ray sighed. Rolled his eyes into a close, took out his other earbud, took of his hood and looked at the boy, who was tearing up... Silence. Ray shot out of his chair.

"Norman?!" he said as he started to tear up. "R-ray?" they ran past all the other confused kids and into a hug. They were both kinda crying at this point. "Hah. Gayyy" a kid said from the back of the class. "SHUT UP KYLE!" Ray shouted. "Sooooooo I'm guessing you two know each other?" The teacher asked. "Well, kinda. We knew each other a long time ago. We were best friends before he moved away" Norman answered. "Well then can go sit by Ray then." they ran back to his desks. "Awww that was cute." a green haired girl said from the other side of the class.

     Ray and Norman talked a little through out the class. They cought up and just could not be separated. And luckily for them, they had almost the exact same classes. But their math and science where switched. They talked a lot through all their classes. Unlit they met up with Emma at lunch. They where already eating their food when Emma walked in the room. She was so surprised. She could barely comprehend what she saw. It was ray, eating at a desk. Another kid sittng on the desk eating, and ray was.... Laughing his ass of. "Ray, haha, come on, it wasn't that funny- a-are you crying?!" Norman said. Ray was laughing so hard he almost fell out of his chair. "BAHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOD, HAHAHAHA!!! HELP! HAHAHA, I CANT COMMIT BREATTTHHHAAAAHAHAHAHA!" Emma just stood there so confused. "HUH?" she said. "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD! EMMA! OH MY GOD TELL HER WHAT YOU JUST TOLD ME!" "you should calm down first, Ray"

    After ray stoped dyeing, Emma came over. "Okay, who is this and why the hell did he make you laugh so hard? You never laugh. You only laugh when little kids fall of swings." "what-" Norman said. "This is the new kid. And my old friend Norman." "old friend?" "we where really good friend when we were little." "ah. Well I'm Emma! Rays best friend!" she stuck her hand out for him to shake. He took it and shook her hand with a smile. "Be careful though, I might be coming for your spot as best friend!" he laughed. "We'll see about that!" they both chuckled. "Anyways, Ray, Gilda, Don, Nat, Anna, and I are going to the park to hang out today. They're some of our friends. We would be glad to have you there!" Emma suggested. "Really? Sure, sounds fun!" they all parted ways after couch and headed to their classes.

Hewooooow! Sorry for not posting. I fell so bad, because I told a lot of people that I would make storied about their suggestions but I just don't have any ideas! I hope you all can to give me and take this.
