His Answer

Elric's Backstory

A/N: This is Elric's backstory and how he met his first childhood friend. I hope you enjoy! And thank you always for reading this story.

When I was in kindergarten I made a friend, his name was Jaiden Fernandes. He was a shy type kind of boy. And he was my first ever friend so I cherished him dearly. While we were attending kindergarten... He was bullied. He was being called a girl cause' he was beautiful. The parts that were beautiful was his hair and his shiny purple eyes.

He would always cry and I was there to comfort him. After he's done crying, we would always go to a playground near our school. And our Mom's would come and get us ice creams! It was always fun when I'm with Aiden.

I call him Aiden because it's my nickname for him and it's easy to say.

When me and Aiden finally graduated from Kindergarten, we are now first graders and we were still close as ever. We were inseparable.

We started going to the main building cause' all the students from first–tenth graders all attend there. And luckily, me and Aiden were in the same class. He was still being bullied because of how he looks by the boys and was adored by girls because of his beautiful hair and beautiful purple eyes.

Me and all of our girl classmates protected Aiden so that he won't cry anymore. And fortunately the teacher found out that the boys were bullying Aiden so they got scolded and didn't bother him anymore. Our life went on normally and we had each others backs.

And when it's the weekends, I would go to Jaiden's neighborhood just to spend the rest of my day playing with him. Jaiden always wears this cheery smile on his face despite being bullied in school, so I was worried about him. I always stick close to Aiden and ask him lots of questions if he's okay or not and so on...

One day, in school we were in the quadrangle playing when it started to pour. We had time to run to a shaded area by our classroom, but by the time we arrived there... we were already soaking wet. The rain was heavy, it was raining cats and dogs. The thunder claps were loud and there were lightning. Both me and Aiden were scared to death as we were trembling in fear. But eventually the rain stopped and our parents came to fetch us.

The next day, our teacher announced that Jaiden Fernandes was absent due to a fever. I was stunned and was also worried. Luckily, tomorrow was Saturday so I will have all the time to go and visit Aiden. I was so worried so I immedietly reported it to my Mom and asked her if she can take me to Jaiden's house.

I finally arrived at Jaiden's house and quickly knocked on there door. Jaiden's Mom answered.

"Oh, Elric... are you here to see my son?"

I nodded and she let me in.

"Jaiden's room is upstairs, just take a right." she stated.

I quickly went upstairs and knocked on Aiden's bedroom door. Nobody was answering so I just let myself in, I'm sure he won't mind. I looked at Aiden who was having a fever and was looking uncomfortable... I crouched down beside his bed and stared at him for a couple of minutes, not knowing that I suddenly fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was midnight around 12:45 AM. And when I sat up straight, Aiden was gone. I immedietly went downstairs to ask where he was but he was in the dining room eating some porridge. A sigh of relief escaped me and was happy to see Aiden getting better.

Aiden looked at me and was also happy to see me. I then asked him.

"Aiden, why didn't you wake me up?"

"Well you were sleeping soundly, I didn't want to wake you." he replied with a smile.

After our talk, Jaiden's Mom contacted my mom to come and pick me up. I waited for my Mom while also talking to Aiden. Finally my Mom arrived and we went on home. Thinking of Aiden feeling better, I won't have trouble sleeping anymore...

On Monday, Aiden was finally ok and we hung out as usual. After school, we'd play tag in the quadrangle with our other classmates and we'd be sweating like crazy. It was only normal for us.

When we were already in grade five, me and Aiden drifted apart... well not completely but he... he was distancing himself from me... I was really dumbfounded... I mean... does he even know that I really cherish him since he's my precious friend...

And when I see him having fun with other students... It breaks my heart to the point that I won't look at him having fun. He was my first ever trusted best friend... And he just suddenly finds new friends to hang out with like it was that simple to put me on the side lines...

Everyday I have trouble sleeping because I lost my best friend... Sometimes, I would cry myself to sleep and be late for school... And I didn't care about anything anymore... I was kinda depressed. But sometimes I see Aiden glancing at me but when I glance back at him, he turns away...

I mean did I do anything wrong to him? If I did, he should tell me so that I can apologize... And the same routine goes on and on. I cry myself to sleep, I eat, I get to school late, I don't have time to play cause' I would take a nap during recess, I go home and repeat... My eyes would always be red because of the crying and yet, Aiden doesn't comforts me and asks if I'm ok or not...

When it was our last day of school. Because in the next semester we would be in sixth grade... Finally hell was over and I wanted to clear some misunderstandings with Aiden but I couldn't believe what I heard when I asked my Mom that I want to go to Jaiden's house.

"Oh, sweetie. Didn't Jaiden told you that they moved?" my Mom said.

"W-what?" I was shocked...

He didn't even tell me that they were moving... My world went crashing because I just lost my precious best friend... My Mom had trouble comforting me and making me eat. I was kinda depressed that I didn't give a care about anything at all. I lost my appetite and cried myself to sleep during summer vacation. It wasn't the best summer vacation... It was the worst!

...

The new semester started and I was in sixth grade and we also moved into a new neighborhood. That was when a new student transferred to my school. It was a girl, her name was Kendal Persila... And eventually we became good friends and we were neighbors.
