Chapter 1 Best Friends Forever
Garrett's POV It's a very common occurrence that most people have a hard time remembering the first time they met someone, especially if they have known them for a very long time.. Sometimes this issue involves the people that mean the most to them. Sometimes it's just hard to remember what brought you two together, whether it's a conversation, particular people or a situation. The days almost seem to blurr together the more time you spend with someone. But personally, I don't think it gets blurred because of being forgotten, like erasing something wrote on a paper.. but because all the similarly great moments and reactions that just run together, collecting like a piggy bank full of amazing times.. It's hard to separate all the amazing memories from each other especially when there are so many. For myself, I will never forget the day I met the woman of my dreams. I of course, didn't know it was her then. But it didn't take me long to figure it out.. Since after that day, we have spent every day together since. I remember many years ago, my mother had recieved a really great job offer else where, away from the city, which she deserved for sure.. My mother hated the city and wanted to raise me in a small town anyways, so this promotion helped that dream out.. So we had to pack up and leave pretty quickly or at least quicker than anticipated, for the new area. Since it was just the two of us, that didn't take long by any means, so we were able to get on the road quickly still within our tight schedule. My mother was worried about me leaving so abruptly from the only city I have ever known, for something way smaller and of course new. It wasn't too much of a disturbance into my childhood life I had known, because I had only a taste of the school life. Since I had only been in kindergarten before we moved and had limited friends.. So not too heartbreaking with the move.. at least for myself. I was only at the ripe age of 6 and in a new area, new school and around new people.. strangers to me. The move was already intimidating to say the least, but throwing in the fact that this was almost my first experiences in school, I was an overwhelmed little kid. I think my mother could tell how scared I was about this new life and she would so sweetly remind me about how she is there with me no matter what. That I'm never alone and just to try my hardest to be her brave little man that she says I am. So I just kept repeating that to myself the farther we got away from the home I had known and closer to the literally life changing, new home. I remember moving to this small town that just somehow seemed so big to me, because of how new everything looked through my eyes. The new house we got was great and about double the size of our old place so that made things was more exciting for us. We pranced all around our new house checking out every little bit that we can before we even ate dinner. We spent only a little bit of time taking out some of our things that we needed for bed and the next morning since it was getting dark. We ended up spending the first night on my mother's mattress on the floor since we were just so exhausted to bring anything else out after our long day of moving. We wake up to the sound of my mother's alarm ringing in the empty room so it echos so loudly, sufficiently waking the both of us up. The morning light is bright and making the house even more inviting then what it was last night. Making this place already feel more like home. It's hard to find all the supplies we need to get ready, since everything is still packed in boxes that all look the same.. but I get ready as best as I can with what I do have. We get a quick bite to eat before jumping into the car headed to who knows where. My mother just leads and I just normally tend to follow. I look up in amazement staring at the obviously ancient, but magnificently built, brick school building we are creeping up to, then parking by. She takes my hand into hers securely then uses her other hand to hold my backpack. I get lead into the building and to the front desk. I'm watching my mother discuss things with the woman behind the tall wall separating us. Which is of no interest to me as my gaze wanders around the surrounding area, just staring at everything around me, observing my new school in all it's glory as best as I can. I guess my mother had already started this process before, because they had all my information and just needed her to sign a couple of papers before I could head to my class. After all the signing is done she helps lead me to my new classroom. We are at the door as she bends down to be at my eye level. I let out a deep breathe trying to calm my rapidly beating heart, in complete nervousness not knowing what's to come of this place. Just realizing that I'm going to be left here alone for most the day. "Gary.. You're going to be fine baby. Don't be scared, I need you to help me by being my brave little man that I already know you are." My mother says to me as I nervously nod letting out another nervous breathe. "You will be fine and make lots of new friends I know it. Mostly because you're the sweetest boy I know.. and if it makes you feel better, I'll be here to pick you up after." She says reassuringly to me, which does make me feel a little better. I watch her lean in and feel her gently kiss my cheek. "See you soon little man. I love you." She says to me as she stands up. "I love you too mama." I reply quickly. She leaves me in the classroom doorway waving as she recedes down the hall and completely out of my line of sight. I turn around entering the classroom as the teacher looks up and smiling big at me."Garret I heard? Nice to meet you.. I know your new to this town, but the kids here are very nice and I'm sure you will have no problem making friends." She says this so empathetically to me making me suprisingly feel a little better. I show her a small smile letting her know she has helped me a little. "You can hang your backpack up over there and then just find your name at the table Garrett and the rest of the students should be here any minute so we can start class. If you need anything just let me know!" My teacher says with so much enthusiasm in her voice still prancing around the room, getting it ready for for day. I follow her instructions, first hanging my backpack up then wandering around to each table trying to find my name on them. I circle weaving in then out, until I get to the fourth table and see my name. I take my seat pretty quickly. I don't look up I just keep staring down at my name on the desk, tracing each letter with my pointer finger. Almost getting lost in the moment with myself. I can tell kids are trickling into the room one by one slowly taking their dedicated seats, from my peripherals.. I start to get more nervous at the thought of so many kids I don't know around me. I feel so alone in this moment and that is probably the most intimidating feelings I have ever experienced in my life thus far. I can feel the table move under my arms and hands, as I hear someone sit across from me. I still don't look up out of complete nervousness, just keeping to myself for as long as I can. That plan is going fine for a moment, well that is until I hear the most melodic voice that's ever graced my ears, speak up. "Hi new kid! My name is Lillith! But I like the nickname my daddy gave me.. Lilly.. what's your name?" She asks me as I feel her eyes on me. I hesitantly look up and my eyes are blessed by the stunning view of this beautiful long haired brunette in front of me. She has a smile that could melt the thickest of ice and a set of breathtaking eyes to match. The green orbs just stare straight into my soul taking my breathe away almost instantly at the stunning sight. Her smile is big, bright and missing the center teeth on top and bottom, creating an adorable gap that causes her to have a light lisp.. You don't even notice it unless you're really listening for it though. Her long hair is half way up with a big rainbow colored bow helping hold it up while decorating it. This bow matches her rainbow colored dress perfectly with a big bulky colorful necklace to top it all off. You can tell just by this sight alone, that this girl has a bright colorful personality. I stare at her for a moment as I feel my mouth opening to respond but my breath is taken so I can only open and shut my mouth like some sort of fish. I shake my head as I clear my throat and try to respond. "My.. my name is Garrett but my mom calls me Gary." I watch her smile get bigger than I have ever seen making my heart race even more curiously enough. "Gary would you want to be my friend?" She asks this in accompany to her big smile which is contagious and now causing me to smile. I nervously nod since I still am anxious and don't want to answer her directly because of the strange feelings she is having on me that I have never felt before. I watch her turn and grabbing a small foiled bag.. She opens it. I can see by the look of it and of course the smell, that it is wild berry poptarts. She hands me one poptart while she still aquires the other one for herself. "Thanks.. Lilly.. wild berry is my favorite." I exclaim to her as her eyes light up and she replies just as quickly. "Mine too." We spend the rest of the morning sharing literally everything we can or need to.. from crayons, markers, stickers, to more snacks and topping it off with exchanging some of our lunches between each other. Lillith has made me laugh and smile the whole morning as well, making this first day in a new place not so scary anymore. I don't feel so alone anymore when she is near and luckily for me she stayed near the whole time. She really was my savior for today and I'll never forget it. After lunch we are headed out for recess but I have to take care of some business in the bathroom, so Lillith shows me the way to the bathroom, before she heads outside through the main doors by herself. I'll just catch up to her when I'm done. I take care of my business and after washing my hands I head out the same doors I just saw my new friend head out. Once I'm outside my gaze trails across the playground and all around the bright loud area, trying to see her but she is no where in my line of sight. I watch kids run all over the place, jumping screaming and having a grand time.. but still no Lillith. I start wandering around the playground still looking for her as I hear her yelling. "Stop it Bridget... Zane please leave me alone!" This gets my full attention as I walk in the direction of the sound of her voice. I see the three of these kids, as I make my way over to see what's going on. "Do you hear her?! She sounds so dumb! And look at this Ugly dress and necklace." The girl mockingly yells at Lillith, with the boy then pushing Lilly down and grabbing her big necklace tightly in his grip. "What is this ugly thing?" He asks her spitefully as she replies shyly making her lisp and now stutter more noticeable than before. "m..m..m.. my grandma got that necklace for me." This doesn't help the situation because they cruely start mocking her stutter and lisp making her feel worse than before. As the boy makes fun of Lillith then rips the necklace from her neck. This action breaks it completely apart, sending the bulky beads all over the ground, being the cherry on top to making her break down crying. The sight of my new and only friend broken hearted is all it takes to insight a rage within me I never knew I had. I yell, "Hey!" rushing over to their side pushing the boy over in Lillith's defense. The boy hits the ground, grabbing his knee that is now scraped and starting to cry. The little girl sees this and runs off to tell the teacher on me, but I don't care, I will tell her what I saw happen. I glare at the mean boy as he finally gets up still sniffling but leaves us to be alone. Once I can tell he is not coming back and out of my line of sight, I get down on my knees in front of her. I grab all the pieces I can see of the necklace, before I take Lillith's hand into mine and helping her stand. I lead her away from that open area, to underneath the slide to give us some privacy. She is sniffling and wiping her eyes looking at all the broken pieces of her necklace in my hands with a despair in her eyes. I have an idea that might help her out. So I pull on the sweater pull-string, completely taking it out of my sweater. I take each of the colorful big beads of the necklace, sliding them one by one onto my sweater string. I tie the ends together to make sure we don't lose anymore pieces than what we already have, if we have. "Are you ok Lilly?" I ask her softly, handing her the makeshift necklace I have tried to fix for her. She nods as a small smile graces her face. Lilly takes the necklace into her hands, staring at it intently until she slides it over her head and around her neck. I watch her touch the necklace lightly before she explains softly to me, "My momma says I should just ignore them.. they are just mean kids who think I sound and look funny.. but it's hard to ignore them." I shake my head and reply to her sweetly, "I think you're really nice and pretty, not funny looking at all." She looks up at me, wiping away her tears as she let's out a wavering breathe. I watch her lean in and hug me tight saying, "Thanks Gary." I feel her grip loosening around me as I hear her ask nervously. "Thank you for helping me and being so nice to me, you make me feel better and not so alone.. Would you be my best friend forever?" She stares at me with so much anticipation and tears still built up in her eyes, almost ready to fall.. I think mostly because she doesn't know what I am going to say and having a rough recess already doesn't help. I smile shyly at her as I repeat back, " Sure Lilly, best friends.. forever." She smiles at me as she holds out her hand with only her pinky finger extended. "Pinky promise Gary?" she asks nervously as I nod and quickly take my hand out and extending my pinky finger to hers. I wrap my pinky around hers, shaking our hands and repeating back her words once more. "Best friends forever.. I pinky promise." The big genuine smile that graces her face is breathetaking. She grasps me so quickly into her hold. I wrap my arms around her hugging her back. I feel the same as her, so how could I deny that she makes me feel not so alone and happy as well. Who knew I would find the one other person who feels just like me in this whole place.. It's like we were meant to meet each other. I didn't know that this moment in time would change my life forever completely and that nothing will ever be the same after meeting this sweet girl. Who knew by this one moment out of all the rest, that she would end up being my everything?
