Unexpectedly, he was the only one that talk to me on the Yahoo! Messenger… I guess that’s how we got so much closer.

It was the hottest afternoon ever… I heard the class next door fought with the other class. Talking about fight, that neighborhood kid is the best at those kind of news. I went to talk to him before the class start, I’m always the one that being clingy and stinky when he uses violent. The kid brought a stick with him and said he wants to destroy everything. “Give me the stick, I’ll give it back tomorrow” “Then bring your own stick!” I stole the stick away from him, of course that kid was in rage. He walked back to class and then came back to my class again. “I won’t give it back until we go home” “Jeez, I won’t take it out so give it back!” He quickly grabs my hand and pull me back… “I’ll take care of the stick” “Don’t go around with it or else you talk with your teacher!” Again with those suspicious eyes... "He is the neighborhood kid?" "Yeah... Mom said to take care of him" 

I forgot, we changed our seat in class so he is no longer my seat mate. I can totally imagine his face, frowning and all. Apparently, everyone in that neighborhood kid’s class think I’m his girlfriend.. Yeah, best neighborhood friend since diaper. My mom used to watch over him, our dirty secret was about poop. Ssshhh! That much is ok right? It's nice that I don't have to put up with his nagging about playing with boys anymore.

Finally, it was the last day of 6th grade. All the kids who will move to another country get a chance to say goodbye in front of the class… I hate talking in front of people so I mumbled through the speech and call it a day. Dad prohibited me from the basketball club so I was unable to go and say good bye to everyone. Luckily, because I haven’t return the shirt from the competition I got a chance to go and visit them once last time. Well, about that hot kid, I never get a chance to confess and the pig, I also never say thank you for not making me cry. Well, the pig did something that made me realize my own weakness... If anyone ruffles my hair, then I will become beet red, does not matter if you are a boy or girl, it'll all be the same feeling I will be giving off. However, I lost their contacts since then.

We still have a few days before the summer actually start but he already took off. He wasn’t there, my friend who is close to him said that his dad wants him to stay home. I also know that he departs two days before me. He never tell me where he will land. I think that questions got us into Yahoo! Messenger. I found out he went to Texas but different city. Because we are the only kids landed in Texas, we keep in contact more than the others who left. We became friends through Yahoo! Messenger... Good friend as it.

He became so much important to me. I naturally hate talking to people, so whenever I get a chance to go online, I always talk to him. Apparently, I shared so many secrets to him and coincidentally, he became my best friend, best one I could find… We talked so friendly and it is hard to believe that we were jerks to each other when we first met.
