Baby Girl
I got bored one time and started looking at my elemntary pictuers. And I saw my bestfriend, Sarra, a lot in them. Mostly because she was my only friend there ('cept for Mariah and Austin and some...other person, forgot her name. lmao some friend I am.) Anyway, she was my first friend ever so I made a story of how we first meet. Enjoy! ^^
------------------------------------

I was only four years old. I didn't know anyone, except the people in my church. But I didnt talk to them there and they didnt talk to me. I always carried a stuffed animal around me all the time. He was a gray wolf and I called him Cloud. He was originally Chip, my brother's, but he didnt care about him at all, so my dad passed it down to me. I loved it and protected it as if it was a little sister. My dad will sometimes watch TV or put on the radio throughout the house and, being four my imagination was great and my knowledge was low, that made me believe that Cloud was actually speaking to me. So I try to talk to him back and just have a conversation with him, most likely from the radio (I didn't know that the noise was coming from the radio, I really thought the stuff animal was like talking...telepathically.)



So...I figured that if Cloud could speak to me telepathically, then he should also do other stuff with his powerful mind of his. Such as...I don't know...protect me?



So I carried him EVERYWHERE I went. Including outside...



me and my brother was outside one time. I was sitting on the porch. My brother was shooting some hoops. (he was ten at the time, btw). Cloud didnt speak to me at that time. I fiqured he was asleep. I looked across the street and I saw a girl in an orange teeshirt scating over to our house. She looked older than me, but much younger than Chip was. I'm not sure why, but that one girl caused such a commotion that even Chip stopped shotting and looked over to her. She was trying to skate, or learning how to anyway. Because she fell down ever thirty seconds. Chip laughed, it wasn't a friendly one either. He was mocking her.



"Hey, look at that loser in the orange dress!" Chip motioned me to come over, and I obyed, never leaving Cloud escape from my arms. The girl was skating towards us now. She looked at me directly then at chip, then back at me as she was coming along. I looked at Chip and there was a glint of light in his eyes. He was planning on doing something, and it doesn't look like it'll be friendly.

"Watch this!" he told me.



He spread his right leg on the sidewalk, later, tripping the little girl. The girl's knee scraped the sidewalk and bleed a little bit. I almost dropped poor Cloud in shock and fear. Chip however, showed no sign of concern, as he just laughed and ran away before he could get into trouble with father.



"Yeah, that's right!" the girl screamed. "Keep on running! you jerkface!!"



Normally, I don't talk to people, because no one talked to me so I never know how to. But something told me to talk to this little girl, about two years older than I was. Was it God telling me? I walked up to the girl and kneeled down. Still not letting go of the wolf.



"Are you okay, miss?" I asked nervously. She decided to take her anger on me. "does it LOOK like I'm okay?" she smart-alleked me pointing to the blood. "Who was that punk anyway?!?"

"That's...That's my brother." I calmly anwserd. "He does stuff like that to me to..." I said. Then I quickly added, "I want to be like him..."

She looked back down the street. Chip was gone. Probably to Adam's house shooting hoops with him. Then she looked at me oddly.

"Why do you want to be like him? He's not cool."

"He's not?"

"naw! duh!"

"but..." I started to claim. "...he has many friends...maybe he's just popular?"

"He's a DICK!" She screamed at me. I flinched, because I always thought that only Daddy can say that word. "...and dick's arent nice!!" She informed me. It wasn't until then did I moved Cloud out of the way of my mouth and showed him to her.

"He was nice enough....to give me his friend...He wants me to be safe." I anwsered back. She looked at me weirdly, but then seemed to understand, as it faded away.

"So....that's your imaginary friend? You have one?" She asked me. It wasn't like she thought I was weird or anything. She asked it as if she understood my loneliness.

"Doesn't everyone?" I asked, dead serious. And before I could stop myself, I immidiatly asked her excitedly, "Can I be your friend?"

"Well surely, you have someone your own age?" She asked me. She seemed more concerned than before, but more annoyed to. I anwsered her truthfully.

"Nope. I've been alone forever. And I need someone to talk to..." I said. She must have thought that that was creepy. Because she immediatly got up and tried to skate away.

"Well I can't slow down for small fries like you. Gotta run kid!" and she took off. Not going very far because she crashed into a tree. She fell down again, and her eyes were sweeling up from frusterated tears. I ran toward her.

"Are...you sure you dont need a bandage for that? I have plenty..." I siad pointing to my house. Being lonly, I find it boring in my home, and when Cloud falls asleep, I go exploring around the house. So I knew a majority of the location of helpful items around the house. But she seemed to ignore me.

"Okay. finnnne. I'll let you hang around for a little bit...and I'll think about it."

"Really?!?" I asked. I quickly pulled her up and hugged her. "This is great! You could be like my big sister!!"

She pushed me away and blushed. "Yeah, whatever." She snapped. and we walked over to her house. She opened the gate, and we went around to the back. We sat at the pinic table that they had there and began talking.

"So what's your name, anyway?" She asked me.

"Promise not to tell anyone?" I asked her, but I anwsered without her trust. "It's Dale." I said with a sour look on my face.

"oh." She said.

"Yeah...I hate it!" I said.

She didn't seem to care why I hated it. "Okay okay, fine. I'll call you something else..." She thought for a minute and asked me what my middle name was.

"James."

"hmm....Got it...I'll call you...DJ?"

I just smiled and giggled.

She pulled her hand up, as if wanting a handshake. "My name...is Sarra...Sarra Faye Humpal!"
