Chapter 1

"Josh get off of me!!" Tyler screamed from underneath of Josh.

I jumped off the playset and ran to save Tyler. I grabbed Josh but he was too heavy, so I rammed my shoulder into his side to try and push him off. Clumsily Josh fell off of Tyler and started laughing.

Tyler and I ran up to the big curly slide to hide from Josh.

We were in the slide, pushing our bodies against the sides of the slide so that we didn't slide off.

Josh flew down the slide and took us down with him screaming and laughing. We all fell off the end of the slide and landed in a big pile.

We got up and then went on the swings. 

"I want to dye my hair." Josh says randomly, while staring at the clouds.

Tyler and I looked at him. 

"What color?" I asked.

"I don't know I was thinking maybe, red? I know it's crazy but maybe when I'm older I will." He says looking at us.

"That's sick dude." Tyler says.

"We should probably go back to my house, before my mom starts to get worried." I say as I start to get up.

Tyler and Josh follow me as we run back to my house, which is only two minutes away from the park. You could see the park from my house so my mom could watch us. 

Me, being my clumsy self tripped over my own feet and fell to the ground. I scraped my knee, it was bleeding a lot. 

"Oh my gosh!" Josh yelled, kneeling down to help me.

Tyler got really scared, and was trying not to look at the blood.

"Here can you walk on it?" Josh asked, helping me up.

"Yeah I'm fine I only scraped it." I said standing up.

"Ow!!" I said putting all of my weight on to Josh. It hurt so bad, which was weird since I only scraped it.

Josh looked at me nervously while Tyler sat down on the grass, he was grabbing his legs with his head in-between them. 

Josh tried to pick me up bridal style, but was having trouble. Finally he got me in a comfortable position and was able to carry me. 

"Tyler, come on. We need to get back to her house." Josh started to walk again.

Tyler looks up at us, you can see the fear in his eyes. 

"Couldn't you hear him?" He asked.

"No, come on weirdo." Josh said rolling his eyes.

Tyler got up and was walking but he stayed behind us, he was thinking about something I just couldn't tell. What could his 8 year old mind be thinking about that made him act so weird. 

I wondered why Josh had such a problem carrying me, I didn't think I was that fat. I looked down at my stomach, it was average sized I thought. Now, I wasn't so sure. If Josh could barely carry me, the strongest kid in our grade, then I probably was fat. I didn't want to be fat, my eyes started tearing up. 

I realized we were to my house so I stopped thinking about it. My mom came out to say hello to us, then she saw my knee.

"Oh my goodness, are you ok?"

"Yes mother, I'm fine I only scraped it." 

She helped me to the bathroom, it was already starting to feel better.  After a while it was ok, my mom bandaged it and it didn't hurt anymore.
