Together

First Day

Gary was at the playground where the kids were playing. He started at them for a while, and looked back to see his father (Real father not Vincent) drive off away in his car. He sighed and walked in to the school. He looked around and saw the kids playing. He sighed and put his backpack down and sat on the grass.

Gary looked at the kids having fun, and him he hadn't had fun in a long time. Just a few months ago, his mother died after she had his little brother Alex. Throughout his summer he was just watching cartoons and watching Alex, but he had no interaction with his little brother. He did have fun during the summer with his cousins Elizabeth and Michael, but sadly they won't be going to school with him.

Gary sighed. "Why do they have to go to another school?" He asked himself. Gary looked up at the sky with a sigh. "I wish I had some friends." Gary closed his eyes feeling the wind blow through his brown hair. Gary opened his eyes when he saw a ball bounce next to him. Confused, Gary went to pick it up until he heard a thud right behind him. Gary turned around and saw a young boy on the ground holding his knee.

The boy had short black hair and blue eyes. He wore a purple t-shirt and blue overalls and black sneakers and white socks.

"Hey are you ok?" Gary asked. He ran to the boy, holding the ball in his hand. He grabbed his one hand, and helped the young boy up. The young boy looked at him and was nervous. He slowly grabbed it, and got up still feeling the pain on his leg. Gary looked at it and saw it was only a bruise, nothing to serious. "Y-You ok?"

"Y-yeah. I'm fine." The young boy said.

Gary smiled. "That's good, but," Gary stopped looking at the boy's leg.

The young boy looked at his leg and back at Gary. "Oh my leg is fine, don't worry! I got through stuff like this before." The kid replied. The kid looked at Gary and held his hand out. "I'm Calem."

"Calem?" Gary asked.

Calem smiled. "Yeah it's a pretty unusual name, isn't it?" He asked giving a chuckle.

Gary shook his head. "No your name is great, just like all the other names in the whole wide world!" Gary cheered.

Calem laughed and smiled. "Thank you! What's your name?" He asked.

"I'm Gary, but my daddy told me my full name is Garret." Gary said introducing himself.

Calem looked at Gary. "I like Gary better." He said. Gary smiled seeing he made his first friend.

"Thank you Calem." Gary said with a smile.

"Your welcome." Calem said.

"Hey Calem!" Another boy said coming over. "Did you get the ball?" The boy looked a few centimeters taller then the two, and wore a brown T-shirt with a bear on it, and shorts. "Oh." His expression changed seeing Gary. "Hi."

"Hi." Gary waved.

"Joey, this is Gary." Calem said.

"H-Hi Joey." Gary stuttered feeling nervous of the other kid.

"Hey Gary." Joey said with a confident smile on his face. "Want to play with me and Calem?" He asked.

Gary looked at the two boys and nodded. "Sure!" With a laugh, the boys ran off to play until the teacher called them up to go inside. Gray picked up his backpack, and looked at his two new friends. "So what class are you guys in?" Gary asked.

"Room 28A!" Calem and Joey said at the same time.

Gary smiled. "Same with me!" He cheered. The boys smiled and went inside the classroom. The three looked for a table and they sat down together. Gary smiled at his new friends, and spent all day in class learning everything and having fun with his new friends.

After school Gary ran home and opened the door with a huge smile on his face. "Daddy! Daddy!" Gary called out. He went to the living room where a man, with black hair and pale skin was watching TV, and next to him was a small basket with a baby sleeping.

"What is it? Gary!" The man snapped.

"I made new friends on my first day of school!" Gary cheered. The man ignored him and just continued watching TV. Gary frowned at his father and walked to his room, and lied down on his bed. He sighed wishing his father would talk to him like he did before, but since Alex showed up his father ignores him.

However, he gave a smile remembering his new friends he met today at school.
