Unexpected Friendship

^-^

They looked like they were having fun.

I watched them from a distance.

Then, he turned his head towards me.

I thought I was flying for a moment...

But he was only pointing at a helicopter in the sky.

For her to see.

I wanted to cry.

But then she saw me.

She waved at me.

I had no choice but to wave back since now he was watching.

"Bye, Madeline," he called to me.

I smiled the biggest smile I had ever smiled.

He knew my name.

"Bye, Conner!" I yelled, and walked home with hints of that same smile still tracing on my lips.

On the mid-point of seventh grade, we were assigned a partner project for science.

I couldn't believe my luck. I was paired with him.

We chose the topic of Black Holes. He even let me choose.

It was one of the best sixty minutes of my life.

The next class, I was amazed to find out that he had already gotten all the information we needed, as well as the project done.

And he still told the teacher to gave us the same mark. 92%. I was so happy.

Later...my friend told me...he only agreed on Black Holes because that was the topic she chose. 

And the night before, they gathered the information together.

On the last week of seventh grade, there was a basketball game playing his team.

I went to watch, of course.

I cheered wildly, probably the loudest.

Even if I lose my voice the next day, it will still be worth it.
