Weekly Contest #70
I suppose this all started back when I was in preschool. I met a girl named Blair Hanes. We were really close, probably my closest friend at the time. We hung out a lot, so it was disappointing to find we weren’t in the same kindergarten class. I got over her and thought I’d never see her again. I thought. I was so happy when my mother told me we got in the same class for first grade. I couldn’t sleep the night before the first day! To see her again, would be magical. I thought.

I stumbled across an elderly woman, rocking on her rocking chair, under the coverage of her porch. She took notice of me, shivering, soaked from the rain. “Darling, you look miserable! Come in, I have some freshly baked cookies you could eat!” she grinned. “Thanks, but no thank you, ma’am. I need to get home.” I replied and kept walking. “Oh, please! Just until the rain ...
