Chapter Twenty Two

My once upon

a time best

friend

came over

today.

 

I was surprised.

 

The first thing

I did was

hug

her.

 

The second

thing I did was

say,

 

“I’m sorry.”

 

She hugs me

at the same

time and

says I’m sorry

at the

same time.

 

We both

smile.

 

“I hear you

might be

moving.”

 

“We are.”

 

I make my

sad face.

 

She pouts

with me

until I say,

 

“Come on.  Let’s

eat popcorn.”

 

It takes three

bags of popcorn

for me to explain

what happened,

and another two

for her to

tel me

why

she’d avoided

me.

 

Her parents thought

I was a druggie,

and wouldn’t let

her hang out with

me.

 

It’s good to

know that

things are

back to

normal.
