"Hi I'm Salam" She was red all around and her colors matched a salmon.
"I'm Ocean" I said with surprise.
Someone is talking to me. I have had dreams about it for so long. My colors are blue and green swirls. Thought you should know that.
"Nice to meet you wanna be friends" Maybe this is a trick but it would be nice for a while.
"Sure why not," I said I still can't believe this is actually happening. She seemed excited about my answer.
"I just got here and I'm already making friends." This is her first day. If she finds out I have no fire she won't be my friend. Better keep it a secret than.
"How long have you been here for?" Oh crap.
"I have been here for three years," I said.
I have been in the same grade for a long time because I always fail my fire breath class. And maybe some other classes but I won't say that.
"Why have you been here for so long." Crap that question means I am gonna lose the first friend I have ever had but maybe I can sneak around it.
"Let's say I don't have all the great grades." She seems to be thinking harder now.
"Which class maybe I can help you out?" Now I am really in trouble.
"You can't help me with it." I said looking down at my talons.
"Why not which class is it?" She won't stop asking now time to say bye to your new friend Ocean.
"It's ummmm." Pull yourself together, Ocean.
"Come on, spit it out." Now here goes nothing.
"I am failing fire breath class." Now she looks confused.
"How can you fail the easiest class ever? You just open your mouth and aim at something, that's it." She said,
"That's the thing I was born without fire and you're my first friend since kindergarten."
Crap why did I tell her that she seems nice maybe. Now she's going to think I'm a freak like everyone else in school.
"Well that's good WAIT not that way I mean good as in me being your friend." She looks nervous.
"I know what you mean." I laugh nervously.
"How about I won't make any friends if you don't make any friends so we will always have each other's deal."
I thought about it for a bit. Well no one else will want to be friends with me. So I nodded. She is still my friend. I can't believe it.
"You know you're the first person to not run away from me, others think they will catch what I have even though that makes no sense."
"So what do friends do?" I nervously said.
Crap, that's the school bell.
"Well first we go to class, what do you have?" She said as she walked.
"5th Art and you." She lit up with joy and I knew what was coming out of her mouth.
"Same yay! That means you're very good at it. I wanna see one when you're done with it."
I know what to draw well who anyways.
"Wanna guess who or what I am drawing or do you wanna pick what I draw." I said as we walked into the class.
"Well I will pick and I choose you have to pick to draw me." That was the plan to begin with.
I finally finished it. She looked so happy.
"Wow you did this in like an hour I wanna see what you will make if you had a week." I didn't think it was that good.
I should have made her smile bigger and her eyes more spread out. But seeing the look on her face was worth it. Her smile is as big as the sun.
