Chapter 53 - Childhood Memories

"Hey, catch the ball" came the voice of a young boy who looked like he was about ten years old, he had black hair, and brown eyes, and he was wearing a red t shirt along with black shorts.

"I can't catch it if you throw like a girl" came the voice of another boy who had brown hair and brown eyes, he had a gap in between his teeth, as if he had broken one of his canines.

"If there is anyone that throws like a girl Charlie, that is you" came the voice of another young boy that had black hair and brown eyes, he had dirt on his face, as he attacked the other boy named Charlie.

"Oh shut up over there!!" said the whiney voice of the young Charlie as he looked like he wanted to fight.

"Hey, hey both of you stop it, we are here to play and not to fight" came the voice of another young black-haired boy.

"You are always on Charlie's side Michael, you are so not fair" said the other boy as he looked at the young Michael and he frowned.

"Hey, hey, no fighting, Michael is on no ones side" said the other boy that first threw the ball.

"Thank you Dom!" said Michael as he turned to look at Dom.

"Charlie stop fighting, and you too" said Dom as he looked at Charlie and the other boy who were about to start fighting.

"Fine!" said Charlie.

"Fine!" said the other boy as he frowned.

"Now good" said Dom as he nodded.

Charlie threw the ball to Michael and Michael caught the ball and threw it back to Dom, who in turn threw it to the other boy.

"Dom your new ball is too hard" said Charlie as he looked at Dom.

"Yes it is right??" asked Dom with a proud smile.

"And it is also very cool" said Dom as he smiled.

"It has red flames on it, and a dragon breathing out the flames" said Dom as he explained how his new ball looked.

"Your dad is the best" said Michael as he laughed.

"Yes he is, he even custom made it just for me" said Dom as he nodded his head.

"Lucky you" said the other boy as he was still holding the ball and looking at it's details.

"Do you think that we could ever get a ball as cool as this??" asked Charlie.

"I think if you ask you know who, he can get one each for the three of you" said Dom as he smiled.

"As if he would do so" said the other boy.

"All he wants us to do is train, train, train" he said.

"That is true" said Charlie as he looked sad.

"If not that you begged him, he would not have even let us go out of the house today" said Michael as he also looked sad.

"Guys don't be sad" said Dom as he did not like his friends being like this.

"Let's just play for now, and then tomorrow, I can go ask him to let you guys train less" said Dom.

"He should listen to me after all" said Dom as he looked very confident and sure that he would be able to persuade him.

"You know he can be very stubborn" said Michael as he looked at Dom.

"Trust me you guys, he will listen to me" said Dom as he had a smug look on his face.

"Anyway, enough of this" said Dom.

"Let's stop being all mopey, why don't we play another game??" asked Dom.

"Sure Dom, like what??" asked Charlie.

"Mhmmm, how about hide and seek??" asked Dom

"Oh that sounds like a good idea" said Charlie.

"Okay" said Michael.

"Mhmmm" said the other boy.

"And who will be the seeker??" asked Michael.

"Zavi can be the seeker" said Dom as he pointed to the other boy.

"Ahh what!!!" said the boy named Zavi.

"Why me???" he asked.

"Because we all know that you are the stealthiest" said Dom.

"And also I don't want to be the seeker, Charlie is very loud, and Michael is too slow to run back and touch the slide if he finds one of us" said Dom.

"Fine Dom, fine" said Zavi as he looked annoyed.

"Great!" said Dom as he smiled.

"Zavi, you count to twenty and we can go hide" said Dom.

"Alright!!" said Michael and Charlie as he nodded.

"You guys better be fast, because I will catch you" said Zavi as he walked over to the slide and the turned around and closed his eyes and he began to count.

"1... 2...3....4" said Zavi as he began to count.

"Let's go, let's go" said Dom as he looked at Michael and Charlie and he began to run.

"I am going to find a place to hide, you both go somewhere else" said Dom as he whispered.

"Okay" said Michael and Charlie as they all spilt up.

Dom ran further into the park behind some trees, and Michael thought that was a a good hiding spot.

Charlie ran behind the swings, but he realized that this was a bad hiding place, so he ran to the other side of the playground and he ducked and hid behind the small fence.

Michael looked around he could no longer see his friends, and he had nowhere to hide, he could hear Zavi already counting to 13.

Michael panicked and he looked around, without thinking, he jumped behind the nearest bush he could see and he made sure to be quiet, luckily for him the bush he was hiding behind was not prickly at all.

"Ready or not here I come" said Zavi as he finished counting and he started walking to the far corner of the playground.

From where Michael was hiding he could see Zavi clearly, and he was watching him intently, so intently that he did not notice a certain tiny little figure behind him.

"Hello" came the voice of a little girl as she tugged Michael's shirt from behind.

"Eeeek!!" said Michael as he was scared and he shouted a bit, but he immediately closed his mouth with his hands as he realized that he had just made a mistake.

Zavi looked at where he had heard a scream, but he just shrugged it off when he heard some rustling in the trees.

"I'm sorry" said the little girl sadly as she looked at Michael who had calmed himself down.

"It's alright" said Michael as he whispered and he turned to look at the little girl.

"Can I play with you guys??" asked the little girl as she looked at Michael with her big eyes, she had been watching the boys from afar, and when she saw that they had all broken up she went to approach one of the boys that she saw was very close to her.

"Wait, wait, who are you?? and where are your parents??" asked Michael as he had not remembered ever seeing this girl in the estate before.

"I just moved here" said the girl.

"So can I play with you??" asked the girl.

"I don't see why not" said Michael as he did not see it as a big deal.

"Hey guys, time out!!!" called Michael as he stood up from the bush as Zavi was about to catch Charlie.

"Awww what!!!" said Zavi as he looked annoyed and Charlie popped out of the fence.

"I need to ask our leader if you can play first" said Michael as he turned to look at the little girl.

"Okay" said the little girl.

"Follow me" he said and she followed after him as he came out of his hiding place.

"What is it??" asked Dom as he came out of his hiding place in the trees and he walked back to the slide, until he caught sight of someone he had never seen before following after Michael.

"Hi my name is Natasha, I just moved here, can I play with you guys??" asked the little ginger haired, brown eyed girl that already introduced herself before Dom or the others could ask.

"Ummm..." said Charlie as both he, Dom and Zavi turned to look at Michael who in turn laughed sheepishly, and they all turned to look at Dom.

"I don't think your parents would like you being out here alone" said Dom as he looked at the girl who looked like she was about five years old.

"No... my daddy said that I could go play, because he is busy" said Natasha

"So can I play with you guys??" she asked once again.

"Alright... you can play with us" said Dom

"Yayyy" said Natasha as she smiled.

"My name is Dom, that is Michael, that is Charlie and that is Zavi" said Dom as he introduced them one by one.

"Hello everyone" said Natasha as she smiled and Charlie waved at her, while Zavi looked annoyed.

"How old are you Natasha??" asked Dom.

"I'm five" replied Natasha as she smiled.

"Well alright the, why don't we play something less dangerous" said Dom as he did not want to get the little girl hurt, she would either fall down or worse if she played hide and seek with them.

"Do you want to play catch?" asked Dom.

"Yes" said Natasha as she nodded.

"Alright then, let's play catch" said Dom as he picked up his ball.

"Here you can start off" said Dom as he handed Natasha his ball, his ball was bigger than her face.

"Just throw it to either one of us" said Dom.

"Okay" said Natasha as she threw the ball weakly to Michael and he could not catch it.

"Hahah" said Dom, Charlie and Zavi as they laughed, while Natasha was wondering what was so funny??

But she laughed along too, she was happy that she now had new friends in her new home, she was sure that she was going to like it here now.
