My Story Part 1 : A new neighbour? Saturday, 16 april 2002 "oh gosh, i lost my ball again?" Well hello there, courious about me? I am a girl. and I am only 9. but guess what? I prefer playing ball in the outside more and going home with dirty clothes than staying at home, playing barbie, and doing other girls stuff. Enough introduce myself I think. Now time to find my ball! "uggh where is it? I've been looking for it on the tree, inside the bush, under the chairs. I even search it inside the toilet! but still, I found nothing" I said. "is this your ball?" a little boy throw my ball. I jumped. "wow that's shocking me. But thanks" I smiled. "anytime" he answered and blushed. "hey, do you always in here? I mean playing alone in here" he asked. "well, yes. First of all, I am 9. So i have to study like other kids. But I don't go to school like you do. I study at home, or you can call it 'home-schooling'. So I don't have any friend that has a same age like me". He just nod. "then, why do you choose play with ball? girls like you usually loves kind of barbie right?" he asked again. "oh i hate it" I said innocently. with my three words, he just stay silent and looking at me. Few seconds later, he start to giggle. "hey hey hey. Why are you laughing at me?" I frowned. "I'm not laughing. Just giggle. see?" he explained and start to giggle again. "Okay okay whatever! then stop giggling!" I frowned again. Finally, he stops giggling. "Okay okay I stop". "So, why are you giggling-so-sudden?" I asked again. "hum. because you are kinda interesting. Girls at your age hates barbie are so rare" "oh okay" -awkward silence- "Hanaa!" someone is calling my name. Oh it's my mom! better go home. "uh, i got to go now. If you want to see me again, meet me tomorrow in here or visit my house! it's right there" I pointed my house. "oka-What?! that's your house?" he shocked. I just nodded. "Silly, my house is right there. Next to yours" he explain. "oh. eh? what?! why i never meet you before?" "well I have no idea too" he just smiled. " okay see you tomorrow!" I waved to him and run to my mom. "oh wait!" he shouted. " what again?" I answered. "I am Kaito. I am 9 just like you. now you have a friend that has a same age like you right?" Hearing him, i just smile and nod to him. I guess from now on, I have friend to talk with in my boredom #life. P.S from author: sorry for grammar mistakes, I don't speak english in daily #life. and this story, is my memory of few years ago~
