Pshhhhhhh!
The bus stops in front of my house. I immediately hurry off the bus and run into my house.
“Ah! There you are! I’ve been waiting for you! Can you help me give this to our neighbours?” Mother hands me a heavy bag. I peek inside and see a dozen or so juicy oranges. Mmmm. Smells nice.
“Okay.” I heave the bag into both hands and stagger out the door. It’s not that hard to find the neighbour’s house. I ring the bell and plaster a big smile on my face.
A girl with shoulder-length red hair and a fringe pokes her head out. The girl slowly opens the door and emerges. I see that she is about the same height as me, maybe a bit taller. She looks at bit older than me, and is wearing different shades of yellow. She smiles brightly.
“Hi! What’s your name? How old are you?” She inquires.
“I-I-My name is Alice Black…” I take a deep breath. “Hi, we just moved in, and we’ll be your new neighbours! Here’s a gift for you! Hope you like it!”
“Oh…Okay, I’m Jade! Jade Thompson. Nice to meet you! Ummm…You want to…come in?” She said and pointed into her house. Alice stared blankly at her. Jade smiled at waved in front of her eyes. With a start, Alice realised what Jade had said and happily agreed.
Dear Diary,
I just came back home from a meeting with my neighbour Jade Thompson. Dont't worry, it went pretty well, and she even asked me to come in. She's nice, but she was a bit...I don't know, didn't show any emotion of me moving in. I hoped she would be happier.
Anyway, after I went in, she offered me something to eat-my favourite apple. Turns out that they love apple too! And by they I mean the Thompson family. Their father cuts up a bunch of apples in half and they just eat them like that. I'm supposed to go to their house tomorrow, to plan a new year celebration with Jade. We're thinking of having a party and inviting everyone in the neighbourhood to attend. That'll be nice. Can't wait for after school tomorrow!
Oh, and I forgot, Jade's just a year older than me, but not the same school. But we still have a lot of time to do the planning and stuff... It's going to be a nice day tomorrow, I think. I'm feeling a bit....
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
