My body was suddenly tight! I tried to free myself. I was like little ropes. When I tried to look around I felt a tug in my front side. I closed my eyes for I knew who it was. I braced myself for the third tug, I felt it. I said, “Hello Fiona, Mya, and Olivia.”
At the time I was in 5th grade. The three little clings were in 2nd grade. I don’t know why they like me so much. Maybe because I love them all, or maybe I like to hang out with kids younger than me, or maybe just my hobbies of artwork, electronics, or being fun.
When I walk in the hallway I hear “JOJI!!!” I feel a tug. And I say “Hi guys!” I get a reply of “Can we play sometime?” I always answer “Yes!”
It might be a mystery forever, but I will always know that they look up to me…
And that will be more special than any friendship…
I will remember them for giving me hope, for they do not know it!
