This is a memory about Vert and Max's childhood. I hope you like the story memories. :)


New friend

A small town known as Handler's Corners in the middle of the desert of Arizona. Where a young eight year old, Vert Wheeler plays around in the garage with his red ball alone. Vert was now an orphan his mother die after birth and his father went missing and never come back over eight years ago. He's very lonely, have no friends and no one's not take care of him. He stay his father's garage as his home then he heard someone called out to him.

Vert turned around to see Sheriff Johnson walking toward him, "Hey, son. How are ya?"

"I'm fine, Mr. Johnson. Just playing around with my ball… alone." He said with a sad tone. Sheriff Johnson is the only person to keep an eye on him as he take care of him. Sheriff Johnson bents down to Vert and says, "Hey, I have friend, who would like to see you," he said, Vert tilted his head confused.

Vert was now riding inside Sheriff Johnson's police car as they drive through the town. Then Sheriff Johnson stopped his car he steps out his car follow by Vert behind him. The eight year old boy saw a woman. She has brown hair, brown eyes, she wears white shirt with short sleeves, light brown jeans, and gray shoes. Sheriff Johnson walks up to her and greeted, "Hello, Molly." the woman named Molly giggled and greeted back, "Hello to you too, Johnson." Molly notice Vert right behind her friend. She walks over to him and bents down, "Hello. You must be Vert Wheeler. Am I right?" The eight year old nodded in replied.

"Well I have someone who would like to be friends with you." Vert just looked at her in confusion. Molly turned and calls out to someone, Vert look over and saw a three year old boy. The boy has dark brown hair, light blue eyes, he wears blue t-shirt, white short pants and dark blue shoes. Vert could see that this boy is much younger than Vert about 5 years. The little boy walked over Molly and stand next to her, "This boy here is my son, Maxwell McGrath. But you can call him, Max for short."

"Hi." Vert greets to Max with a smile, "H-Hello," Max replied in a shy tone, "My son doesn't have friends like you, Vert. Is it okay for you to become friends with my son?" With a nod from Vert, he then looks at Max and asked, "Hey, Max want to play with me with my ball?" Max smiled and nod his head.

The two young boys run off to play. Vert was happy to have a newfound friend: Max. And he felt no longer lonely anymore. Now Vert and Max play each other.
