"I Hate you!" Nicholas Yelled at his mom as he left the house. 'Again, she forgot about the promise for today' He thought to himself as he stormed through the trees heading to his 'secret pond'. As he approached his little hiding spot he spotted a boy already there. He thought that he was the only one who knew of that spot.
Nicholas sucked in his breath and calmly let it out as he approached the young boy placing his hands on his hips. "Ahem!" He said as he stared at the him. The boy turned around glancing Nicholas in the eyes. The boy had Green eyes and what looked like soft, brown hair with light freckles scattered across his cheeks and his skin a slight pale color. As Nicholas stared at him, he notice that the boy was crying, making his green eyes sparkle like a shiny crystal. "Wh-Who are you?" The boy asked as he tensed up a bit.
"I should be the one asking you that! This is 'My' hiding spot." He glared crossing his arms over his chest. The boy stared at him blinking away some of his tears as he closed and opened his eyes again. "I-I'm sorry, I-I didn't know, I swear." Nicholas stared at him and sighed deeply as if he was now even more irritated, "There is no need to apologize." He said to him. "So, tell me, who are you?" The boy looked at him and sat up straight on his knees. "Jared, Jared Izaak Fuller, and may I ask who you are?" Nicholas huffed a bit, "Why should I tell you who I am?" Jared stared at him and looked down for a second and looked back at him and slightly frowned, "B-Because! I told you my name, it's only fare you tell me yours?" He let out what sort'of sounded like a pout.
"Nicholas Armon Copper." Nicholas said and walked over placing a seat next to the him. "So, what were you crying about?" He asked as he stared at the pond. Jared turned back towards the pond and stared down at the green grass that surrounded the area. "I lost my dog...Rodfer, actually, that's why i'm here. He ran this way and I lost him when I arrived to the pond..."Jared murmured as he began to tear up again. Nicholas looked at him and sighed deeply. "Than how about we look for your stupid dog? Boys shouldn't cry and I don't want ya weeping around me." Jared nodded his head and rubbed his eyes smiling happily before standing up, "Alright, let's start looking now, oh and he's not stupid!" He said as he began walking off calling out his dogs name. Nicholas just sighed and stood up and called out the dog name as well. Nicholas glanced around seeing if he can spot a dog and walked further down the grass towards the trees. "Rodfer! Rodfer! where are you, you stupid mutt." He mumbled out.
As Nicholas walked through the trees, he heard a faint barking further down the path and started running towards it. As he got closer he spotted a dog. He quietly sucked in some breath and let it out as he slowly approached the dog. As he got closer to him he leaned down and quickly grabbed it by it's collar and picked up. "Now be a good boy." He said and walked back down the path back to Jared. When he spotted Jared he walked to him. "Is this him?" He asked. Jared looked at him and his eyes widened happily, "Yes, That's Rodfer!" He said and grabbed him from out Nicholas arms and hugged him close to his chest "Don't run away again." He said and than looked at Nicholas, "Thank you, Nicholas."
