Age 8
Courtneys P.O.V
Mama I don't wanna play with a boy!"I shout as I pull on my mothers hand. "Hush Courtney we have to make a good impression on the new neighbors. I need you to play with him today so mama can mama some friends. Can you do that for mama?" "Okay." I sigh.
*ding dong*
"Coming!" A voice within the house shouted. A short blonde woman opened the door holding the hand of a not too pleased looking boy. 'Vivian!" my mother shouted. "Julie! It's so good to see you! welcome to the neighborhood. Oh I almost forgot this is my son Duncan. Duncan say hi.""hi." said the boy Duncan. "This is my daughter Courtney." said my mother. "it's very nice to meet you." I say curtsying. "What are you a princess?" Snorted Duncan, "Why are you curtsying Princess?" "Duncan have some manners!" yelled his mom, embarrassed he would be so rude to strangers.
"Oh it's fine fine Vivian, I'm sure Duncan was just teasing. Weren't you Duncan." Asked my mother. "Of course " He replied. "Alrighty we'll leave you kids to it! Come on Julie let me show you our kitchen we just had it redone." said Duncan's mom, her voice disappearing as they walk down the hallway.
"OW!" I scream as I feel someone pull on one of my pigtails. "what was that for!?" I scream at Duncan. "I didn't do anything!" He screams back "YOU pulled on my pigtail... You...You Ogre!" "Ha-Ha ogres aren't bad stupid!" "Are too!" "Are not! Shrek isn't bad!" "Well Shrek is stupid!" "Your stupid!
"URGG!" I scream as I push Duncan to the ground. As I turn to walk into the house to find my mother, Duncan grabs my leg and pulls me to the ground. As I struggle to stand, Duncan throws dirt on my dress and sits on my back. "Get off me!" I scream struggling under Duncan's weight. "Oh does the princess want me to move?" He mocks me. Losing my patients I wiggle until I am turned upright and punch Duncan in the tummy. He holds his belly and screams "MOOOM!" our mothers come running out of the house at the sound of shouting and when they see us they look shocked.
My hair is a mess from Duncan's pulling and I'm covered in dirt from being sat on my dress is all wrinkled and I have scratches on my legs. Duncan has scratches on his arms and is also covered in dirt he's holding his stomach from when I punched him and is struggling not to cry.
"Now what happened here?" questions Duncan's mother. "Courtney punched me for no reason!" "Liar! I only punched you because you pulled my pigtails and pulled me to the ground!" I shout back, mad that Duncan would try to blame me. "Sh's the liar mama make her go away!" Duncan pleads "why you rotten no go-" "Courtney!" My mother shouts looking angry "I'm sorry Viv, I guess we'll have to postpone that coffee. It was nice meeting you. You too Duncan. I apologize for Courtney's behavior." my mother says while pulling me away.
As I look back I see Duncan standing on his porch smirking at me. When he sees that I'm looking at him he sticks out his tongue and walk's back into his house
I hate him, is the last thing I think before my mother opens the door to our house.
