Old Friends

Chapter 1- a visit from someone…..rather hairy?

A/N: the first few lines are using a narrator. Ill use paragraphs to change to Frida's narrating. Enjoy!

It was a Saturday afternoon, and young 13-year old, blue haired Frida Suarez was walking to her best friend, Manny Rivera's house. When she got there, he was still sleeping. "Still? It's pretty late to still be sleeping. I'll wake him up." She said to herself, knowing the way her best friend was like. She walked herself to his room and softly chanted his name.

"Manny? Manny, wake up." I poked him lightly.

"Manny! WAKE UP!" he turned away from me.

"MANNY!" I pushed him off his bed, hoping that would work. And it didn't. so I decided to try one last trick. Sitting on him. I smacked myself on his body, shouting, "WAKE UP!!" it worked. But then he swung up quickly and smacked heads with me. We both moved our mouths and accidently kissed while smacking heads.

"GAAHH!!!!!! What the heck was that for? I was sleeping!" he groaned, as he rubbed his head in the spot we hit.

"yeah, at noon! Why so late?" I got up and offered a supporting hand.

"noon? It's that late? Sorry, I was up late last night playing video games." Of course he was! Its Manny, what do I expect. He does come from a family half consisting of supervillans.

"nice, dude" I gave credit for late-night activity.

"well did you have to sit on me? That hurt my head." The room fell silent at the thought of us locking heads, and lips. I noticed him blush a little.

"yeah…..you wouldn't wake up. Dude, you're one heavy sleeper!" I complained.

"oh….sorry. I'll go get dressed, then." Noticing that he was still in his pajamas, he walked to the bathroom and changed. As I sat there waiting, a sudden shock came to my face. Something had slipped secretly into Manny's room. It was hairy, and black. "raul? What are you doing here?" he said that noting it is Christmas, he was going to help Frida tell Manny that she loved him.

"what? Dude, no. he's my best friend, but not in that way."

He signed 'then why did you kiss him?' gah, crap….how does a mustache find out about that? Cuz….oh. right. Undercover mustache, duh.
"oh. that. yeah, the thing is…..its sort of a…. well it's a……. more of a…… I can't say, he's right there. Don't let him know you're here.k?" Raul silently agreed and left. Manny walked out of the bathroom and we walked out.

"so what ya wanna do?" he asked, boredly.

"eeh, I don't know. Kiss?" of course, I wanted to say that. Not happening. We ended up going to the arcade. For a long time, which usually isn't long for us.

But what did Raul mean? He wants to help me? Was it possibly with the one thing I asked for to receive for Christmas this year; Manny's heart? That's the one thing I want the most.
