The day Leo and I became best friends:

This was my first day of Kindergarten and I was scared. My mommy told me that it would fun and exciting. I would meet other children my age that I could play with. Kindergarten was supposed to be fun and exciting my mommy told me. She put my hair in a perfect ponytail and I twirled it around with my fingers. I put my blue jeans and white collar shirt on. It was a private school and it there was a uniform requirement. She dropped me off at school and walked me to my class. There was a bunch of kids there. I was really excited. I gave my mom a kiss and waved her goodbye. She told me that I'd see her later on. The first person I met was Leo and he wasn't very nice to me. He pulled my ponytail and it hurt. I cried a bit and had tears coming down my face. He was a meanie and I didn't want anything to do with him. I bit him on the arm for hurting me. Leo started to cry. The teacher Ms. Matthews pulled us both aside and made us apologize to one another. We then had to stand in the corner for our bad behavior. It was only 5 minutes, but it felt like forever to a 5 year old kid.

Ms. Matthews had us sit by on the opposite side of another girl. Her name was Beth and 5 years old too. She was really pretty. Beth was wearing a sparkling pink dress with ruffles. Her mommy let her wear earrings in her ear. My mommy didn't. She said that I was too little. I had to wait until I was older. I turned around and Leo stuck his tongue out at me. I tried to ignore him but he sat down by me. I tried to scoot away from him but he kept moving closer to me. Finally I was mad. I stood up and kicked him in the shin and made him cry. This time it was even louder. The kids around us were laughing and I screamed out "that's not funny."

I knelt down to Leo and apologized to him. "I'm sorry Leo for kicking you. It wasn't nice of me."

Leo looked at April. "Are you really sorry for kicking me?"

"Yes Leo. You can pull my ponytail again if it makes you feel better."

"No April. I only did it because I wanted to be your friend."

"You're a boy."

"You're a girl."

"Okay. I'll be your friend Leo."

"Bestfriend."

"What does that mean?"

"My daddy says it means we do everything together. Including playing in dirt?"

"Ewe"

"You have to play Barbie's with me then."

"Gross…"

"Fine Leo. How do we become best friends?"

"I have an idea. Come closer."

April leans closer and that's when Leo kissed her on the lips.

"Ewe Leo, that's gross."

"Now we are best friends April forever."

"Best friends forever Leo."
