"Let me out!" screamed a terrified eight year old Alex. She was trapped in total darkness with four walls closing in on her. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she remembered what had happen.

She was playing hide and seek with two boys from her school. Their names were Shane and Donnie. Alex was so happy when they invited her to join them. In school Alex was the most popular kid because her aunt was a famous actress but when all the excitement about her aunt was over, Alex was lonely all over again. In real life, Alex doesn't have any friends because all the other kids assumed she was too good to play with them.

"Okay," said Shane. "I'll seek and you guys hide. 10…15…20…25…"

Alex jumped with excitement and started running to find a place to hide. She saw a refrigerator near her house. She wondered where it came from but then didn't care because it would make a great hiding place. Alex hid for a while and then she heard Shane's and Donnie's voices. She wondered what was going on and then she heard a noise.

"I hope you like it in there Alex!"

'What?' thought Alex. She tried to push open the door but it wouldn't budge. She felt trap and started to gasp for air. She pounded on the door and screamed, "Let me out you guys!"

Shane just laughed. "Why don't you ask your aunt to help you? Act like you're better than us just because she is famous."

Alex's heart sank. She couldn't believe it. She thought Shane and Donnie were her friends but they had tricked her. She began to cry. "I don't act like I'm better. Please let me out."

Donnie began to laugh. "This will teach you to mess with us." Then he and Shane left.

In the dark Alex sat and curled herself into a little ball. She was terrified. She was scared of the dark and worse, she was afraid of being alone. Then she heard a knocking.

A little girly voice called out, "Is someone in there?"

Alex stood up and banged her fists against the door. "Hurry up and let me out!"

"Wait!"

She heard the noise of wood sliding and the door suddenly opened. Just as she saw light coming she pushed her way out. She bent over and began breathing fast because she almost ran out of air when she was inside the refrigerator. Then someone came into her view. When she looked up she saw a pair of big brown eyes staring back at her. It was a girl in pig tails that saved her. They looked at each other for a while and didn't say anything. Then the girl looked down and kicked her foot into the dirt.

"Umm…what were you doing in my fridge?"

Alex looked at her and then she turned away and ran into her house, leaving the girl staring after her.

'Huh? What just happened here?' Mitchie thought. "God! I'll never understand kids like her!" she screamed out loud. She was watching Alex as she ran into the house next door.

"What don't you understand sweetie?" her grandpa asked as he came out the front porch to look for her.

"Oh nothing Grampie."

"Come here." He waved for Mitchie to come sit with him on the porch swing. She walked over to him and sat on his lap.

"Yes Grampie?"

"Do you like it here?"

She nodded her head. "Ah huh. I get to be with you all the time but I'm still mad at mommy and daddy for leaving me." She frowned and crossed her arms.

Her grandpa let out a little laugh. "Silly girl, your parents are geologists. They have to travel around the world. They can't take you with them because you have school. Besides they'll send you presents."

Mitchie's eyes got wide. "Presents? A lot?"

"Yes."

She clapped her hands. "Yay!"

Back at home Alex buried her face into her pillow and cried. Then she heard a knock on her door.

"Alex?" Alex quickly wiped her nose on her sleeve.

"Yes? Come in."

Then her mother came in. "What's wrong honey? Why are you crying?"

She shook her head. "Oh it's nothing mom."

Her mom looked around her room. "Where are your friends?"

Alex tried her best not to cry. "They….they went home." Her mom hugged her.

"Oh, you're sad that they had to go home so early?" Alex held onto her mom tighter and didn't answer. Her mom thought for a while. "Hey I know. A new family just moved in next door. An old man and a girl. You can go play with her. Do you want to?"

"Okay mom."

~Ding dong~

Mitchie stopped putting her toys away and looked up at the front door. 'Hmm…I wonder who it could be?'

"Mitchie! Answer the door!"

"Okay Grampie."

When she opened the door she saw a pretty lady and the girl she helped earlier. "Hi!" She grabbed Alex's hand. "Are you okay?" Alex just looked at her and didn't answer.

"Oh you two already met?"

"Not really. I don't even know her name."

"I see. You can call me Mrs. Russo and this is my girl Alex. Is your grandfather home?"

"Ah huh. My name is Mitchie Torres. Come in."

Mitchie closed the door behind them. Then she ran upstairs to get her grandpa. Then the grandpa told her, "Why don't you and Alex go outside while Mrs. Russo and I have a talk?"

"Okay Grampie. Come on Alex," she said as she pulled Alex out of the house with her.

When they got outside Mitchie felt a hard shove behind her back. She fell on the grass but something there cut her leg and made her bleed. She looked up and saw Alex glaring at her with the coldest eyes she has ever seen.

'Don't pretend you want to be my friend,' thought Alex. She was going to make Mitchie pay for what Shane and Donnie did to her.

"Why did you push me?"

"I hate ugly girls! And you are really damn oogly!"

Mitchie opened her mouth in shock. She began to cry. Alex felt bad but she was still mad at what those guys did to her so she wasn't going to stop.

"What? Oh, are you crying? You are such a baby!"

That made Mitchie instantly stop. She stood up. "I'm not a baby!"

"Yes you are!" Alex yelled back.

Then Alex yanked on one of her braids and pulled the ivory ribbon out. "Ow!" Mitchie yanked back her hair and then replied, "You're the baby! Who was crying inside my fridge huh?" That made Alex really mad. She pushed Mitchie hard. Mitchie fell down and cried really loud. Her grandpa and Mrs. Russo ran out.

"What happened Mitchie?"

Mitchie pointed her finger at Alex. She began to sob again. "She…she—"

"I accidentally made her fall," cut in Alex.

Mitchie looked up at Alex in shock. 'That liar!' she thought.

"I'm sorry," said Alex as she began to bawl. She looked at Mitchie with her puppyish eyes. "I didn't mean to make you fall."

Mrs. Russo held Alex. "I know you didn't mean to make Mitchie fall."

Then her grandpa asked, "Are you okay Mitchie?"

Mitchie looked up and saw Alex's lips move. "Baby," she said loud enough just for her to hear.

Mitchie bit her lip. "I'm okay Grampie. It was an accident."

"I'm sorry Mr. Torres but I have to be home and prepare dinner for my husband. It was a pleasure meeting you. Bye Mitchie!"

"Bye," said Alex and she gave Mitchie a wave. Mitchie watched them as they left. Then she saw Alex turn around and give her a little smirk. She glared back at her.

'It's war. I'm going to hurt you one of these days Alex Russo,' she promised herself. This was the beginning of a NOT so beautiful friendship…
