Jinx walked towards the swings, her little feet dragging her so. She wanted to play with someone, someone who wouldn't tease her. Sitting, the swing rocked slowly as she listened to the creak of the old metal bar.
"How come no one likes me…?" Jinx mumbled.
She turned and saw another figure next to her and gasped. Dark hair, onyx eyes, skin as pale as the moon- she thought he was an angel.
"Hi…" Jinx got out.
He turned to look at her, looking up solemnly. He didn't say anything as she sat closer, watching her every move.
"I'm Jinx…Oname wa?"
"Sasuke desu…" was the only thing the child mumbled.
Both looked at each other for a long time, neither saying anything. "Do you live around here?" Jinx asked.
The boy nodded.
'Not much a talker is he?'Jinx thought.
Sasuke spoke in a soft voice. "I have to go…will you be here tomorrow?"
Jinx nodded, watching him stand and leave.
"Jinx? Jinx…" Sasuke poked her in the arm.
"Huh? What's wrong?" She looked up at the twelve year old boy, looking at her.
"You stopped walking."
"Oh." She caught up to him slowly, blushing at him.
"I'll come over tomorrow okay?"
"…Okay.." Jinx went forward to hug Sasuke tightly, sort of sad when he didn't move.
Sasuke's mouth twitched into something like that of a smile and hugged her back. "Good night. Sleep well."
