Hey. My name's Beck and I'm 9. I live at 37 West Avenue in New York. I'm an only child so things can get pretty boring around here. Lucky for me my best friend Sydney lives right next door. I guess she's pretty much my only friend too. She's awesome though! She's my favourite person in the whole world. Sydney has blue eyes and blonde hair. We've been best friends for as long as I can remember, mum says we liked each other right from birth. All I know is she's super fun! We do everything together. Our favourite thing to do is go to the park. The nearest park has LOADS to do! There's a swing set and a slide and a climbing frame and a zip wire and a sea saw. There's also this huge field where Sydney and I like to play tag and catch and Frisbee and Football and all our other favourite games. It's great for picnics too so my family often spends the day there when the weather's nice. Sydney's family comes too. Our parents are best friends just like us.
I like where I live. It's close to school, close to the beach and the park and to the shops. The people 'round here are nice too; there just aren't many kids. I'm pretty sure it's just Sydney and me for a few blocks. I guess that's a shame but I'm happy spending time with her. Sometimes I get bored when she's ill so maybe it'd be nice to have another kid around but whatever. My best friend and I do just fine.
Sometimes Sydney and I fight. I don't like those times. Dad says that all friends fight, that still doesn't mean it's fun. I think Sydney and me must be awesome friends because our fights never last long. Sydney told me she had another friend before she moved here. They had a fight and never made up. Hearing that made me sad. I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost Sydney. But everything's good now.
Oh! I gotta go, mum says dinner's ready. We've got burgers! Yum!
