Can we be friends?
Chapter One
Chrisa was sad, very sad. She watched as other children her own age played outside. She had wispy brown hair, green eyes, a beautiful smile and a big heart. But she was visually impaired and was a hunch back. She also had a rare condition which had caused her visual problems and altered her facial appearance so nobody could tell if she was a boy or a girl. Because of this, nobody where she lived wanted to play with her so she remained in her room and never came out. But one day something happened that changed her life forever…
She was sitting in the garden writing when she heard a noise come from her sister's sand pit. Curious, she walked over to it and opened the lid. Inside was an amazing creature. It had greyish fur, it had a lumpy stomach, it had the ears of a bat, eyes like a snail and whiskers like a rat. It had furry legs. This impressed her immensely. But it began to wake up. "Hello." It said to her. She smiled at this. "Hello I'm Chrisa. You look really nice." She told him. He laughed at this gently. "Really? You find something like me nice? Don't I look gross to you?" it said to her astounded. "No I don't think you're gross. But you seem… lonely." She told him. A gasp escaped the creature's throat and a lump re opened. But thunder began to rage loudly. She saw a look of fear on it's face. "You don't like rain or get wet, do you?" she said to him. He shook his head at that quietly. "Yes you're right. I don't like rain or getting wet because it would hurt me or kill me." It said to her. It then wrapped itself around her neck. "Let's go inside." She said as they went inside.
She went into her room but she could hear others her age laughing and it was making her sad. The creature could feel the sadness and wanted to make her feel better. "Maybe I could live here even if there's no sand in this world…" he thought as he looked out the window. Rain was pouring down the window glass and it was worrying him. He then saw the girl fall asleep on the bed. It then cuddled against her, making her feel better…
