Hi guys! I'm Wild Kratts Fan1, and you might know me from writing part 2 of "What Hurts" for Snowflake 1814. Here's a little Story of my own.
It was a fine day. The birds were singing, it wasn't too hot, not too cold, and here comes the bus. Summer was over, and everyone was back off to school. It was a very big day for Chris Kratt. His first day of high school. He was quite excited. If you saw though that day, you might not recognize him. He had dark freckles on his face, from playing outside every day that summer, and his hair wasn't as pointy as you might see it as today, just a few points in the back. He climbed on the bus, with his 4 year older brother, Martin, not far behind. Martin was starting his senior year, so while Chris sat next to his freshman friends, Martin sat next to his senior friends. When they got to school, Chris was talking to his brother before going in. Martin: You know bro, I remember my first day of high school. Chris: Really? Martin: Yeah, you know that girl I was talking to on the bus? Chris: Yuo mean the black girl with the orange school uniform on that you said you missed all summer? Martin: Yeah, her name's Koki, and I met her on the first day of high school. Chris: How come I never saw her all these years? Martin gave a sad look. Martin: She goes with her family to see relatives every summer. It's a tradition they have. Chris: Wow. I wonder if I'll make a new friend too... Chris trailed off because he heard a fight going on at the top of the school steps. At the top, he saw a beautiful black haired girl with a high ponytail in her hair, trying to get her books back from what looked like Zach. And sure enough... Girl: Zach! Give me back my books! My science scrapbook's in there! Zach: Oh, you mean...this? He pulled a book out of the girl's backpack that was purple that said "PRIVATE" with yellow letters on the cover. Girl: Yes! Give it back! Zach: Sure. Oops! Zach threw the book into a nearby puddle. The girl ran over to get her book before it got too wet. girl: Why do you always pick on me? When she turned around, Zach was gone, and all her books were scattered on the sidewalk. Chris: Oh no. Martin: Hey Chris? Where you goin'? Chris ran up the steps and tried to help with the picking up of books. Suddenly they both grabbed the same book! The girl and chris tugged over the thing. When the girl brought her hand up to get a better grip, it touched Chris' hand! Then she looked up. Chris couldn't get over how her eyes sparkled. He let go of the book, and let her have it. Chris looked at her wet scrapbook. Chris: sorry about your book. Girl: It's okay, i'll dry it in the bathroom. Chris couldn't get over how familiar the girl looked. Finally he knew, he had to know. Chris: You look very familiar. Girl: you do too. Chris: Does Chris Kratt ring a bell? Girl: No. Does Aviva Corcovado ring a bell? Chris: Corcovado doesn't, but...Aviva...Aviva...Oh! I know! Your're the one with the two black ponytails in your hair that saved me from the bully, Eric, in elementary school! Aviva: You're right! I knew you looked familiar! Chris: Well, I hope I look a lot better now. Aviva: Actually, you do. Bruise purple is so not your skin tone. They both laughed over the joke. Martin walked right on by, figuring Chris needed some time alone with the girl. Martin knew Chris probably couldn't tell, but he knew. Chris was in love! But little do they know that that love could almost tear a brother-ship apart!
