Mike was in the candy store with the other kids. Kevin had allowed her to have many jawbreakers as she wanted and his dad said it was okay. They each liked something about her. They got bored after a while though.
"Hey Mike," Nazz said as she finished her jawbreaker. "Got any stories from back home?"
"Well, I do have a story that involves me, only it wasn't at home," Mike replied as her tongue turned green. It made her think of her old friend Lu's grass skirt. "It was when I was in the exchange program at school."
"Exchange program?" Jimmy asked. "Is that dangerous?"
"Not at all," Mike laughed. "You see, at my old school there was a poster for being an exchange student to go on an island."
"An island?" Sarah said in disbelief.
"Yeah, no joke!" Mike defended. "I was on a place called the Albonquetine Islands."
"What's that?" Rolf asked. "Rolf has never heard of these Albonquetine people!"
"They're not on the map, I checked once I got back in my old school. Their ancestors were on a boat called the Good Ship Betty Anne and they crashed on an island like 300 years ago and they named it after the ship captain, Joshua Wendell Albonquetine. I met their descendents, Lu and Og."
"Lu and Og?" Johnny asked. "Are they made out of wood?"
"No! Nothing like that!" Mike protested. "They were these island kids that became my best friends! Well, more like an inventor friend and a Princess Pain in the Butt..."
"You met a princess?" Jimmy sounded excited now.
"Totally rad, dude!" Nazz cheered.
"I think she's making it all up for attention," Sarah pointed out.
"Rolf also finds something fishy about this story," Rolf added.
"It's really true! Honest!" Mike said in defense.
"No way." Kevin said.
"Really guys! I'll show you when I get home!" Mike said.
"Okay prove it to us, missy." Sarah said. "After lunch though."
"Yeah, Mom should be making lunch by now anyway." Mike checked her watch.
"Meet us back here after lunch with your souvenirs!" Nazz left with the other kids.
Mike then went home and had lunch with her parents. They had spaghetti and meatballs. Mike ate it like an islander savage.
"Michellane Mavinsky, slow down!" Mrs. Mavinsky scolded.
"Sorry, sorry!" Mike slowed down. "And the name is Mike!"
"Listen to your mother, dear." Mr. Mavinsky told her. "So, did you make any new friends yet?"
"Uh-huh," Mike nodded. "A whole group of them!"
"Splendid! Who are they?"
"Well, there's this boy that has a bike most of the time, his name's Kevin. His Dad owns the candy store. There's this really weird boy with a wood plank around named Johnny. Also there's this girl every boy likes and she's kind of pinheaded, her name's Nazz. This Sarah girl is kind of bratty and annoying, but she looks up to me and she has her own best friend named Jimmy. There's also this foreign kid named Rolf, I think he's German or something."
"Wow you got your own little clique and you just moved in!" Mrs. Mavinsky praised.
"Yeah," Mike smiled. "We're going over at the candy store after lunch and I'm gonna show them my stuff from the islands."
"That sounds lovely," Mr. Mavinsky rose from the table after he finished lunch. "Well, I have to get to my new job, dears. Have a good day with your new friends, Mike!"
"Thanks Dad!" Mike smiled.
After lunch, Mike gathered some things in her purple backpack and strapped it on. "Mom! Going to the candy store!" Mike called out.
"Okay! Be home by 5:00!" Mrs. Mavinsky called back out.
Mike walked off and made her way to the candy store to meet the other kids. She looked all around the atmosphere of the cul-de-sac. Suddenly, she wasn't paying attention and ran into a different kid and they knocked each other down.
"WATCH WHERE I'M GOING!" he yelled at her.
"Geez, sorry!" Mike apologized and grabbed her backpack.
"Sorry don't cut it, sister!" the boy looked at her and noticed he hadn't seen her before. "Who are you supposed to be?"
"I'm Mike, I just moved in and I'm gonna meet the other kids at the candy store. Why don't you come along? The more the merrier!"
"You want me to hang out with you?"
"Yeah, why not? You seem cool to me."
"Oh... Okay..." the boy smirked. "What did you say your name was again?"
"Mike,"
"You seem rather girly to be a boy, Mike."
"I am a girl, I'm just a tomboy. Nice to meet you, umm..."
"Eddy."
"Eddy," Mike smiled.
"Why don't I join you later? I have to find my other friends right now for something important."
"What is it?"
"You'll find out later. See you later, Mike." Eddy left as he grabbed his jar for money.
"See ya later, Eddy." Mike waved with a smile.
Eddy looked back at her and noticed Mike smiling at him. He then looked away and walked off. "She smiled at me!" Eddy blushed slightly.
"He's weird, but I kinda like him. Makes me think of old Og boy when I first met him." Mike walked off to go into the candy store.
