I sat next to Toshiro. Mom walked by handing me my medication "Take it now and get it over with"
"But it makes me sleepy and I want to keep playing with Toshiro"
"Take it or he won't come over again, I don't want you sick again"
"Yes, mom" I sighed taking it then waited as mom put baked chicken on the table Erika and Dad dug in I waited patently and noticed when Toshiro didn't take any I motioned for him to eat he looked nervous. "Can I?" I nodded then got up from the table grabbing a note book and writing "Eat as much as you want I don't each much."
I ate my food quickly writing to Toshiro as he talked, telling me about where he had lived in Canada and why he had moved here because his grandmother couldn't stand the cold anymore. He told me about how much he missed the cold and the mountain's. I listened with out hearing. I loved his stories when I was done I went to the sink yawning and washed my dishes and told Toshiro to meet me upstairs once he was done. I walked into my room yawning and laid on my bed opening my computer trying to stay awake the last thing I remembered was reading over what I had written to Toshiro and remembering what he had told me.
Toshiro walked up the stairs full and walked in and stopped seeing Cho asleep on the bed he looked at her for a moment unsure what to do. Then heard footsteps behind him he turned seeing Cho's mom. "She's asleep isn't she Toshiro?"
"Yes, thank you for dinner"
She nodded "I,t was no problem I doubt Cho will get back up tonight, I will take you home ok?"
"I can walk home its not a big deal"
"No I think I will drive you ok I don't like children walking home on their own"
Toshiro felt a spark of anger at being called a child but suppressed it "That's fine" As Cho's mom drove him home she said "It has been nearly a year since Cho has had a real friend, when her old friend moved away she had a very hard time I am glad she met you. She talked to you more than she had anyone for a long time…"
Toshiro wasn't sure what to say he just nodded and said good bye as he got out walking into his home to finish his homework.
I woke up looking around it was dark in my room I cursed in my head I must have fallen asleep I looked at my clock it was two o'clock in the morning I knew I should probably go back to sleep but I didn't want to instead I got up and stumbled towards my computer turning it on and began to write a simple poem slightly bored then I turned on messenger and found Toshiro was online
