The Next Day
"Hey Rocky you want to go shopping with me?" Camille smiled as she walked into the lobby "Um, sure" Rocky smiled and got off of the couch she was sitting on. "Awesome, come on" Camille gestured to her car in the parking lot.
The two girls got into the car and Camille started to drive "So have you met anyone else?" Camille asked "I haven't met anyone but I got to see my best friends again" Rocky replied "Who are your best friends?" Camille asked "Logan Carlos Kendall and James" Rocky replied "You know them?" Camille asked "Yeah! Back in Minnesota they like, lived at my house. We met on the first day of Pre-K" Rocky smiled "Oh wow, I can't even imagine what they were like back then. Tell me about the day you met" Camille nodded eagerly. Rocky smiled as the familiar memory filled her head as clear as could be.
Rocky and her mom were both running late and Logan and his mom were too. The four collided on the front steps and both moms jumped up to see if the kids were okay. Rocky and Logan were both laughing so hard the tears ran down their cheeks. The two sat there for ten minutes before their mothers pulled them up and brushed them off. "Mommy, I'm scared" Logan said to his mother "Don't be sweetie" she kissed her sons forehead "But what if I don't make any friends?" he asked "You will" she patted his shoulder and nudged him to the door. "Don't be nervous, and I'm your friend" Rocky smiled and took Logan's hand in hers. "I'm Rocky" she smiled again "I'm Logan" Logan smiled at his new friend and both mothers smiled. "Come on, we're already late" Rocky laughed and pulled Logan in the school with her. "Rocky, I don't know" Logan started to pull away but Rocky pulled him back "It's okay" she smiled "You have me no matter what" she held up their hands and Logan smiled "Okay". The two walked into the classroom hand in hand.
The morning consisted of coloring and learning the ABC's and then lunch time came around. Rocky and Logan sat together when three boys walked over. The all told each other their names and the three boys sat down. "Why are you combing your hair?" Rocky asked James "So I can get pretty girls!" James replied in a matter-of-fact tone "Yeah well I'm a girl and I think it's weird" Rocky stated, Logan smiled slightly and James just stared at her. "That's not nice" he stated, Rocky cracked a smile and soon James and her were laughing. "Wanna know why I wear my helmet?" Carlos asked eagerly "Sure" Rocky shrugged "So that I can do awesome stunts with it and not get hurt!" Carlos smiled. Rocky giggled and turned to Kendall "You know, you have really pretty eyes" she smiled "Thank you, you're eyes are really bright" Kendall smiled back "Thanks" Rocky grinned.
Logan smiled at his new friends and pulled out a book of numbers that the teacher had let him borrow. He started to read and he looked up to see Carlos balancing a spoon on his nose.
"Hi weirdo" Logan looked up again to see a boy much larger than himself standing over him "Hi" Logan squeaked out. "You're reading at lunch time? That's weird!" the boy smacked the book out of Logan's hand. Rocky stood up and stared daggers at the boy "You don't hit my friend's book out of his hands" she snapped. She gently picked up the book and handed it to Logan, then turned back to the boy. "What are you going to do, if I do?" the boy taunted, light shoving Rocky backwards. "Don't push me!" Rocky snapped at him, the boy chuckled slightly and pushed her backwards again "What are you going to do?" he smirked. Rocky smirked back at him before using all her strength to punch the boy. He fell to the ground and the teacher ran to them "Principals Office. Now. All six of you." she pointed to the door and helped the boy up.
All six kids sat down across from the Principal, Mr. Mason. "Now, I have one numbers book in shreds and a boy with a black eye. Can anyone explain?" he spoke stirnly at the kids. "Logan was reading the number book and then he came over and knocked the book out of Logan's hand and called him weird. So I told him not to do that to my friend and he kept pushing me and asked me what I was going to do if he kept pushing me so I punched him." Rocky explained. Mr. Mason looked to the other kids "Is this true?" he asked, Kendall James and Carlos all nodded. "Jason, is this true? Did you keep pushing her after she told you to stop?" Mr. Mason asked. Jason slowly nodded and continued to poke his black eye forming. Mr. Mason nodded and stood up "Now Ms. Rocky. I understand that you were standing up for your friend and for yourself, but if somebody wont stop next time, come to me" he told her "And Jason, you don't lay a hand on anyone else exspecially if they tell you to stop." Jason nodded. "I'm going to let you all off because it's the first day, but I need to call all of your parents. Jason come with me and we'll get you an icepack" Mr. Mason nodded to the door and Jason followed.
The five sat in silence for a minute or two whe finally Carlos spoke. "Rocky that was cool! I've never seen a girl punch that hard before!" he jumped up "And you gave him a black eye even!" Carlos laughed, Rocky giggled. "Rocky?" Logan asked "Yeah?" she replied "Thank you" Logan smiled and hugged Rocky. She smiled and hugged him back "Anything for a friend" she smiled again and kissed Logan's cheek. Logan's cheeks turned a deep scarlet red but he smiled. "My dad will love to hear that a girl gave a boy a black eye!" James exclaimed "So will my mom!" Kendall added. The five kids burst into laughter and from that day on, they were best friends.
Camille was laughing so hard tears were running down her cheeks when Rocky finished. "You were an ignorant child!" she laughed "I know!" Rocky smirked. "Wow, so your friendship all started with you punching some kid?" Camille asked "Yup" Rocky smiled "What were the guys doing when this all happened?" Camille asked "Logan was clutching the numbers book to his chest and was staring at us, Kendall stood up and was standing right behind me, and James and Carlos just sat there like idiots" Rocky replied. The two girls burst into laughter and Camille stopped the car. "Come on let's go" Camille smiled.
