Making a Friend

Dear Diary:

When I meant Jake it was like……… wow……. My heart was beating a mile a minute! Sure back home I had crushes on guys but this felt different! Suddenly my whole body just heated up and I felt like I could fly. He's nice and I volunteered to help him earn some money to expand his house. He still owes Tom Nook like 17, 000 bells! I decided to go on a little fishing trip tomorrow. Time for bed, night!

I closed my dairy and sat back blushing. With a yawn I ran a hand through my hair, ruffling it. My eye lids were growing heavy so I stood and crossed to my bed. Throwing the sheets open I crawled in and turned the lamp off plunging the room into black.

The next morning I pulled on my old Daisy shirt and grabbed my fishing rod. As I stepped out of the door for a split second I was blinded by the early morning light.

"Good morning!" Jake told me cheerfully. Once I blinked away the light spots dancing in my vision I spotted him standing near the bulletin board, rod in hand. He was wearing a camo shirt and a pair of black shorts.

"Good morning!" I replied trying not to blush. When I started to fail at that I turned away, looking at the sky for signs of bad weather ahead. The blue sky was crystal clear.

"For this time of year," I told him. "The best place to fish is the lower river and sea." He regarded me silently for a moment as I watched through the corner of my eye.

"Let's go!" he said finally and I led the way.

As we walked, I noticed Jake getting rather confused and scolded myself for not remembering it was only his second day.

"Did Tom Nook give you a map?" I asked him and he nodded pulling out a folded piece of paper from his pocket. We paused from walking so he could unfold it and smooth it out on his knee. Carefully I moved closer so I could look at the map from the same angle he was. Our shoulders knocked together and I forced down the lump that was building in my throat.

"We live in C2, and we have walked two squares east to E2," I pointed this out on the map for him. "Next we go one square south to the first slope then two more to the second. (1)" He nodded again and closed the map.

"Lead on," he motioned with a grin.

By 10 we had both caught 15 fish each and many were worth a few good bells. Slinging our rods over our shoulders and hefting our bundles of fish we started our trek towards Nook's Cranny. The conversation we had been having changed a lot, but neither of us spoke of our past most likely for fear that the other would ask about ours. Currently we were talking of our dreams for the future.

"Great friends," I smiled and he gave me a questioning look. "I'll I want are some great friends. Angie from Mikevill is my best friend but that's about it." I let out a small sigh.

"I'll be your friend," Jake whispered to me. "I think both of us are kind of lonely here so it would be cool if we're friends." He explained hurriedly and I noticed his cheeks turning slightly red.

"I'd like that," I murmured as we rounded the last corner to Tom Nook's store. "I really would."


A.N. (1) The village on my game is split into three levels and I managed to forget how many squares there are on the map... oh well!

If your wondering about Rose's house I'm saying that Tom provided a bed lamp, desk and chair, sorry I forgot to mention that.

The start of a beautiful friendship... and maybe more! Hope your enjoying it. R&R please!
