Grade 2

Derek hated bologna sandwiches but he didn't want to tell his dad that because it was Simon's favorite and his dad took time out his morning to make it for Derek. So he had to eat the bologna even though his favorite was strawberry jam.

His paper bag crumped when he pulled it out of his bag. Grade 1 was easy for Derek the school was even letting him skip a few grades because they didn't want him to waste his time learning stuff he already knew. The school board was still discussing if it was going to happen. He was excited to get a more challenging class but the thing was he would leave behind Chloe and Simon. He worried about it, what happens if someone tried to pick on either them in class Derek wouldn't be able to be there for either of them and he didn't like the thought of that ever happening.

He was so in thought he didn't notice little Chloe sneaking up behind him in the cafeteria. She was trying her hardest not to laugh at Derek. He was zoned out in thought glaring at his bologna sandwich. She slammed her tinny hands on the table

"BOOO!" she yelled at Derek. He jumped a bit and his emerald eyes went huge looking at Chloe. They stared at each other and started laughing hard till Chloe had to sit down clutching her stomach.

"Whatch thinking about so hard Derek?" Tilting her head honestly worried about her friend, he always over thought things. He smiled up at her. She loved his smile; they were rare so she knew she had to treasure everyone she got.

"Me skipping a few grades, if I get in that means I have to leave you and Si." His lower lip pushed out in a pout. She knew he didn't whine about things so when he did it meant it was series. She knew her best friend inside and out. It might have taken her longer then she liked but she finally did. That's why she reached over and grabbed his sandwich passing hers over. She once had been obsessed with strawberry jam but now it was too sweet for her taste. Derek however could eat it every day without complaint he lived for the sticky sweet substance. She loved his bologna sandwich because his father put so much effort into his sandwich making skills. She called him a sandwich artist. So she told her maid to make strawberry jam because she loved switching with Derek because it was the one few times she could look out for her best friend. Well they only time he would let her.

"Did you know that you're the best-est friend in the whole galaxy Chloe?" He smiled at her and she could see one of his front teeth were missing. She leaned over the table to get a closer look.

"When did you lose that one?" Her mouth in a tiny O as she studied her friend's gap between his teeth.

"Last night" he mumbled "How much you get for it?" she asked. He pulled out a five dollar bill from his pocket. She laughed with him

"Hey Derek I think you should skip a couple grade because your obvious going to get it. You should worry about me and Si. We're going to stay at the same school just a different class. So don't worry about us or…. I'll stop switching sandwiches with you!" She crossed her arms to give her a more grown up look. Derek smiled at her attempted because the hello kitty shirt and plastic ring she loved wearing kind of defeated the purpose. He knew she was right and he really did love her sandwiches.

"Ok I'll do it but only if you promise that no matter what where going to be friends no matter what and I mean no matter what ok Chloe?" She grinned over at him both her front teeth missing. He still thought she looked like one of those beautiful angels that were in his dad's paintings.

She leaned over and extended out her right hand pinky sticking out.

She was happy she didn't want Derek to give up something for her because she was short and helpless. Derek seemed to keep growing every day while Chloe since last year managed to grow a couple inches she knew she would never catch up to her friend. His hair still swept into his emerald eyes which was the only thing she didn't like when it came to Derek. Derek loved how Chloe's hair was always in braids. She developed an obsession to them after she watched "The Hunger Games" only a billion times. She raved about how the graphics where amazing and the plot and lines well put together. He would sometimes get bored of how every time he came over they would watch movie after movie but time with Chloe was never boring so he never quite minded anything as long as he had his best friend. She played video games with him because that's what he liked to do even though she wasn't really into them. He didn't ask her to play any sports because she had no talent for that what so ever she would end up hurting herself or the ones around her, but running that's something they both liked so racing was their favorite game.

"I pinky promise forever cross my heart hope to die stick a needle in my eye" Chloe even pretended to poke herself in the eye with an imaginary pin. Locking his pinky with hers he knew she wouldn't lie to him so he believed her.

Grade 2 was a pretty bland year for them nothing special really. But grade 3 however was different Derek was approved for skipping one grade ahead of Chloe and Simon. Over the summer after grade one they grew even close if that was possible. Buying walkie talkies so they could speech to each other before they went to be. They pretended to be spies going under dangerous missions, all summer they never grew bored of the game. Every day the missions changed from rescuing Simon from the evil villain Liz or stealing the precious strawberry jam jar without getting caught. It was perfect.

So making up to you I gave you chelerk fluff well as fluffy they can get at grade 2 and I know Sooo short but I just really want them to be older because I'm having a hard time figuring out something new every time when there young yet but none the less forgive me and FAVORITE/FOLLOW AND REVIEW IM BEGGING I LOVE REVIEWs SO PLEASE REVIEW (hehehhehe I mentioned HG sorry I'm a die heart fan)
