Author's note: Happy new year everybody! I hope you had a good celebration with your friends and family.
After school Ron went to Bueno Nacho to buy nachos for him and Rufus. He walked up to Ned so he could order, and Ned smiled and greeted him.
"Hola, can I take your order?" Ned asked.
"Yes I want two nachos with double cheese on, to go." Ron said.
"Thank you for the order." Ned said. "So how's it going with that petition?"
"I haven't startet yet, but i'm going to" Ron told him.
"Well good luck with that." Ned said. "Listen I bring back the naco if you get 15 signatures."
"That's a deal." Ron said and shaked hands with Ned.
"Here's your nachos." Ned said and handed over a bag with nachos.
"Thank you." Ron said and grabbed the bag and walked out.
Ron walked home and couldn't wait to see Rufus again, he had missed him. He hoped he could take Rufus on school with him tomorrow, but there was one problem he didn't have the chance to ask the principal since she chased him out of the office. Well he could just lie to his parents and tell them that the principal said it was alright to bring Rufus with him. But then he would probably get in trouble if he did.
Ron was almost home when he stopped at a familiar house, he might have been in once a long time ago. The house was brown and it was medium - sized split level, and it had a very nice view. Maybe it was there Kim lived? He sighed and walked back to his house.
He stopped outside his house and realized that his house was only three houses away from Kim's house. He opened the door and walked in.
"I'm home." Ron said. His parents walked out of the kitched and greeted their son.
"Hello, Ronald. How was your first day at the new school?" Harold asked.
"It was great." Ron said. And then he saw Rufus ran down the stairs and jumped up in Ron's pocked. "Hi, Rufus it's nice to see you too. I brought nachos."
"Rufus missed you alot today." Judith told him. "So did you ask the principal for permission to take Rufus with you on school?"
"Yes I did." Ron lied. He hated to lie to his parents, but he was afraid to ask the principal since she scared him.
"That's good." Judith said.
"Can I ask you guys something?" Ron asked.
"Yes of course you can." Harold replied.
"Do you remember when you told me about that girl I was friend with in pre school? Was her name Kim?" Ron asked.
"Yes I think that was her name. Why do you ask?" Judith asked.
"She's in my class." Ron told them. "Can I look at the photo album?"
"She's in your class?" Judith asked and smiled. "Harold find the photo album."
"I be in the kitchen while you guys tries to look for the album." Ron said and walked in to the kitchen.
Ron sat down on the chair and put the bag with the nachos on the table. Rufus jumped on the table and smelled at the bag. "Mmm nachos." Rufus said.
"Here's a box with nachos to you and one for me. And eat it slowly, I don't want you to eat mine up like you did last time." Ron said and smiled to Rufus.
"Ronnie, here's the album." Judith said and showed him the album. Judith and Harold sat down with Ron and they looked at the album.
"So this old album have photos of me and Kim in it?" Ron asked and couldn't take his eyes away from the album.
"Yes." Judith replied.
Ron took a big breath and opened the album and looked at the first photo. The first photo was a class photo of them.
"That's you on the right Ron, and that girl on the left is Kim." Judith told him and pointed on the photo. Kim had pigtails and she had a green dress, and Ron had a red t- shirt and blue shorts on him "You were four when this photo was taken."
Ron looked at the photo and memories from that day came back. He remembered that Kim saved him from some bullies and they became best friend after that. Good times.
He turned the page and it was another photo of them with the same outfits. They were sitting on a bench together, smiling to the camera.
"That photo is from the same day. You was so happy that you got a new friend, and you wanted me to take a photo of you two." Judith told him.
Ron smiled and looked at another photo on the same page. On that photo both of them were standing in front of a christmas tree. Ron raised an eyebrow at this.
"Have we celebrated christmas before?" Ron asked and took a bite of his nachos.
"No we haven't. But you wanted to see how Kim's family celebrated christmas. And you acually liked it." Harold told him.
"I don't remember that." Ron said and shrugged.
"So you don't remember that you showed up every christmas to watch Snowman Hank?" Judith asked and smiled. "You still watch it you know."
"I know and it's the best show ever." Ron said in excitement.
He looked on the other page and it was another christmas photo, but this was with her whole family and Ron was on it. Her mother, father and her grandma, and two babies which her mother and father held, probably twins.
Ron turned the page over again and it was a photo of them again sitting on a swingsets. Both of them were smiling, and Kim was holding a stuffed animal.
"That photo was taken on that day we moved away, so that's the last photo of you two." Judith told him.
"So you didn't take more pictures of us in three years?" Ron asked.
"No i'm afraid so, but Kim's parents did. So I assume they still have photos of you two." Judith said and sighed.
"What's with that stuffed animal she's holding?" Ron asked and pointed at the stuffed animal Kim was holding on the photo.
"I think it's called Pandaroo? You gave it to her because you wanted something to remember you on." Judith told him.
"I wonder if she still have it?" Ron wondered.
"I hope so, because it was very expensive." Judith said.
"What did I get from her?" Ron asked.
"She gave you a friendship bracelet with her name on, but unfortunately you lost it." Judith said
"That's too bad." Ron sighed.
Ron looked at the photo and old memories of them startet to come back. That they were with eachother every day, and sleepovers.
"So Ronald why don't you tell her you two used to best friends?"Harold asked and looked over at Ron.
"I don't know. What if she doesn't belive me?" Ron said. "And she's popular that can't be seen with unpopular guys."
"That's not a excuse for not talking to her. Popular or not." Judith said and raised an eyebrow. "I don't think she bites if you talks to her."
Ron sighed. How was he going to tell Kim they used to friends? And what if she laughet at him? Maybe he could be friends with her and then tell her. Maybe he can talk to her when she's alone and not with her friends.
