It was about 1959, my friends and I were all fourteen and fifteen, it was the first day of summer and we were all headed to the tree house to see what everyone was up to.
I walked out of the house to the smell of the fresh air the door slammed behind me. I looked through the houses and saw a black haired girl popping her gum skipping to the next street, then I realized it was my best friend Joey. "Hey Joey what's happening." I said as waving my hands and yelling at her from the next street. "Hey ,Mel, just heading to the tree house." She yelled as she walked over chomping on her gum. Josephine Widdler was my best friend, I had know I was five We had met when I accidentally ran into her about seven years ago, we started talking and then every day we walked to each others houses and called each other on the phone, then it happened we were best friends forever. "Hey" said Joey as she put her arm around me. We walked out of town and out of sight. Joey was a pure black head, and she had pure blue eyes as bright as the ocean when the sun shown at noon. She always wore dress that consisted of red, whether to be polka dots or pure red. Today she wore her favorite, a dress with strawberries on the bottom and the rest was red polka dots on the top. Her mom was never around and her father had died when she was one. As we reached 1900 pierce street, A wooden box came into sight, It was painted brown and had a lot of neat little things inside. It was our tree house that we built when we were ten. We got wood from the old lumber yard and Chris, Charlie, Jay, and Russ were attracted to it like they are attracted to girls. That's really how we met the boys of the group. We ran to the big split oak tree and climbed up the ladder. We knocked on it to see if anyone was in there and we climbed in. We climbed up to a cozy little hut. It had a bench on two sides of the tree house and it had a wooden table thing, we were never sure what it was, but the guys used it for poker and other card games. And A hammock in the corner were I slept some of the time.
