Chapter 3

New Beginnings

In a school nearby the forest there was a girl with brown hair and peach skin. She was wearing a white shirt with a pink flower on it and bright yellow pants and she carried a purple lunch-box in her hand. She was was patiently sitting on her desk waiting for the school bell to ring. Behind her, there were three boys sitting on separate desks whispering to each other. One wore a blue shirt and blue pants, another wore green pants and a green shirt, and the last one wore a red cap, a red shirt and red pants.

'' Look at her... sitting all by herself again, as usual'', The blue clothed boy said.

'' Relax Andy, well chase her home and give her the scare of the century'', The red clothed boy said.

'' Uh Tommy?'', the green clothed boy spoke,'' Can we get her lunch-box since I'm hungry?''

'' Sure whatever. Go ahead, Simon'', Tommy said,'' Since I'm the leader of this group I say that we should chase the girl down the street''.

The bell rung and the girl got up out from her seat and began to walk down the sidewalk, as the three boys walked behind her. The girl looked behind her back.

'' Oh, isn't this nice? It's the three stooges that are going to do something really stupid'', The girl said, with a smirk on her face.

'' Stupid? Let's pound her!'', Tommy said. The three boys chased after the girl.

'' Look, we just want your lunch-box. Just hand it over!'', Andy shouted.

'' Why can't you guys just leave me alone?'', The girl replied back.

The boys continued to chase the girl down the street.

625 woke up from the screaming he heard coming from a frightened little girl. He was at the edge of the sidewalk and he hid behind some bushes. He suddenly saw a girl run past him and she tripped over a rock in the sidewalk. She dropped her lunch-box as it landed in 625's arms. She cut her knee as the girl hid the pain in her eyes. 625 knew how she felt, he wanted to help her, but he didn't budge. The three boys stopped running and surrounded the girl. 625 knew he had to do something, now. He got out of the bushes and went in front of the girl.

'' Aww now isn't this cute? A small little doggie is protecting a girl'', Tommy said, teasingly.

625 snarled. The boys stepped back.

'' He may be small but he looks mean. Let's run for our lives! Vicious dog!'', Andy screamed. The three boys ran away.

625 looked at the girl and slowly walked up to her. He put his arms forward as he was giving her the lunch-box back.

'' Thank you'', the girl said, slowly. She put her hand forward to give the golden furred creature a pat on the head, but he backed away. He stared at the girl as he started to feel a connection to her.

He continued to stare at the girl until his stomach growled from hunger. 625 gave the girl a sheepish look on his face as he took a few steps back.

'' Wait! Don't go! You must be hungry'', the girl said, as she opened her lunch-box.

625 looked at the girl again. The girl took out a sandwich. 625's eyes widened.

'' Here, it's peanut butter and banana. It's a thank you present for saving me from a severe pounding'', The girl said.

625 immediately snatched the sandwich out of the girl's hand and ate it like a ravenous wolf. The girl giggled,'' Well I've got to get home. I guess you have a home to go to too. Bye''.

625 bit his lip when the girl said home. He didn't have a home anymore. He watched the girl painfully get up and limp as she walked. The wound on her knee looked very painful. 625 felt a prang of sadness cut through his heart. He followed the girl to a house that was eleven blocks away. The girl entered the house, since she failed to notice 625 following her. 625 sat in front of the porch and waited for the girl to notice him.

The girl cleaned out the wound on her knee. Then she put a bandage over it.

She saw her mother who was tall and was wearing a pink shirt and blue jeans,'' You dyed your hair again?''

'' Blonde is the color for me. Better than being a red head'', the woman said.

The girl rolled her eyeballs. ''Great'', she remarked, sarcastically.

'' Are those boys chasing you again? If you had some friends you wouldn't have this situation.''

'' I can't seem to make any friends at all. Moving is a pain. Now I have to make friends all over again''.

'' Well, with an attitude like that I doubt you're going to make any friends''.

That made the girl angry. The went outside and sat on the steps. 625 was behind her.

'' What's wrong with my attitude? So, I can't seem to make any friends. I don't think I'll make any friends at all. I'll be a loner all my life'', The girl sighed. 625 walked up to her slowly and rested his chin on the girl's shoulder, causing the girl to jump.

'' Oh! It's you again. Don't you have a home to go to?''

625 frowned. He looked at the floor and made a sad look on his face to indicate that he didn't have a home.

The girl looked at him,'' You don't have a home?''

625 remained silent. The girl smiled, as she opened the front door for 625,'' Come inside''.

625 perked up. He never thought he'd be welcomed into a strangers home. He grinned slightly and he sighed.
