You were sitting on the swing watching Latula, Mituna, and Kurloz play some adventure game on the slide. You really didn't wanna climb up the slide over and over with them, since you were wearing your favorite kitty-cat sweater and didn't wanna get it dirty, so you just sat on the swing and quietly giggled whenever Mituna slipped trying to climb up the "mountain" and fell into the bark.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing on *my* swing?!" you whip around to see Meenah. Aranea and Damara were standing beside her, they were all glaring at you. "Well, didn't you hear me?! get OFF *my* swing new kid." Meenah hissed.
"Don't talk to her like that, Meenah. This isn't your swing, it's everyone's," you were surprised to see Kurloz step up beside you.
"Oooh, you got a girlfriend Kurloz? How cute." laughed Meenah.
Kurloz's face turned instantly red "No! Just get away from her Meenah! She's my friend!" Kurloz grabbed your hand and marched away. "I'm really sorry about that Meulin, they are really big bullies and I'd hate to see you sad." Kurloz said shyly, looking down at him shoes the entire time.
You smile softly and give him a hug "Thanks for standing up for me Kurloz, you're a really great friend" Kurloz beamed and hugged you tightly back.
For the rest of recess Kurloz and Meulin played soccer together, Meulin won but Kurloz kept claiming that he "let her win", but Meulin still giggled and taunted him on how he got "beat by a girl".
At snack time Kurloz and Meulin sat together and ate their snacks, Meenah and her friends were giving them dirty looks the entire time, but neither of them really cared because they were having too much fun talking with each other and playing with their animal crackers.
They sat together during class, and played together during breaks up until it was time to go. This went on all through-out 1st grade and they soon became to best of friends. They even started to go to each others houses during weekends.
They became absolutely inseparable.
The fifth grade was when things initially began to go wrong though. Well, not exactly fifth grade, it really started the summer before the fifth grade.
It was announced to Meulin that she would have a new baby brother or sister. This news was something Meulin was not exactly ecstatic about. It was then she felt as if her world would crumble. She had ALWAYS been the center of attention with her mom, especially since her father had died shortly after her birth in a car accident. She was all her mother had.
In the fourth grade her mother had gotten a boyfriend. And as you can see, things progressed with them and they soon got married less than a year later. And now, they will have a child together. She believes she will be forgotten, just like her dad.
Meulin dashed up to her room and cried. Her mother and her mother's husband tried several times to ask her what was wrong and if she was okay. She shunned them or ignored them entirely each time they tried. Her mother soon gave up on comforting Meulin and called Kurloz's house, in hope that he could bring her to stop crying.
When Meulin's mother called Kurloz's house, Kurloz had answered as to the reason his father was crashed out on the couch after a long night of drinking. Once Meulin's mother had explained what had happened Kurloz hurriedly agreed to come see Meulin and hung up the phone. He didn't bother to wake his father so he left a note on the counter explaining where he had gone and for what reason, grabbed his jacket, and ran down the block to Meulins house.
He knocked on the front door and a few seconds later he heard footsteps and the door opened.
"Oh, Kurloz, come in," greeted Mrs. Leijon "Meulin has been up there for over an hour crying her eyes out, I was hoping you could see what was wrong and if you could make her feel any better. Oh, I do hope this isn't about the baby..."
"Don't worry Mrs. Leijon, I'm sure Meulin will be fine" Kurloz reassured.
"I sure do hope so, I haven't seen her like this, well, ever..." said Mrs. Leijon sorrowly.
Kurloz nodded and slowly walked up the steps to Meulin's room and knocked on the door only to be greeted by silence.
"Meu..? It's me Kurloz. Can I come in?" he said in a hushed voice.
There was a small rustling sound but no reply, he attempted to open the door, but it was locked. He knocked again
"Meu, please let me it, I'd hate to see you sad."
She unlocked the door.
