Good sides to bad sides

I'm standing beside Maybelle, as we watch the terabithian's rejoice. But little did they know, I was not that happy. Still, memories of Leslie Burke are haunting me, as I watch the Terabithia grow. We built this place. I said to myself. Well, I don't blame Maybelle, I dragged her here. It's just, a kingdom without a queen is incomplete. I wish she were here. I wish she could see this Terabithia. The world we created through our friendship, and love for each other. But maybe something's in life are unavoidable, and meant to be. Leslie did die. But in our hearts, she'll remain.

I jumped out of bed, a new morning at last! Everyday I hope that I'll see Leslie one more time. Maybe it's a little ignorant wish, but who cares. I'm back from being a loner again. Oh, I almost forgot. It's a school day.

Beep. The school bus horned.

I'm still on the greenhouse. Not that my dad told me to, but because I have my own flowers now. Haha. I always smile and laugh when I see them.

By the time I could reach the bus, I prepared myself for total madness. Janice Ivory for example. But remembering my past, it shall be a piece of cake.

"Good Morning Jess." Driver greets me as I enter the bus.

"Uh, Good Morning Sire." I replied, shocked at the moment.

Our driver, is not that active on greeting others. So maybe he did learn something.

I made my seat at the seat where Leslie and I used to sit. I didn't notice something until Janice Ivory told me.

"Hey Jess, Why'd you cry?" She asked, in a nice way.

Oh yeah. I remember now. Janice Ivory changed already. She's now one of the good ones. That means bullies on school are reduced. Yeah.

The bus moved as if my surroundings are silent. Bus moving without a sound, quiet boy's and girl's. I don't feel so good. Normally first thing in the morning, people start throwing stuffs at us. Oh, Catsup! I remember Leslie getting thrown at by Catsups. Leslie, Oh no, I remembered her again.

"Nothing actually, thanks." I replied Janice Ivory.

I tried to sleep, since there was no Leslie Burke to talk to anymore. She totally ran through my mind the whole day.

"Hey guys!" Miss Edmunds cheerfully said.

I see Miss Edmunds is now okay. I remember one music class, which was boring. Such boredom brought by the aftershock of Leslie Burke's death.

Days flew faster than the usual. Each day, for ne, was not unique. Since there where no Terabithia visits. No not-so-new thing to do. What? I cant blame myself for that. I was lonely, that's the problem. I'm not that hyper, to do such happy things. I feel like being alone is the best game I'll ever play.

At last, summer. Hey, everybody wants summer. It's the part where you'll think of pure-no-studies things. Play, play, play! That's what's on THEIR minds..
On my mind, is something a normal kid would never think. Summer, a boring season, no school to keep me occupied, no homework's to work on to. Woah, that's heavy.

I started to help my dad on the greenhouse.

"Jess, instead of being bored here, why don't you go play with your friends?" my dad asked me.

"Sure dad, if I have any."

"You could make one."

"If there was a genie."

"No, there's a new family that moved at the neighborhood." Dad said.

I stared at my dad, looking and checking if he's lying or what. I see truth in his eyes. I don't want any friends. I told myself.

"Please?" Dad pleaded.

This time, I was so shocked. I never experienced someone saying please for me to have a friend. This time, I kept my mind opened to the happenings. This time I realized my dad cared for me, after that incident.

"Oh, sure dad." I smiled.

I walked from greenhouse to neighbor. I really don't know what to say. Should I say, Hi! I want you and me to be friends! I don't think so.

I plan on spying first, and looking what the new dude or girl looks like. I waited for hours for one of them to go out.

"Samuel! You're not being fair again!" I heard.

Then someone came out. She saw me.

"Oh, Hello there!" She said.

I approached her immediately.

"Hello, I'm Jess. I live on the neighbor."

"Nice, I'm Samantha."
