Caleb pushed the swing harder making the dark haired girl sitting on it scream with excitement.



‘I’m almost flying out of it!’ she shouted, her pigtails waving about her in a very untidy manner.

‘Do you want me to stop pushing?’ Caleb asked his little friend with a hilariously worried look on his face ‘I don’t want you to get hurt or anything…’

‘No, it’s fun!’ she waited a few seconds for the swing to slow down a little bit, took a deep breath and jumped swiftly out of it.



Fiona was Caleb’s desk mate and best friend in the whole class. She was also shy, just like the boy, but they got along very well. They didn’t need other friends from school or anything as long as they had each other.

‘Are you hungry, Fiona? Because grandma has made some delicious Baked Alaska for desert.’

The girl shrugged and followed Caleb inside, almost colliding with the group of three teenagers walking out the door.

‘Who’s the pretty young lady?’ Shadee asked friendly, a playful smile upon her lips.

Caleb shuffled his feet uneasily and avoided the girl’s gaze.

‘Fiona, this is Shadee, my niece.’ He looked up from his feet and smiled back ‘Shadee, this is Fiona, my best friend!’



‘It is nice to meet you!’ the little girl shook hands and glowed a deep shade of scarlet, clearly uncomfortable with the awkward situation of meeting someone whom she referred to as “an adult”.

‘Me and the guys are going out.’ Shadee turned back to the boy and ruffled his auburn hair ‘You two will remain alone, so don’t set the house on fire or anything.’

‘Shadee!’ Caleb grumbled out of the corner of his mouth ‘Stop making fun of me.’

He skipped inside the house with Fiona on his trail, escaping the three friends who were giggling about “the sweet puppy love”.
