The Day I Fell In Love
By Willie

I met this girl at Jenner. She was nice, pretty, and wearing Jenner school clothes in white and blue. She was light-skinned and her hair was in short braids. She was in my grade. So, I started to talk to her and what I said made her smile. I asked her to hang out, but she said, “I have to go home and do my chores. But I can go with you on Friday.” It made me happy because I would have time to get to know her. When Friday came, we met outside, walked around, and since I got my money on Friday, I took her to dinner at McDonald’s. We had burgers, fries, and Coke. I walked her home because it was dark, and at the door she said, “I had a nice time. “ I asked her to go out next Friday, and she smiled as she said, “Yes. “ I was happy all week, looking forward to that next Friday.
When Friday came, we met up at school. I chased her when we played on the playground. We were just messing around. Then, she told me she changed her mind and had to go home. That made me sad. I saw her by my house the next day and we decided to break up. We also started being friends again. I didn’t feel so bad because my dad said, “There are a lot of fishes in the sea.” I found out my dad was right.
