Lost Boy (Corey Haim)

)7

That whole class hour i was brain storming about any drawing idea's. I need more blank paper and maybe some water colors, i tapped my pen against my temple and frowned. This is serious, he could put my art work in front of the whole school or in a art show. I looked down at my paper and started doodling on it. I usually only doodle when i'm bored or need inspiration. I felt someone staring at me so turned my head, i saw Corey looking at me with a confused look "What?" i laughed and he shook his head "What are you drawing?" he asked me and i huffed "I don't know, i need inspiration and blank paper" i laughed and his eyes lit up. He raised his hand "Miss... my i go to the bathroom?" he asked and i furrowed my eyes brows

"Yes but hurry" the teacher said and he jumped up and ran out of the class

He came back moments later with a little book in his hand and a sketch book. I dropped my jaw and he smiled wide. He sat down in his seat "How did you--" i was unable to finish my sentence cause i was in shock "I told the Art Teacher about it and she gave me these things. This little one is for small projects and this big one is for well... bigger projects" he shrugged handing me the book and the sketch book. I smiled "Corey this is great" i smiled and he nodded "It's nothing"

.....

I sat down in my literature class and opened up the big sketch book. Think of something....

I huffed and shut it, pulling out the smaller book. I began doodling a swing. I looked over at Corey who was holding a pencil with his lips. I smiled and turned back to the page. I drew a girl and a boy on swings trying to hold hands. I heard Mr. Hanes chuckle a bit "That is very interesting drawing Drew" he chuckled and i shrugged "Just a doodle to keep inspiration" i smiled. He nodded "Is that a doodle of friendship?" he asked me and i looked at Corey and we locked eyes "Yea" i smiled and he did too

"How many friends have you ever had Drew" he said getting the classes attention "Umm.... One..." i said looking down. I looked around the class who were looking at me like i was crazy "Yea... One that is other then my mom and dog" i said biting my lip

"That's impossible! You are really smart!" someone blurted out. I smiled "Yea! And pretty!" a girl yelled out "I think you should have all the friends in the world Drew!" someone else blurted out and i smiled really wide "This is honestly really beautiful" Mr. Hanes said "This has never happened in my class and i'm very glad you students have kind minds" he smiled

"I think she is beautiful" Corey said and the class 'ooed' as i blushed "Who knows what a friend is?" Mr. Hanes asked and a few people raised there hands and answered with 'someone you can run to' or 'someone who you can talk to easily'. I furrowed my eyebrows. I never have really experienced friendship that much. With Corey being my first friend so i don't know what to say

"A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allow you to grow" he said and looked between me and Corey "You know who said that?" he asked and i raised my hand "William Shakespeare?" i asked more then stated "Yes. Now... who has experienced.." he continued on with the lesson but i dazed out. I was thinking about friendship. I was thinking about what it's like to have that. I looked over at Corey.

And I thought

Now i have that

......

I was walking home with Corey while jumping in puddles "You wanna come over and watch peter pan?" he asked me and i sighed "I don't think my dad will like it" i said and he stopped walking "Then don't tell him. Call him and tell him that you are staying after school for a project" he shrugged and i looked down. Lie? i have never lied before and i was kinda nervous "Yea okay... but this is the only time i will ever lie" i said and Corey smiled "Come on" he said dragging me into a phone booth. I dialed the number and my dad answered "Hello" he said his voice stern and mean sounding "Dad... i'm staying after school to work on a project" i said blankly "Okay dear.. i love--" i cut him off by hanging up the phone "Okay lets's go" i smiled as we ran out in the rain

We snuck into his house just incase one of my parents were looking out the window. I grabbed my arms and shook them cause the rain became cold "Hold on" Corey said running out the room. He came back moments later with blankets snacks and a film in his hand. I laughed as he threw it all on the bed. The rain started to pour harder and i smiled. He put the tape in the T.v and i laid down wrapped in a blanket with kettle corn in front of me. The previews were playing and i pointed our Disney movies i wanted to see. Corey way laying back laughing at me as i pointed them out. I leaned back next to him

He put his arm around my shoulders and i leaned into his. I felt butterflies in my stomach as he wrapped his another arm around me. The movie started and i smiled shoving popcorn in my mouth.

I smiled at the part where Wendy tried to kiss Peter but he was really confused. Of course i cried when Tinker Bell almost died and i laughed at the Alligator. This was a amazing movie. At the end of the movie i felt Corey's head fall into the crook of my neck, sound asleep. I smiled at him and slowly got up. I found a marker on the ground and open it. I walked over to his window and drew peter pan flying. I put above it 'To NeverLand Corey'

I put the lid back on the mark after signing my name and walked out of his room. As i walked downstairs i saw his mom in the kitchen drinking tea "I didn't know you were here Drew" she smiled at me "Yea me and Corey watched Peter Pan since i never seen before" i said and she chuckled and shook her head "That's his favorite movie" she said and i chuckled "Mine too now.. He brought it up today and i didn't even know what it was" i said sitting in front of her "That is amazing" she smiled shaking her head "What do you mean?" i asked

"He didn't talk at all after an incident we had... He didn't speak to anyone for over 3 months. Then you came and... He talk's now... you helped my son Drew.. I'm so happy you are in his life" she said tearing up. I stood up and hugged her "I'm glad i am too" i smiled and let go off her. I walked out of the house with a huge grin on my face
