"WAKE UP!!"
Why just why. All I want to do is sleep.
"Nyah get your ass up now." Zach says
"Zach get out. I'm tired." I say with my eyes still closed
"No." He says and then rips the covers off of me
"Ughhh"
"Get up now. It's 11am and we have things to do."
"What things." I ask while rubbing my eyes and sitting up.
" What things?"
"It's June 4th." He deadpans
I'm gonna mess with him
"So what?" I say standing up
"So what? You know what forget you and forget this." He says standing up and walking away
I quickly pull him back
"I'm just playing, Zach chill out. Happy Best Friends Day!" I say while hugging him
About 18 years ago today Zach and his family moved next door. We had a rough start as friends because he was much older and I was still just a chubby toddler but apparently he was my favorite person. My mom said I would always cry for him and he would play with me everyday. One day when I was 7 and he was 11 he was hanging out with his friends in his back yard and I wanted to play with them
Flashback
I had just got finished doing my homework with my mommy and I asked her if I could go play with Zach. Of course she said yes. I ran and put my shoes on, then out the door I went with my mom watching me from the window making sure I got there safe. She did this every time I went over there.
I knocked on his front door. His dad opens the door and quickly lifts me into a tight hug. He always wanted a daughter but only got 2 sons. James is his name and he's tall, and he has medium brown skin.
"Hey pretty girl what are you doing here?" He says while putting me back down
"I came to play with Zachy. Where is he?" I say sweetly
"He's out back with some kids from his school. You can go ahead out there if you want."
"Okay, is miss Andrea here?" I ask him
That's Zach's mommy she's really nice and pretty. She curses a lot though, I think it's funny. My mommy tells me that she is Dominican and that's why she looks different from Zach's daddy.
"No she's at the hair salon. Why?" He says
"Mommy wants to know if she wants to have a family dinner this weekend."
"I'll ask her tonight." He says with a smile
"Okay I'm gonna go play with Zach now." I say and then skip away
I'm at the backyard and I see Zach with some other boys. So I run up to him.
"Hi Zachy, I came to play with you." I say with a smile
"Who are you." Some boy with red hair says
"Hi, I'm Nyah. Nice to meet you. What's your name?" I say politely
"None of your business." He says while turning away from me
That was mean
"Zachy I want to play, what are y'all playing?" I ask him
"This game is not for children." Some boy with braids in his hair says
"Nyah can you go home? I'm hanging with my friends today." Zach says looking upset with me
"I'm your friend too and I want to play." I say hopefully
"You're too young to be his friend. You should just go home." Another boy says
"Yeah Nyah go home. I don't want to play with you. I'm not a kid." Zach says with an attitude
I immediately start crying, my feelings are hurt. So I run back in his house to see his dad sitting on the couch.
"Nyah what's wrong?"
"Za-zach says he-he's not my friend anymore." I say while crying
"He did what?" He says with an angry look on his face
"His friends were mean to me th-they said I was too young to ha-hang out with them." I say while sniffing
" aww baby girl don't cry. I'll fix this for you." He says and then walks to the back door
"Zach get your ass in this house right now!!" He yells
Zach comes in and then looks at me crying and his dad with an angry expression on his face and puts his head down.
"I don't know what you have going on but it needs to stop. You do NOT make women cry. You apologize right now and your grounded for 2 days. I don't know what has gotten into you lately. Apologize now and I'm telling your mother when she gets home." His dad says sternly
"Nyah I'm sorry I made you cry." Zach says lowly
"I-its okay, just don't be mean to me anymore." I say wiping my tears
"Now hug it out." His dad says
Then I go up hesitantly to hug Zach. He doesn't hug me back at first but after a couple seconds he does.
"Alright now tell those little bastards to go home. You're grounded starting now." His dad says while walking me to the door and watching me until I get to my front door.
My mommy opens the door.
"You're back early and why do you look like you're crying?"
"Zach was mean to me but mr. James made him apologize."
"Mhm go clean up for dinner. Daddy is bringing home some pizza."
With that I run upstairs to wash my hands and put my homework in my book bag.
"Nyah, come down here!" I hear my dad yell
My daddy's name is Kenny. He's tall, and he has curly hair like me.
So I run down stairs to see Zach at the door with his mom and my mom is putting the pizza on plates.
"Hi miss Andrea." I say while giving her a hug
"Hey pretty girl. I heard my son was being an asshole and made you cry." She says
"Yeah but he apologized and I'm okay now." I say with a small smile
"You sure?" She asks
"Yes!"
"Alright you let me know if he does this again and I'll beat his ass for you." She says with a laugh but I know she's serious
"Okay I will."
Then my mommy comes over to us
"Nyah y'all go play right quick while I talk to Andrea." She says shooing us away
We walk into the living room and sit on the couch
"Zachy are you mad at me?"
"No, but Nyah I am older than you and I don't want to play with you everyday."
"Okay." I say while looking down
"How about this. I come over and play with you once a week."
"That's okay with me. I'll miss you though."
"And how about we hang out for a full day once a year. It can be the day we first met. June 4th."
"Can we call it Best Friends day?" I ask looking up
"Yeah and we can do whatever you want."
"DEAL!" I yell while hugging him
Ever since then we've hung out all day every June 4th no matter what.
