Xavier is my childhood friend!
280 Words
We finally pulled up in front of a yellow duplex. I got out and waited for my mum to lock the car. We went in and pressed the bell after she finished .
A woman in her early forties opened the door for us.
"Nora",the woman said and flung herself at me."How are you doing? You've grown to a big girl just like Bubba"
"Who's Bubba?", I asked.
"Oh,I should have remembered that you might have forgotten him,he was your childhood friend when we were in Manchester",my mum explained while Mrs. Thompson went to call the boy named..um.... Bubba.
"C'mon put on your shirt",I heard Mrs.Thompson scolding the boy upstairs. I chuckled,so he wanted to come downstairs without a shirt.
I walked around the living room and saw a picture that made me dumbstruck and before I could say anything,I heard the woman say,"Nora, here he is".
I looked around swiftly and the same person I saw in the picture now stood in front of me.
Xavier!
He was also surprised but composed himself by stretching his hand for an handshake.
"Hi,I'm Xavier",he said
"Um, Eleanor",I said receiving the handshake.
"You both are acting formal. Bubba, don't you remember Nora,way back in Manchester. You were four years old then",his mum asked.
"I knew it. I recognized her when I saw her today", Xavier said smiling.
"You both met, already?",my mum asked.
"Yeah",I said nodding."In school".
"Oh,you both attend the same school?",his mum asked.
"Kinda",I said."But I just started today",I added quickly.
"Wow,that's good",Mrs.Thompson said
