#JUST FRIENDS PDF BY BILLY TAYLOR FULL#
“I’m August, happy birthday by the way.” I said with a mouth full of cake. “Who are you?” He curiously asked, strolling over. I gave him an awkward smile and wiped my fingers and face with my napkin. After he ran through the kitchen he casually walked backwards, poking his head around the corner, staring at me. I’d never met Ethan before so I had no idea who I was looking for to say happy birthday to. Meanwhile, I was sitting on the sofa inside, eating Ethan’s birthday cake, alone.Īfter two or three minutes of silence, a boy came running past wearing a top hat, cape and white gloves. The other kids in attendance were all screaming and running around in the garden. I was a clumsy kid and knew I’d drop cake somewhere. I swear each slice was the same size as my face. It was an indulging chocolate fudge cake.
I ventured into the kitchen and grabbed a slice of cake that had been placed on napkins along the side. My Mum had spent forever brushing it, but I hated having my hair brushed when I was younger. I tied my long, dark blonde hair up in the mirror.
I was still frowning at my freckled cheeks in the mirror even after they had dropped me off. Meeting Ethan is my favourite childhood memory. It was the last thing I wanted to do because I was a stubborn child, but looking back on it now, I’m glad my parents forced me to go. Ethan’s Dad knew I was new in school so it should be a nice opportunity for me to try to make new friends. Until one day, his Dad asked my parents if I wanted to go to his seventh birthday party. Ethan and I were in separate classes during my first week of school, so we didn’t meet. I was six and had started at my new school with a whole load of kids I’d never met. My parents and I had moved house, the small house we lived in had become too small. Before I go on, the story of how we met should be told.
The second is that it’s the nineteenth birthday of my bestfriend Ethan Knight. The first is that it’s the twelve-year anniversary of meeting my bestfriend Ethan Knight.
