*Flashback*

I entered the park holding hands with my mother and looked around excited. There were many kids but being the shy girl I never interacted with them much. I left my mother's hand while she went to sit on the bench and ran towards the playground. 

I wore a blue frock with white frills and had my hair in a braid with a matching hair band. I saw a boy my age sitting alone in the corner playing with his toy car but he looked sad, this made me frown and I started moving towards him when suddenly he scraped his hand and got a huge cut which bled. He started crying while the other children around him laughed at him making him cry harder. Seeing him cry made me sad and I went up to him.

He had black hair and pretty light green eyes. I cautiously moved towards him as I was a bit shy interacting with new people. When he felt me standing near him, he looked up, his eyes widened slightly and his cheeks tinted a slight pink shade, he quickly looked back down whimpering in pain.

"Hi! I am Mae." I smiled at him. He looked up me and smiled slightly.

"Ryan" He mumbled and clutched his still bleeding hand wincing.

"Here, show me." I sat beside him taking his hand in mine. I examined it then took off my hair band and tied it around his hand like a bandage.

He seemed slightly shocked by my actions but smiled brightly.

"Thank you!" He said.

"Friends?" I asked holding out my hand which he clutched eagerly. We shook our hands sealing the promise of friendship.

I looked at his face and saw he still had tears in his eyes. I frowned pouting and searched my pockets. I grinned and took out two chocolates holding out one for him.

He smiled shaking his head, refusing to take it. I pouted shoving it towards him and he finally took it reluctantly but smiling.

We sat there in silence eating our chocolates till it was time for me to go. My mother called out for me and I got up dusting my dress. I looked at a frowning Ryan, "What's wrong?" I asked him.

"You are leaving?" He asked sad.

"Yes" I replied in the same voice, somehow seeing him sad made me feel sad too.

"But I'll be here tomorrow! We will meet again!" I said brightly lifting his mood also.

"You will be?" He asked hopefully while I nodded happily.

"Bye Ryan!" I called running towards my mother while he shyly waved at me.

Little did I know I was not going to come back the next day. As soon as we reached home my mother announced that we are leaving tomorrow morning. I started to cry and begged that I don't want to leave but they didn't listen. I cried myself to sleep remembering all the moments I lived here in these five years of my life and fell asleep thinking about a boy with the most pretty green eyes.

*End of flashback*

"Why didn't you tell me earlier" I asked him still overwhelmed with emotions after remembering those days.

He simply shrugged and looked away.

"Ryan...I am so sorry for that day, I..I didn't know we were moving away." I replied tearing up, my voice cracking. 

He looked at me and immediately cupped my cheeks wiping away the few tears that I hadn't known escaped.

"Hey, hey it's alright." He said soothingly and hugged me.

I clutched his shirt and inhaled his scent which instantly calmed me down.

"Were you mad?" I whispered, my face still buried in the crook of his neck.

"I was not mad but I was definitely sad that you were not there. You were the first friend that I made and at first I couldn't believe that a gorgeous girl like you is talking to me." he chuckled making me smile and blush.

"You were five" I smiled shaking my head.

"Still" He chuckled.

"I came here everyday hoping to meet you again but you were never there, eventually even I stopped coming here but remembered you as my angel who helped me when no one was there, the girl who came as a ray of light in my dark world, you helped me with not just my physical wound but emotional as well." He mumbled the last part but I heard it.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I'll tell you some other time." He smiled and I smiled back not pushing him.

"Let's go" He said getting up detaching me from his embrace leaving me cold.

I got up following him and sat behind him wrapping my arms around his waist resting my head on his back.

I felt my eyes getting heavier and tightened my grip on him. Just before I fell asleep I felt his hand holding mine,  "you are my sunshine."

I unconsciously smiled and faintly replied a yes, but I guessed he head me as I felt him clutch my hand harder.

......................................................................................................................

"Mae?" I felt someone shaking me lightly. I opened my eyes and yawned.

I saw we were in front of my house while I was on the bike still holding him tightly. I unwrapped my hands and got down, my body missing his touch and warmth.

"So.." He started.

"So..."

"Since we couldn't keep our promise then, how about a new start?" He asked nervously as if afraid I will not agree to it.

I smiled brightly, "I would love too!"

He looked at me with the most beautiful smile making my insides turn gooey.

"See you tomorrow?"

"Definitely! Oh and I am picking you up." He said

"You don't need to do that." I said shyly suddenly interested in my shoes. He chuckled and lifted my chin with his finger his eyes meeting mine. He bent down a kissed my cheek turning me beet red.

"I want to." He said lowly. I just nodded and started moving towards my door.

I looked back at him to see him still there sporting a smile. I waved and he did the same getting on his bike. I saw him speed down the road and sighed closing the door behind me.

Something changed today, I no longer saw him as the 'bad boy' of the school but as the boy who cried when he got a cut, the boy with whom I shared a chocolate back then. The previous string joining us with despise snapped and a new string with a beautiful emotion connected us. And even though we have started a new friendship I realize one thing...I like him. It's not the matter of a day but I have since I saw him that day at the park.

I told you!

Wow, you have the perfect timing.

Obviously! Duh!

'Duh!'

I am too happy right now so I'll let that mockery pass.

Thank god!

Sarcasm not appreciated.

And I care because...

You are using it on your own self.

I am going crazy.

I walked in my room and changed into my nightwear. I plopped down on the bed and took out my phone. I had eleven missed calls and twenty messages from Cassie asking me where I was. I opened the last one.

"Kate just told me she last saw you and Ryan together ;) you better give me all the details!!;D"

I laughed at this and saw my phone light up with another notification. I opened it smiling when I saw the sender.

"Good night sunshine:)"

"Good night Ryan, dream of me ;)" I replied cheekily, I could imagine him laughing and shaking his head.

"Oh I definitely will ;D"

I laughed and let sleep take over me.
