(aj's journal)

You only meet so many good people in your life. I met one today and

her

name is Ranae , ranae leigh salvatore or rei. Ranae was dancing..yes

dancing

through A new york city mall, the westchester. This shocked me so much

because

this mall is classy and very large. I can see her right now, her long

bright

red hair whipping around her frame. ( I later found out it isnt

naturally red

but she wont tell me her natural color!) Ranae was wearing these cute

grey

flare corduroys and a navy blue henley shirt........... geez im acting

like

this was forever ago....its was friggin yesterday! Anyway ranae is

13.........didnt mention that did I? Well I knew I had to walk up to

her and

chat so this is what happened....

( not in anyones point of view)

AJ approached the girl who had just stopped dancing when she saw him

watching her." hey....nice moves..my names Aj" The girl wiped sweat of

her

face."I know." AJ didnt look to surprised or to happy." My names ranae

leigh

salvatore and dont worry Im not going to jump your bones and No I dont

wanna

have your baby." Aj looked semi-relieved. he asked" so why were you

dancing."

ranae laughed" yo didnt you hear the music they were playing,.....It

was

Sinatra!!!" AJ gave an Oh yeah look and thought of the song that just

played...he thought it was Luck be a LAdy."I had to do my thang" AJ

smiled

then noticed her eyes....they were a deep bluish-gray. " um aj would

you like

to come sit with me over here ." She gestured towards a bench. Aj

snapped out

of it. "sure' when they sat down he shyly asked her what color her eyes

were."

Green my health teacher says....there more of a hazel...but thats not

an eye

color sooo....." Aj looked confused." your not out of school?" ranae

laughed."

I hope you wont discontinue this chat.....Im thirteen!" AJ looked

shocked but

thought....Im not attracted or anything of course......its just she'd

be an

interesting friend. " Its no problem." Ranae glanced at her Old navy

watch."

Oh....I have to go home." Aj was dissapointed." well can you maybe give

me

your number.....ill give you mine!" ranAe seemed happy. she pulled out

a pen

and a piece of art scratch paper from her Black messanger bag. she

scrawled

out her number on one half and Aj wrote his on the other." Well seeya

AJ" Aj

winked at her." bye Ranae.'

Oh yes this is a start of a beautiful friendship...I can see it

now....AJ

anything

and everything for two and half hours.....then he had to go..Rehearsal.

But
