A/N: It's baaack! Hurray! Well it's back for old readers, but for you new people, welcome! So like I said, I'm rewriting this story, again. It's quite different from the original, but there are a few things that haven't changed. Anyway so this is the prologue! Hope you enjoy! Reviews are appreciated! :)
Do you remember places that you went to a lot when you were a little kid? And there's that one place that will always be an important part of your life? Well, I have that place too. For me, that place was a park.
The park was about fifteen minutes from my home when I walked there. There were trails for walking, running, and bike riding, and there was a small pond that always had these adorable little ducks wadding around in it. There was this huge playground, complete with a swing set, multiple slides, monkey bars, and a jungle gym. My favorite part of the park, though, was the woods.
Most people I knew found it weird that a little girl would want to run around in the woods instead of wanting to run around on the playground. I didn't ever make a scene about it, though, when people would ask me why I was always running around in the woods. I would simply tell them that the woods were special to me, but wouldn't really elaborate on it.
One day, when I was about six years old, I went to the park on my own for the first time. Usually, I would go with my dad, but he'd recently walked out on my mom, twin sister, and I. I had decided that day, that instead of staying home like I had been the entire week, I would go to the park. I had asked my mother if I could go on my own, and she gave me permission to do so. She had insisted that I take her cell phone with me though, just in case something happened to me. So I slipped the phone into my pocket and went on my way.
As soon as I reached my destination, I went straight to the woods. I walked over to my favorite tree, sat on the ground in front of it, and leaned against it. I looked up at the sky and sighed. "One day, I'm going to have a new best friend. And we're gonna be friends forever."
It was at that moment when something hit my leg. I looked to see a pinecone on the ground in front of me. I looked in the direction it came from and saw a pair of emerald green eyes staring at me. When they realized I was looking at them, they widened and hid behind the tree across from mine.
I stood up and walked over to the tree. Hiding behind it was a boy who looked to be my age. He looked up at me and smiled sheepishly. "Hi," he mumbled and waved slightly.
I frowned at him. "What are you doing behind the tree? You know I won't bite, right?"
He shrugged. "I just wanted to watch you."
"Well kid, that's creepy. You shouldn't watch people like that. They might get the wrong ideas and hit you or something," I told him.
The boy's eyes widened. "What?!"
I laughed. "Just kidding." He sighed in relief. "Or am I?" I asked mysteriously.
He pouted. "You're mean. What's your name?"
Just before I could answer it started pouring rain. I scowled up at the sky. "Oh no. I have to go." I started running away, but he caught up to me.
"Wait! What's your name?" he asked again.
Still running, I called over my shoulder, "Angie!"
He smiled. "Bye Angie! See you soon!" I didn't answer. I just kept running home.
It's been years since I met the little green eyed boy. He'd said he would see me soon, but as far as I know, I never did see him again. That day is still my favorite, though. If I hadn't met that little boy in the park, the events that took place ten years later may not have happened.
A/N: So my best friend and I both looked over this a million times for mistakes, but we may have missed some. If you caught any that we didn't, let me know and I'll fix them. Thanks for reading! :)
