Kai's p.o.v

The boy helps me up, I look at hem. Sun kissed skin, jet black hair, jade green eyes. Conner growls but leaves. The boy holds out his hand, I hesitate but shake it.

"I'm Cole Brickstone. Me and my father are staying a few weeks, he has a gig. Dad's a singer." He says.

"Kai Smith. Mine's a blacksmith. Thanks for that back there." I say, sitting back on the swing. Cole sits beside me and we swing. "Why's he bullying you." Cole asks.

I sigh "You'd probably hate me if I tell you." I say. "Lay it on me." Cole said. "I was diagnosed with Glaucoma a year ago and I'm slowly lossing my sight. He and the others were once my friends but, they abandoned me and cast me out." I explained.

Cole leans over, hugging me. "Those who break the rules are scum, those that turn their backs on friends are worse than scum." Cole says.

Tears fall as Cole grabs my hand. "I saw an ice cream truck not far from here." He leads me. We come to the gate and I plant my feet. He looks at me "we're not allowed outside without an adult." I tell hem.

"Well, I'm here so, ice creams on me." Cole's father walks up. We go to the truck and have fun. The day goes by and I head home. Coming in, dad picks me up. "What's with the smile." He asks as we goto the dinning room.

"I made a friend. He leaves in a few weeks but, he wants to come over tomorrow if it's okay." I say. "We'd love to have hem." Mom says and we eat.

The next day and for the next few weeks, me, Cole, and nya play in or around the house.

When the time comes for Cole to leave, he gifts me with a necklace.

We bro hug and Cole leaves. I wave and watch as they ride away. I turn back, putting the necklace on and walk to my house. I just know, me and hem will meet again someday.
