Kesaria Tskhovrebadze – New Year

Hello, my name is Ade (my real name is Adeola.) We have a new neighbor.  No one is his friend because he is not an ordinary kid. Mum told me that he has had a lot of plastic surgery procedures to try and fix his face. I want to see his face very much. Gaia said that he was uglier than she imagined. Everyone said that he is so ugly, but I think he is a nice boy.  I went outside to play football and the score was tied at 3-3. I had the ball. I was thinking that our team is going to win!!! My friends were shouting ADE! ADE! ADE! I saw our new neighbor and I stopped running and lost the ball. The other team won. They were very happy. My friends were very unhappy. They were talking to me, but I didn’t listen to them. I ran to our new neighbor. 

-It’s a cold evening! Isn’t it? -I said. 

-Yes, he said.

-What’s your name?

 -I’m August and what’s your name?

-I’m Adeola , but everyone calls me Ade. 

-Do you love pets?          

-Yes! I have a pigeon and a dog called Ollie. 

-I have a black puppy named Max too. I think that you are a good person so I’ll show you my face.                         

 I wanted to see his face very much! He turned to me. He was not very ugly.

-Hi! -I said 

-Hi! So, you have a pigeon at home?

-Yes, his name is Pigeon but he’s a cat.

-A cat?!

-Yes, I know it’s so strange.

-But why do you call him Pigeon?

So, I told him my story. I told him about the bluchers, salt, Dori, Obi, Gaia and mum.

He said –“WOW, you had a real adventure! It’s cool!”                                                                                                                           

-Are you in that school that is near here?

-No, I’m in my old school.

I looked at my watch and saw that it was 9 o’clock.

-Oh! I have to run home!

-What time is it?

-It’s 9 o’clock! 

-Oh no, I have to run home too.

So, we ran home.

-Oh, you are my neighbor? -said August

-Yes, I’m your neighbor.

-Cool, bye!

-Bye!

I got home and said “Mom, I’m home.”                       

-Hi Ade!

-Mom I met August, our new neighbor!

-Really? Is he a good boy?

-Yes, we talked a lot.

-Are you friends?

-Yes.

-OK, now brush your teeth and go to sleep. Tomorrow is New Year’s Day!

On New Year’s Day all our neighbors celebrated together. August’s family brought a cake with strawberries on and that cake was in the form of an astronaut’s hat.
