Why do we always have to move?I've moved so many times I lost track!We move because of my dad,he is always moving for work.Mama and I wish we could stay in one place but each time I ask Dad, he asks me if I want yummy food and a nice home and stylish cloths.I say yes because what eleven year old girl would say no?!Then he tells me he needs his job and how important it is and all that junk.He could go on for hours!Blah,blah,blah!

I was tired of playing with my younger six year old twin sisters so I decided to take a walk and learn my way around Clevland.You would think I'd know what this small town holds.I mean,I moved here awhole week ago!But then I came across a town garden!I ran inside and looked at all the beutiful plants.I watered them all and picked pesty beetles off the tomatoes that had a sign that said Latisha's tomatoes. ﻿But what caught my eye was a Veitameese girl about my age picking some lima beans.I said hi but she didnt say hi back she just looked up and gave a teensy weensy smile.She must be shy.I want to be friends with her!But how can I do it if she wont even smile at me?

 I came back the next day and I brought two bags of lima beans.I got there at 8:15am 5 minutes before the girl.I sat right next to the girl's lima beans a made sure that I didnt hurt the baby lima beans.We gardened silently for about half an hour. "Kim."she mumbled,I could barely hear her. I started talink to Kim.I told her about having to move,how I hate it, but my sisters love it.And I told her her how I asked Dad if we could stay in one place and that his answer could take hours long,and I told her that I probably sound like him now.I kept talking to her about my whole life.Blah,blah,blah!!I talk alot!I looked at my watch. "Holy Cow!"I yelled It's already 11:33!I've got to go home for lunch I'll be back around 12:30."then I ran home sprinting.

 When I came back Kim was already there planting her beans. "I'm glad your back!"Kim said proudly,then she started telling me all about her.It's horrible her dad died I feel really bad for her.We kept talking and planting until the pink sun tiptoed across the horizen. "See you tomorrow!"we said together in unison.

 The next day we did the same thing but instead of talking about ourselves,we talked about our sleepover we are going to have tonight at my house.She went home and got her sleepover stuff and we walked toward the tiptoeing pink sunset talking about all the stuff we will do.
