Aundrea & Carrisa
Aundrea always wanted a friend, or at least a nice, friendly friend. She has always been dreaming, planning, designing the perfect friend for her. Her friend would be kind, honest, loyal, funny, talented. That would be the perfect friend for her. But she knows not everything not one thing not one person can be perfect...
She was in her bedroom looking over the big white window out to the the beautiful EMU campus!! She knew that there were a mean and friendly side of campus but she never thought about that way before. Aundrea Wondered if she could ever bump into the best friend she has always wanted. She saw all the mean people in front of her campus, she hated it so much she could even get mad too! And she did. She got so mad that she went outside confident that for the third time this week she would find the friend she was looking for this whole time.
Aundrea walked and walked across town onto the subway even in all the restaurants but she couldn't find anyone who would be her best friend.
But just then it came to her ÒIÕm was looking in the wrong spotÓ Aundrea thought, ÒDang itÓ Aundrea said softly ÒAll that work all those days all those months wasted because I was looking in the wrong spot!!Ó ÒOh well I can't go back in time and fix it nowÓ. Aundrea started off and walked and walked and walked 3 miles, To the other side of campus the kind side the friendly side of campus. As she walked and
walked and walked to the kind side of campus she looked at the paved road and wondered Òwhat it was like over on the kind side of campus?Ó She wondered and wondered till
She walked into somebody! She was taken by surprise and thought it was one of the mean people but it wasn't it was somebody nice somebody friendly somebody she could be best friends with, The body had nice brown hair wavy silky hair if you will and it looked like she had a lot of friends. Aundrea could see it in her eyes. Aundrea quickly got up and softly said ÒIÕm so sorry I didnÕt mean to it's my fault I wasn't looking where I was goingÓ ÒIt's ok don't worry about itÓ said a voice from the body that had fell down.
ÒHuhÓ said Aundrea Òyou are nice! ÒWhat do you mean, Of course iÕm nice, You are on the nice side of campus donÕt you know that sillyÓ Aundrea smiled ÒOf courseÓ ÒDo you want to be my mate?Ó ÒsureÓ Òwhy not you seem like a very nice girlÓ Òbut first I think we should introduce ourselvesÓ. Aundrea went first. My name is Aundrea Lin AuntrasÓ. I love paper hats, drawing and I hate when people say um um umÓ. Then the girl spoke right after Aundrea. Aundrea Tried to say ÒAlso I go by zoe not just AundreaÓ but it was to late the girl had already started to talk. ÓMy name is Carrsia Alison Brown. I like to have nice friendly friends all the time and I hate when people say and and and and. ÓWell iÕm glad we got that done with quickly because I have to find more friends because iÕm lonely I don't have
any friends expect you because I live on the mean side of campus I walked all the way over here for miles and miles and miles to only get one friendÓ said Aundrea, Aundrea already went so for away ÒWAIT!!Ó shouted carrsia ÓI HAVE A GROUP OF FRIENDS THAT WOULD LOVE TO MEET YOUÓ ÒOHÓ
replied Aundrea Òwell if we are going to see them now we better get going because itÕs getting late and dark and I still have to get to my dorm which is like 3 miles away and I donÕt have a carÓ Aundrea panted to catch her breath from that long breath. Aundrea ran as fast as she could to carrsia to hear what she was going to say next. As soon as Aundrea got to Carrisa, Carrisa started to say ÒWe can go meet them at the Salad Quad. ÓThat would greatÓ said Aundrea. The Salad Quad was AundreaÕs favorite place to go eat, There was so much to explore, hear and see there it was going to be awesome or so she thought.
They power walked then they ran then they power walked again to the Salad Quad. After about 2 hours of running and power walking they finally reached their destination the big,beautiful, busy Salad Quad. They quickly stopped on their feet to NOT hit the door! they were a inch away from the door, They saw people, kids everybody walking in and out of the busy Salad Quad. They finally grasped the sliver steen doorknob and turned it. The door swung open. They were frozen in surprise when they saw all the people walking around. Carrisa said nervously Òwe are never going to find our friends in this clump of people, Are we?Ó ÒI donÕt even
knowÓ said Aundrea. Aundrea was confident that she would find CarrisaÕs friends and if she didn't she would reward Carrisa with a medal she got a long time ago, from middle school, it was the FriendShip Medal, only for people who are good friends. they walked and walked and stared at the people who walked by them. Carrisa spotted her friends, They were by the drinking fountain chatting. They both ran over to them.
The girls were in shock when they saw the stranger next to Carrisa. Carrisa quickly introduced Aundrea before the girls would take over. ÓThis is Aundrea...ÓCarrisa had forgot AundreaÕs name so Aundrea took over. ÓHi i'm Aundrea Lin Auntras, nice to meet all of youÓ. All the girls were in the best straightest line she had ever seen before. Carrisa nugged Aundrea to go to each of them and shake there hand. So Aundrea got the massage and got to work saying ÔhiÓ to everyone. The first one was a girl named April Noon Prob. Aundrea walked up to April and said ÒhiÓ and gently shaked AprilÕs hand then she walked up to the next girl standing right next to April in a soilder form kinda. The next girl's name was Ava Lays Lopez. Aundrea shaked AvaÕs hand gently Just like she did when she said ÒhiÓ to the other girl. Aundrea Walked up And said ÒHiÕ and shaked her hand gently as well. She walked up to the next girl, Her name was Nina Zoe Wolf And her twin sister next to her side by side and her name was Zina Boe Wolf. Aundrea said ÒhiÓ to both of them and at the same time shoke their hand at the
same time, one hand in zinaÕs arm and the other in ninaÕs arm. Aundrea stepped back to see all the nicest people she had ever seen including Carrsia of course.
ÒWellÓ said Carrisa in a happy voice ÓLets go and get some food whoÕs with meÓ. They all shouted ÒYEAHÓ Aundrea Join them in the deafening cheer ÒYEAHÓ Aundrea was last to say.
Aundrea was starving and her favorite food was pizza. So she quickly walked up to the pizza station. It was filled with people waiting in line to get pizza, They were waiting there for pizza because there was none left!! Aundrea shrugged a sad shrug. ÓwellÓ said Aundrea ÒI guess I will have to get something elseÓ. But right before she could even move she saw Zina and Nina. They were picking on each other like babies in the same crib fighting over whos gets the teddy bear for the night. Aundrea started to walk over to them to stop them from picking on each other anymore. She walked past a statue made of silver and a guy taking a picture with his little sister it was a long time before she got to Nina and Zina. She stopped right before Aundrea walked into them.
ÒFewÓ Aundrea panted ÒfinleyÓ. Zina and Nina blushed in embarrassment. Ówe are sorryÓ Said them both in ashame. ÓIt's okÓ Said Aundrea ÒI get embarrassed all the timeÓ Òthat makes me kinda feel better to know that we aren't the only people that get embarrassed all the timeÓ said them both ÒyeahÓ said
Aundrea ÒI feel the same thingÓ Òwell I have to go now and see if they have pizza now and the line is not that long anymore, see ya laterÓ.
Aundrea walked away very slowly to get a dramatic reveal of the line and pizza, like a movie, She loved to pretend she was a movie star and was in a famous movie are show on TV. Aundrea loved to do it when she was a little kid and never let it go. After a longer walk to the pizza and line she saw something beautiful something awesome, amazing whatever you want to call it .She saw a beautiful, large,juicy, cheesy PIZZA and her favorite kind, Bacon and pepperoni. But there was still a line not as long as it was before for but its still was a....line.
Aundrea couldnÕt and wouldnÕt wait any longer and she stepped in the line. There was no turning back. People were piling on one another. And if she did she would have to go all the way back to the end of the line because these people would not take cuts in line. Aundrea looked back and saw a bunch of people behind her. Hours went past ticking slowing her legs got wobbly and tired ready to fall to the ground but she finally saw the bacon and pepperoni pizza in front her. She grabbed a big plate and grabbed a huge piece of bacon and pepperoni pizza. She grabbed the pizza and went quickly to a seat because she had to get back to her dorm and study for finals. She found a seat next to some gentlemen who looked nice so she figured she could seat there. But it looked a little far away from the naked eye. But she didn't care she would seat anywhere by now cause the Salad
Quad was about to close soon. she walked and walked and walked all the way to where they were seating. It was like nothing could stop her now she was about there just a little farther then it happened she......fell. She was mad and I mean MAD!!!.She had come all this way all the time it took and plus she was embarrassed. Everyone was looking a staring and laughing at poor Aundrea. Carrisa saw what happened and swiftly got over to Aundrea in a snap.
Carrisa covered her mouth with her pale hand and with the other helped Aundrea up with no comment. ÓDoes it look badÓ Whispered Aundrea over the deafening sound of people laughing. Carrisa could not even hear her but she knew what she was saying anyway. Again with no comment she nodded gently. Carrisa knew that Aundrea was dreading this and well sorta embarrassed but she knew what to do, Her friends were in this embarrassment many many times and she did the same thing to them then what she was going to do now. ÓHey!!Ó yelled Carrisa over the crowd of people laughing. ÓYou should not laugh at someone like that, what if you were her getting laughed at would YOU like itÓ Everyone stopped laughing and staring and pointing at Aundrea. Óthank youÓ Aundrea said to Carrisa ÒI really needed thatÓ. Carrisa thought she solved the problem but the truth was she didn't solve the problem at all. Carrsia hated the fact that people would do such thing to a poor student like that but she had to get it off her mind or it would be stuck in there for the rest of her life. Carrisa could not wait any longer just standing
there in front of everyone, She knew she had to get out of there or it would get.....rough. The people in front of them looked like they were going to charge any minute from now, And they did. They charged Aundrea down to the ground so Carissa didn't hesitate one bit. Ócome onÓ Carrisa yelled to Aundrea ÒOKÓ Aundrea replied back ÒI'm not scared at all I have been in these stations beforeÓ. But that was a real big lie.
But before Carissa could answer the statement people started to come, Fast. ÓLET'S GOÓ Carrisa yelled to Aundrea but Aundrea didn't listen all she cared about was getting out of there...alive. She fled for her life you could say but it was hard getting out of there in time. Aundrea ran as fast as she could, She zoomed past the halls and past the restrooms and into the kitchen.
She stopped in disbelief ÒI made itÓ Aundrea said ÒI made itÓ ÒI really didÓ. Carrsia was right behind her the whole time. Ówow, That was something but at least we lost ÔemÕ am I rightÓ huffed Carrsia ÒveryÓ Aundrea puffed back. They both tried to catch their breaths as fast as they could so they could get out of here with their friends too. Ówe have to go get our friends from the crowd of people out thereÓ Aundrea said roughly Òyeah you're right we can't leave without themÓ Carrisa said softly. They both had their hands on there knees and trying to catch their breath still. They both looked at each other and smiled. They both were proud of one another and were proud of themselves too. They finally caught up to speed
and started off into the crowd but before they even walked an inch they both put their hood over their faces so none would recognize them to quickly. They walked and walked while looking at the floor the whole time. Finally Carrsia spotted a familiar shoe pattern and realized that that shoe pattern was her friends shoe!! and another and another, They found them. Carrsia was in front of Aundrea so she flipped around and whispered Òthere's their shoe pattern I found our friends, I recognized another, Their this way follow meÓ ÒokÓ Aundrea whispered back. Aundrea followed Carrsia very carefully she wouldn't lose her. A brief moment went by and Carrsia turned around and whispered to Aundrea ÒI found them let's take our hoods off over our faces and let them know we have to get out of here quick!Ó Carrsia whisperedÒok on the count of three 1 2 3 NOWÓ Aundrea said dramatically. They both took their hoods off at the same time and when they did they saw something awesome, Their 4 friends faces looking at them. They didn't have time to explain what had happened and that they would have to leave quickly so Carrsia took the hands of Zina and Nina and Andrea took the hands of April and Ava and they both dashed across the tile floor and over a drink that had been spilled and some food that had fallen. Zina, Nina, Apirl and Ava were all really confused but they knew they had to stick with it and help out so they all started jumping over spilled drinks and food that had fallen to get out the big black door that led to the outside world.
The last thing they saw and flew over was the faces of the furious people protesting over the endless yelling. They jumped over a banana peel that a man had dropped on propurse to make them fall but that didn't work. Aundrea, Carrisa, nina, Zina, April and Ava saw the door dead ahead Carrisa took the task of opening the big black door by the knob and closing it. Óon the count of three 1 2 3Ó Carissa thought as they got closer and closer to the door. The next thing they knew they were flying out the door on to the paved road ahead. Óouch!!!Ó yelled Ava. ÒI'm with you on thatÓ said Zina.
Now they knew what to do, They had to.....RUN as fast as a cat or a dog or a horse cause those people would be out and trying to get them any minute from now and they knew it, Kinda like zombies. They lay there on the hard ground ÒouchingÓ and rubbing their bruises. Aundrea turned and saw the door open and alarmed the other friends. ÓGet Up and RUN!!Ó shouted Aundrea. Carissa was always the leader of the group but right now that didn't matter anymore. There was no time for that or breath for that or energy for that, They had to save all those things so that they could flee for their little body lives. And for the first time in AundreaÕs life she felt like she had a real best friend.
