Imaginary Friend(Liru)

 "BOOO!!!" 

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH" I screamed to the top of my lungs and landed to the ground with my butt. I started to drag myself farther. "Uh please d-don't hurt me!" I begged but when i opened my eyes i was greeted with a warm and joyful smile. "Hello sorry i didn't mean to scare you, it's just a harmless prank i swear." She raised her hand and her face seemed sincere. She wears  jumper shorts, pink sneakers and she wears long sleeve assorted diamond pattern like jester's wear. She has red radiant eyes, she looks like a fox that explains her joking attitude. Her hair looks upright and the other is hanging at her face. I noticed her leg has a scar it's noticable and it looks a bit deep "Gosh your very easily scared, Oh by the way I'm Paru nice to meet you!" She introduced herself proudly. She extended her hand and to shake mine. I extended mine as well. "Oh, I'm Liu i just moved here." "Oh that explains why you look like you don't know the place and the folks here." She answered my response. She looks funny,nice and bubbly, she looks friendly and harmless. " Hey can we be----" She cut me and blurted "FRIENDS???? Sure why not!" SHe jumped up and down feeling very happy i smiled "Yeah let's be friends!" The environment felt dark, very dark i saw that the sun is setting. "Oh no i'll be late for dinner! UGH I'll get scolded" I started grunting and i'm feeling a bit upset. I let out a sigh, "Well it's nice meeting you Paru maybe tomorrow?" I asked in reply she said disspointed "Gosh what a bummer gonna go so soon, we just met!" "I know but there's a tomorrow, wanna meet here and we can hang out somewhere?" I tried to comforted her. " Yeah sure meet ya at 8:30 ok see yah bye!!!" "Byee!!!" She disappeared to the distance and i rushed my way back to the park and to my home. I found my book lying on the grass. I picked it up and removed some dirt on it. My house is near the park so i don't have to tire myself. I got in and took of my shoes. "Mom, big sis I'm home!!!" I shouted so they can hear me that i came back. "Hello onion, come sit down dinner is ready." My mom replied. I started to sit and waited for the food. "Shan, honey come down dinner is ready!" "Coming mom!" Shan shouted in a fumbling voice due to the very far distance to her room. Thr doorbell rang and i knew exactly who that is. I rushed to the door to open it. "Dad!!!" I screamed in joy, my dad hugged me and i did back. "Looks like your early today" My mom faced him and chuckled. "Hey, our project isn't that complicated and since we are done with it, we got an early dismiss" my dad tried to explain to my mom. Shan ran down the stairs and saw dad "Dad!!!" She did what i did moments ago. "Whoah be careful you might fracture a leg running down the stairs." My dad said in concern. "Nah I'm tough like metal!" My sister brag. 

Narrator's POV

The family sat down to eat dinner and they tried teling their stories, how his mom met a neighbor friend, his dad telling what are they working at and his sister making a physics project almost completing it. "So Liu how's your day?" his curios sister asked. "Well I made a friend in the woods." He said in a proud voice."That's great is your friend a girl or a boy?" My dad asked while munching his food. "Well it's a girl she's a fox, she's funny and it took us a minute to be friends." Liu explained. "Ooh someone's having a "girlfriend" fast" His mom said in a mocking tone. "MOM!! We just met" Liu argued and blushed. His sister stuck out a tounge and disgusted face "Bleh! romance is disgusting makes me want to throw up." She cringed. "What's her name by the way" His dad added. "Paru" Liu replied. "Hmmm an interesting name," His father added. "You know if you want to have a playdate together sometime so we can meet her family and get to know them better." his mom explained. "Lia, let our boy get to know her before that don't get to soon." Liu didn't understand what he meant but his mom nodded. They all freshen up and got to bed. The next day Liu got up early and ate breakfast. As usual stuff he got out on the house and ran to the woods. he still remembered where they met because he put some marks on the trees yesterday. It's 8:15, he always ends up being early wherever he goes, to school, to events and other stuff he hates being tardy so he won't miss stuff. Liu enjoyed the nature and he saw an arrow in the tree signing "UP" he was curious and looked up. "PEEKABOO!!!" Liu was shocked and let out a flinch. His friend hanging upside down on a branch lauging mockingly. "Ugh stop scaring me like that!!!" When  Paru catched her breath and said in a mocking voice. "i always want to see the look on your face sometimes it's cute." she stated Liu blushed and rubbed it off. "So what do you want to do?" Liu asked. "Well wanna walk around the woods to the park?" Liu nodded in the suggestion. Paru got down the tree and started to walk with him.
