Friends Again

Lily was 15 years old. She was skinny and short. Lily had red long wavy hair. Her face was round
with full lips, pointed nose and green almond eyes. Her skin was tanned. Lily was beautiful and
athletic. She was very friendly and intelligent, but she was not the most popular girl in the high
school.

Lily´s best friend was called Alexander. He was tall and very friendly. His hair was brown and
short, and he played football. They used to play always together, but one day that changed.

Lily was playing with Adrian, her brother, when she looked out the window and saw Alexander
talking with Claire, the most popular girl in the high school. She was furious! Her best friend was
talking with the girl who Lily hated! She left home to fight with Alexander, who was on the tree
house. Lily climbed the tree and entered the tree house.

Two minutes later, Lily fell down, and she was knocked unconscious by the impact. Adrian, who
had seen all behind the window, called their parents while Alexander was calling the hospital.

Lily didn´t wake up the next day, and the doctors were worried. Lily could be dead and they didn´t
know it! But Alexander thought she would be ok.

One week later, Lily woke up. She looked at her sides and saw Alexander. “Where am I?” she
wondered. “You are at the hospital” answered Alexander. “And how long have I been here?” asked
Lily. “More than one week” he replied “I´m so sorry. Claire just wanted us to be friends” he
commented sadly. Lily just gave him a hug and they become best friends again.

Four days later, Lily was going home when she received a visit from Claire. She told Lily she was
sorry and she wanted to be their friend, but Lily minus understood the situation. Lily agreed to be
her friend, and now, they are always together, they´re like a family.
