• "My Island"

    "...I had that dream..."
    "That I was on the island...with those kids again."
    "I remember one girls face in particular..."
    "She had long wavy crimson hair, that always smelled like cherry blossom..."
    "I remember...We were all on the beach together lying there...Staring into the sky."
    "...Hey Lucas." The girl asked.
    "Yeah Jessi what is it?"
    "Do you...do you think all of us will be friend forever...I mean...we have to grow up sooner or later..."
    "..." That was the only response I could give her....
    "Then Cody chimed in and said..."
    "Jessi, Lucas, don't worry I know we'll all be friend forever. Even if we don't see each other again...We can still remember the times we have as friends together right Mike?"
    "Mike just laid there smiling his nonchalant smile..."
    "Yeah...Your right Cody..."
    "I dug into my pocket and handed everyone something I valued more then anything..."
    "Hey guys umm...I was hoping something like this would come up so I can give it to you guys."
    I pulled out a few stone flowers, each one was different.
    "I'll take this rose. Mike you can have the daisy. Cody can take the orchid. and Jessi...Here I want you to have my favorite one..."
    "She just looked at me...and hugged me and cried..."
    "Oh Lucas thank you, I love it honestly thank you..."
    "...Hey it's okay...You don't have to cry Jessi...Your getting tears on my favorite shirt that you got me..."
    "Cody and Mike both left taking the hint..."
    Jessi dug her head out of my chest and said, "Lucas...thank you. I'll treasure this blossom stone flower for the rest of my life..."
    "I remember...the next day Cody had moved away...but we all kept in touch with him in letters from the mainland..."
    "Then...Mike left...I cried that entire day with Jessi since he was my best friend of all..."
    "Then finally I had to leave because my mom got a job on the mainland painting for some builders...Just while I was in the boat waiting for it to leave...Jessi came..."
    "Lucas! I'll never forget you...I'll always love you no matter what!...Don't forget me..."
    "...That's where Jessi is waiting for me...I'll go back to my island...with the others...and we'll be best friends again..."
    "..."
