Chapter 1 A New Beginning

It was the 15th of april a beautiful day in the small town of Maple Grove. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and everything seemed perfect. I had just moved to town with my family, and was excited to start a new life. I was a shy, introverted boy who had never really had many friends before. But i was determined to make a fresh start and make some new friends.

As i walked through town, i saw a girl sitting on a bench reading a book. She was the most beautiful girl i had ever seen. Her name was Lily. I couldn't take his eyes off her. I was too shy to talk to her, so i just walked by and pretended not to notice her.

But i was so mesmerized by Lily and couldn't help but feel drawn to her. I knew i should keep walking, but i couldn't make himself do it. So i changed my course and headed for the bench where Lily was sitting. I was nervous, but was determined to make a good impression.

As i got closer, i noticed that Lily had long brown hair and blue eyes that sparkled in the sunlight. She looked up from her book and smiled at me. Man, i was so taken aback i couldn't believe it. I had never had a girl smile at me before.

I nervously stepped up to the bench and introduced himself as jack. Lily smiled and said her name was Lily. She asked me what k was doing in town and i told her i had just moved there with my family. She asked if i had made any friends yet and i told her i hadn't yet. She asked me if i would like to hang out with her and i eagerly agreed.

We talked and laughed for hours. Lily told me about the town and all of the fun things he could do. She was so friendly and welcoming. It felt like i had known her for years.

By the time we had to say goodbye, we had become fast friends. We made plans to hang out again the next day. I couldn't believe my luck. I had just moved to a new town and already found a friend.

I thanked Lily for being so kind and waved goodbye. I felt a warmth inside that he had never felt before. I knew that my life in Maple Grove was going to be better than i had ever imagined.
