Four year old Billie Joe was sitting by himself at the back of the room watching all the other kids playing Doctor and Nurses. He thought these games were just stupid and refused to join in. Truth was the other kids didn't really like him, they thought he was weird but Billie Joe didn't care much for them either. But today was different. A new girl had joined and young Billie couldn't keep his eyes off her. She had black hair, neatly placed into pigtails and the most amazing smile that Billie had ever seen. Every time he looked at her he felt a feeling in his stomach that he had never felt before, he felt nervous and sick but happy all at the same time.
The girl noticed Billie Joe sitting all by himself and she was at once captivated by him. He had the greenest green eyes she had ever seen and she liked the way his black hair sat all messy on top of his head. She left the game and went over to join him.
"Why you not playing with us?" she asked.
"Cause no one likes me" Billie replied without feeling. He noted her accent, Spanish, he kinda liked it.
"How come?" The girl quizzed further.
"Don't know, don't care."
"My names Gill by the way."
"Billie Joe," he replied, then said, " Gill, not very Spanish is it?"
"No, my mom's American, that's why we moved here. My parents wanted me to have an unusual name but I guess its not going to be very unique anymore." She said with a trace of sadness in her voice.
"So where in Spain are you from?" Billie Joe asked impulsively, the first time he had ever truly been interested in someone else.
"Barcelona. I kinda miss it."
She sat down next to him and they continued their conversation. The more they chatted the more they began to like each other. Gill was the first kid ever to give Billie Joe the time of day and it made him feel good.
Billie Joe made Gill laugh, he was a sweet kid. She couldn't understand why all the others ignored him, if only they got to know him they would see how great he was.
After a while some of the other children came over to where Gill and Billie joe still sat.
"I wouldn't be talking to him if I were you, he's weird," A girl with long, brown hair tied neatly into a high ponytail said.
"Yeah," said the blonde that was with her, " I heard he still wets the bed," she sneered and they both laughed. Billie Joe went red with anger but said nothing, he looked down at his feet, rememebring what his dad has told him to do if the other kids made fun of him again. He took a deep breath and stared defiantly back at the two girls.
" Well, at least I can wipe my own ass!" Gill laughed and the girls turned their attention to her.
"You have to make a choice, if you talk to him then you can't play with us any more."
"Fine, you're games are stupid anyway." The two girls looked shocked that they had been rejected and stormed away. Gill turned round to face Billie Joe.
"It's not true. you know, what they said." He said sheepishly, his face red again but this time with embarsment.
"It's ok, i never believed them anyways."
She smiled at him and suddenly Billie Joe felt alright. As long as he had Gill by his side he could handle whatever the other kids said to him. He smiled back at her and their friendship was sealed.
Eventually it was time to go home. Billie Joe watched as Gill spoke in Spanish with her dad and was very impressed, he hadn't a clue what was being said but their was something about it he really liked. Gill turned around and waved to Billie as she left and he waved and smiled. For the first time in his life Billie Joe had real friend. It felt nice.

That night Billie Joe's mom didn't have the usual struggle to get him bathed and into bed. Billie willingly got himself ready and was tucked up in bed sound asleep without stalling once because tonight was different. He was looking forward to school the next day and couldn't wait for it to be tomorrow when he could see Gill again.
