1 part 2

After a few minutes, I came to the conclusion that I was at the right area after all. I very rarely take wrong turns. I spun on my backside to face the house behind the garden wall. There was no house behind the garage so I sat and studied the house. it had two storeys and a garbage with an expensive car parked outside the glistened in the sun. A plaque on the garden wall beneath me said' fuchsia House', and the house had blooming Fuchsia climbing up the wall, clinging to the brown bricks over the front door and reaching all the way up to the roof. It looked pretty. fractions of the house had brown bricks and other sections had been painted a Honey colour. Some of the windows were square and the others were circles. It was really unusual. It had a fuchsia- coloured front door with two long windows with frosted glass in the top two panels , a huge brass knocker and letter box beneath', it's looks like two eyes, a nose and a month smiling at me. I waved and smiled back just in case. Well, you can be too sure these days.

Just as I was studying the face of the front door, it opened and was shammed shut rather loudly or angrily by a boy who come running outside. He had a big red fire engine in his right hand and a police car him his left hand. I love the fire engine', they were my favorite. The boy jumped off the front step of the porch and run to the grass where he skidded to his knees. He got grass stain all down his black tracksuit bottoms, which made me laugh, grass stain are so much fun because they never come out. My old friend Berry and I used to slide all of the time. Anywhere, the little boy started crashing hi fire engine against his police car and making all this noise with his mouth. He was good at that noises. Berry and I always used to do that too. it's fun pretending to do the things that don't usually happens in real life.

The boy rammed the police car into the real fire engine and the head fire man, who was clinging to the ladder at the side of the truck, slid off. I love out louded and the boy looked up.

He actually look me. Right into the eyes.

' Hi,' I said , nervously cleaning my throat and shifting from one foot to the other. I was wearing my favorite blue canverse runners and they still had grass strain on the white rubber tips from when Berry and I went sliding. I started to run the rubber tips against the brick wall to try to scrape it off and thought about what to say next. As much as making friends is my favorite things to do I still get a bit of nervous about it. There's always that scary chance that people won't like me and it's give me the collywobbles. I've been lucky so far but it would be silly to presume that the same thing will happen same time.

' Hi, ' the boy replied, fixing the fire man onto the ladder .

' what's your name?' I asked, kicking my foot against the wall on front of me and scraping the rubber tips. The grass stains will won't come off.

The boy studied me for a while, look me up and down though trying to decide whether to tell me his name or not. This is part of my job I absolutely loathe. it's tough wanting to be my friends with someone and them not wanting the same back. That happen sometime but in the end they always comes round because, weather they know it or not, they want me to be there.

The boy had white brown - hair and big blue eyes. I knew his face from somewhere but couldn't quite think where.

Finally he spoke.' my name's Luke. what's yours?'

I shoved my hand deep into my pockets and concentrate on kicking my right foot against the garden wall. I was making parts of the bricks crumble and fall to the ground. without looking at him I said, ' Ivan'.

' Hi, Ivan,' he smiled. He had no front teeth.

' Hi', Luke', I smiled back.

I have all mine.

' I liked your fire engine. My best ---- my old best friend Berry used to have one just like it and we used to play with it all the time. it's got a stupid name, though, because it can't drive through fire because it's melt,' I explained, still keeping my hands shoved into my pockets, causing my shoulders to hunch up past my ears. it made things a little quieter so I took my hands out of my pocket just so I could hear what Luke was saying.
