VALLEY OF COMRADE

They had left for Pennsylvania from Chicago. His father got transferred and they too had to migrate. He was happy although sad because he had to live his friends, cousins, every vennel where he had spent his childhood and many more places which just became his memory. Edward is a fifteen year old teenager who had bunch of friends but is shy in making new friends especially from different place. His new house was in Harrisburg which was quite big and spacious compared to old. It had every single facility Edward wanted. It contained a swimming pool, library, mini club house and many more things. But Edward was not happy; he just wanted his old life back.

They reached at mid noon. He went to his room and started unpacking his things. He arranged his books in library, his collection of shoes in shoe rack, and after about an hour his room got perfect. His mom dad went to the nearest supermarket for buying necessary food items. He was now left alone in the big mansion, thinking what to do. He decided to swim for some time; he wore his costume and had a splash in the pool. He got tired of swimming and now wanted to go in club house. He got into the clubhouse and started playing pool table. The door bell rang and he went to open the door. There was lady standing with a glass bowl in his hand full of fried rice and a girl behind him wearing a short red dress. They were Mrs. Anderson and her daughter Judy who was same age of Edward. They were his neighbours who had come to welcome his family . He welcomed them and gave his introduction, while his parents arrived and they had interacted with each other.

He went to a group of boys to introduce him, but they ignored him as he was not as cool as them. He felt bed but then went to Judy’s group of friends; they also rejected him as they wanted no new people in his group. He was quite upset and sat in the corner table having coke and a burger. Judy came and sat with him and advised him not to get sad and just try to make friends. Weeks pass but he had no friend accept Judy. He was losing hope when a boy named Mason forefronted his hand for friendship. Edward was happy that finally after long he had one school buddy. He often got teased by the senior boys but as time passed he got used to it. Mason always supported him and encouraged him. Soon after a week at the speech competition he spoke on friendship and on his life in Denmark. He even got tears while speaking.

Everybody got cold hearted and even those seniors who were neglecting and teasing him supported him and made friends with him. Time passed and his heart was healed and he had:
