Rin's First Friend

A young girl was playing with her dog in a small village at the countryside. The girl, Rin, had long crimson hair and emerald eyes. Her dog, Hero, was a loyal and brave dog.

One day, Rin and Hero were running happily through a forest nearby. As they were running, they saw an injured young boy. Rin, being kind hearted, approached the crying boy. However, Hero disagreed. He growled at the boy as he did not want his mistress to be hurt.

Rin, ignoring Hero's warning, called to the boy, saying, "Hello. What happened to you?" The boy, surprised, said," I was running when suddenly I tripped on a stone and fell. It really hurts."

Rin quickly ripped her red dress which she was wearing into a small long piece. Gently, she tied her torn cloth over the boy's injury. By this time, Hero had come near the duo. The boy who had stopped crying said, "Thank you. My name is Pri.....I mean Laurance. Yeah... Laurance!" Rin, not suspecting anything, said," Well nice to meet you Laurance. I'm Rin."

"Rin?" Laurance said," That's a nice name" Hero, feeling left out, barked." Oh! And this is Hero." said Rin " Anyways, why are you here? I've never seen you before." Laurance nervously said," Well, I kinda ran away from my guards....I mean... friends. They were always following me so I don't have any personal space, ya know?"

Rin replied," Huh, I've never thought about it that way. I mean I don't really have any friends unless you count Hero. Most kids just avoid me because they say I'm weird."

At this, Laurance laughed," It's different for me. People want my attention even if I reject them, they still come back. Say, do you want to be friends?" Rin, surprised, asked, " Really! Are you sure? You don't think I'm weird?"" Really. In fact, you're not weird at all." The duo talked together for some time after that.

As the sun was setting, Hero licked the friends' face." Well, I have to go now. See you tommorow?" asked Rin." Of course! " answered Laurance.The two friends then said goodbye.
