Chapter 1: Blah, Blah, Blah… Backstory
I met Cade in Kindergarten when I was five. He was the overly confident kid who stole crayons and ate paste just for the fun of it. He was the kid that everybody liked and who was everyone’s friends. You know, the kid that always gets “Most likely to be President” when you graduate. Blah. I was the lovable, withdrawn girl who everyone liked, but never really got to know that well. I was the girl that loved to color pictures that were beautiful enough and laudable enough of the refrigerator.
One day, our teacher made us go out of our comfort zones and try a new center from the norm. I always stayed in art (coloring for mommy!) and Cade in puzzles (He’s a puzzle freak!) so she sent us both to my worst nightmare, the building center. The building center had all kinds of wooden blocks in every size, shape, and color imaginable that most boys found “their dream”. It was foreign territory to me, the blocks…and Cade. The disheveled brown-haired boy had always appealed to me, but still…he had cooties. Our teacher dared us all to build the highest block tower we could. Today, I understand she was trying to get us to “expand our horizons” a bit and meet new people. Back then, I thought she was an evil witch sent to ruin my perfectly calm, peaceful life. I, being the good little girl I was, started building a tower with Cade right away. Surprisingly, he and I got along pretty well and before long we had the highest tower in the class.
We also had a kid named Ronny in our class. He was the rat, the class clown, the cry-baby, and the teacher’s pet all wrapped up into one evil package. Ronny had decided to be funny that day and while the teacher’s back was turned, “slightly nudge” our tower so it would fall. Just as the tower was falling, Riley pushed me out from under the falling blocks, “saving my life”. Since then, we’ve been inseparable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
