A Knock at the Door

I was playing with my iwako figures today when I heard a knock at the door.

I didn't think much of it, mum normally answers the door anyway.

But then I heard a knock at MY door, so I dropped my figures and got up to see who was trying to get into my bedroom.

When I opened the door, I saw a girl!

She looked around my age and she was smiling a little awkwardly, so I let her in.

I invited her to sit down and set about figuring out who she was and what exactly she was doing in my bedroom.

Turns out, her name is Olive and she's just moved in a few houses down from us. She came by for a few minutes to introduce herself and my mum (knowing how friendly I am and sensing how shy Olive was) sent her right on up to me.

I think she felt strange with me asking so many questions, so she asked what I had been doing before she arrived. I remembered that I'd left my figures on the floor and picked up one to show her. She said she thought that they were adorable!

 I said she could play with me if she wanted but she said she had to go, her mother wouldn't have expected her to come inside to chat, so she'd be wondering what had happened. I waved her off and told her she could come over whenever she wanted.

I'm looking forward to getting to know Olive, there's not really any other kids in the area (there's hardly any other people in general!), so I think it's safe to say I'll be seeing lots of her.

Bye!
