Playing with Tenten(Edited).

I wake up in the afternoon and immediately stretch; I must say that stretching after sleeping is a very comfortable feeling.

stomach growls

I'm very hungry.

I went to the kitchen for food.

Food is becoming a problem; lately, I've been eating a bit more than usual (by the way, talking about the amount for a child).

While I finish eating, I hear someone knocking at the door, so I go to answer it.

I wonder who would come, I don't know many people.

She arrived at the entrance of the house, I open the door and see a girl with two buns.

I am surprised.

Hey, don't you have any friends to annoy?

Obviously, I don't say it.

"Hello, Tenten, what brings you here?"

"I came to play."

I freeze for a moment.

Hey, girl, didn't your parents teach you that people who are very hurt like me shouldn't do those things to avoid making the wound worse? Besides, when did we become friends for you to come to my house and tell me to go play with you?

Seeing that I remained silent, she spoke.

"Don't you want to?"

"No, that's not it..."

"Then let's go."

Before I can finish speaking, she grabs my hands and drags me with her.

Seeing how she drags me along, I wonder if the original Tenten was like this with others; although I don't remember exactly, I have the impression that this Tenten is different from the original.

We arrived at a park where some children were playing, then she asked me.

"And now what do we do?"

I freeze again, thinking: Hey, girl, didn't you invite me?

"Don't you have friends to play with?"

No, it's the first time I've come.

I am astonished to hear that.

"So, what reasons would you be here for?"

"My mom says I'm growing up, so I should play with other kids, so she told me to go find friends to play with and, well, you're the only kid I know, so I called you."

Now it makes sense, well, in that part they are right.

Well, it seems I can't just leave like that.

"Okay, I'll play with you a little."

While I think, no game comes to mind; I only remember things like soccer, baseball, soccer again. It's not that as a child there were many things that didn't involve technology.

I decided on baseball because I didn't know what else to do.

Somehow, I managed to get a stick (don't ask where I got it from) that seemed quite sturdy and a couple of stones.

Look, how about I throw these stones and you try to hit it with that stick?

Even though he doesn't understand well, he grabs the stick while I move a few meters away, getting into position.

"Are you ready!"

"Yes"

So he threw a stone at his side and clearly missed.

"Again"

She says, seeming not to want to give up.

And so we spent the afternoon; in the process, Tenten managed to give him a few.

The truth is that I have fun watching him fall when he misses the shot.

We're walking back; I can see that he had quite a lot of fun.

"Hey, can we come tomorrow too?"

Well, I have nothing else to do in the afternoons since my training is in the mornings.

"That's fine."

"Yes"

He jumps while saying it.

Is there a need to jump?

Finally, when we arrived outside my house.

"Are you going to accompany me inside the house too?"

I say in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

Noo?

He says it with an uncertain tone.

I forgot I'm talking to a girl; she doesn't understand sarcasm.

Forget it, I'm going to sleep. You should go home; your parents must be worried.

"Oh, so tomorrow then."

I see her running away, so I just stand there watching:

Yes, the kids have plenty of energy.

He entered the house exhausted.

Because I feel like I'm aging quickly.

A week later, at noon -

A week has passed since I started playing with Tenten.

I must say that the girl has too much energy; I always come home tired, I look like those office workers who come home from work unable to pay attention to their family after work.

I am dressed in the newest and cleanest clothes I have.

You might be wondering why I'm dressed like this, well, yesterday Tenten told me.

"Hey, Yuu, tomorrow we're going to my house."

Hey, when did I agree to go with you?, and why are we going to your house?'

I was surprised for a moment and asked.

"Why did you suddenly invite me to your house?"

"When I got home yesterday, my mom asked me how many friends I made this week." I told her I made one, then she said, "You can bring your friend home if you want, I'd like to meet him."

"Hey, your mother said you could, not that you had to bring me."

And that's how today ends like this.

I sit down to wait, after a few minutes.

"Hi, Yuu, I already told my mom and she agrees, let's go."

"Okey"

He grabs my hand and drags me to his house.

She takes me to an area I had never known; we arrive at a medium-sized house, she opens the door.

We walked in and I see her mom with a gentle smile on her face.
