Friendship Even When They Don't Want to Be Friends
In Lake Oswego, Oregon, a sweet and motherly six-year-old named Sydney befriends Chase, a boy who struggles socially due to ADHD. Despite others' frustrations with Chase's outbursts, Sydney sees the good in him and stands by his side. As they grow, Chase's social skills improve, and he makes more friends, leaving Sydney feeling alone. However, their bond is rekindled during their senior year, proving the enduring power of true friendship.
Sydney lived in the beautiful town of Lake Oswego, Oregon. She was a sweet and caring six-year-old who wore glasses and loved to play at the park. One day, she met a boy named Chase who was sitting alone, looking sad. Everyone else seemed to avoid him because he had trouble staying calm. Sydney wanted to help Chase feel better, but it was hard because he would sometimes shout suddenly.
Sydney approached Chase with a friendly smile. She asked, - Would you like to play on the swings with me? Chase hesitated, unsure if Sydney really wanted to be his friend. - I don't think I can, he replied softly. Sydney was determined to show Chase that she cared.
Sydney and Chase went to the swings, but Chase suddenly got upset when the swing wouldn't go high enough. - This swing is broken! he exclaimed. Sydney tried to calm him down by saying, - Let's try the slides instead! But when they reached the slides, Chase worried about climbing too high. Sydney felt a little unsure about what to do next.
Another day, Sydney and Chase tried to play a game of tag. Chase got upset when he couldn't catch anyone. - It's not fair! he shouted. Sydney tried to cheer him up, saying, - Let's make up our own game together! But Chase just crossed his arms, feeling defeated.
Sydney felt sad because she couldn't help Chase feel better. She even thought about giving up on being his friend. - Maybe he just doesn't want to be my friend, she sighed. But deep down, Sydney knew that Chase needed someone to be there for him, even if it was hard.
One day, Sydney's mom sat down with her. - Sometimes, it just takes a little patience and understanding, her mom said. Sydney realized that she had to keep trying, no matter what. She decided to help Chase in small ways, like sharing her toys and taking turns. Sydney felt hopeful again.
Sydney started to see Chase smile more often. - Thanks for being my friend, he said one day. Sydney knew she was doing the right thing. They played new games that Chase liked, and he felt more comfortable. Sydney felt proud of her efforts.
Years passed, and Sydney and Chase stayed friends. Eventually, Chase made more friends and didn't need Sydney as much. Sydney missed him, but she was happy he was doing well. - I'm really glad he's happy now, she thought.
In their senior year of high school, Chase approached Sydney with a smile. - I realized how much you've always been there for me, he said. Sydney felt a warm feeling in her heart. They decided to go to prom together, celebrating their special friendship.
At prom, Sydney and Chase danced together, feeling grateful for their lasting friendship. - I'm so glad we're friends again, Chase said. Sydney smiled, knowing that their bond was stronger than ever. They knew they would always be there for each other.
