A piece of toast trying to find a friend.

Remmy's Perfect Friend

And with that, the bell rang. The halls are small as sidewalks, so you are bound to run into someone. Today he accidentally ran into jelly toast, the new girl at school. “Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry!” Remmy exclaimed while helping jelly toast pick up her books. “Don’t worry about it,” she said “I’m Sammy, I’m new and looking for some friends, what’s your name?" “I-I-I’m Remmy,” Remmy stammered frozen where he was.

The bus arrived at school and Remmy got out to head to his first-period class. The wind whistled as he walked.&nbsp; *BRIIIIIIIINNGGG* went the bell right as Remmy walked into class.

“Same!” she remarked. “Wanna walk to class with me?” “Sure!” he replied. And with that, they walked to class. After class, Remmy gets Sammy’s phone number and he walks back to the bus stop. He can’t wait to tell his mom about her, and about the day he has had.

While on the bus they texted each other the whole time and even planned a hangout for that weekend. Remmy couldn’t wait. *Ding* goes Remmy’s phone as Sammy texts him. They are going to meet at the neighborhood park tomorrow where the swings go so high you can touch the clouds.

The class felt long but eventually, it was lunchtime and Remmy was feeling really down. He needed someone to talk to. He went to sit down in his usual spot. This time there was already a toast there. It looked like a Nutella toast. “Excuse me, this is where I usually sit at lunch,” Remmy remarked. “Oh I’m sorry,” said the Nutella toast. “I’m new and have no one to sit with.” replied the Nutella toast. “It’s all cool, mind if I join you?” Remmy asked. “Not at all!” he remarked.

Remmy gets to the bus stop, early for a change. He decides to sit on the bench by the bus stop and get some homework done that he forgot to do the night before. After doing homework for about 10 minutes he hears two other toasts talking behind him. It’s Julia the avocado toast, and the most popular toast in the school always looking her best with the trendiest looks, and she is talking to her friend. “Hey Julia,” Remmy says, trying to start a conversation.

Maybe she is the one for me he thinks. She is beautiful as a daisy, and he would be lucky to even hang out with someone like her. “Ew! Don’t talk to me. You’re so basic,” she exclaims. Ok, so maybe she isn’t the one for me, he thinks to himself. It turns out she is mean, and her comments are as harsh as the sting of a bee.

The next day they meet up at the park. They see each other from afar. Once they played at the park and swung on the swings, they sat at a picnic table and had lunch together.

In the kitchen, you will find a piece of peanut butter toast leaving his bread bag, brave as a lion, ready to conquer the day. His name is Remmy, and he is a lonely piece of toast. For the longest time, he has been searching for another toast to complete him, like a pirate looking for gold. Today, he feels, is the day he finds his missing half

“I’m so glad I found a friend at school, I moved here recently and thought I would make no friends,”&nbsp;Sammy remarked&nbsp; “Well I have lived here for almost 4 years and I still haven’t found a friend. I am said to be “too loud like a lion” or “basic as a chicken," Remmy confessed.

“Well, I don't think they were very nice people because you are a shining star in a dull town compared to everyone else here’’ After hearing this Remmy realized he had finally found his perfect match.&nbsp;

“I said you could sit here, and no need to yell,” she remarked. “I wasn’t - never mind,” he said. Remmy was thinking she could maybe be his perfect match but turns out she is too quiet for him and he is “too loud” for her.

After talking all of lunch, Remmy ended up erupting all about the day he has had to the Nutella toast, whose name was Ricky, he now knew all about the day he has had and how he thinks he will never find the perfect toast. Ricky told him to keep trying and she will come eventually, and to not settle for anyone other than who he thinks is perfect.

“Mom, do you think I will ever find the toast that will complete me?” Remmy asked his mom one morning. “Of course! You are a shining star in my eyes, and someday someone else will say that to you too,” his mom replied.

As he is walking down the rows of seats, he sees butter toast. He has seen her around school, and she is really pretty but she is a quiet butterfly. “Mind if I sit here?” he asked. “Not at all,” she whispered. “What did you say?” Remmy asked in a regular voice.

Screeeeech* All of a sudden the bus pulls up. Remmy is surprised because there are not as many people at the bus stop as usual. He then grabs his stuff and gets on the bus.

“Aww, thanks, mom! I’m off to school. See you later!” he said. After saying bye Remmy went outside and walked down to the bus stop ready for school.

He had never seen a more beautiful toast in his life. She was pretty as a poppy and graceful as a swan. She had the softest, kindest voice too. “Nice to meet you Remmy, what’s your next class?” she asked. “English,” he replied. “What about you?”
