Leslie is a new transferee from a new school, she would often struggle with making friends because of her appearance and actions. Her style is like a rockstar’s but colorful. She layers her clothing, makes some socks as leg warmers, and makes pins. She’s also very lively, and has a wild imagination. Well her parents ARE authors, so it isn’t a surprise. She just transferred a new school, there’s this guy named Jess Aarons, she had currently beaten him on a race, that made him mad. Because who wants to get beaten by a girl? But currently, she has tried to befriend him. Jess is also an outcast, he would get pushed around, get called farm boy and get picked on for having hand me downs from his sisters. His family doesn’t pay much attention to him, since he has 2 older sisters and 2 younger ones. His dad would always get mad at him and pay more attention to his little sister May Belle. So he pretty much was a loner, until Leslie came.

Leslie lives close to his house, since she wanted to befriend him, she decided to make him come to one of her adventures, she found a rope tied to an old tree, beneath the rope was a river. She decided to swing on to it and go to the other side of the forest. And Jess came along, she found a treehouse,she would build stuff there. She was pretty good at it, while Jess painted stuff. Leslie would tend to get imaginations, seeing creatures because she has made up a roleplay that where their at is a kingdom, and she’s named it “Terabithia.” While she’s the queen while Jess is the king. And her detailed imaginations made Jess see them too. But since his dad would always get mad at him, he would tend to snap at Leslie whenever his dad gets mad at him, he would repeat what his dad says to him and say it to her. But she would shrug it off, she’s unbothered about stuff like that anyways. She’s just lively and adventurous

Recently, Jess got teased again. Their currently at the treehouse Leslie repaired. Jess has been quiet ever since he got picked on again. Jess turns his head to look at her, his voice hesitant but soft. His head and eyes lowering as he looks at his lap.

“Am I weird?”

He asks hesitantly in a soft voice, but he wanted to know if he was weird or what. He had always been insecure about these stuff.

Leslie smiles and looks at him back, she lets out a giggle, her lively expression would always brighten Jess’ day up. Her adventurous and imaginatory personality would always entertain him, and make him feel better.

“Yeah, but so what?! Everyone’s weird!”

Leslie says was smiling,she was always positive for some reason. Finding stuff to make him laugh,even if it’s probably weird or irritating to some people. But Jess finds her pretty cool anyways. He never minds her “weird” adventurous, and lively self. He finds it cool, because its almost like she’s fearless when it comes to exploring stuff or places.
