Mark strolled to school extra slowly, on purpose, as he awaited that cry that always brightened up his day-
"MARK!!!" shouted a boy at the top of his voice from down the road.
Mark turned and smiled as Cassidy tore down the road, holding a half-buttered slice of toast.
With Cassidy's free hand they performed their unique handshake, which consisted of a hi-five, spin and clap.
Then Cassidy began to munch on his toast.
"Your breakfast?" Mark asked as they walked.
"Mmm-hm," Cassidy replied, his mouth full, trying not to spit breadcrumbs everywhere.
Mark laughed.
"You got up late again?"
"Mmm."1013Please respect copyright.PENANAD5k1S5aEXA
Cassidy nodded, then covered his mouth.
"Did you forget to pack your bag properly as well?"1013Please respect copyright.PENANAmdLTbyKe07
His friend swallowed, then ran back down the road from which he'd appeared, shouting "Wait here...!".
Mark burst into a fit of laughter.
"My silly friend," he whispered himself. "My silly, silly best friend."
