Jonah was practicing his guitar softly in his room, playing a song he'd just barely made up, when he heard the car pull up the driveway. The new girl! Smiling happily, Jonah set his guitar down tenderly and dashed out of the room in his Transformers pajamas and socks. He almost slid around the corner and couldn't help but hide his smile as he shuffled up to the new girl. Her name was... Bella. He liked that name. She spoke funny, but Jonah knew better than to say anything. So he sat at the table and looked at the girl from his seat. He couldn't help but blurt out his introduction, though he'd thought he'd be too nervous. "Hi Bella! My name's Jonah, and I'm nine and I play the guitar! What do you like to do?"
