我个子高，她则身材娇小。我一头浓浓的黑发最近刚被剪短成一种蓬松的发型。而她那一头天生的金发却长及腰际，甩动起来时好看得要命。我12岁，是班里最大的学生之一。她才11岁，是班里最小的学生之一。我笨拙而羞涩。她却不这样。我穿着宽松的工装裤，运动衫，脚上是一双暗黄绿色的徒步靴。帕瑞丝则脚登镶着人造钻石的松糕鞋，身穿价格不菲由设计师设计的牛仔裤…… 我无法容忍她。我把她看作是我的敌人。但她喜欢我，想和我交朋友。 一天，她邀我去她家玩，我答应了——我太过惊讶，都不知道该说什么了。我家在六年之内搬迁了六次，所以我从来都没建立起太多的友谊。从没有人邀我去家里玩过，但这个涂着彩色唇膏、衣着时髦的女孩却希望我放学后去她家玩。 她住在这个城市里的一个热闹有趣的街区。那里有两家比萨店，一家通宵书店，一座电影院和一个公园。当我们从校车站穿过附近的街区向她家走去的时候，我试图想猜出哪幢房子会是她家的。是那幢有一片漂亮草坪的白房子？还是那幢前廊上蹲着一只皮毛光滑的金毛猎犬的三层小楼？ 我很吃惊，因为她把我带进了一幢充斥着油煎食品、化学清洁剂和熏香味道的公寓楼。她和母亲、继父、两个弟弟以及妹妹就一起住在楼上四层的一个两居室中。 在我们走进了她和妹妹合住的那个房间后，她拿出了一个装着许多芭比娃娃的大盒子——这是第二件令我吃惊的事。我本来以为她已经长大了，到了不会再玩它们的年龄。我就从来不玩它们。但是，我们一起坐在一个大壁橱的地板上，给这些娃娃们编起了有趣的故事，乐得哈哈大笑。也就是在那个时候，我们发现：我们都想长大后当作家，都有着超凡的想象力。 那天下午，我们过得非常愉快。我们笑得太多，下巴都笑酸了。她让我看她的衣柜，那里面的衣服大都来自这个街区南边的那家时装设计店。时装店的女老板在报纸上登广告，有时会请帕瑞斯来当模特，报酬就是衣服。 整个街区的人都喜欢帕瑞斯。书店老板借给她时尚杂志，电影院免费送她电影票，比萨饼店让她免费品尝比萨饼。不久之后，我也被带入了她的奇妙世界。我们到彼此的家里去过夜；我们的每一刻空闲时间都在一起度过。在那期间，我的黑头发长长了，我学会了欣赏自己的高个子。 帕瑞斯，我儿时的第一个真正朋友，帮我度过了我青涩岁月的最初几年，并且在交友这件事上，教我懂得了一件令人奇妙而惊异的事情：那个看似最坏的敌人可能却会是你最好的朋友。</p>
