Left Behind – The Kids, Book 1 Chapter 4
“Your real name’s Rayford?” Ryan Daley squealed at his best friend. “We’ve known each other how long, and I never knew that!” Raymie Steele smiled and shook his head. “Don’t make such a big deal about it. Otherwise I’ll tell everybody about your middle name!”
The boys had grown up on the same street, one living on each end. They had begun kindergarten together, and now they were both twelve and in the sixth grade. They were as close as brothers. Ryan was an only child, and Raymie may as well have been. His only sister, Chloe, was eight years older and it been away at college two years already.
Ryan and Raymie had a lot in common. Each had a father who was too busy for him. These guys needed each other. Ryan was a little shorter and thicker than Raymie, who was slender and tall and dark like his father. Ryan was a blonde and the better athlete of the two.
Like any close friends, they squabbled a lot. Once in awhile they even said nasty things to each other and vowed never to talk to each other again. The next day one would call the other or just go to his house and they would start in where they had left off, best friends. No apologies, no mention of the argument. Just friends again.
