Rosalinda joined Mia in the kitchen while Levi played video games in his room,by the time dinner is ready,their parents arrived, sweet aroma welcomed them and they salivated.
Dinner is ready but they ought to discuss what needs to.
The family sat in the living room and Mia is the first to speak 'How is the place you went?'
'The owner said she'll give us a ten percent discount and the place has been repaired 'Henry said with a smile.
' Wow,I heard it's hard to get an apartment these days and what? a ten percent discount?,man, the owner is nice' Levi said.
' The restaurant will be in front and the rooms will be at the back,a little space between them and few doors separating them though but I can assure you the place is very nice' Stella explained looking at everyone excitedly.
' About school, you'll both get uniform the third day so don't worry about a thing 'Stella added .
' No biggie' Levi said and looked at Rosalinda.
' Yeah ' Rosalinda said and Levi okayed with his hand.He remembered himself to talk to her tonight because she seem worried.
' I'll like to get some sleep if there's no other thing' Rosalinda said and left the living room to her room.
Levi looked at Mia and she urged him to follow Rosalinda.
Levi knocked gently on Rosalinda' door though she always put a notice ' restricted area ' on her door,she doesn't answer.
' I'm coming in' Levi said before slowly pushing the door open,he saw her on her bed crying.
He sat gently beside her, patting her back, waiting for her to tell him herself, 'It's good to cry' ,he told himself.
'Levi' Rosalinda called.
'You can tell me anything '
' Another school and another house,how am I supposed to cope,no one even want to be friends with me,I don't even have friends here I can bid goodbye, it's obvious what people there will say and think of me, you know what?,I feel frustrated and hurt,when I see my classmates with their friends,they hang out together with their guy friends and do stuff, and me?,no one even want to be friends with me not to talk of guys wanting to be my friend at least,I can't cope unlike you with good looks,I don't know what to do anymore ' she explained and cried.
Levi listened to her quietly and still patted her back.
' It's okay, seriously, I don't know how you feel but I want you to have good spirits and don't compare yourself to others,you said you don't know what you can do but I know ' at this, Rosalinda looked at him and asked 'what'
'Do you believe in me?' he asked.
'You know it's only you on earth 'she replied
' Okay,you know we haven't resumed school and I work out every morning, let's do it together starting from tomorrow and when we get to the city,we'll continue till our vacation is over,we still have three weeks left,what say?'
' I believe you but do you think even if I lose weight, I'll be pretty?'
'Yes, absolutely'he said with confidence.
'You know,I promised to never lose weight again, it's not like I like me being like this but I'm just tired of people,but now I'll give it a try
a shot ' she said.
' It's not bad to break some type of promise you know?, don't worry, everything will be fine '
'You know, you're a good listener '
' The honor is mine 'he replied.
They both hugged each other and Levi stood up to leave but then Rosalinda held his hands and muttered 'Thank you 'and he smiled.
He was about to open the door but he stopped,
'what's wrong?'Rosalinda asked.
'Oh, I forgot something I wanted to say just now' he said and tried to remember . 'oh,and you have to stop eating food 'he remembered.
'what?,stop eating food?,are you kidding? she retorted.
'haha,no I mean fatty foods,you get that?
'better, I'll try '
' don't just try,put it into action '
He stepped out of her room and suddenly,he opened it again and said ' I'll be here at 5 am knocking at your door '
Levi finally left and Rosalinda sighed and then smiled.
' Now I'm definitely ready to lose some weight ' she said to herself.
'but..., she shook her head and cut herself mid sentence and went to bed looking forward to a glorious morning.
...At 5 am...
Knock knock knock...
Rosalinda heard knocks on her door,she knew it was Levi,she woke up groggily and said ' is it time already? '
' That jerk ,always on time with things like this.' She muttered.
' I'll be out in a sec '. She said and after a few minutes she was ready in her clothes and running shoes.
Now they are set to go and as they turn back Stella was starring at them with hands on both sides.
' Holy,this won't look so good ' Levi said,of course in his mind and shifted closer to Rosalinda.
' Care to tell me what's happening here? ' Stella said almost shouting.
Rosalinda started to explain
'Uhm ,mum we're... we're going outside for some fresh air ...' and then she met her mum's gaze,it wasn't good at all so she quickly said ' actually I want to lose some weight '.and then she explained everything about the previous night.
Stella still had a look on her face and the duo couldn't even look into her eyes and then Stella suddenly said
' You should have tell me from the beginning you brats ' she shouted 'but that's a good idea 'she said in a low tone looking at Rosalinda.
' Go on ' Stella said and went to her room into her room.
Levi and Rosalinda just looked at themselves and said together 'weird' .
That was so much unlike their mother but she just want the best for her daughter.
