Phoebe was walking happily in their town the next morning. After preparing Sawyer's breakfast she already left. She didn't waited him to wake up but she left a simple message for him.
"Good morning to all of you!" she greeted back to those who passed by her with a wide smile.
"You look happy, Phoebe. Did something happened hmm? Your face is so bright," said of a fat woman while carrying her cute baby girl.
She smiled and approached them. She happily touched the child's cheek and gently squeezed it. She giggled when the baby pouted her lips because of what she did.
"I am? Nothing happened Auntie, I'm just happy because the weather is so beautiful. Hello Shenay, did you eat already? You missed Pretty Phoeb? " she spoke softly but still showing a wide smile on her lips.
The children in Isla Berde called her Pretty Phoeb. And many young women on their Island, Phoebe was very different or special from them, that is what the elders of the Island have said.
With just the color of her skin no one can lift, because she is too fair. They said she is mestiza. She's is also tall, among the girls there she is the tallest next is her bestfriend, well everyone said she's also like a international model. She get the feature of some models.
Many people are wondering because her face was far from her mother's face even her father or anyone in their relatives. Her face was different from them all. In the skin, her Mother and Father are both tan. Their height was also moderate. They're not tall, not even small.
"Pretty Phoeb, are you going go Brother Cad?" The cutie babygirl asks her while holding her hand. She's already 4 years old so she can talk straightly.
Phoebe nodded and smiled so everyone that was looking at her were even more impressed by her beauty. Phoebe's beauty comes out when she smiles. Her beauty can be said to be unparalleled.
"Yes Shenay, after I go to the market I will go straight there."
The mother of the child laughed together with Phoebe when Shenay raised her both hand, she wants to be carried by her.
Her eyes blinked innocently then she pouted her lips. "Shenay, wants to come."
Well Shenay always wants to go with her. Phoebe ruffled the child's hair and kissed her tenderly on the cheek. Phoebe loves kids so much that why the people living on the Island like her so much.
She was kind to everyone. They don't even think Phoebe knows how to get angry. When she speaks she's is very gentle and charming. When she's frustrated it's s only a few minutes, it doesn't last until morning.
Phoebe looked at the child's mother, seemingly asking permission to do so. "Can she Auntie Gali? I will take her to my home , I will bring her back this afternoon."
Of all the children living her in island, Shenay was Phoebe's favorite child. It's not just that Shenay's child is cute, smart and very tender. She sees himself here. She admits that she was cute when she was young.
The woman nodded and handed Shenay to her. "Oh okay. But you're still going to the market aren't you? You might have a hard time, Shenay has already gained weight. "
Phoebe smiled and lifted the baby smoothly Shenay mother was right, she gained weight so heavy. "I'll let my friends help me there."
"Fine, you take care of it." She confronted the child. "Shenay, don't be mean to Pretty Phoeb, okay?"
Shenay nodded at her one after another. "Yes, yes."
After saying goodbye, the two of them walked towards the market. Those who pass by her greet her a good morning. Shenay was very comforted by them. There are many children running towards Phoebe and smiled as she greeted them.
"Good morning to all!" she greeted them.
"Good Morning Pretty Phoeb!" They are still at the same time.
When they went straight to the market some men came to her. They are the friends that she referring at. They're five men.
"Good Morning Phoebe! I will help you with that." Phoebe handed the basket she was holding to the handsome man in front of her.
She can't deny the fact that her friends has a look. Many girls envy with her because she's the friend of the one they're like. That's also the reason why she choose to be friends the men than girl because they are not fakes. Phoebe has a female friend but just only one. She's not like the other girl who only befriend her to get closer to her male friends. Laurel is different from them. She's like her big sister. It was very kind and caring to him.
"Thank you, Dewey. Aren't you doing anything?" she spoke gently and looked around.
Dewey was the kind and helpful of the five. But he's too serious in his life. Sometimes he's a lunatic like the her other friends. He loves to help the people there especially the elders.
Phoebe will only buy vegetables and fish. It's okay if Sawyer eats nutritious foods. He will recovers quickly.
The other friends of her take her purchases. She just laughed when they were still fighting. They are like child. They will fight over the one plastic bag, in the end that plastic bag will place in the basket that Dewey is holding.
"The plastic may rip. Just give that to Dewey, he's holding a basket," she said shaking his head.
"Hey!" Suddenly a man appeared in front of them.
Phoebe looked at him, when she recognized him she smiled broadly. "Caldwell!"
"What did you buy? You take Shenay with you? " he asked when he saw the child she was carrying to.
She nodded and handed the child over him but the child would not separate from her, Shenay won't let her go. She's hugged her neck tightly. Phoebe looked at her.
"Shenay, go to Brother Cad first," she laughed.
But she shook and hugged her even more. Shenay is was not comportable to other people, she's choosing who's she will accompany with. Even though Cad has been in their place for a long time, Shenay still doesn't want to come him. Cad found it hard to tame her no matter how silly it would do to the child.
"I don't want!"
Shenay makes a cute sound that makes them laugh and that make Caldwell pout.
"Even the child don't like you, dude. I won't be surprised if even the woman you've loved for a long time doesn't like you." They all laughed out loud when North said that to Caldwell, he was one of his friends too.
Both North and Dewey had a earring in the right ear. Dewey's hair is blonde and North's is black. Of them all, North was the cleanest and Ziegler is the most messy.
In fact, North is the one who good-looking of them all. The only problem is that he likes to tease Caldwell just like he does now.
"It's a real talk, man," Harkin laughed.
This is her friend who is addicted to anime. As soon as you enter his room, his favorite anime characters will welcome you. He's the man who has no interest in women because it seems like 'Anime is enough' to him. He's happy with his anime characters. He doesn't like women because they are more artistic than his anime, of course Phoebe is not included.
"Beat him Cad," Kale teased.
If Harkin loves Anime, then Kale loves Chinese Drama. His type of girl have a like Chinese faces and bodies. Phoebe shook her head when she remembered thay all his girlfriends are from the city. He also has a girlfriend from China. Long distance can he handle it. He also likes to imitate the hair of his favorite Chinese Actors which really suits it. Dylan Wang's hair is what he imitated today.
"Fuc ---" Phoebe glared at Caldwell so he couldn't finish what he was going to say. She didn't want anyone swearing in front of her when there were kids. "I mean Fuchsia! Yes fuchsia! I'll broke your bone later. Just wait, fuck --- I mean fuchsia! " He scratch his head while giving a death glared the others.
What Fuchsia? Phoebe raise her eyebrow.
Ziegler was quiet but secretly smiled. Yes he was quiet but he was worse than the four. In them all he is the playboy, he has two girls right now but they had never seen him take it seriously.
Her boy friends families was rich. They're one of the richest on the Green Island. But Caldwell was the richest of them all. Their house is big. All his sister's and brother are professional and they're working in Manila and outside the country. His older brother has his own company because his boss gave it to him.
"And you!" Caldwell pointed to Ziegler. "I can see your smile, Fuchsia!"
Ziegler looked at him with a laugh. "I hope it's all Cad! I hope everyone's eyes are clear! " He laughing so loud then walk first. "Hi babes!" He even greeted the women standing on the side.
It was as if they were being tickled. Phoebe notices that they have looked down on her before but she just ignores them. They're always like that. If she know, they just like his boy friends.
"How long have you been here??" Caldwell asked her.
This is what she referring to as her childhood. Undoubtedly, Caldwell's have a good looks more than the five of them but for her North is the one who look better. It's hard to combine North and Caldwell because the noise of them will really break someone's eardrums. These people are more abnormal.
"I've finished all the Chinese Drama, they aren't have a new releases yet? They're so slow to worked! " Kale shouted in annoyance.
"Why don't you go to China and tell them that you will do it? You've been saying that over and over before! " North's growl.
Phoebe walked away while shaking her head, she followed Ziegler. Her lunatic friend was already flirting with the girls vendors in front of them. There are girls selling vegetables and fruits there.
The others followed as Kale and North shouting at the road. They put her in the middle. How's that the naughty Ziegler had flirted so early.
"Hey, Ziegler, continue that later. The queen was buying right now!" Dewey shouted and approached Ziegler.
He grabbed him by the collar and pulled him away from the girls. Girls looked at her with disgust. She wasn't doing nothing wrong. Phoebe doesn't forbid her friends to do what they want. They automatically stop when they see her or she needs their help. It's as if she has six older brothers. They were so protective that she didn't want to tell them about Sawyer first. She's sure that they'll mad at him.
"There are so many of you, just leave Ziegler here," said a girl who have a thick lipstick on her lips.
She was only selling but her face is was colorful. She doesn't know why they needs to be more like that? They won't be able to attract the buyer, they will probably be even more upset when they see that look.
Phoebe looked at Ziegler. "Zie, you can go with them if you want, we won't force you to come with us," she said but he just shook his head.
"No I don't want." He looked at the women. "Sorry babes but the Queen is our priority."
Shaking their head they continued walking. Phoebe could still hear their whispers and of course she just ignored it. For a while, their mothers rebuked them. The elders are kind to Phoebe, they respect her for her kindness but not their daughters.
"Cad!" she called his childhood friend who was busy looking around.
He turned to her, there was a concern immediately on his face that make her pout. "Why? Shenay was heavy? Do you want me to lift her for a while? Are you hungry? Are you tired? What do you want to eat?" He question ordersuccession that make them stopped walking from walking.
Their foreheads were furrowed and their faces seemed to laugh as they looked at Caldwell. His face was panic.
"I haven't said anything yet, Cad," she said without a smile.
"Speed! Hahaha you're too obvious, dude." North starting to teased him again.
