Kiki turned to Natasha as soon as Mr. Kim left the class room. Kiki looked like a lolita. She was cutely beautiful, but still had that little touch of innocence to her. One would be tempted to do things to her along with wanting to protect her. Kiki could be the epitome of 'An innocent temptress'.
"Natasha, Natasha" "Yes, Kiki?" "What is your favorite color?" "I don't have any specific preference Kiki. Any color is fine as long as it's not glaringly gaudy or too much eye catching."
Natasha was right. She actually did not have any favorite color. She was fine as long as the color wasn't hideous. Natasha mainly didn't have any color she liked because all her dresses were either gifts from her relatives or bought by her mother with her mothers' choice. Natasha never had any say in anything.
"What is your favorite song?" "I actually don't listen to many songs. So I don't know which is good enough to be a favorite". "Then your favorite movie?" "I actually didn't have much time to watch movies."
Now Kiki was gaping at Natasha. From the looks of it, Kiki was really shocked with Natashas answers. Maybe she didn't expect Natasha to be so bland. Maybe she thought that Natasha had something she liked. Or maybe she was looking for something common between them.
Kiki asked "Then what did you do with your friends in city T? Did you guys go shopping? Or.. or did you guys gossip about boys? Read fashion and lifestyle magazines? What did you do?" Now Natasha sat up straight. She lowered her head a little and said "I did not have any friends there". "Did not have friends? What do you mean?" "I was not allowed to have friends. Never got the time as well."
Now Kiki looked confused. Maybe she couldn't understand the concept of not having friends or not being allowed to have friends.
"Not allowed to have friends? Not allowed to have friends? Who needs permission to have friends?" "My parents never gave me permission to have friends."
Now Kiki was stunned. Standing there agape while looking at Natasha.
Kiki has always thought that her parents were weird. But it looks like the world is full of weird people. Because who doesn't allow their child o have friends?
"Does your sister have friends?" "She does". "Then why would they not allow you to have friends? Is there a problem with you having friends?" " I don't know".
Natasha never thought about that matter. She always thought that since her parents do not permit her then she doesn't need to have any friends.
"Okay, fine. When is your birthday?" "It was last month". "Last month? You are a spring baby?" Natasha nodded. "Well hello spring baby I'm a winter baby. My birthday was 3 months ago. Now that it's few days before summer vacation. It looks like I need to get you some friends. Along with me of course. So that we can hangout some times." Natasha didn't say anything. At that moment a lady entered the room.
"Morning class". "Morning Mrs. G". "That is Mrs. Gomes but we call her Mrs. G. She is a really cool teacher. She is ranked on the top 5 favorite teacher of our list" Kiki whispered to Natasha. "I heard that you have a new girl. Where is she?" "She is here Mrs. G" said Kiki.
Natasha stood up. "Hello there. You must be Natasha right? Nice to meet you". "Nice to meet you too Mrs. Gomes". "Oh deary, call me Mrs. G just like the others do. No need to call me Mrs. Gomes. Hearing Mrs. Gomes makes me feel like a nun. But wow, just look at you gurl. You are a beauty."
Natasha blushed shyly. She was never called a beauty. She was always told that her cousin sister, Jenna was beautiful. Jenna was not as tall as Natasha. But she had a slim figure. With her small heart shaped face and huge eyes, she was the apple of the eye of Natashas whole family. She was a little short. Maybe 5 feet, barely. But her fair skin and long straight blond hair did make her look like a petite beauty.
This was the first time Natasha was called beautiful. She wasn't sure how to react to that compliment. She just shook her head indicating that she was not that beautiful as Mrs. G made her to be.
"Oh girl now don't go all shy on us. All of us can see your beauty. Don't you boys?" Natasha jerked her head up and scanned the face of the boys present in class. Then she dropped her head again. The boys were looking straight at her.
Natasha was not less beautiful than Jenna. Natasha may not be fair skinned but her lightly tanned skin was shiny like gold. Her fox like eyes were seductive and dreamy. Her 5 feet 3 inches height that she got from her moms' genes gave her long legs. Her wavy black hair which reached till her waist was a plus point.
"She could be a model if she want. Don't you think so Mrs. G?" a girl from the front row spoke up. "That she could" said Mrs. G.
