"are you ready to talk now Mr.?"
" Why should I talk to you?" The young Eric ask
"Because of this." She said pointing at her bruises knee
" If you don't talk to me I will tell miss Lydia you did this to me"
"But I don't like talking to ugly girls"
"Well, am not all that ugly"
"Yeah but you are not beautiful either
And please stop pestering me
I don't have time for your nonsense." Little Eric said
The girl says nothing,she place her hand on her chest and scream
Eric panic and reach out to her with concern and ask.
"What's wrong with you?" He ask
" Ahh it hurt
It hurts a lot."
" Hey, were are you hurt
Just clam down breath in and out
Hop on my back I will take you to the clinic
Tells me were it hurt." Eric was really worried
"It hurts here." She said as she took Eric chubby hand and place it on her chest and smile at him.
" Don't tell me you are pretending." Eric sound irritating
" Of course not,am was really hurts by your Comments earlier you know."she said pouting her lip and looking pitiful
Seeing the sad expression on her face Eric soften a little.
"Are you always this straight?
Forget that I even ask you that. Let's talk about the reason am here."the young Tatiana said
Tatiana is always a cheerful girl and always believed that they is no problem that can't be solved.
The reason she's here today is to know why the little boy have the expression on his face that says that he carried a heavy burden that can't be solved.
"So tell me ugly girl why are you here?"
"First am not ugly, am not just that beautiful okay.
And second you are not the one doing the asking
I'll be doing the asking while you will be answering." Little Tatiana said
"First, what's your name?
Second, why are you always alone?
Third, why do you end up in the orphanage what about your parents?
You know in here we share each other burden you can talk to us.
Talk to me I may be of help." Little Tatiana ask
With so many things running through her head. She feels like this little boy will make him go crazy soon
She have never met someone as handsome and stubborn as this little boy here, who is always grumpy and prefer to be lonely than having fun with the other kids and wait for their parents to find them one day and take them away from this orphanage.
Tatiana always believed that her parents will come looking for her one day.
And that's why she don't agree to be adopted. Hoping and believing that one day she will be reunited with her family and not just her but everyone that their parents are still out there.
"And what makes you think that I will answer those stupid question of yours." Little Eric arrogantly asked
" Is like you still don't know that you are at the disadvantage here.
It either you answer my questions or I report you to miss Lydia." Little Tatiana threaten him
"You no this is blackmailing?" Little Eric ask
" You can think what ever you want I don't care just answer the dem questions."
"Fine, you ask so many questions were do you expect me to start."
" That's why I list the question you dummy
Start with the first one.
What's your name?" Little Tatiana ask again
" Am not a dumb I always come first in my class."little Eric said a little annoyed
This little ugly girl have the guts to call her dumb
Did she know that everyone in their school call him genius
He call spell more than two thousand words when he was still in kindergarten.
One of the things Eric hate most is someone looking down on him .
"Whatever, just answer my questions Mr. Genius."
-is this girl making fun of me
By the way let me answer her questions so that she will not bother me again-
He hate annoying people, they irritated him.
" My name is Eric , Eric Samuel."
"Oh, what a nice name for a grumpy boy." Tatiana murmured even loud enough for Eric to hear
" What do you just said?" Eric ask with an intimating aura
Tatiana also feel the suffocating atmosphere and can't believe the aura emitting from this little boy.
She can't help but shudder
Seeing that Tatiana was afraid he smile because this is what he want
He want Tatiana to be frighten and run away
"Run before I eat you alive" young Eric said thinking that he has achieve his goals but he was mistaken because Tatiana muster her courage and smile sweetly at him and said.
"You almost got me there
But you can't scare me away because of that
Am not a little pampered princess I was in the street for almost a year before I came to the orphanage
I have seen a lot in the street so don't think too highly of your aura because am not afraid."
" But I admit that I was a little startled at first because I don't expect such a strong aura from a little boy that's just a little older than me
So don't overestimate yourself little boy."
Tatiana pretend like she didn't notice Eric angry face and said" but I think the name doesn't suit you"
"Why? " little Eric ask
" Because that's suppose to be given to cute boy."
" Are you saying am not cute?"
" You are not cute
You are handsome but too grumpy for a boy of your age so lessen up a bit grandpa."
Little Eric was so angry this time.
"Did they send you to annoyed me?"
" Why do you care
I told you I will do the questioning while you answer
Don't tell me you have a very short memory and you have already forgotten what I said earlier."
-since he think he is so high and mighty I'll make him regret even been a jerk- Tatiana thought on her mind
And she success because Eric was so Furious
Thinking that Tatiana will be the death of him.
"I will just call you Ricky boy." Little Tatiana said
