Hope's orphanage
Morning
11:28am
Sandra's point of view
I laughed happily as Joanna kept on talking about some random stuff and I couldn't help but to laugh at intervals.
Well,I met her this morning at the dining room eating and I got to know that her name is Joanna, I liked her immediately because she seems to love talking alot and demonstrating with her hands.
We had just came back from the school in the orphanage and I won't lie the lesson was really interesting,Unlike the ones in brave success high school.
It didn't take long because the teacher had said that he had an emergency at home and he would continue the lesson tomorrow.
I had met with the reverent sister Maria and I thank God that she didn't notice any difference.
We had just greeted and that was all,The orphanage I'd sure real lively because of the kids in here.
Currently we're in my room,on my bed,talking as if I've known each other for years.
"You wouldn't believe it..... I was so mad at him,he sure is a big baby"She said laughing, showing off her dimples and I had too join her in laughing.If on lunch she knows how cute she is.
"He is???? "I asked amused.
Well,She is telling me about her encounter with a boy in this orphanage Felix,she's telling me that the boy has a crush on her and I think she also do because she's been blushing while talking about him.
And you wouldn't believe that she's just 8 years old,
"Yes he is,But....seriously big sis I was so embarrassed,how could he say that in front of the whole kids"She said playing with her hands.
I've noticed that all the kids in the orphanage,that are much younger than me all call me big sis.And believe me I love it when they do,Atleast they're not like some annoying Leo who won't stop teasing me about everything.
Well, she told me that the boy had confessed his feelings for her in front of the whole class the day before yesterday and she was so embarrassed.
"He sure do like you alot"I said with a chuckle.
"Yes he do.Urrrm....big sis....there's something I've been wanting to ask you,since like 30 minutes ago"She said quite nervous,staring keenly at me.
"Yeah, what's it??? "I asked wondering why she became seriously all of a sudden.
"You hate it when anyone enters your room or even sit on your bed,but you told me to come over to your room today,I won't deny I'm really surprised"She said cutely and I couldn't help but to smile.
"Well.....lets say I've been lonely and I want to change,so....you're free to come over to my room whenever you're bored or you need someone to talk to"I said and she giggled immediately.
"Thanks so much big sis,You don't know how I've been dying to come into your room and talk to you"She said with a smile making me to admire her dimples again.
"oh and I also noticed that you smile alot today"She said.
"I do???, That's great then it's good to smile always"I said hoping I was sounding convincing.
"Would you mind coming over later in the day so that we can play basketball??"She asked.
" Basketball,But I don't know how to"I said before I could stop myself.I forgot that I'm trying to act like Alicia.
"You don't know how to play basketball??? "She asked and burst into laughter but stopped immediately she saw that I was laughing along.
"Oh....you don't want to play with us??? "She said with a sad face making me feel bad.
"No Joanna....don't say that"I said holding her hand.
"Yes you don't want to play with me ,How can you say that you can't play basketball???,You're literally the best basketball player in the orphanage .You even taught Molly and some kids how to throw a ball into the net last week.Is it because I'm not molly???"She said with a sniff and burst into tears.
"No JoJo that's nothing what I meant"I said calling her her pet name but she didn't stop crying.
"It's a prank okay??,Come on you know I'm very good at basketball game "I said and burst into a fake laugh.
"I know it is, I'm just crying because I thought you didn't want to play basketball with me"she said with a sniff cleaning up her tears.
"Come on stop crying,I'll play with you later okay??? "I said helping her to clean her tears.
"Come on that's enough,okay???,Smile for me"I said tickling her on her stomach and she immediately started laughing hard.
"That's it... You look so pretty when you smile"I said and hugged her.
I really love kids alot and seeing them cry,really hurts me. Actually that is one of the thing why I was really happy to come here.
"Thank you big sis, I'll go tell them that you agreed to play with us"she said happily and picked up her teddy bear running out of the room.
Immediately she left the room I stood up and closed the door sitting down on the bed with a loud thud.
What are my going to do now??, I've never held a ball in my hands, talk lest of playing basketball,I thought and bit my tongue.
I should better call Alicia and find a way to get out of this situation,I thought and brought out my phone.
I dialed her number and she picked up at the first ring,
"Hey Alicia"I called cheerfully.
"Hi Sandra, What's up?? " She asked and I could hear some shuffling sound.
"I'm cool,What are you doing?? "I asked.
"Well, I'm on my way to class because break is over"I said.
"Oh okay???, Urrm....I think I'm in deep trouble"I said bitting my lips.
"Trouble???, Did anyone fine our that you're not me??? "She asked in a rush.
"No.. ...that's not it,Well,one of the kids had asked me to join them later to play basketball,I wanted to say no but I agreed because she said you're really good at basketball"I said.
"Now the problem is..... I've never held a ball in my hands or even played with one. How am or going to get out of This??? "I asked perplexed.
I was waiting for an answers when I heard her burst into laughter.
"Wait... you've never played basketball before??? "She asked.
"Yes, I've never played it before,what am I going to do now??? "I asked.
"Well, just tell them you have a headache late on or try to play with them"She said with a chuckle.
"I prefer telling them that I have an headache, I'll just go with that one "I said.
"How it your day in school going?? "I asked.
"Well.... One of your classmates almost ruined it, but its going Great though"She said with a hiss.
"Oh no, Is it the HHH girls?? "I asked worriedly.
"Nope....i think they're not in school today,I hard time girls say it.It's one Xavier Winthrop"She said and I kept quiet for life 5 seconds,Please don't tell me it's what it thinking.
"Wait.... Wait,Which Xavier Winthrop are you talking about"I asked with a stutter.
"The tall handsome dude in your class"she said and I gasped immediately.
"What did you do to him?? "I added panickly .
"Well, he made me mad,bur don't worry I've taken care of him "she said and I swear I felt sweat coming out of my body.
"You.... You.... You took care of him??"I asked with a stutter.
"Yes, I gave himself a kick on his d*ck"She said proudly and I felt like fainting immediately I heard that.
Ever since I've been in that school I've never talked to him or even stare directly at him.Whenever my eyes and his meet....I immediately turn my face away.And now Alicia has done the worst.
"What have you done??",I asked after some seconds of silence.
"Done???,He was being a jerk so I thought him a lesson"She said again.
"Oh...Urrm Sandra I'll call you back I think something is going on" she said immediately cutting me off, And I started hearing noises of people.
"Urrm okay bye"I said and hung up wondering what is happening over there.
