"What are you doing here?" Elijah looked at the little boy with a baseball cap, his tone revealing a hint of impatience.
This is a parking lot, and if a driver doesn't see him while backing up, they might hit him.
The vice principal immediately explained, "Mr. Bourne, this child joined the school last week. He doesn't like talking to strangers."
Everyone who comes to this school, whether kids or adults, has mental and physical troubles.
Elijah thought about how this child had problems like Makayla, and his mood softened.
Ian put his notebook in his backpack, picked it up with one hand, and got up all cool-like.
As he walked past Elijah, he stepped hard on Elijah's spotless leather shoes.
Elijah was speechless.
Did this kid do it on purpose?
"Mr. Bourne, I'm so sorry! The child must not have done it on purpose." The vice principal squatted down and wiped Elijah's shoes with a tissue.
Ian turned his head, a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Elijah glared at him but could only see the lower half of his face.
Because the upper half was covered by the brim of his hat.
That stomp was intentional.
Whatever! All the kids at this school have some issues!
He didn't need to get angry with a troubled child.
...
At 5 pm In Silverleaf Ridge.
Albina picked up Rita from kindergarten.
She had told Rita in advance that a special guest at home.
So Rita was mentally prepared.
But when she got home, she was still shocked.
What a beautiful auntie!
