| Chapter Ten | Wild Tansy
Mia 4, Connor 6
The first day of elementary school sucked.
He hated everything about it, the toothless smile and running noses of his classmates, the overly nice teachers, and the loud girls that even though were older than his favorite Little Monster, were definitely more immature.
He even hated the beige walls of his classroom and was ready to get home after the introductions, though he knew no one other than Francisca, the housekeeper, would be there.
He knew that no one was waiting for him at home.
When the day was finally over, he practically ran to the yellow bus that was going to take him home. A guy with almost white hair, freckles, and a big smile attempted to sit next to him and start a conversation, but the glare on his face made it clear - yeah, no one was going to sit next to him.
Before the bus could even come to a stop in front of his house, he noticed her through the window - the Little Monster.
She was in their front garden, kneeling on the ground with a box of harmless gardening tools next to her. She was planting flowers (again), while her Mom sat down on the stairs leading to their front door, sketching and looking after her.
He didn't even utter a small goodbye for his aide before he was making his way to her with rushed steps.
With every step he was taking toward her, he could feel the tension in his forehead resolve and a sense of calmness replace the unease he'd been feeling all day.
He never understood why she was the only person who could bring him peace.
It wasn't like he was violent or anything, he was just always angry, maybe mostly indifferent toward everyone and anything, and only with her, he could find tranquility.
Nodding a silent hello to Mrs. Sophie, he stepped closer to the Little Monster before her mom could say anything and ruin his surprise.
He kneeled down next to her and watched silently as her hand moved the soil around, with a small smile on her face. It was a mystery to him why she couldn't just use a pair of gloves. She hated those as if her life depended on it.
"Looks good," he said, startling her slightly, but when her eyes landed on him, she gave him her biggest smile.
He felt time stop.
