"And red riding hood lived happily ever after with her grandmother"

"Again again!"

"Now Rossa this is the fifth time today, go sleep or something. Stop bothering mommy!"

"But.. but"

"GO!"

Rossa walked out of the dinning room and ran outside.

"Why does mommy get so upset with me, I just love that story. Mommy is the one who told me that my name means red, I am just like red riding hood! I have to go save grannie from the wolf!!"

Rossa walked toward the path leading to her grannies house.

"I wonder if granny will read to me?" Rossa said running down the path

As Rossa ran she saw a field of flowers and decided to take a small detour

"How pretty, I'll pick some for grandma"

Rossa jumped into the flowers rolling around a bit, then stopping to pick some, she paused when she heard someone crying. She then walked toward the noise.

"Are you ok?"

The boy jumped his face soon turning a red hue. The boy looked nothing like Rossa, instead of Rossa's dirty torn clothes he wore a nice suit.

Instead of Rossa's brown tangled hair he had light blonde, almost white hair, it looked smooth with not a single knot in sight. His eyes were a light blue and puffy from all his crying. While Rossa's eyes were a light emerald green.

"Who are you?" The boy asked quickly wiping away his tears.

"WAIT!" Rossa screamed grabbing the boys hands.

"Wha-"

"You can't wipe that hard or you'll hurt your eyes, let me help"

Rossa grabbed the boys face and brought it close to hers, she then balled up the end of her sleeve and begun lightly patting around the boys eyes.

He was shorter than Rossa but he still seemed to be around Rossa's age.

"Wha- wah! What are you doing?!" The boy said as if he was upset but did not move away from Rossa.

Rossa finished wiping his eyes and helped the boy stand up.

"Why were you crying?"

The boy clicked his tongue and turned from Rossa.

"I don't speak to strangers" he said rolling his eyes.

"Oh... Well I'm Rossa whats your name?"

"My name is Valentino Leandro Narciso Romano the third" The boy said haughtily

"Dang I'm sorry we just met and I cut you off whats the rest of your name?" The boy said waiting.

Rossa saw that the boy must be real proud of his name as it seemed to make him lower his guard.

"Thats it though" Rossa said smiling

"What about your last name, or your middle names?"

"I don't have one, my mom said its something about our class I think" Rossa said confused

"So your from the lower class... I see" the boy said looking to the ground as if Rossa had said she was homeless.

"Welll since we have exchanged names now we aren't strangers, so why were you upset"
