" Your mom's getting married, eh?" Vee was staring at the invitation card with a slight smile on her face. " How interesting. It's funny how everyone's getting engaged these days."
I was putting away my provisions in the cupboard when I turned to her. " Yeah, it's funny enough for my mom to rule me out until now."
Vee eyed me. " Your mom was here with me a couple of hours before you came. She mentioned something about you being mad at her for getting engaged. Lucy, shouldn't you be happy? It's tough being without a father figure, you know."
" I'm used to it, MÔM," I replied her, settling on the floor before her. " I'm just not comfortable having a total stranger as a father. I have my fears, MÔM. You wouldn't understand."
Vee shrugged. " All the same, you can't deny the fact the wedding's still going to hold. You've got to accept your mother's decision. She's doing all these for you."
I rolled my eyes. " Gee, thanks a lot MÔM but I never asked her to. I'm happy just the way we are."
" She invited me," Vee waved the card in the air. " You'll be seeing more of me during the holidays, little Lucy."
I looked around the room, searching for a likely stuff to change the subject. Then my eyes landed on the paintings on the wall.
There was the painting of two school girls on the wall I've seen before. There was also a painting of a horse, a sunset, a big tree, some flowers, and more flowers.
Then there were the names on the wall.
The names on the wall attracted me the first day I stepped foot in Vee's Lodge. I hadn't paid those names much attention until now.
They were more like nicknames though, painted beautifully but their style was different from Vee's paintings.
These must've been painted by her wards.
Colette
Caro
Queen Bee
Dandelions
Scarlett
Kelly
Teddy bear
Seven names. All girls. I became interested in these names. I wondered who they were.
Collette's name was at the top. Ofcourse I know who Collette was but the rest of the girls were void to me. I had no idea who they were.
" You don't mind explaining who those girls on the wall are? I only know Collette but the others are—"
" Those are my wards," Vee explained, staring at each names on the wall. " Well, actually they're my favorite girls."
Favorite wards eh? The way she said it hinted at a favoritism that sounds deeper than the actual sense of what she was talking about.
" Colette, Caro, Queen Bee, Dandelions, Scarlett, Kelly and Teddy bear," Vee said, pointing at each names on the wall. " They all had history in QA. Right when I became a teacher, I trained these girls to become highly intelligent students. These seven girls all held student council president positions. Teddy bear is a nickname I gave to her anyway, she was my first ward and the very person to begin the chain of student president council amongst my wards. After her graduation, the chain continued. Everyone's eyes were thrown on my wards and since I had beautiful intelligent girls, it wasn't Soo hard getting them elected as president or vice president."
