Chapter 4.Making friends(1)

Other than being labelled as a bad person who made a little girl cry on my first day by my own skill.

Everything else went smoothly.

I was given my second assignment not long after "The incident".

That punishment threat was no joke though.The emoticon felt directed at me.

The task itself was on the level of kindergarten.

Luckily,I finished the assignment without too much difficulty .

Sometimes....there were people other from the kids that were in the common area.

The aura they gave off was menacing so I stayed clear.

[S c a r y]

That initial group of kids that dragged me to the common room were happy to accept my friend request.

Though a portion of them didn't return after the first visit.

They must all be social butterflies.

Or maybe it's because I look like a kid myself.

The conversations we had lasted easily far beyond an hour each.

Though...I couldn't really call it a conversation if the other party was doing most of the talking

I could only nod or give lacklustre replies.

[T a l k M o r e]

I'm trying my best here.

I was able to get an explanation for my questions though.

The "Mama" that the little girl was talking about....was Florence.

"It's true,Florence has four children."

"She's a full fledged mother."

"Reneé is her youngest child."

[W h a t]

Other than the fact,Florence,who looked as youthful as a freshly graduated college student is a mother of four children with the youngest looking around 6 years old.

Her youngest daughter bloomed a ridiculous misunderstanding in her mind.

That I'm a kid,that came out of nowhere,who has stolen her position as her mothers second ever student that she's been aiming for.

That I replaced her.

Is it because she's young?

That she could shamelessly fight for her mothers love and attention,I felt a bit jealous.

Florence must undoubtedly be a good mother,but she must also be too busy to give the attention that Reneé is looking for.

Everybody else here understood that too.
