( The next morning , at breakfast )
Sister Anne : Hope , your eyes are swollen did you had a nightmare again last night ?
Hope : ( with her mouth full ) mmm
Sister Anne : was it the same one ?
Hope : ( swallows ) yes ....umm but a bit changed this time
Sister Anne : how ?
Hope : I'll tell you later , I am going to the garden right now
Sister Anne : Oh okay , be careful
( Hope goes to garden and sits on the stairs after some times she hears someone's footsteps slowly coming towards her )
Hope : Adam ?
Ben : Tch* you guys just met yesterday and you are already close friends ? Weird !
Hope : Ben ! What do you want ?
Ben : listen I don't like you okay , but still I would tell you that you should stay away from that so called Adam
Hope : why ?
Ben : It's Beacuse he - ( Suddenly someone puts their hand on Ben's shoulder )
Adam : I what ?
Ben : Get your hand off of me ! I don't wanna get involved with someone like you and yeah Hope ! do whatever you like I don't care !
( goes away in anger )
Adam : Was he always like that ?
Hope : No , when I newly came to this orphanage he and I were good friends , we used to play all the time and talk about all sorts of things but then other kids started making fun of him for having a blind friend and .... ( sighs ) ever since that day he started teasing me and treating me as an insult
Adam : O , well that's a stupid reason to become a bully to be honest
Hope : Anyways , what was he even talking about ?
Adam : Ummm, I uh , I don't know ( scratches his head )
Hope : Oh I see
Hope : ( should I tell him I saw him in my dream ? No , no that would sound weird, I shouldn't )
Adam : Hey , why are your eyes swollen did you cry ?
Hope : oh my eyes ? Yeah I had a bad dream ...always do actually
Adam : Really ? Then you shouldn't sleep alone , sleep with someone so you don't get scared
Hope : That ...that doesn't help I've tried it , the dream . It's actually more painful than scary, anyways forget it
Adam : Okay let's talk about it when you feel comfortable...umm Hope!
Hope : yeah ?
Adam : I am curious about what do you think I look like ?
Hope : do you want a description of a blind girls imagination ( smiles )
Adam : I mean kind of, I wanna know how you think I look like in your mind
Hope : You are tall , umm not too skinny not to fat and ...handsome , I, I mean that's what sister Anne told me yesterday so that's why I guessed it !!
Adam : ( laughs while covering his mouth with his fist ) Don't give me so much explanations it's okay and yeah I am tall though
( Hope smiles and faces upwards towards the sky )
Hope : Adam you know, there are many things I wanted to see and the sky is one of them ..
Adam : Hope, do you know how you look like yourself ?
Hope : ( turns down )... I , I never tried to find that out
Adam : I will.. , I will tell you about everything and explain everything about how that thing looks like !
Hope : ( stunned ) you mean in other words you want to be my sight ?
Adam : exactly I'll make you feel like everyone else does , I don't want you to be sad over this.
Hope : ( smiles with tears in her eyes ) that's too much to ask for I don't wanna trouble you
Adam : No Hope ! I will be happy to do this for you
Hope : Then...tell me how I look like
Adam : You are the most prettiest girl I've ever seen with big eyes , a small nose , lips pink as roses , long blonde hair , a fair complexion and you are tiny
Hope : ( giggles while crying ) what do you mean tiny am I that short ?
