Love Me Like A Girl

-Ruby it's 8 o'clock, you're gonna be late on your first day of school. Said a man from his kitchen.

A young girl running down the stairs, half-dressed hurried into the kitchen.

-sorry I overslept. She answered while taking a seat at the table.

-how many times do I have to tell you not to run down the stairs? Said the man frustrated.

-I'm not a little girl anymore, I'm 16 already, and I'm not going to fall or get injured that easily. She replied pouting.

-sure, a 16-year-old big girl who can't get out of bed at 7 o'clock to go to school. He countered.

-about that... I'm sorry I was very excited I could barely sleep last night. She replied embarrassed.

The man sat at her side and after placing a bowl of fruit, a glass of milk, and a glass of fresh orange juice, he gently caressed Ruby's hair and cheeks.

-you've grown so much that I almost feel that you'll be moving away sooner than later, please, grow a little slower my child. He said looking into her eyes with pride

-you know that it doesn't matter how much I grow, I'll always love you, Dad. She replied hugging her dad.

-I know, now hurry up you're gonna be late. the man exclaimed happily.

While Ruby and her father were eating breakfast the door opened.

-smells amazing Sora, I hope you haven't started without me. Exclaimed a man walking to the kitchen.

-Leo, we were starting, sit down I'll pour your coffee. Said Sora getting up from his chair.

-good morning baby, ready for your first day? Leo said, after kissing Ruby's forehead and sitting down at her side.

-yes I'm very excited. Replied the girl.

After finishing their breakfast, Leo changed his clothes while Sora cleaned the kitchen and Ruby was finishing to get ready.

-very well, go to the car Ruby I'll get there in a moment. Said Leo running upstairs.

-now I see where she got that from. Muttered Sora to himself while crossing his arms annoyed.

-sorry it's just that Ruby is very excited. Leo apologized while kissing Sora's lips as a goodbye.

-good luck at work. Sora replied with a smile.

-see you later Dad. Ruby announced opening the door.

-Ruby May Summer, did you forget something? Sora exclaimed annoyed.

-oh sorry. Said Ruby embarrassed, going back to kiss Sora on the cheek.

-have fun at school, my baby. The man replied with a smile.

Ruby ran to the car where her father was waiting for her, closing the door behind her.

-I hope it goes very well. Sora muttered concerned.

Once in front of the school, Leo parked the car and took Ruby in his arms.

-what happened, dad? Ruby asked confused.

-it's just that, you have grown a lot, it feels like yesterday when I used to carry you over my shoulders and now, it's your first day as a 2nd grade at high school. Leo exclaimed proudly.

-it's not the first time you drop me off at school, why are you two acting weird? Ruby asked confused.

-it's the first time since... well you have been studying at home for the last 6 years, it's hard to let you go again. He answered a bit embarrassed.
