I may or may not be using my friends names as the children. I'm making their appearances different, but their genders are the same. The backgrounds don't have to do with my friends, I just made them up. The personalities don't match with the real people. Except Luna and Katts KPOP and BTS obsession. That's true.
Jaleena: //
Luna: LunaFoxx
Katt: RPKawaiiChan_
Nami: //
Nano: professor_nano
Nico: GlazyPanda
Addy: My little sis //9yr old
-Jessalyn
I tuck a strand of my blonde hair behind my ear. "One plus one equals..?" I scan the room. "Addy!" I pick the little brunette with pink glasses. "One plus one equals twee!" She jumps up and down, excited. I chuckle at her adorableness. "Not quite. Can someone help little Miss Addy here?" I ask. A small hand slowly goes up in the air. Awe!
I know I can't exactly have favorites, but I can't help it. Nami is my favorite. "It equals two.." Nami says quietly. Nami is a shy little girl. She has brown hair that she often uses as a curtain to hide her face, and always carries a purple stuffed bunny. She is a little more opened up to me though. "Good job, sweetie!" I praise softly.
Addy smiles at Nami, and Nami gives me a small shy smile, her baby blue eyes peeking out barely. "Okay so,-" I get cut off by a voice. "Miss Bryant?" A little boy tugs at my skinny jeans. "Yes Nico?" I crouch down. "Jaleena's doing it again.." He frowns. "Can you lead me to her?" I ask, giving him my hand. He wraps his small fingers and brushes his blonde strands of hair out of his eyes, and pushing it back onto his forehead.
Nico leads me to the small room that's connected to the classroom. We enter the play room, I see Katt hugging Jaleena; which are both in the corner of the room, Jaleena's sobs bounced off the walls. Nico let's go of my hand as I walk over to them. I crouch down, and Jaleenas looking at my black flats. "Hey." I say softly. "Katt, Nico you guys can go, wait in the classroom." I inform them, and they turn around; and leave the room.
"Lee, honey is it about your parents again?" I question, wrapping my arms around her as I sit down. Jaleena has been abandoned by her parents, and currently living with Bessi. She nods. I've been paying for her school supplies and such. I was gonna let her stay at my place, but Bessi wanted to offer, knowing my stress.
Jaleena brushes a piece of her fire-y red hair out of her face. "It's gonna be okay. Your gonna be okay." I soothe, rubbing her small back. Jaleena is a sensitive girl, and occasionally does this. "Let's go hun. They could be tearing up the classroom." I exclaim playfully. She giggles, and I get up. Offering her my hand, she takes it and smiles.
"Thank y-you." She stumbles over her words. "No problem." I smile sweetly, and open the door. I see Luna standing on my teachers class, while the other children are hearing her ramble on, as they sat cris-cross on the rainbow circular carpet. "..And Yoongi. Yeah! Yoongi is so hot!" She waves her hands around, in her adorable accent.
"Aren't you a little young to be saying that?" I question playfully. Luna's face goes red. She looks around, trying to find a way off the desk. She smiles sheepishly at me, and I know what she needs. I shake my head as I smile, and walk towards her. She opens her arms, and i pick her up, then place her on the ground.
"We aren't young!" Katt exclaims, with a red face. "Alright alright." I put my hands up in a surrender motion. "You all have five seconds." I grin. They all scream and start running. I chase the first one I see: Nano. I run and pick him up in the air as I stop. He giggles. "Your out, sweetheart." I smile. "Addy's over thee!" He blushes. "Shh. Don't tell me!" I tickle him and go to where Addy is.
Her back was to me in her hiding spot so, I grabbed her sides and pulled her out, fast. She screamed. I started tickling her. "Gotcha!" I chuckle. "Miss Jessawyn, that wasn't nice!" She pouts. Awe. "I'm sorry." I smile and hug her. "Nano told me where you were. Go get him, girl!" I giggle and she blushes. She had a crush on him for a while.
She stumbles as she runs over to Nano. I see her tackle him, and decide that he'll be fine. I quietly walk into the playroom. I see the familiar black hair of Luna. Stifling my giggle that wants to escape, I sneak up behind her like I did for Addy. She screams and starts flailing her arms and kicking. I chuckle, and start tickling her sides.
When she starts giggling, I ask: "Do you know where Nami, Katt, Nico, or Jaleena is?" I know it's typically cheating, but it's a game! Katt and Nico are really good hiders. "Yesss! Over therwy." She points to the pit filled with plastic balls, and I see a head peeking out. Quickly it ducks back underneath. Katt. I quietly walk over there, and pick up something hard. I giggle softly, and pull it up to see I was holding Katt's side.
She was pouting and her brows were furrowed. "Found ya, sweetie." I tickle her, and she starts laughing maniacally. "Lee is over there!" She points to the corner in the room. Katt doesn't stumble over any words cause she's the oldest.
//Not true.
Hiding in the corner, I see a head pop up. "Okay." I walk over there, and start tickling whatever I can find. Giggles erupted from the pile of stuffed animals. "Don't tell me where Nami and Nico are." I beg. These kiddos aren't good at keeping secrets. "Duh you mean Nami and Jaleena?" A head pops out. I gasp. "Nico!" I turn around and Katt shrugged.
"I don't sell out my friends." She grins. She's the only one who doesn't mess up words. She's 6. The youngest is Nami who just turned 5. Then it's Jaleena. Luna. Addy. Nico. Nano. Then Katt. I walk over to her and high five her. Her grin grows.
