Ella's Passion

Chapter one: let's celebrate

Ella's POV

Have you ever had one of those days when you are eager to get something done quickly without delay, after having a very exhausting day taking care of thirty over excited children, and you are meant to be resting. But you don't for the benefit of a child who desperately needs your help, and someone with the name Todd Lewis who happens to be his father decides not to show up for the meeting ?.

If you have then you would know how Mrs Ella Moore was feeling, but if you haven't then your in luck, and just pray it doesn't happen to you.

After school Ella had decided to stay and wait for Kevin's father, who had once again , not come for the meeting she had set to have with him, after the letter she had written politely, and had requested that he attend, and had given Kevin to give to his father.

'Requested'

Okay, she kind of ordered him to come and she may or may not have written some words that would not have passed on as polite.

But still, what could cause a concerned father not to attended this meeting.

" Kevin" she called the little boy who was the cause of this meeting.

When he looked up "yes, Mrs Ella"

"Are you sure you father said he would be here?"

"Yea, he said he would come, and that he might be a little late."

She scoffed, mentally a little, this was sure not ' a little'.

" okay".

" Kevin, don't you do your homework-" " ugh " he groaned "-while we wait for your dad."

Minutes passed, as she watched Kevin struggle to do his work, " Kevin " she called when she saw drops tears on his paper " hmm" "why are you crying?" Silence  " do you need help with your work" she meet more silence "Come let me  help you".

He gathered his papers reluctantly,with his head bowed and when he looked up she saw his tear ridden face, sight's like these, made her heart bleed

It reminded her of when..

'Stop it Ella, now's not the time for that'

He came to her table, and
She saw his paper it was wrinkled, with drops of tears on it, " what seems to be the problem "

" so when you add six to seventy, what do you get?"

He used his hands to count
" seventy six?"

" that's correct !"

" well done Kevin, that was the last one, why don't we celebrate, why don't we buy you a gift"

" a gift?" He asked excited

"Yes, a gift so what would it be?"

" can you buy me a burger,please?, I am very hungry"

" okay ". " But first we need to take permission from your dad... Um Kevin do you have your dad's number?"

" no"

This was going to be harder than she thought.

" um, do you know where he works?"

"Yes, his working on a mall, that he is building, it is very huge, and he takes me to see it every time he is working." He said proudly.

Not only was he uncaring he was also irresponsible about his son's well being too. And the boy, judging from his tone is very proud of his father.

"Can you take me to him"

" sure, Mrs Ella".
