My mom gave the name Callen to me.Maybe she thinks,that it's unique.Even though it's not.

When I was young,kids tease me about my name.They said that it was boyish.It does not suit for a girl like me.

And then Henry,my best friend,named me Cally.He said that it's much better than Callen.

I smiled at him while he carefully walked towards me.

I punched his right arm.

"You almost scared the hell out of me,Hairy."

"Stop calling me that!" he hissed

"Nah,I love Hairy than Henry.Or Hairy Henry is much better?" I laughed

"Stop it,Cally." he said in a serious tone

"Okay okay," I said between my laugh "By the way,why are you here?Are you following me?"

"I'm not following you.Or maybe I am.Your mom told me to guard you."

"Really?"

"Yeah.So I brought some leather bags here to store your food."

"I actually already have a knapsack.I won't be needing it."

"Just use it.Your mom told me to help you."

"Nah"

"You're so stubborn." he said while messing my hair with his huge hands

I sighed heavily and put my knife in the knife holder and climbed into the tree.

The mango tree is a bit high so I decided to climb it.

"Careful,Cally!" he shouted while I'm on the middle of the tree trunk.

He knows that I don't like to be treated as a kid or an elderly.I want to do things like leaders do.

"Okay,Grandpa!" I shouted while I am on the top of the tree.

I cut the nearest fruit and it falls down on the ground.

I stare at the view.Sometimes,sunrise are better than sunset.

"You're taking so long there!" he shouted distracting me from my thoughts

I sighed and slowly got down on the tree.

I peeled the mangoes with the knife and took a bite on it.The mango is almost ripe.So it taste sweet and sour at the same time.

"Want some?"

He shook his head and smiled.

Sometimes,I think that he has the perfect set of teeth and perfect plump lips.His smile still never gets old.I blushed at the thought.

"Why are your cheeks red?" he asked

"Uhh...I don't know." "S-stop asking me that kind of questions!" I stuttered

I felt that my cheeks are turning crimson.I tried to shift my gaze on him but he's staring at me.

"Cally,"

"Yes?"

"I was just wondering.What if one of us actually became a leader someday?"

I was surprised by his question.I already told him that there are secrets unfolds when you're a leader.Dad told me about that.
