"Can you see that mountain over there,? when we grow up, we will build our palace there and you will be the queen of our kingdom, So promise me, you will never marry another man except me."
"I'll Promise! she said With a lovely face staring at me."
We're both sitting on the grass,
"Okay, give me your little finger, Let's make a pinky promise, and let's seal it." He suggested. Showing his little finger and Lily put also her finger closed to his finger,
"Okay, she excitedly uttered And we intertwined our small finger and sealed it with our thumb."
"Alex, Let's go. I heard the voice of my mother calling my name."
So I immediately get up, my mother was calling me I need to go,
"bye. Lily."
"Bye. Alex."
As soon as he bid farewell to Lily he runs away towards his mother, waiting at him near on the gate, My mother serves as a maid to Lily's family, she comes here every morning to do the housework, and then we both going home before dark.
Our place was only five minutes walk away from there house.
my mother leased this house since we got into this place. The truth is, we are not really from this place. I was six years old when we got to this place.
My mother said we would follow my father here, according to my mother she already gave birth to me when they got a call from my father's family.
He needs to go back home because his mother was in the hospital in a critical condition. My parents dream after I was born is that we will go home with him to introduce me and my mother to his family.
But because of that call, we could not go with him so he went here first. because at that time, my mother is still weak and I am still small and newborn.
So my father promised he will be back, and we will be taken to there a place to introduced to his family and to live here. since then his pledge has not been fulfilled.

with chocolate croissants in their hands.
After I purchase my snack I'm almost to arrive and join them. but I saw her two classmates sitting in the vacant seat so I don't have any option. I barely sat at the table next to them.
I am senior to Lily I am in grade six and she is in grade four.
when I have my first bite of chicken sandwich Lily glanced over me and she smiled.
