CHILDHOOD SWEETHEARTS
“The fool can't talk!!!”. A little girl of about 10 years screamed and her little twin brother and two other little boys laughed.
“Seriously you can't talk??!”. The girl's twin brother grinned as he approached a boy cuddling himself on the sandy ground.
The boy being bullied was looking dusty and was almost about to cry.
“I told you brother he can't talk! Don't you remember mummy and daddy talking about how useless he was the other night? His parents always abandons him every Saturday in this playground and by Monday, they remember they have a son!”. The little girl mocked spitting at the face of the little boy and her brother and the other boys laughed.
“I remember! My mum also told me to avoid him! If we don't avoid him, we'll wake up tomorrow and find our voices gone also!”. One of the girl's brother's friends said and the little girl walked to the bullied boy who still sat on the ground and began pulling his ears, while her brother and the others stood with widened eyes.
“Audrey, what are you doing? Leave him alone!”. Her brother said, but she faced her brother with a smile.
“Don't deny it isn't fun Adrien! I just wanted to hear him call out for help just once! Huh?!”. Aubrey chuckled like a little witch as she faced the boy she was pulling his ears.
He was already crying bitterly but aside from his overflowing tears and wide opened mouth he couldn't produce a single sound to shout out for help.
“C,mon fella! You can do this! Cry out just once and I'll leave you alone!”. Aubrey snapped pulling his ears more as she even pierced her sharp little fingers into his flesh and blood began spilling out.
“Aubrey he's bleeding, let's just go home—
“Adrien, shut up and come help me here! I'm not stopping till I hear his voice!”. Aubrey snapped and instantly Adrien joined her in pulling the boy's ears and the two boys followed also, while their unfortunate little prey only cried more.
“It's really fun!! I should have joined you earlier!”. Adrien confessed laughing as he began adding slaps to the boy's face and Aubrey smiled and joined him, soon the other boys joined also.
“Is that my little hubby you two all are treating that way?!”. A little girl of about a few years younger screamed from behind and all of them turned to face her, but frowned later on.
The girl's whole body was covered in sand, her face and even white gown. Her black long hair once packed in two messy ponytails as she placed her little palms at both sides of her waist and began approaching them, an angry look stuck in her cute dirty face.
“Who-who are you?! Just go away okay?!”. Adrien stuttered but Aubrey scoffed, shaking head at him.
“She looks younger! Just scare her off!” Aubrey snapped at Adrien who nodded and so he began approaching the little girl while cracking his fists intimidatingly and the girl only scoffed as she approached him also, but right when Adrien was about punching her, when she walked past him and went to Aubrey then she pulled Aubrey’s hair tight and Aubrey screams began filling the air.
“Forget my hubby! But I heard you scattered my sand castle!! How dare you big bubu!! Do you take me for a joke?!! Even my father calls me his warrior cause I fight his battles for him!! But you dare scatter my castle so brutally?!! Do you want me to be poor in the future?!!”. The little girl said as she pulled Aubrey's hair tighter and Aubrey only screamed more since she was no match for the trouble before her.
“Adrien! Adrien help me!!”. Aubrey screamed and Adrien, who stood in shock at first, finally ran to her rescue together with his friends and after a huge struggle they finally pulled the girl off him.
All this time the bullied boy was watching from the ground where he sat.
“Are you insane!!! Adrien calls dad now! And then the police! I want this dirty witch behind bars!!”. Aubrey screamed as she nursed her almost pulled out hair, while the girl scoffed at her.
“Okay! I'll call my own father too!!!”. The girl shouted.
“Who's your father?! My father's the head of this whole district and very soon we'll move to the city, where he'll officially become a government official for our country!!”. Aubrey shouted.
“Well! My father is a---wait what's a gondent obical?”. The little girl asked in confusion as she scratched her hair with her hand while Adrien and his friends broke into a mocking laughter but Aubrey who didn't find it funny threw them a glare and they kept quiet.
Then Aubrey directed the glare at the girl who still stood looking confused.
“I bet your Father lives off my fathers taxes!!”. Aubrey shouted.
“That's a lie! My father is the richest man in this whole district!!”. The girl shouted.
“Then what does he do!?”. Aubrey sneered and the girl scoffed, flipping her ponytail.
“Well he earns more than your gondent father! He clears dogs poop at the vetin--vernary clinic and gets paid three dollars per day!”. The girl shouted proudly not minding her wrong pronunciation, and Aubrey together with the boys broke into another round of laughter.
“Let's leave Aubrey. It's getting late and she's definitely still in pre-school not knowing how much three dollars is”. Adrien shook head as he took his sister's hand and began leaving with her and his friends, while the little girl laughed crazily at their exit.
“Fools! I told them the amount my dad earns and they left in fright! They haven't seen such money in their whole life—
The little girl was interrupted by the stone the bullied boy threw in her direction and she faced him with a frown, then she walked to him and saw that he wrote something for her to read on the ground.
‘Three dollars is a very small amount for a family man”
The boy wrote but after looking at what he wrote the girl frowned more and hit his head hard with her hand.
“Are you mocking me?! You know I can't read yet! I'm just seven!”. She screamed and the boy grinned surprisingly and wrote again on the ground.
‘I learnt how to read at the age of 3’
The boy wrote again and this time the girl scattered what he wrote with her leg and kicked his leg hard but the boy only grinned inwardly which got her more mad.
“You cry when they hit you, but laugh when I hit you?!! You know what?! I don't want to see you again!!”. The girl screamed and began walking away, but the boy stood up and went after her pulling her ponytails he took to his heels and the girl frowned before chasing after him.
