Day 3 of poverty in Wall Rose.

The three children were walking around the square taking in their surroundings. Reiner was walking ahead with Annie, leaving Berthold walking behind them. The boy kept looking at Annie; his childhood crush since he learned what a 'crush' was. He loved her blond hair. Her icy blue eyes reminded him of the winter sky.

She turned to face him, but with a cold glare etched in her face. Berthold quickly looked away, sweating nervously. She turned back to Reiner and Berthold started pulling at his collar.

...

The three got to the food stands mid-morning. Reiner pointed to the officers running the booth. "I'll get us the food today," he told them, "and you two just stay here."

Annie and Berthold nodded and Reiner walked off. Not even ten seconds later, Annie muttered something about "walking around" and took off without him. Taking less than a second to think, he sped off after her.

He followed her from a distance. She was walking towards some older stone buildings not far from the booths. Annie turned the corner and froze in her tracks. Berthold was about to bump into her when he stopped and hid behind the wall. He looked at the girl in front of him, then realized what she was looking at in front of her.

There was a girl maybe a year or two younger than them standing a few metres away, and her father smiling kindly while patting her head. Berthold glanced back at Annie to see her with her head dipping downwards. She then clenched her fists and took a shaky breath. The taller boy saw a tear fall from her cheek. Annie hastily used her sleeve to wipe the tears away from her broken eyes.

He heard someone running behind him. He turned to see Reiner holding three loafs of bread. "Hey! Didn't I tell you guys to wait there?" Neither of the two in question answered. Reiner sighed. "Whatever."

Annie turned around and walked to Reiner, taking a load of bread. Reiner had a 'geez whats on her problem' look on his face. He scratched the back of his head.

But Berthold knew. As he saw Annie's retreating figure he thought, why does she always keep up her façade? Why can't she open up?
