Ok, I was good mood and translated the next one faster, I hope you like it, have a nice night. Please comment. I want to thank all the positive feedback I recieved, much apreciated.
It was a beautiful afternoon in Royal Woods, the white haired boy had just finished his work mowing the lawn of one of his employers.
-Ok! And Ready! It wasn't so difficult- The boy said, wiping the sweat from his brow, a second later, the lady of the house came out.
"Wow Brandon, I can't believe you've already finished, the garden looks very good.
"What can I say, I have a lot of practice
"I believe you, here; I brought this for you
The lady offered the boy a glass of lemonade, he took it thankfully; he never rejected an act of good faith from his employers, giving it a sip, he immediately replied:
-This delicious Miss Mary, thank you
"It was nothing boy, you work cheap and don't complain as other children would, I'd really like my son to have that conviction to the work that you have
"I am flattered Miss Mary, but you give me too much credit, it's not really that impresive. There was a great person who taught me the value of work
-But to have started at such a young age, it is summer Brandon! You should be playing, swimming in the comunity pool, exploring the forest, go camping as my son is doing right now. . . being a child!
"Hehehehe, even if you say that, I think that for someone in my position, such things are not at my reach now, but don't worry, I like what I do, I like to work because I know that everything will be worth it some day when I get to my goal
-I understand but. . . At least you have fun sometimes right?-
-You can trust me when I say I have had moments of fun in my stay here in Royal Woods, no question about that- said the boy while recalling his meeting with Chandler and his friends.
"I'm glad to hear that, well; I won't entertain you anymore, here's your pay and a bit extra for finishing so quickly
-There is no need to do that miss, with. . .
I insist dear, you say you want to save enough money to reach your goal didn't you? Don't be shy to reject the extra rewards that life can give you
The boy smiled at that and nodded his head, he took the money and said goodbye to his employer.
-And remember to be back in a couple of weeks ago, my oficial mowing boy!
"Noted! Thank you Miss!- Said the boy who immediately proceeded to walk to the next marked house for that day.
"Well, I must admit that the tip is very good, I may be able to eat a delicious hamburger one of these days- He said to himself as he was counting his earning of that day so far. he was quite satisfied, it was no secret that some days were more successful than others, and this day was proving to be very good, when he was crossing the corner to his next destination, he noticed a girl of at least 4 years old was lying on the sidewalk, beside him, another young girl maybe 14 or 15 years old.
"Oh! Are you hurt Rosemary?
-Sniff. . .Sniff. . .If I hurt so much sister!
"Don't worry, your older sister is here for you, we are going to heal this wound and then go to eat an ice cream, what you say?"
"It's fine. . . Thank you sister!-
A second later, the older sister took the child in her arms and carried her inside a house nearby, the boy saw them disappear inside that house, a small memory flooded his mind.
…
-You'll see Brandon! One day you and I will be going to this place! And everything will be perfect! Just as we have dreamed of!-
"Yes, sister! I can't wait to be bigger and then help you to raise the funds to be able to go faster!-
-Brandon! I already told you that it is not necessary, I never would force my little brother to work, you only need to focus in taking care of your health, not being caught and eat your vegetables
-Yes Sister! And don't worry! I want to work, let me help you a bit, so you'll be able to sleep more and take better care of your health
-. . . . Ohhhh, you're so cute! I Definitely will never give you away! No matter how much Sister Margaret asks me to! Now go to sleep, tomorrow we will begin to learn the vowels-
"Of Course Sister. . . I love you
"I love you more, my little snow hair
…
Brandon immediately shooked his head, a small smile was formed on his face.
-You'll see that everything that you fought will be worth it, I will definitely see that place, the place you wanted for both of us to start our new lives.
Brandon continued walking, the smile was still present but also he had a look of absolute conviction:
-I'll live your dream for the two of us! And absolutely nothing will stand in my way
…
After mowing the lawn of three more houses, the small white-haired boy was a little exhausted, before returning to the Orphanage, he decided to take a small detour Flip's gas station, he hadn't gone before but he was in the mood for a milkshake, entered the place and looked up at the old man named Flip.
-Hey old man, a blueberry smoothie please
-Ok Boy! Two dollars please. . .Lincoln?
-Great! It happened again!- He thought, a little anoyed, Brandon immediately answered:
-Listen! to be clear, I'm not that boy you call Lincoln, if you have a problem with him, I would be grateful if you do not try to pay it off with me, I just want my smoothie and go on with my life, deal?-
The old owner only observed Brandon for a few moments, he was a bit confused and skeptical of what he had just said, at the end decided not to give much importance.
-Whatever you say boy, as long as you pay, I don't care who you say you are
-That's more like it, now; where is my blueberry smoothie?"
-Right away!- The old man said and after taking the money, he served the white-haired boy his drink. Brandon left the place and sat down on the sidewalk to enjoy his smoothie, once more he let himself to relax a bit, he had already finished his work day, he rested his back on the sidewalk and closed his eyes, allowing the soft breeze refresh him, in his mind he thought:
-Hmmm, I think Miss Mary may be right, maybe taking a day off from time to time is not a bad idea, I can have a little fun or rest, maybe tomorrow, I don't have anything scheduled anyway, yes! Tomorrow will be. Meanwhile, I will enjoy this small relaxation time as much as possible
-Hey Lame-O! What are you doing here?
-Well, I guess good things really don't last very long- The white-haired boy thought, he immediately opened his eyes and lifted his body up, although he knew that voice was talking to Lincoln, it was too obvious he was mistook for that boy again
When he raised his sight, he noticed a girl a few steps away from him, he had medium brown skin, black hair, freckles and teeth out but not as noticeable as his own, she was wearing a purple sweater, blue shorts and long purple socks, the boy looked at her for a moment, oddly that girl seemed kinda familiar, recalling quickly, he realized that she looked a lot like the boy who gave him the pizza the other day, perhaps they were things escalate further, Brandon decided to act fast.
"Listen girl, before you say anything, I have to tell. . .-
Brandon stopped immediately after noticing the girl approached him quickly, it seemed that the girl's intentions were not very nice.
-How dare you not telling me you had return?- the girl said and immediately tried to give him a slap in the face of the white-haired boy, the girl never expected that her hand was stopped centimeters away by the boy's hand. the girl was surprised, she looked at Brandon right to the eyes, his face showed her he was upset.
"Hey girl!. . . What the hell were you trying to do?
-Girl? You know my name! let go of me!
The girl named Ronnie Anne tried to come loose from the grip of the child in front of her but his grip was strong.
-Hey! Enough already! You are hurting me!-
-Hurt? Just like I would be if I hadn't stop your hand?-
-That is your own fault! You promised me that we would go to the Arcade once you were back, and now I see you here, enjoying a milkshake, not caring for our promise!
Brandon stared at the girl for a moment, somehow he could understand she was kinda upset for thinking she was left hanging, he immediately let go of Ronnie Anne's hand, she stepped back and examined it, her hand still hurt a little but it seemed it was nothing serious, she was about to say something to "Lincoln" when he spoke first:
"I'm not Lincoln- he said without hesitation.
"What?" Ronnie Anne said a little confused.
-What you heard, I'm not that boy you call Lincoln and personally I would hate to be him, it seems that he is not precisely Mr popular here
-What you're talking about. . . You are Lincoln Loud! Did you hit your head or something?
-Loud- Brandon thought for a second and replied- I assure you that my head is all very well, but I retain what I said, I am not Lincoln, I am someone who recently came to this town and you should be perhaps the 5th or 6th person that confuses me with him, at the beginning I thought it might be a kind of joke, the boys here are not very clever for what I see, but I must admit you just confirm something, he and me surely look a like a lot.
Ronnie Anne watched the boy in front of her carefully, she had not paid much attention to the small details before but it seemed the boy wasn't lying, for a start, the clothing was very different from the one that his partner usually wears, in addition, his hair was more messy, he had a fringe but it was nothing like the one she was used seeing, but the face was identical, even their voices were very similar, even so; little by little she started to believe the boy's words.
-If it is true what you say, then tell me who are you and what are you doing here?-
-My name don't concern you and I only will tell you that I'm new in this town, I just came here a few days ago
-I see- Ronnie Anne said, still not entirely convinced, she needed to be totally sure, she remembered what happened a little while ago, as the boy managed to stop her hand, it seemed that this boy had fast reflexes, that gave her an idea.
-Very well, if you're not Lincoln, then I hope you don't mind if I do a small test.
-A Test?-
-Yes, I'm sorry in advance If I hurt you- the girl said and immediately launched herself at the boy with her fists clenched.
-Hey! was the only thing he managed to say before suddenly found himself dodging kicks and punches from the violent girl, Ronnie Anne was very fast, she even made him block a few blows, Brandon realized the girl was very strong, he definitely could not let him being hit by any of those blows or he would be seriously damaged, He tried to reason with her but she didn't listen, after some seconds, Brandon finally lost his patience and. . .
-Enough Already! The white haired boy shouted, dodging one of Ronnie's blows, he counter attack and directed a punch to her face face, she gasped when she saw the fist coming to her, there was no way she could dodge or block it, she only closed her eyes in anticipation and waited for the pain but it never came, she opened her eyes and found Brandon's fist an inch from her cheek.
-What? Why?
Brandon retrieved his fist from the face of Ronnie Anne and said:
-I can be many things, but I would never hit a girl in the face withoug a good reason, even if they are as strong as you
Ronnie Anne only watched him, surprised at what had just happened, she smiled and said:
-Now I believe you, Lincoln would have never been able to fight equaly with me, much less surpass me in a fight, I'm sorry I confused and tried to hurt you
Brandon immediately knew that she was being sincere, with a smile he replied:
-Apology accepted but know this, if you try something like that again, I promise that the next time I will not stop, no matter if you are girl- Brandon assured
-Fair enough, but if there is a next time, I will not hold back- responded a very confident Ronnie Anne
-And you think I was fighting seriously? I must say you are someone interesting, may I know your name?
"I guess you earned the right to know, my name is Ronnie Anne, and I must say that you are also an interesting boy
-Thank you Ronnie Anne, it is a good name. I'll make sure to remember it, it is rare that I find cute girls who know how to fight
Upon hearing this, Ronnie Anne blushed.
"Your. . .You think I'm cute?"
"Yes! Kinda snatched and rude for my taste but I do believe that you're cute, I could get to like you-
Ronnie Anne was not accustomed to receive praises from boys, and less to be "flirted" most guys in her neighborhood and school were afraid and ran away from her, still a little embarrassed, she replied:
-I. . .I already have a boyfriend or something like that
-Uh? Ok. . . I don't know why you are telling me that but it's okay, I guess is that Lincoln, Oh crap! Poor boy
-Hey! And what does that suppose to mean?- She asked a bit annoyed.
-Nothing! Nothing! Ronnie. . . I have to go now, my curfew will end soon, we may see another day
-Very well, see you later boy.
Brandon started to walk away from Ronnie Anne, But take a few steps, she spoke:
-Hey! Wouldn't you like to meet to Lincoln? I think he would also be interested to meet you.
Brandon stopped in her tracks to listen to that question, normally he would have said yes, what child wouldn't like to get to know a guy very similar to him? But something inside of him told him otherwise, it was as if deep down, he knew it was not a good idea, that this meeting could generate a radical change in his life, he turned his head and replied:
-I don't think so
-What? But. . . Why?
-It's complicated, I'm not sure myself, if possible. Please don't tell him about our meeting ok?
-You know I can't promise you that, Lincoln is my friend and I have to tell him
(Sigh) I guess you're right, ok! See you later Ronnie Anne- Brandon ran away from the place, Ronnie Anne just stood there, looking for some seconds the way Brandon went.
-What a strange boy. . . But I have to admit he is kinda cute too, just like Lincoln but to be honest, he is not my type, he doesn't have that shy and sensitive side that makes Lincoln so attractive- Ronnie Anne said, she then entered to Flip's to buy a smoothie as well. In her mind she couldn't wait to tell Lincoln about her meeting with his double.
