Chapter 5

The next day the kids were attending school and they were attending language lesson learning along with the teacher the alphabet.

„Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z," The teacher finished counting the letters along with the students, then smiled at how well the kids had memorized the alphabet. „Very well kids. You all have progressed really quickly. You must have practiced a lot at home, right?" Questioned the teacher watching all students nod. „Super, so this means we're all one step ahead of Mrs. Vergas' class," Mrs. Donner joked making a few students chuckle.

„Is Mrs. Vergas from the other first class?" Asked the raven-haired boy in the first row earning a nod from the teacher.

„Yes Duarte," Responded Mrs. Donner. „So I will ask you to take out the new alphabet booklet you all received yesterday. It's the blue one with the first three letters of the alphabet," Explained the woman watching the students search under their table for the booklet, while she leaned against the desk waiting.

The students had placed their booklet on their table having it opened on the fourth page, which announced the second chapter of the booklet and the teacher picked up her own booklet to show the kids the next page of the chapter, which the kids moved to afterward and waited for the teacher to explain.

„Here you have two columns with words and you have to connect one word from the first column with the other. For example, the first word here is shep. Then you gotta find on the second column, the word that fits here. Do you think the word scaper fits here?" Questioned the woman watching the kids shake their heads. „What about the word narian?"

„That's for word number 7," Responded the brunette boy in the first row, which sat in front of Nathalie. „Veterinarian,"

„Very well Jake," Complimented the teacher connecting the second word of the second column with the 6th word of the first column. „See, it's not that hard," Mrs. Donner said, then watched Rouven raise his hand up.

„I know it! I know it!," Called the son of Luka making the teacher giggle.

„Yes Rouven,"

„It's shepherd," Responded the raven-haired boy earning a nod from the teacher.

„Exactly. Well done," Answered the teacher. „Now it's time for you all to try it on your own,"

The students began to work on their books as the teacher got back to her seat to work on her computer for her school lessons.

Nathalie worked on the task like her other classmates, then looked at Eireen, which already had found four words, then the blonde glanced at the brunette, which looked down at her sheet.

„Is your mom okay?" Questioned Eireen getting the attention of the brunette girl.

„Yeah," Whispered Nathalie. „My dad said everything is alright. She's alive,"

„Oh this is good, then" Eireen commented. „Can we go together to the break?"

„Sure. So far I don't have a girl friend. We can be girl friends too," Nathalie answered making Eireen smile.

„Cool," Eireen responded, then she looked at the other students doing their tasks and moved on hers along with her desk mate.

Nathaniel sat in the office behind the comic book store sorting out mangas out of a box, then carried them out to the store crossing the entire room to go to the manga section and began to spread them out to its specific place. Nathaniel heard a ringing as the door opened and the redhead noticed Rose Lavillant enter into the store looking around for Nathaniel, which she found then she made her way towards the tall man and embraced him.

„Hey Nath, how are you doing?" Questioned Rose watching Nathaniel continue to sort the books on the shelf.

„I'm fine," Nathaniel responded. „Not to 100% but sufficient to handle the day,"

„You know I asked the others at the work if I could leave earlier so I could accompany you to the hospital to see Lila. You're okay with that?"

„I'm fine. Thanks for your offer" Nathaniel responded, then Rose placed her hand on his shoulder to pat it.

„When she gets better the next couple of days she will be back home to rest for a few more weeks until her arm is better. You and Nathalie will be able to see her more often before she's able to get to work again. Which is kinda good cause you can repeat things you weren't able to do during the time she was gone…..also you need to do things where she doesn't use the broken arm,"

„Yes, I know what you mean," Answered the redhead while putting the comic books in order while chatting with the blonde woman. „You know what's sad about that accident? The Taxi driver is in a worse state and in a coma which he may not get out of it….I don't even know how Lila escaped that,"

„She had guardian angels watching over her. This is why she's still here with us,"

„It's funny sometimes. We're not really strongly religious like my grandfather used to be in the past, but there are times that I feel god is always around,"

„There I give you right, Nath," Confirmed the blonde. „I will head to the supermarket to get some croissants. Shall I bring yours too?"

„It's not needed. Marinette brought me this morning some and wanted to make sure I'm alright,"

„Alright, I'll text you when I'm off," Rose mentioned walking towards the exit. „See you this afternoon!"

„See you later, Rose," Nathaniel commented waving at the blonde, which afterward left the store.
