10. Jam and Jelly

-My dear family! Breakfast is ready! - The beautiful and extremely happy girl put a pile of hotcakes on the table.

- Oh… must you scream so early? - Her little and angry sister sat down in a box.

- Sorry baby sister, but if you don't eat it freshly made, it is not so tasty.

- Oh my life is almost a chaos, thank you Olga. - She said with irony while she was trying to open a jar. - What stuff is this?

- it's strawberry jam dear. - Miriam appeared with an empty glass in her hands.

- Strawberry jam? Pew, I can't eat this! I prefer some jelly.

- Oh child, please! We could only buy jam, try to eat it. Is good for little kids or something. - The man ate a big slide of hotcake.

- Yeah Bob, it is so good for me to eat this STRAWBERRY JAM!

- Helga, please, it's just jam, later we can buy some jelly.

- Sure Miriam, I'll be dead by then.

- Enough young lady, if you can't appreciate our food you can go!

- Thank you dad, you really saved me!

- Helga, please. - Her mother said.

The girl feigned a bow and stormed out of her father's shop. For her first morning living there, it had started out horrible.

- Of course! There's nothing like an attempted murder of my careless parents to start the day.

She continued walking in the street with an angry face, angrier than her habitual one.

- Why can no one worry for me? - The girl with the pink bow almost stepped on an ant, when she saw that another one stopped her step. - Even an ant has better company than me... How can this day get worse!

- Helga?

- Arnold? What are you doing? Are you trying to spy on me?

- Oh I was only buying some milk, we need it for breakfast, my grandma used it for… just forget it. Everything it's ok?

- Yes, why do you ask?

- Because you didn't go to school yesterday, Are you sick?

- If you really want to know football head, I'm ok, my family… just forget it, see you later…

- Helga? Did you have breakfast?

- Not it's your business… - Her stomach gave her away.

- Sounds like a negative answer. - He laughed a little.

- Well I didn't, big deal! Wouldn't be the first time!

- Would you like to eat with us? Is not a big meal but… is better than nothing, I guess.

- Do you really want to have breakfast with me and your strange family?

- Only if you want… why not? Also, yesterday Mr Simmons put us in a team for a project, we can talk about it.

- Well… sounds… interesting.

- Cool, come on! Before the guests eat everything.

- Oh my love… you notice my absence… and now you will fede me! Is like a crazy dream!

- We are here grandma!

- Come on, Kimba! The pancakes are ready!

- Thanks grandma. Helga is here. We have to do some homework.

- It's nice to see you again.

- Thank you Mr. Shortman. - She sat down in front of her loved one's family.

- Here! A pile of hotcakes to our dear Eleanor!

- Thank you Mrs.

- And here is some Strawberry jam.

- Strawberry jam? - She asked with a little sadness.

- No grandma, she is allergic to strawberries. Would you like some honey or orange jelly?

- Orange jelly it's ok… thank you football head.

- Is not a big deal Helga.- Is bigger than you could imagine. - She thought to herself as she enjoyed the bite in her mouth.
