Wild flowers

Part 3

Noah had decided after his knee had been cleaned up and bandaged that he liked their mother. His earlier years had made him wary around adults. But the way she had gently healed up the knee and soothed him when she put on that terrible stingy stuff. Well it was nice, though it didn't help being reminded that he would never have this for himself alone. It proved all the kids points at school. He was indeed missing out. Now the next time he shrugged his shoulder when they jeered at him, well he'd know that they were right.

He quietly hobbled down the stairs alone. Since he'd been there there hadn't been a dull moment. He had since discovered that their was another little boy and he and the little girl with Robbie reluctantly in towe had decided to take Mr. Hunter's lawn mower for a drive. The results were anything but nice. But somehow he found it comforting here, while he was here it was like he was in another world and there was nothing dark in this place, it would have been perfect if it weren't for that annoying girl.

He almost ran back up the stairs when he saw her wondering around the kitchen alone. unfortunately she had looked up.

"Hey"

He nodded in response and bit his lip hard when he saw her wince as she sat down on one of the chairs.

She indicated to the chair next to her and he reluctantly sat down beside her.

"Dad's going to drive you home"

Noah nodded; he had since discovered that there was no point in arguing any matter with this family. If they said they were going to do something, then that was it case closed.

She shifted uncomfortably in her chair and this time Noah couldn't help but smirk.

"What are you smirking at"?

He tried to compose himself with out success "Nothing"

"Your smirking "she accused.

"So"?

"So stop it, it's not funny"

"yes it is"

She folded her arms and glared at him, and much to her annoyance he glared back.

What was wrong with him? Kit Hunter's evil eye was very well known at school and could even make the teachers shudder.

She huffed No one ever crossed the line with her; Well not before he came along. She had to give him this. He was brave and for that he had to be admired.

Mr. Hunter walked through the back door along with three very embarrassed children who all had their hands protectively covering their bottoms.

"You three upstairs "

They squealed and hurried off

He grabbed his keys

"Kit, Boy"

"His name's Noah "Kit corrected.

He nodded "Noah, right where do you live"?

"Bridgeway"

"You walked all that way?" he asked, seeming mildly impressed. Bridgeway was the town just before Yabbi Creek.

"Yes sir"

"Right then, we better get you home your parents are probably worried sick"

Noah didn't bother to correct the man, but he very much doubted that Jude was worried about him .

The car ride was interesting Kit sat in the back with him babbling on what seemed to be nonsense to him, but if he we to be honest, he was starting to not dislike her so much.

The car came to a stop and Noah hopped out. He waved to Kit and thanked Mr. Hunter for the ride.

Kit rolled her window down "Oi Noah"

He turned around

"What school do you go to"?

He raised a brow "Yabbi creek"

She gave a grin "I'll see you next year then"

Noah shook his head as he watched the Ute drive off, whether he liked it or not , he had a feeling that Kit Hunter was going to be part of his life for a long time to come.
