Life Worth 0

XVII-XVIII

XVII (Tuesday the 27th of 1957. Cypress Community. New Orleans, United States of America)

My fist go for a Jap. Lynda blocks it with her arms.

I move back for a round kick.

Yet she blocks the kick then counter with a left hook, then right right, I was hit with the right hook.

'I need distance' I thought as I made some space between us. Having enough distance, I went for a sidekick.

She blocks my second kick and moves forward, with a right cross, then goes for a hook.

I slip the cross and duck the hook. Then move forward with an uppercut.

But she leans back to dodge. Missing my uppercut by inches.

I try to salvage my act by throwing out a cross.

Nonetheless, she slips to count it.

Except I wasn't having any of that and moved with a left jab. Hitting her in her jaw.

Being hit made her fall back a few steps, giving me the opportunity to give her a right round kick.

She's staggering some more from that hit. Seizing this opportunity, I move forward and delivered a front kick to her, and she goes down for the count.

Finally able to catch my breath, I set down to start losing the straps on my headgear.

Looking over to where Lynda was lying down, I could see Luthor taking off her gear, and putting a wet towel to her chin.

"Good practice girls you're both doing great Neil what is the score" Louis congratulated us from where he sat on the porch.

"16 to 13 in Louise's favor. With Louise using kickboxing and Lynda boxing. But with their overall wins in practice fighting it 156 wins for Lynda to Louise 148 wins" Neil spoke from his perch on the top of a tree branch.

"It's not all that surprising that Louise loses more than she wins when Lynda only uses instincts and brute force to fight." Halona commenting from the bench she was sitting on in front of our house.

I threw her a nasty look at that comment. Not caring about the look I threw after her, she continued on speaking, "Louise, you need to stop thinking. So much in your fights, you need to use more instinct."

"This advice comes from a person who can barely hold her own against me." I say snidely.

"Why you little?" Halona said as she got up from her seat.

"Enough you two" Louis spoke, stopping Halona in her tracks" Louise, you need to work on not dodging and blocking more. Lynda, you need to dodge more and block less" Louis said

"All right" I said as a response. And Lynda rose her thumb up as an agreement.

"All right, the day practice is over" He says after getting our agreement.

"Well I'm leaving" I told them as I got up from the ground and started walking back to the house. To pack the things I will need today.

"Be back by 3:00 Louise" Louis ordered.

"All right" I told him as I reached the front door.

Lynda POV

As the front door shut, I looked over to where Neil sat.

I raise my hand to block the sunlight as I gazed upon Neil. I thought about what Luthor said about being ready. That night I went to bed, I thought about all the things I could do to be ready. The only thing that came to mind was carving out my own future with my own hands. Along with not relying on Louise to give me purpose.

Glancing at my hands that are wrapped in bandages, I wonder what future I can carve out.

"Neil" I called out to him. "Help Me with something?" I requested of him.

He looked at me as if he was observing something. For a second I thought I saw his eyes flashing a golden color. "Ok" He said. Then he started to climb down the tree.

As he climbed down I couldn't stop myself. From marveling on about how his eyes were golden and how Luther's eyes were yellow for split seconds.

Snap "Lynda" Neil uttered as he snapped his fingers in my face.

"Is something wrong?" He asked.

"No" I said, trying to shake off this eerie feeling I was beginning to have. "Let's go" I announce to him as I start to walk towards the direction of the treehouse.

"What is all this?" Neil's voice as he looked upon my work of the last 4 days.

"My failures" I stated. As I looked at my area of the treehouse.

"Mmm mm, your failure of what?" He asked in this hypnotizing voice. As he picked up a painting with a hole straight through it.

The painting was just an image of a burgundy red butterfly and a golden cougar dancing together. After I painted it, it irritated me so much that I punched a hole through it.

"My future" I vocalize. As I stare at the painting he was holding up. Sitting the painting down, Neil turned his eyes to me.

He started to walk slowly towards me. When he got in front of me, he took my chin in between his right hand's thumb and pointer finger.

"Lynda" He purred out suddenly in this deep voice. "What do you want for your future?"

I don't know why, but his voice made me feel a little sleepy.

My first thoughts was Louise. But I knew I couldn't rely on her anymore. So I have to really think about what he was asking.

What do I want?

"I want something that I will never get bored with." I said in a whisper.

"Hohhotho not Louise" He commented as he pulled my chin closer to him. Making me have to stand on my tippy-toes." I can't rely on her" I sorrowfully responded. For a brief second, his eyes flashed golden again.

"Lynda, why did you… ask me for help" He drawled out, finally letting go of my chin.

"Because you are creative" I said as I rubbed my chin.

As I rub my chin, you started to walk around my area, picking up and throwing things back to the ground.

He finally stopped doing that as he stopped in front of my bookshelf and newspaper collection.

That bookshelf was made up of all the books I personally picked up myself. Most of the books were on law and the newspapers were on different cultures.

"Lynda" he said as he picked up a newspaper. "What do you think about becoming a writer?"

Andrei POV

Sitting on the soft grass, I look at Louise.

She looked very pretty, with the wind blowing through her raven color hair, laying under the tree. With the trees' branches shadowing her face. Her eyes are shut. She looked so peaceful.

"Atramentous" she utters in a low voice.

That long nickname she graced upon me. She said it was symbolic because it's a simile to the nickname I gave her. But she rarely calls me that.

"I have been thinking about the future as of late" She announced in a very fluid voice.

"I want to know. If you have any plans for your future" She acquired as she opened her eyes to view at me.

I stared into her eyes for what felt like an eternity.

I never truly stared at her eyes because they were truly piercing black. It made me feel, as the longer I looked into them, the more I would be devoured.

"No" I stated as I tore my eyes away from her.

If I had stared a bit longer, I would have seen her eyes flash burgundy.

"I have come to realize in the past few days that I could do a lot with my future." She spoke quietly, as if saying a secret.

"But also came to realize that the many things I can do with my future will not make me happy." She declared.

"So, what is your solution for that?" I inquiry as I turned my gaze back to her.

She was sitting up now, fixing the jacket she had on. As she finished fixing the jacket, she reached for her bag.

"I don't really know what to do. That's why I was asking you what you want to do" she remarked as she pulled out a lunch box from her bag.

"Maybe if you had an idea of what you want to do. I could probably do something similar" she voiced as she opened up the lunch box and handed me a sandwich.

Sometimes when Louise says things like that. I wonder where she gets this idea of equality between our genders.

"I think I'm going to probably be a thief for the rest of my life" I remarked in a somber voice.

I took a bite of the sandwich. It was peanut butter and jelly.

"Then I think I'll be a thief with you" She speaks it, so nonchalantly I stare at her for a second.

My only response to that was asking her, "Then what is our next job?"

"What do your family needs?" She said while she finished up her sandwich.

I thought about it, but nothing truly came to mind.

"Nothing" I told her. As she started to put away her lunch box.

"The day was a very nice day to take a nap in" She observed even as she grabbed her bag and then got up from her spot.

"We should do this again" she declared while stretching a little.

"Yeah we should" I told her as I got up from my sitting spot.

She started to move towards her bike.

As she got on her bike. She said one last thing to me before she left me standing under the tree." I will ask my family what they think they need, and you will ask yours the same thing."

Then she rolled off. Leaving me with the realization that I didn't tell her about what my Dat wanted me to ask her for.

Getting home, I locked up my bike on the front porch.

Walking up the stairs, I walked across the porch to the front door into the living room.

I saw Halona sitting on one of the couches weaving a basket. Not paying her no mind.

I walked over to the other couch the living room had, dropped my bag next to it, took off my shoes, and lay down upon it.

I looked over to Halona to watch her for a bit. She looked very pretty sitting next to the window in the evening sunlight.

The lighting truly brought out her golden tan. It was a shame that she's been a bitch lately to me. I would have liked to draw her, and maybe even do a painting of her.

Beautiful moments like these are the reason I took up drawing and painting again, even though I hated it in my last life. But then again, in my last life I was forced to learn how to draw and paint, because of my lack of skill in dancing. Ivory's mom wanted her to have a lady-like skill in some way.

It's funny how in this life I'm good at both of them, even if dancing took some work with my early on clumsiness.

I reached down for my bag and took out my notebook. It was a handmade notebook Lynda made for me.

It was made out of wood, blank recycled used paper, and metal rings. I was so happy when she gave it to me on our last birthday. My gift seen kind of lame, when it was just a charm bracelet. I was thinking about adding charms for each of our birthdays.

Because the metal rings opened up, I can add more paper to the notebook anytime.

Thinking of the future made me think of what I told Andrei earlier.

Looking over to Halona I thought about asking her about things she thinks we need.

Looking at her. I thought about the malicious way she acted towards me this morning, and concluded that it would be a terrible idea to do such a thing.

I finally came to the idea of just writing things down. Which I think we'll need to do in the future. If we're going to continue being thieves.

I started to jot down all the ideas I had for the upcoming future.

At some point, Luthor came into the living room and broke the silence me and Halona were bathing in.

"Dinner is about to be ready, so go clean up." He tells us.

Sitting up from the couch. I put my notebook into my bag and grabbed my shoes and got up.

I passed Luthor to get into the hallways and started walking towards my room.

In my room, I set my things down and took off my jacket. Then I went to the bathroom and washed my hands.

Finish washing my hands, I walked into the hallways and started walking to the dining room.

Looking at the clock we had hung up on the wall. I can see that it was 5:48.

I looked at the table to see the food on the table with Louis and Luthor sitting down.

Furthermore, I took my usual seat to dad's left and across from Luthor. And wait for the rest of my family to come in to eat.

Halona came in first and sat down in her usual seat to the right of Ista's chair and left to Luthor.

Lynda and Neil came in together and sat in their respected seats.

Lynda's seat being left to my seat and Neil's seat being to Lynda's right, Ista's seat left and Halona sitting across from him.

Ista's finally came in holding a pitcher with sliced lemons in the water.

Sitting the pitcher on the table, then she took a seat.

With that, dinner, it occurred.

XVIII (Wednesday the 28th July 1957. Cypress Community. New Orleans, United States of America)

Elbow spin hook turn knee back crouch floor sweep headbutt.

For the last 14 minutes I've been outside practicing my first capoeira routine. During my second run through the routine, Luthor came outside, started practicing his Muay Thai. When Neil came dragging a grumpy Lynda behind him, I switch to my second routine.

As I began the second mantra thought my head, I could see from the side, Lynda raising her hand to close up a yawning.

Handstand now left kick straighten leg right kick straighten leg lean back lean ford hold still lean back lean ford hold still now back on feet.

I did that until my arms felt like they were going to fall off. While taking my break, Louis and Halona came outside. I looked around to see Luthor doing his second muya thai routine. Neil looked like he was still on his doing first routine. And Lynda is also still on her first kung fu routine.

Like its language class, Holy Cross Academy's mixed martial club offers its members to learn a new martial art style each year. The club has 12 different martial arts to choose from. My first year, I chose to learn kickboxing, while Lynda learned boxing at my suggestion to have something different.

When this year came around, and the coach asked if anyone wanted to learn a different style. I told Lynda to choose kung fu, while I chose capoeira.

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, and music. I hope one day I will be able to go to Brazil, just to see the difference in the way I was taught to the way the people there are taught.

At the time when I heard it, it had a lot of kicks and spins in the style. I thought it would match well with my kickboxing training.

The only thing I truly had to do, beside learning the forms, was to learn how to flip while fighting.

Being on the gymnastics team the year before helped a lot with that. It also improved my gymnastics floor routine.

'I think I'm going to practice my gymnastics floor routine when I'm with Andrei later.' I amused as I started to stretch my back.

"Since you all are doing your routines. Today, I will go easy on you all and just have you all do your routines." Louis announces.

'All right, time to start on routines' I thought, as I stopped stretching my back. But my arms felt like leads, so I took a longer break.

'Maybe I should go get some water,' I thought as I turned towards the porch to go up the stairs.

Halona POV

When I was five years old, she announced she was pregnant with twins. I was so happy to have another little siblings on the way, that I hoped that they would look up to me this time. Unlike Neil, who was four at the time, when she made the announcement.

By the time Neil was three, he was aware enough of the world to know the expectations he was holed up to. He was apparently old enough to decide that he didn't care for them.

Old enough to decide I was not worthy to be looked up to.

So I was excited, especially when they came out as twin girls. I thought to myself at the time, I'll make sure they look up to me this time, and not like how Neil looked at me. I also thought being a girl would help.

So I tried to be the perfect big sister.

But it didn't go to plan, with Louise's quietness and Lynda only being interested in Louise.

So we weren't as close as most siblings, but didn't mean it will stop me from getting them to look up to me.

So I tried to do better and be better.

But it seems like nothing works. On the verge of giving up, I had an idea to watch them to see how they acted with our family.

And came to the startling realization that Louise actually liked Dad. It also made me register how different dad acted towards her compared to me.

Dad was always closer to the boys and mom was always closer to me, so I thought it was a gender thing.

But at the tender age of 6 I came to the sad comprehension it was not.

For the next year I couldn't find the reason he was so different with her to compare to me. I mean, I was the perfect daughter.

It was not until the twin's first birthday that I found out the reason.

It all started with me helping out with the preparations for the twin's birthday party. I was still young at the time, so the only thing I helped out with was making decorations.

While making decorations, the older ladies of the community were gossiping. Being taught all my life to listen, when the members of the community members gossiping I eavesdropped on them.

They were talking about how I was the only one of all my kids he was not there for at born.

That was the difference between me and my siblings, I perceived that day. That was the reason I would less love than my siblings.

It was also the creation of my feeling of resentment for Louise.

Nonetheless, I didn't let that green-eyed monster show itself because I was the perfect daughter, the perfect big sister.

"Did you hear about what they're saying about that soundless child?" Lady one said, as she looked over the food put out for today, for the members to restock their food.

"Do you think it true that noiseless children steal for the community?" Lady two asked as she did the same as Lady one.

"Well, I heard from Urika that is true" Another female member piped up into the conversation, to make the group of gossiping females bigger.

"It got to be true if Urika is saying it true" Female one said as she looked like she was done looking for food, and just staying for the conversation now.

"But why would such an unnerving child do that for us is the real question?" Female two asked the two other females. Making me realize she was the youngest of all three females.

"Well she is the grandchild of Keokuk, he did something similar" Female three said, sounding like the oldest of all three females.

"Yes, but it's very surprising that a dreadful child did it." Female ones said, agreeing with female three. I was now tired of their gossiping, so I went over there and interrupted them.

"Good evening ladies" I said in a chipper voice, as I waved at them.

"Oh, Halona! I didn't see you there!" Female three said, waving back at me.

"Yes child, how are you on this fine day" the female one said as she pet me on my shoulder.

"Oh? Doing well?" I responded to her question.

"I see you doing some errands" Female one to say as she gestured towards my basket of yarn.

"Yes, mom told me to get some more" I said keeping a smile on my face.

"I'll see you later child" Female three said trying to end the conversation.

"Yeah! See you ladies later." I told the ladies as I turned my back to them and started walking away.

"Do you think she heard us?" One of the females said

"I don't think so and even if she did, she would not say anything" another one said.

"Why do you say that?" Another one asked.

"Well she's just like Ista" The speaker said in a matter of fact tone.

"Yes, well I could see that but let's be more careful next time" Someone agreed.

The seasons in New Orleans didn't come when they were supposed to. Throughout January and February, February, it's winter. March, April, and May it's spring. June, July, August, September, and October it's summer. November and December, it's fall.

But it gets very chilly at night.

Today, it was only 76 degrees outside. Which is why, after this morning training and breakfast with the family, when to my room to change my sweaty clothes for my practice leotard with pants over it. Also, I did make sure to bring a nice casual blue jacket with me to put on, if it gets cold.

I went to the kitchen and grabbed my lunch box for the day and left the house soon afterwards, but not without Louis telling me to be back before 3:00.

By the time I made it to Andrei's house, it was 10:30. Andrei looked like he was waiting for me to come at some point, because he was waiting outside his house instead of helping his dat fix their house. Soon after Andrei told his dat goodbye, Andrei and I left and went straight to City Park.

When we got to the city park, we went straight to Storybook Land, close to where we stash the go-kart. It was the same spot I chose yesterday to take my nap. Sitting under the trees, I didn't start our conversation by asking him what his family needs in the near future. No, I start our conversation about what he would want to learn from me.

His response to the question was to ask me what I could teach him. That answer to my question stuns me for a second.

Not because I assumed that Andrei was stupid and couldn't ask intelligent questions like that. It was because I was assuming that he was going to ask me to teach him more languages, or more about astronomy and history. Topics I had talked to him at length about.

You might be wondering why I am offering to teach Andrei something. The reason is simple. After changing into my leotard, I came to the realization that we of the community that go to school in New Orleans, will not be going to school for a long time. This will not be a big problem for me and others in the community because we have our own school in the community. But it will be a problem for people who go to school in the city. So I ask him about what he will want to learn from me to help with the lack of education for the time being.

I asked him about what he would want to learn, because I do not want to force him to learn something he does not want to learn. And wasting both of our time trying to force him.

It took me a second to think about all the things I could teach correctly to him and also having something he will be interested in. What I could think of teaching him is Spanish because I already began teaching him the Spanish language. And the Japanese language, because well I learned it in my first life and because I was relearned it in this life.

In the thoughts of my past life, I started to think about the things I learned in both lives that I could teach him. Ballroom dancing is one I learned both in life, and I could throw in teaching the tap-dancing I learned in this life. The tap dancing can be another way he makes money. A lot of people in New Orleans, who know how to tap dance, do it on the corners of the street because it's another way to make money.

I can also teach him etiquette because you never know when you need to look and act sophisticated. Thinking of the thought to make Andrei look, and act sophisticated, I can teach him about art, and how to paint to sell it some more.

I realize sadly that I couldn't teach him either of the martial arts I learned in this life because I was not a true master of either of them. But I could teach him gymnastics because it was something I learned in both life and in its stead.

After thinking it over, I told him what all the options he had to learn. He agreed to learn all of them, but asked a little more about gymnastics. So I decided to give him a demonstration of it.

Getting up, I started up with a.

Round off Back walkover Back extension roll Full turn on one foot Front handspring Double turn Swith leg leap

Done with the routine, I turned around to see his reaction to it. He looked surprised and he started clapping for me.

With this demonstration, this morning routine and coming to New Orleans itself, I was very tired. I don't even want to think about going back home to add to it.

Sitting back down, I begin to ask him about what his family needs. Before he could begin to tell me, I also asked him to give me my notebook out of my book sack because he was closer to it. As he spoke about what his family needed, I wrote it down, and compared it to what Neil told me about what our family needed.

By the time he was done, I was done comparing everything. It was closer to the time I needed to live by. So, getting up and grabbing my things, I started to walk towards my bike. Before I got on, Andrei grabbed me and told me about what his dat wanted him to tell me. I told him I would tell my mom, then reach for my book sack, and grab my lunch box. And took my lunch out and gave it to him. I soon left them after giving him my lunch.

Luthor POV

"Luthor, you have been a little rough on your sister lately" Dad said as he swung the axe to cut down a tree.

"Yeah, I have" I dispassionately replied to him.

"You want to tell me why" Dad prompted just as dispassionately.

At first I thought against saying anything, but for some reason I wanted to know what he would have to say to it. "It's something she said after the fight Louise and mom had. She said what mom did was right."

A sigh was, dad only replied to what I just told him.

Trying to lighten the mood, I told him" You have been doing that a lot lately dad, it makes me wonder if I'm going to be doing that a lot when I have my own family"

"I hope for your sake that you don't," He said as he kept swinging the ax.

"Speaking of the future, I know I probably will not be going to college this year, so I think I will find me a job" I told him, as he stepped back and watched the tree fall.

"I wish you had more of an option, son. But a job looks like it will be your best option to do, but I also think that you should apply to more colleges." He said as we both thought about moving towards the tree branches to cut them off.

"Dad, most of the colleges I wanted to go to flooded and will not be opening this year either" I told him.

"You're only thinking about the colleges that are close to New Orleans, you aren't thinking about the ones outside this state" He countered.

"Yeah? And move far away from this family, with the way it is." I countered back.

"Son, it's not your responsibility to take care of this family, it's me and your mother" Dad tried to be gentle while doing that, but it came out harsher than he intended to.

"That's true, but they are my little siblings and watching them struggle with the way they are, well it'd be cruel to me not to help them." I agreed with what he said, but I gave him my opinion on the subject of our family.

"I mean, the twins worry me." I said using the twins as an example and also as a way to explain my feelings.

"Yes, the twins, they worry all of us." He agreed with a bit of sadness in his voice.

"I think Louise will be okay for the most part. Just got to knock some awareness into her, and she could probably succeed in anything she wants to do. Lynda is the one I'm most worried about." I told Dad of my observation of them.

"To tell you the truth, son, I honestly don't know what to do with her most days. I want to take her to a doctor, but I know they won't be much help, they will just throw her into the Looney bin." What he said just caught me all by surprise. I never knew he was thinking about doing that.

For a moment I stayed quiet. I didn't know what to say to that.

"Louise is mostly all right Dad" I said slowly as if I said it too fast he would throw them in the Looney Bin. "I mean, we just got to get Lynda used to being separated from Louise and make her more interested in things longer." I told him, hoping he would take the solution.

"I think Lynda realized that herself. Last night, Neil came to me and told me that yesterday he spent the day trying to find something that would keep her occupied for more than a few hours." He told me, and the only thing I could think of was to thank God for making my sister smart. At that moment I was unknown, making my eyes glow yellow.

"Did it work?" he said. She just kept recycling a few things, he also said. She might do something with writing in the future." Dad offers up.

"Well, that's something good." I said calming down, and at that moment I realized that what he was going for was to calm me down.

"Yes it is, but he also said that she told him that she has this need to always check up on Louise. He said she could deny it for 5 hours, but after those hours it starts to itch around her wrist, and it doesn't stop until she has Louise in her sight again." He said.

"So you think it is a more mental thing than anything" I asked him.

"Yes, I think the key to break her out of this is to try to get her to longer and longer without Louise in her sight."He told me his opinion on the subject.

"How we're going to go about that" I asked him.

"I will talk to Louise after dinner about this, see if she's willing to stay in the treehouse for a couple of days" He said.

"I think we should ask Mom about how did Lynda fared when we were staying at your house." I said thinking of something we should consider.

"Yes I'm going to go ask her before I talk to Louise"He said.

Ista POV

Finishing chopping up the last ingredients to put into the pot. She listened to the song on the radio.

"It's not for me to say, you love me

It's not for me to say, you'll always care

Oh, but here for the moment, I can hold you fast

And press your lips to mine, and dream that love will last." The person song as she put the ingredients into the pot.

"As far as I can see, this is heaven

And speaking just for me, it's ours to share

Perhaps the glow of love will grow with every passing day

Or we may never meet again, but then it's not for me to say" The radio played in the background as she thought of her husband and father.

*Flashback*

"Tupaarnaq come" My dad said as he started to walk away from me. I got up from the ground, still feeling the pain from the training from earlier. But not wanting to anger my dad, I ran after him.

We walked past all our neighbor houses and walked closer, and closer, to the better part of the settlement. As we walked through the better part of the settlement, people started throwing us looks. At first I didn't understand why they were throwing us looks like that. It wasn't like they hadn't seen us before. But then I realized it was, because nobody in my neighborhood had ever been to this part of the settlement this late.

"Ignore them" Dad said. I followed his directions, looked forward, and continued to follow behind dad quietly.

We soon left all the houses and buildings and walked into an empty area with just a road. Dad kept walking down that road, so I followed him. As we walked, it got darker and darker outside, until it became harder to see. Trying to see into the distance, to see where we were going, I finally saw where we were heading to. It was the gate that separated us from the rest of the world. Until this moment, I only truly heard about it. I never saw it because the adults never let us go anywhere without them seeing us. But the adults still told us about it.

Dad suddenly stopped. I wonder why, because we were not closer to the gate.

"This is how far we go" He said. "Tupaarnaq look around, what do you see."

"I see the gate" I told him.

"Exactly…. The gate is what separates us from the world," He said." Tupaarnaq, do you understand why I have been you training?"

"No, not truly." I told him.

"It's because I truly do not see you staying here. You will one day see the world, and one day have a family. And when you have your family, you will try all the harder to keep them safe." He says, looking at me.

*Flashback End*

"Keep Them Safe Huh" She uttered as she squeezed the knife in her hand." Oh, Daddy, your daughter is failing." Then she heard the sound of the food she was cooking overflowing. She's just taking the food off the wood-burning stove." Halona tells them to come to dinner."

Everybody was finishing up dinner, when I mustered my courage to speak to Ista.

"Mom, my friend Andrei asked if you could come meet his Dat"

"His Dad" She mispronounced.

"No, his Dat." I corrected.

"And who is this Dat of your friend." She asked with a tinge of confusion in her voice.

"His Dad" I voice.

"Louise, why do you say it like that?" She asked now, then put her fork and knife down.

"Because Andrei said it how it is pronounced" I told.
