"C'mon, daddy said that we shall welcome the others." But Giulia is slow in coming. Of course she is also curious and excited, but she doesn't want to run directly to their new comrades. She would never tell it to Maya, but she's afraid of what awaits her: What if the others are better than her? If they have been trained? She mustn't disappoint father! Maya, however, doesn't worry about it, because with a huge beam on the face she grinds her friend by the arm into the parking lot, two talking boys are already there. Maya cheerfully waving to them, while Giulia folded her arms across her stomach. Is that really necessary?
The boy, whose hair is as black as Giulia's, is smiling. "Hi, you'll also formed here? But you're not even ei...ght!" He said it directly at Maya, who stares at the boy indignantly. "I'm almost nine!" But she calms down quickly. She knows well that most people estimate her younger than seven. Since her birth, she suffers a severe seizures, due to which she grows very slowly and has a generally sickly appearance. But this doesn't prevent the girl to smile all the time. "I'm not educated, my daddy is the head of the project. But Giulia will become an agent!" Proud she expresses her friend forward, Giulia is murmuring a quiet "hello".
"Maximilian. And this is Tibor." The boy with the orange hair raises his hand in greeting, but something seems to bother Giulia.
"Wait a minute. Tibor Chevalier?" The boy nods. It's him. A few days ago Giulia has overheard some of the agents, as they have talked about him. "If he even remotely as good as his parents," they said, "then he'll become the best agent of the new vintage." They were all excited, and Giulia vowed to show them that she is definitely better. She must be.
"So you want to be the best agent? Then you have to beat me first!" She tries as much as possible to sound facetious, to play their fear. Tibor is confused, he does not understand the behavior of the girl. "What's the matter with you?"
Instead of answer him, Giulia takes the also perplex Maya with her and walks away. "I don't like him and you shouldn't do it as we'll. Understood? And also his friends." Maya nods scared, Giulia reminds now really much of her fearsome father.
Don't make dad proud of her because of this ginger-head? Never!
