9 Cold Lemonade

While Kiara was busy pouring the paper cups with lemonade juice, suddenly Alice came. She was looking at Dingxiang who was folding his both hands to his chest and facing his back to Alice- waiting for the drinks.

Alice was mesmerizing the perfect figure of the sportsman and the aura of the most wanted guy in the neighbourhood. She stood there silently until Kiara realized her present.

Kiara: "Oh, hi Alice! Dingxiang is here." Said Kiara innocently after she handed the paper cups to Dingxiang.

Alice: "Hi Kiara, hi Dingxiang. "She paused then she smiled before she continued her sentence.

"Oh you are selling lemonade."

Kiara: "*Abuden." she rolled her eye balls and shook her head.

Dingxiang who heard what she was saying almost chocked to death as he understood the sarcastic word she had spoken to Alice.

Alice: "What? Abu what? Den?" She actually was about to explode as she knew the word. The school often used that sarcastic word to response to an obvious observation or question with their fiends.She composed her posture and calmly asking Kiara.

Alice: "Where did you learn that? Who taught you that?" She said it with her smile.

Kiara: "My brother." She added new paper cups on the table. She was so happy with her sales just now.

Alice tried to get a sympathy from Dingxiang but he just raised both of his shoulders and then he strode away to the basketball court without looking at Alice who was looking like an innocent one. She was slowly showed she was offended with the statement. Alice then took the chair and sat on it next to Kiara's stall.

Alice: "Give me a cup of lemonade Kiara."

Kiara:"That would cost you a dollar."

Alice: "A dollar? Why its so expensive?"

Kiara: "Because it is delicious!"

Alice: "Who said it? Who would say that?"

Kiara: "Dingxiang."

Alice: "Really??"

She looked a the juice and then she looked at Dingxiang across the road at the basketball court.

Alice: "Okay, let me try one. I want to see if its true." She still persuaded Kiara to give her a cup of lemonade juice and she was actually thinking to run away with the cup without paying it.

Kiara sighed.

Kiara: "Alice, I know its hard to have no money. Its okay, here I give free for you."

Kiara gently shoved the paper cup filled with delicious lemonade to her. Alice felt like a thunder stricken her that very moment. She lost words to encounter Kiara's.

Alice: "Hmm!" She just left Kiara and then went to the basketball court with her friends.

Kiara just shook her head and then continued her lemonade sales by calling the people across the road.

Kiara: "Cold Lemonade! Only one dollar! Get your cold lemonade only 1 dollar!"

As the weather was sunny that day, many people came to her mini stall. Most of her customers were the hard die fans of the basketball fan. While they having the drinks they excitedly looking at the pictures they had taken during the practice.

The fans were sitting next to her stall.

"You are so adorable! What is you name little girl?" One of the fan asking her.

Kiara: "My name is something that I cannot reveal to anyone."

She just said it plainly and then continued to pour the paper cup with the lemonade juice.

They all looked at her and then they just realized she was so cute.

"Why is that so little girl? Why can't ou reveal your name?" The girl kept asking her trying to get her name.

Kiara: "You can call me Meow Meow." Said Kiara and she just smiled to them.

"Ouuwwwch!! So cute!!" They all fell in love with her instantly. They took photos with her and bought some baby carrots from her.

Kiara: "Do you know the tomato can give you good skin?"

"Really?" They asked her back.

Kiara: "Yeah, you can try to eat them everyday, then you'll see you skin will glowing like me!"

They all laughed out loud and they really impressed with her confident. They bought all the veggies from her. She was so happy because she could sell everything that day.
