“Mia! Here you go!” Mrs Green said as she placed the bowl on the table in front of me.
“Thank you.” I thanked her.
I started eating, hoping for her to leave.
I looked up at her when she didn’t leave and found her staring at me.
“Umm…it’s tasty.” I said and smiled uncomfortably.
“Thank you, dear.” She said smiling.
I looked back at my food. She kept staring at me.
I looked up at her even though I don’t want to.
“Have you eaten?” I asked her.
“I will eat later.” She replied.
“That’s not happening! Let’s eat together!” I said smiling.
“No, I will eat later.” She said again.
“Come on! Please! Let’s eat together!” I insisted.
“Okay! I will go get my bowl.” She said giving up.
She left the room.
Did I make a mistake by asking her to wait with me? But, she was not leaving! And I felt like she won’t leave because she wanted to talk to me about something. And I know what that might be.
I sighed deeply.
When did it get this hard to face Mrs Green?! How did we come to this?!
