Determined

When she was playing in front of the main gate of the orphanage. She saw some boys going somewhere with a book in their hands. So she was curious. But she didn't ask them first. Just wanted to listen to what they talk.

But they didn't talk anything and walked away. She comes there every day to see them. But she didn't muster the courage to ask them. But she just wait for them to talk about the book they also had in their hand.

NIERA was just curious about the book. But She also can't see the book. For ten days she waited for them to talk and listen to them. But they just walked away faster than she thought. Then one day she can't wait for an asked them curiously,

"What that book is in your hand?"

Hearing her, they stopped and looked at her. She asked happily and was looking cute.

"Why?"

One of them asked.

"I am just curious. Can you tell me about your book? Can I also read that book in your hand?"

She was so curious that she couldn't stop questioning.

"You?"

The other person said while looking down at her.

"What?"

Seeing that he is disdaining her, she didn't look sad. But just wanted to hear what they said.

"You want to read our book. Are you worthy of it? Say, where do you live?"

He asked disrespectfully and haughtily.

Hearing that, she looked disappointed. But even though she didn't become dispirited.

"Hey, I am asking a question. Where do you live?"

"I live in that orphanage."

She said while showing them to the orphanage.

"Hahaha. You are an orphanage but you want to read our book."

He said while laughing at her.

"What's wrong with reading your book? Only you can read books. Can't also read the book?"

She said looking at the ground while being sad. But she didn't show them. That when they are looking down on her, she was sad. If she looks sad then they will accomplish what they want.

"In your dream. Go away from here. We don't want to see you again in front of us."

He said angrily.

"Hey, Jun. Let's go."

The other person said.

Then they went from there. She was standing there for a long time until the sun goes down. But she didn't cry even if she was sad. She was strong.

Then she went to her room. The next day, she went there and was standing behind a tree. So that they can't see her. After some time both boys were going there.

They were looking around to see if she was there or not.

"Luckily, that girl is not here. She was pretty but wants to read. Ah, who has no parents but wants to read the book."

The named Jun boy sighed and thought.

"Hey, smith. Did you write your homework?"

"Yes. Why? I write every day. If I don't write then the school will expel me."

He answered.

"Expelled you? Why? Who said that?"

Jun was curious and asked.

"My neighbor's little boy."

"But you won't get expelled if you don't write your homework."

"It's not true. If you don't read your book and write homework. You won't get a higher number. And if you get a lower number then the school will expel you. That's why you have to get a higher number."

Smith said seriously.

"Hmm, what you make sense also right? From now on I will get a higher number. Then the school won't expel me."

Jun said while standing in one place. Smith didn't see that he was standing there.

"Now don't talk anymore. Let's go to school. Also, school is fun. So I want to go quickly there. There have so many friends."

Saying this, smith looked at her bedside. But he didn't see Jun and looked behind.

"Hey, Jun. What are you doing? Let's hurry to school. If we are late then the teachers will be angry at us."

He shouted. Jun looked around and said,

"Coming."

Then he run over to where Smith was standing.

They went from there. NIERA came out from behind the tree. She heard everything of their conversation. Her eyes become bright like a light lit up on her eyes.

"So they go to school every day. And that boy Smith said, school is fun. Then I will also go to that fun place and read many books there."

She muttered happily and went inside the orphanage. Then she went to find the teacher, Olivia. When she was running through the corridor there was Lily and her follower. They saw Niera and started to laugh at her with some harsh words.

"Oh my, isn't this our bookworm? So why are you running here? You don't know how to become a girl, right? Do you want to boy now? But it is impossible you know. A girl can't become a boy."

"Hahaha. So you want to become a boy. Hahaha"

The others said and laughed at her.

"So boring."

Saying this, Niera was going to go from there. Suddenly someone who followed Lily grabbed Niera's hair and pulled her hair hard.

"Ahh."

Niera made a sound in pain and start crying loudly.

Camila and Leo came there and started to shout.

"Teacher, teacher, they are pulling Niera's hair so hard. Please come here."

"Teacher won't come to save her today."

Lily and others said.

"Then we can help her."

Saying this, Camila and Leo also started to pull the girl's hair who was pulling Niera's hair. Now four of them were pulling the hair of each other. That girl started to cry. Seeing her crying the others also joined them.

Hearing them, another teacher came there and saw them pulling the hair off each other.

"What are you all doing here? Now all of you stand up in line."

He was angry to see them. Seeing him their eyes widened. They all actually fear this teacher. This teacher is not that good. If he gets angry then he will punish them all. They stopped pulling the hair off each other hearing him they stand up in line.

"Who started this?"

"Niera."

Lily said.

"I didn't. That girl started to pull my hair."

Niera said loudly. The teacher looked at her angry eyes. Niera was afraid of seeing his angry eyes.

"She said truth, sir. We saw she was the one who first started to pull her hair."

Camila said. He looked at her with cold eyes.

"She said the truth, sir."

Leo said.

"You three go and stay in your room. You won't get any food today."

Teacher said.

"Hahaha. Serves you right. Who told you to get so high? You will get this kind of result if you try to get so high with me."

Lily said arrogantly.

The teacher heard that.

"You five also won't get food today. I will tell the cafeteria. How dare you all disturb me."

"Sir, we didn't do anything. Why are you punishing us?"

They said.

"You all let down our orphanage. Someone came today to adopt a child and you all tried to tarnish our orphanage's name. So all of you will get punishment. Now go to your name. If I see any of you today then I will beat you all."

He said angrily and went from there.

"So someone came here to adopt a child. Then it will be me. No one can be. I am the most intelligent and beautiful girl here. So I will be the one who will get out of this damn orphanage."

Lily muttered with expected eyes. Like she was the most beautiful girl in the world.

No one got food that day. In the evening, their stomach growling.

"I am hungry. It's all their fault. I won't forgive them"

Leo and Camila said.

Niera took out two pieces of bread and give them.

"Where did you get the bread?"

Camila and Leo asked.

"I didn't eat bread the last two days and stored it. Let's eat these today. We don't have to starve today."

"What you didn't eat the bread the last two days. Then what did you eat."

They asked seriously.

"I ate only soup. It was enough for me. My stomach is little."

Niera said and was thinking about the past.

In the past, Lily and her follower took her bread when they saw her eating bread. So she always keeps her bread out of their sight. So that she can eat food when they won't let her eat food the day. She can't tell them. They will fight with them again. If they fight then they will be beaten up. Lily is ten years old and they are only six to seven. So they can't do anything.

Also, Lily is a cunning girl. It will be bad for Niera, Camila, and Leo. So Niera won't tell them.

"Will you eat or not? If not then I will eat alone."

Niera said with a serious face.

"No, no we will eat up. One bread is for you and the other will divide for us."

They said.

"No, both are for you two. I have another."

Then she took out another piece of bread and started to eat. Seeing her eating they also started to eat. They talked and laughed with each other. It was like a harmonious family of three of them. It was fun for Niera.

"I will go to school and become stronger than them. Then no one will harm me."

Niera thought. She was determined. It was shown on her face.

She is just only six but she was determined than others what she wants.
