Head, shoulder, knees and toes...
THERES is happy to move. She was accompanying that children's music. She likes to dance that. Her mother and father also like to have her dance with that nursery ryhme.
"Oh, you're dancing that again! Hey, Therese, you're too old for that kinder music!" The other two children who were always with that child who spoke, laughed.
These kids have always just despised her when she's dancing. In fact, they have always been like that since they were young. There is no other shit if she is not. They are the same age. Yes and they are no longer kinder, but what is wrong with dancing to that music? The music is enticing to dance. Then her mother said, as long as you don't step on anyone with something you like and you're happy to do it, just keep going.
"Beside that. It's really annoying to see you," Tatianna said angrily to her.
She is her cousin.
They are both eight years old but Therese can't say that they get along because since she started thinking, Tatianna has always been angry with her. For reasons she did not know.
Therese's father jokingly said that this cousin of her was angry with her because she was much more beautiful and smarter here. That she just laughed on. Of course, that's just a joke. She understands that her father only eases her hurting ego every time her only cousin treats her like that.
They got along when they were only four years old. She didn't know and when Tatianna started to feel bad about her. She didn't seem to want to be seen, she didn't want to play suddenly. As she grew older, she was alone and without a playmate. How could she not want to go out of the house to play and so did the children with her. She will be told that she is stupid, stupid ...
"I CAN'T believe that of all people you're the one who's at my front right nowl!" Hera pushed Therese violently.
In the distance earlier, she saw Hera's group. Therese avoided them, she even sidestepped even though there was only a short distance to pass and the four women blocked the way to their classroom, she was still really able to be noticed and pushed by them-- she then fell on her friend, Fatima ...
"Ew!" Fatima pushed her towards Arielle ...
"Yuck! There you are! You idiot!"
"Hey, don't you dare!" Tricia's eyes glazed over at her.
It was as if it was Therese's fault that her three friends had turned her into a ball.
Because she was petite, she immediately lost her balance. Even more, Hera deliberately pushed her again --- she pulled the bag she had slung behind her, then let it slide towards her. Therese fell to the floor. That if she didn’t build her palms immediately on the cement, she would face to face the cement for sure. She just stood up and rubbed her knees, then she left his classmates laughing. That way Therese makes them happy every day.
"TATIANNA, that's your cousin, oh!"
"Oh no, I don't like her. Look at me, is she this beautiful?"
With a straight bow, Therese just passed the group of cousins ​​Tatianna. She met them in the school cafeteria.
"Hey, Therese, do you see anything else you're going through?"
"She's used to dark!"
"Hey! She had a monsters friends too!"
"Maybe she's a monster's lover!"
Again the students laughed as they met Therese. Sadly for her is her cousin Tatianna was belongs to those who laughed. The feeling that she wish there was at least one, even her, after all they are related to each other, she wish it would at least favor her. But no. Her cousin chose to join those who bullied her personality.
In all of that Therese remained silent. She once hit back to the people like this when she was in grade 3, it didn't do any good either. Her father even scolded her because she came home crying. Her mother, on the other hand, admonished him not to succumb to temptations. The word is not deadly. But now that Therese is a teenager, she thought how could it not be deadly? Why does she seem to have trouble breathing whenever everyone around is insults her? Even though she doesn't do anything with them.
She is not behind on these. Therese clapped her hands in remembrance of her mother who had just died. That was another thing that intensified how she felt now. Whenever everyone was having fun with her, the constant reminder to be kind to people like those around her now came to her mind ...
"OH gross, if you could just see how she killed that cat yesterday, you'll be horrified!"
"Sheeet! That's enough, that's creepy!"
"They also say 'in that case ... there is a tendency to be kille--"
"Who's the killer?" Ashey's crowded students shuddered when they saw her.
They still seem to be terrified. When Ashey looked back at who the students were looking at, it turned out that Therese was behind her. It was at the same time that she walked into the classroom? She didn't even notice. Therese didn't even greet her. She's really a very shy and quiet child.
"All of you, class, back to your seats!" Ashey wakes up her students.
"Yes, Teacher!" Simultaneously her students responded that you thought they were really kind and obedient.
She just smiled secretly at the thoughts in her mind. As usual, there is nothing to be satisfied with if it is not for Therese Nuevo. Luckily and She doesn’t see Therese’s violent reactions to the bullies she receives. The child does not seem to care.
She was the same way then. Called soy weird, freak, idiot and crazy. Even worse was she locked on the locker room where the children were still filled with prayers in the morning, noon, afternoon and evening of the nuns-- in the orphanage where she grew up.
She once talked to Therese about bullying. It looks like she's just listening and nodding. So he knew that Therese could handle it too. Just consider bullies a big obstacle that everyone overcomes because really, there is no perfect person. And Ashey believes that the bullies have their own bullie too. Even if they haven't found it yet, in the future, it's waiting. But she will admit that it hurts her eyes and chest to see the child herself with Therese, so she doesn’t pay attention to them, to her too. Ashey said to herself, just don't let her see them hurt Therese. Besides, Therese had a loving mother. It's still considered a luck somehow.
Ashey envies children whose parents specifically have a mother like Therese’s mother. She had only met Therese' mother once, but she was sure she had a good motherly heart. Unlike her mother ... She was able to be given away as if she were a puppy adopted by a neighbor because there were many puppies and the one who was given was not missing.
MY TOES, my knees, my shoulder, my head ...
Feet, knees, shoulders, head ...
My toes, my knees, my shoulder, my head ..
Paa, tuhod...
Adolfo was still far away when he heard that music. It's like a remix and the English and Tagalog versions are interchangeable. In a fast way, the singer seemed to be rapping. He knew that Therese liked that nursery rhyme, but only now did he hear that her daughter no longer played that nursery rhyme. Is there a new version that is really like that at this time? Alas, if that were the case, it would be better for Therese to stop playing that and have a headache!
"What's all this nonsense, Therese? Why are you playing like that on your cell phone?"
"Dad!" Therese ran to hug her father who had just arrived.
"You kid, stop playing like that. It's gives an ache to head," Adolfo said to his daughter in a gentle way.
What had annoyed him before was like a bubble that disappeared, now that the child is hugging her. They also did not see each other for a few days and even he missed the child.
"I was already asleep when you came. I didn't notice that the music was broken."
"It's broken because you can't stop listening and playing it..."
