Chapter 8: Drawing.
Leon took another bite on the cookie he is holding on his hand. " It was the metal box that your mother used to make these cookies, Carla. "
" Metal box? You mean the white box, Leon? Mommy didn't want me to get near it because she said it is very hot. So that's oven. " Carla nodded in realization. " You really knows a lot of things, Leon. But I will not lose to you! "
" That's right. My Carla is really the best, so smart. "
" *giggles* "
Carla let out another cute laugh before she once again continued eating. She was holding a big cupcake in her right hand and a cookie in her left hand. She's eating them alternately.
Leon also continued eating his food while watching Carla munching her snacks. Her appearance right now is just so cute and Leon can't help but stare at her.
Thirty minutes passed by just like that and their break time was over. The students are also done eating their food so they once again continued what they were doing before.
After seeing what Leon had written on the board, they also wanted to do the same or at least near it.
This was especially the case for Mark. He already set Leon as his idol, so he wanted to be as good as him. There are already more than twenty pages of paper beside him full of 'Aa' written on them but he still continue writing. He's becoming better and better as he continued.
Seeing how dedicated her students are, teacher Jennifer was of course happy as well. She's very clear that part of it was because of Leon. Having a role model in class was really effective. As she fell silent, Jennifer started thinking about what to do in the following days.
At 11:30 am, the class ended once again. But before she ended her class, Jennifer told them to continue writing at home. Only after saying that did she let her students leave.
Again, Carla and Leon stayed inside the room as they wait for their parents to picked them up. Leon grew up in this city so he knows how to go back home by his own. But still, he never entertained that idea because he didn't want his mother to get worried.
After awhile, Christina finally arrived and called both Leon and Carla.
" Mom, can we wait for a little more? Carla's mother wasn't here yet so I want to stay with her and wait. " Leon requested.
" Is that so? Fine then. Let's wait a bit more. "
" Thanks mom. "
The three of them then sat on the bench just outside the room and waited there. After awhile, Carla's grandmother arrived. It seems like Pauline was busy again today so she can't come here to picked Carla up personally. She exchange pleasantries with Christina before taking Carla with her. Leon and Christina also did the same and went home.

Inside the house.
After they are done eating their lunch, Leon once again took a bath before he went inside his room to sleep. But before that, he first took out a notebook from his storage ring and wrote a 'Diary' on the front cover.
He then opened the note book and started writing everything that have happened today. After doing all of that, Leon put a title above. 'Day 1'
It's Day 1 because he hasn't thought of having a Diary yet yesterday. Leon's reason for writing a diary was Carla. He wanted to write everything the two of them did during their childhood and how they interacted with each other. Who knows, but perhaps this Diary will be their own personal treasure in the future.
After doing all of that, Leon put his Diary inside his storage ring as he laid down on his bed and fell asleep.
Around an hour later, Leon's mother Christina went inside his room and put some things on top of his table. She took another glance at her son sleeping on the bed and smiled before she once again went out of the room.
Time passed by while he's sleeping.
At around 4 pm in the afternoon, Leon woke up and started stretching his body.
He felt refreshed and relaxed after having that nap. Being able to have an easy life like this is really enjoyable for him. No homeworks, no problem sets, no complicated problems ect... a pure bliss!
Although being inside a 5 years old kid's body was a bit troublesome, it was also very enjoyable and relaxing. Especially for someone like Leon whom had experienced too many sleepless nights just so that he can finished all of the school projects and other things he needed to do as a college student.
Leon went off his bed and was about to go out of the room to look for his mother when he suddenly noticed that there are new things on top of his table. He knew that those things are not there before he sleep so he went closer to see what they are.
Leon saw a rim of short bond papers, different colored ballpens, markers, oil pastels and many more. All of the things he asked his mother to buy for him yesterday was there along with other drawing materials.
Leon also saw a small box that has an Electronic Brick Game device printed on it. Having experienced the fun of Android Phones, PsP, PlayStation etc in his past life, Leon doubts that this old school device can still entertain him. But since his mother already bought it, then he has to used it or at least showed his mother that he's playing with it.
Aside from the Brick Game, Leon put the other things inside his storage ring before he went out of the room.
He went to the kitchen and saw his mother there sitting on the chair while writing something on the piece of paper in front of her. If his guess was right, then those paper was a list of items his mother will need to buy for today.
" You're going to go out, mom? "
" Hmm, you're up already? "
" Mn. Where are you going, mom? "
" I need to buy food for our dinner. How's your sleep? " Christina continue staring at the list in front of her making sure that she did not forget anything.
" I had a good sleep, mom. I'm feeling great at this moment. " said Leon before giving his mother a hug. " Thank you for the things you bought for me mom. I love you. "
" You're very welcome, Leon. You deserved those things because you studied hard. I'm glad you like them. " Christina then started caressing her son's hair. She's happy to know that Leon liked the things she gave him.
" Mn. I really like them mom. Especially this Electronic Brick Game because I can share it to Carla during our break time at school. " .
" Oh, it's seems like you really like your new friend huh. Can you tell me why? "
" Because she's so cute and adorable. Carla is the first friend I made in school so she's special to me. And.. I also don't have any siblings so perhaps that's the reason I like her very much, mom. " Leon honestly answered. He also don't know why but everytime he's together with Carla, he always felt comfortable and relaxed.
" I see. So that's why. But Leon, you have to promised me first that you will only play that game during your break time and not when you still have a class, is that clear? "
" I know mom. I promise. "
" Okay then, what do you want to eat for dinner? "
" Hmm.. Can I have some street food mom? "
" Nope, not possible. You are still too young so you have to eat healthy foods. "
" Then, I'll leave it to you mom. I'll eat whatever you make later. "
" Are you sure Leon? "
" Yes. "
" Okay then. I'll go to the market first so you stay here inside the house and don't go outside okay? I'll comeback as soon as possible. "
" Okay mom. Take care. "
...
Inside Leon's room.
* sigh *
" This game is really boring. " Leon put the the Brick Game device on the side. " Staying inside the house is also boring. If only I am older, perhaps mom would allow me to go outside alone? "
He's genuinely bored being in this house alone. No internet, no computers, no mobile phone!
" What should I do then? There are no internet here. If I remember it correctly, even internet shops were still as rare as phoenix feather at this time. I also can't go outside. If only Carla was here. * sigh * It seems like I am missing that adorable girl already. "
Leon looked around his room while trying to find something to do that might entertain him but failed.
" Perhaps I'll just draw then.... But what should I draw? " He asked himself and a small figure appeared in his mind. " Mn. I'll draw her then. "
After saying that, Leon went to the dining room and sat in front of the table. He first checked the table if it's not wet or dirty before taking out the bond papers and pencil from his storage ring and started drawing.
Around thirty minutes later.
Leon lifted the bond paper up and looked at it for awhile before saying, " Hmm.. Not bad. I'm sure she will like it. I'll make another one. "
Leon carefully placed his first drawing on the side before taking another piece of bond paper and continued drawing.
