Hazel has completed kindergarten and at the graduation party she had proudly declared that she will become a fairy godmother once she grows up.
Today will be her first day at the big kids school. She was admitted to the same school as her brother, Travis.
The whole house was running around Hazel to get her ready but she was not willing to step out of the bathtub.
"Hazel, come out. We are going to be late," Ava snapped.
"Mama, bubbles bubbles," Hazel was busy playing with the soap foam.
Ava had no patience to argue with her and lifted her out of the tub. Hazel started screaming and crying.
"Enough! Keep quiet and wear your uniform," Ava yelled as she headed to the closet to get her clothes.
Tristan entered the room excitedly, only to see his darling daughter crying. He frowned as he noticed Hazel's face turning red.
"Shh… stop crying. What happened to you," Tristan swiped Hazel's tears.
"Dada…", Hazel hugged Tristan tightly as she faced her mother.
"Mama bad. Play bubbles," Hazel pointed at her mother's angry face.
"Oh really? Who is good? Your father who lets you do anything?" Ava raised her brow.
"Love dada. No mama," Hazel pouted.
"Let her…," Tristan was interrupted by his wife.
"No Tristan, she cannot skip school today. There will be orientation and it's a good chance for her to meet all her new friends," Ava knew that her daughter's actions could easily melt Tristan's heart, and he would do anything for her.
"You have not eaten anything since you woke up, at least drink a cup of coffee," I will make her ready," Tristan stated.
"Be quick," Ava left the pair to go to the dining room.
"See, dada is also wearing a tie. Now be good and put on this tie," Tristan smoothly made Hazel agree to all his demands.
Tristan helped Hazel put on the clothes and after packing her school bag, they came downstairs.
Travis was already sitting on the dining table having breakfast. There was a social studies textbook in front of him and he was flipping through it to get ready for his first class. After coming second in the previous test, he was very cautious and put double the effort in his academics.
"How many times I have told you not to do anything aside from eating. Concentrate on your chewing otherwise you will have indigestion," Tristan closed the textbook.
After breakfast, the whole family drove to the school. Tristan and Ava personally wanted to see Hazel and Travis off, as it was the first day of school.
"Don't do any mischief, and if you encounter any problem tell your teacher," Ava stated but Hazel was rolling her tie and did not pay any attention to her mother.
"Hazel, are you listening to me?" Ava asked and Hazel blinked her eyes innocently, pretending innocence.
"Don't worry, I have talked with the teacher and everything will be alright. Even Travis will be there to look after her," Tristan squeezed Ava's shoulder.
"Dad, I promise to protect my sister," Travis said determinedly.
Last Night his father called him to the study and gave him a number of instructions regarding his sister's safety.
"I know, don't come to see her in between your classes check upon her during your free time. Remember your studies should not be affected at any cost," Tristan ruffled Travis' hair.
"Dad, cake," Hazel demanded her father to get her favorite red velvet cake.
Tristan sighed and replied, "Now? The shop is still closed,it opens during tea time. It will be available by the time your classes end. I will buy your favorite cake later."
Ava hugged Hazel and planted kisses on her cheeks, "Take care my princess."
After convincing her for a long time, Hazel eventually went inside the school, holding Travis' hand.
"We never had so much trouble sending Travis to school," Ava leaned on Tristan's shoulder.
"What to do ,our princess is very demanding and stubborn," Tristan put his hand on her waist.
"She's just like you," Ava scowled.
"Tell me who kicked a fuss yesterday because her new dress was missing?" Tristan teased.
"I bought that dress particularly for my new exhibition, but the maid moved it to the store room."
Ava panicked when she could not find her dress and had called Tristan in the middle of his meeting. He had calmed her down and told her to remember where she left the dress last time.
Then it flashed in Ava's memory that the dress was beside the donation box. The same box she asked the maid to keep in the store room for the next visit to the orphanage.
"Sometimes I feel like I am raising three children," Tristan chuckled.
As soon as the lunch bell rang, Travis ran to Hazel's classroom ignoring his friends calling him to join their lunch table.
Hazel had already made two friends and was now sharing her chocolate with them.
"Brother…", Hazel screamed as soon as she spotted Travis at the door.
"No one will have chocolate in both hands," Travis saw that she had smeared chocolate all over her face.
So he took a napkin and wiped her face and hands while Hazel was telling the girl sitting next to her something about her Barbie doll.
Travis opened the lunch box and passed the spoon to Hazel, but she was lazy and refused to take it and asked him to feed her, so he did. After lunch Hazel showed him her drawing which the teacher had awarded an A.
"Wow, this is so pretty. Our Hazel is very talented," Travis pinched her cheeks.
"Yes, the best," Hazel giggled hearing the praise.
Travis went back to his classroom and had his lunch quickly as he only had twenty minutes left before his break ended.
Enzo was going to his football practice when he spotted Hazel coming out of the classroom. He told his teammates he would join the game later.
