บท 185: Playing pretend

Scarlet and Jaden took the secretary's words seriously. He had said they should make friends. That their mommy would be happy if they did.

The other kids in the kindergarten weren't that interesting, so they spent most of their time playing with each other or alone, just like at home. Still, the others wouldn't do the same...

«They seem to have fun with little,» Scarlet whispered to her brother, observing the other kids from afar. «Do you think we can really be part of their group?»

«I don't know... Their games are boring.»

«How are the games?» Scarlet asked, her eyes shining with curiosity.

«Boring.»

«But what do they play?»

«I don't know.»

«We can pretend it's fun,» she tried. «So mommy will be happy.»
