Chapter42
Kelly nodded.
“Thank you, Kelly.” Ashley smiled at Sam. “What should you do?”
Sam said to Kelly, “I’m sorry.”
Kelly shyly said, “It’s okay…”
Ashley was relieved. She took them to the classroom. The teacher took Kelly. Ashley knelt beside Sam. Alright, you should go to class. Don’t be afraid.”
Sam wasn’t shy or afraid. He didn’t care what others thought. He just didn’t want Ashley to leave. He hugged her, saying, “Mom…”
“Yes?”
“I…” He wanted to say that he missed her cooking, but he thought of Tanya’s race. His eyes flickered.“Nothing.” He could eat Mom’s cooking anytime, but Tanya’s race wasn’t often. He chose Tanya.
“Okay, go ahead. Don’t keep the teacher waiting.”
