Leona's POV
"L-Leona," I stuttered.
"That's a nice name," Robin said.
"Thanks," I mumbled.
"So," Robin said, as he sat down beside me. "Care to tell me a little 'bout yourself?"
"I-I guess," I said quietly.
I quickly told Robin an overview of my life. Once I had finished, Robin sat their with his mouth wide open.
"T-That's..... crazy," Robin said.
"I...I..." I whispered, a tear rolling down my face.
Before I could say anything, Robin wrapped his arm around me. That's when the real downfall came. I started to cry a lot! But, Robin didn't say anything or take his arm away.
"Are you ok?" Robin asked, after a while.
"Y-Yeah," I said, quietly. "Robin, I'm so sorry! I guess-"
"There's no need to be sorry," Robin interrupted. "You've been through a lot. It's ok to cry; heck, I probably would have bawled my eyes out billions of times! You're strong; and cute as all heck!"
"T-Thank you," I said, my cheeks burning like fire. "C-Can we be f-friends?"
"Of course!" Robin said, surprised. "Who wouldn't want to be friends with a cute, tough girl like you?"
"Oh, stop it, you!" I cried, giving Robin a shove. "You're making me blush!"
"I'm afraid I have to!" Robin said, with a chuckle. "I've gotta get home for supper."
"Well, it was nice meeting you!" I said, happily.
"You to!" Robin said. "Later, Leona!"
"Later, Robin!" I shouted, waving him off.
