Sunshine's POV
I got sad when I did not see Greyson the next day. I don't know why.
It's understandable that he's not at the park because it was saturday.
On the bright side my playmates are here! It was so nice that one of the parents bought me chocolate ice cream.
Overall the start of my weekend was going smoothly. I was happy.
Or so I thought.
The next day while I was doing my business I was shock to find out that my eco bag was gone. To my luck my flipflop was also inside the bag.
I look for it everywhere but I can't find it. I ask all the volunteers but all of them told me they did not see it.
I slump on the floor.
What should I do now? I have nothing left. I look at my clothes and realize that I need to change it already because it's filthy but how? I have no other clothes.
I perk up when I realize that the shelter has extra clothes.
Not all hope are lost.
I hope whoever got my bag they put it to good use.
I stand up and run to Miss Lorna's office.
I politely knock on her door. I press my ear on the door and wait for her reply.
"Come in"
I open the door and peek inside if she's busy. I don't want to disturb her.
"Miss Lorna are you busy?" I ask in a small voice.
"No honey. Come in."
I went inside and close her door silently.
"What can I do for you Sunshine?"
I look down and play the hem of my dress.
"I am just wondering if I can borrow some clothes? Becasue someone took my bag."
I try not to cry. Let it go Sunshine. Someone needs it more than you do that's why they took it. I remind myself.
I was shock when Miss Lorna hugged me.
"Oh honey. I am so sorry that happened. There's no dresses in our storage but there are lots of shirts and shorts if that's okay."
I nodded enthusiastically. It's better than nothing.
"Thank you miss Lorna!" I hug her tightly and skip to the storage area.
All the clothes are double my size. I am so happy that there are new underwear that fits my me. I took only one pair of shirt and shorts. Others might need it more than me.
I also found a big slippers. I look like a clown and it was so funny when I look in the mirror.
I was folding my dress when I saw something peeking out at the side of my dress.
I took it out and found out it was the card that Mr. Bradford and Greyson gave me.
Oh my Gee! I forgot that I remove it from my bag because I was trying to read the name of Sir Bradford last night which is Blake by the way.
Maybe I should visit Greyson in his office on monday for a change? Will he get mad?
I am anxiously waiting for monday to come.
I ask Miss Lorna to sketch a map so I can go to Greyson's office.
I don't know why but Miss Lorna started to sweat a lot when she read the black card of Greyson. I raise my hand in front of the AC to see if it is working and it does.
I heard that when a person sweats a lot she needs to go to the bathroom to poop.
Maybe she has those constimation? I forgot that long word.
Miss Lorna explained everything so I'll not get lost tomorrow.
I thank her and promise that I'll be careful.
I need to wake up early because it was far maybe close to 2 hours of walk.
Next day.
I woke up at 6am. The volunteer woke me up and she hand me my chicken sandwich and water.
I thank her and starts to walk towards Greyson's office.
In the middle of my journey I eat my sandwhich and drink my water.
I was so fascinated because this side of New York is different. It's funny but it's more busier and I can see that the shops are selling expensive stuffs.
All people here are wearing suits of various kinds.
I stand out in a sea of formal outfits.
I did not feel left out. Some of them even smile at me. Can you believe it?
I reach a very tall building that I can't even see the top. Is this it?
I check my map and it said that I am on the right place.
I look at the 6 intimidating hulk in front of the building.
Here goes nothing.
I walk to one of them and poke him in his arm to get his attention.
When sir hulk number 1 look down I smile at him and show him Greyson's card.
"Please?" I said in a small voice.
He gently get the card and read it.
He press something in his ear and said "Empress on Groundfloor."
Another hulk appeared out nowhere and nodded towards me.
I point at myself and mouthed "me?"
He nodded. I thank sir hulk number 1, I wave at the rest of the guard at the front and followed sir hulk number 2 inside.
Wow. The floor's black but I can see my reflection. There's a huge hanging light in the middle of the ceiling.
I wonder if I am allowed swing from up there.
I can see that the people at this floor is staring at me. Can't blame them. I look odd compared to them.
"Does Greyson know I am here?" I ask sir Hulk.
"No." He simply answered.
Oh I hope I will not disturb him.
He lead me to a small metal box. I look at him curiously.
"Elevator Miss." He explained.
Oh. Owkie. I know the word but it's the first for me to ride it. This is exciting.
When it starts to move I can't help but hold on to sir Hulk's arm.
"We're not gonna die riding this thing right?" I ask him nervously.
"No ma'am." He assured.
We reach a certain floor and it's so sparkly. There are paintings hanging on the wall and a marbke desk on my left. I can see that there's a room on the far left.
A tall lean man welcomed us with a smile.
"Hello I am Kurt. You can enter. Mr. Rosen-Hower is not busy at the moment."
"Oh no. I don't know a Rosen-Hower. I am here to visit Greyson."
Kurt smiled pleasantly and Sir Hulk nudge me towards a wall.
Huh? Should I smash this wall just to enter the room? Is Door not available on this side of New York?
Kurt knock and a concealed door slides to the left.
"What the?" I whispered. Sir Hulk and Kurt left me so I entered cautiously.
I did not prepare for the sight that welcomes me.
Greyson's seriously reading a book and in his right hand he's holding a chocolate bar. He did not even look up when I step inside.
"Knock knock?" I said meekly.
I was surprise when Greyson look up so fast that I am sure he'll get a whipflash.
He stands up immediately and walk towards me slowly.
I did not even notice that his door is already close.
Greyson stops in front of me and cutely poke my cheek with his finger tip.
I smile brightly at him.
"Surprise?" I said shyly.
I can see different emotions showing in his eyes and I am sure that happiness is the dominant one.
He did not answer me and he engulf me in his warm and comforting hugs.
I giggle when I was lifted off from the floor.
"Put me down! I might fall." I said.
"I'll catch you." I froze.
Did he. Did he just talk?
He did right?
