"What's the rule of law?" Kendra looked puzzled.
"Prick K with a needle, she mince you with a knife"
( It's lame, I know)
"Sister Kathy, you are not K, she's someone you admire and you can't steal her line"
"You sure?" Katherine asked with a smirk.
"Wha..." Kendra stood there confused with one of her eyebrows raised.
"Come on, let's go"

Ian sat on his bed looking lost in thoughts. He stood up and walked to his drawer, he opened it with a key and picked up the picture of a little girl. She had deep red hair and was smiling at something; only her side profile was captured, she was dressed in a cute princess dress with a red teddy in her hand. Her features couldn't be seen clearly as the picture was blurry and it seems the person who took the photo took it secretly.
Ian held the phone and sat on his bed
"Claudine..." The name escaped from his lips as he stared at the photo.
"Ian, wait for me!" A little girl in a blue dress ran across the garden chasing a boy who was at the front and she looked around four or five. As she ran, the wind blew scattering her deep red hair all over her face, she removed it over and over again. Her dress also moved around in the wind so she held it. The boy in front didn't even bother to turn as he continued to walk farther. She seemed to be 10 years old.
"Ian please, hold on!" She walked our but the boy didn't bother to turn. As she got closer to the boys she didn't notice the stone in front of her and tripped over it.
"Aaah!" She shouted as she fell to the floor.
The boy immediately turned back revealing his handsome face. A frown drew on his face as she saw the girl on the floor.
"Tch, you are not always careful and can never behave like a girl, Which girl runs around like you?. Let me see'
He bent down abs held the girl's leg which had a scratch and little blood seeped out.
"If you had waited for me, I would have been more careful and besides, I told you that I am a boy in the body of a girl" She said and her words were not exactly clear -she pronounced 'besides ' as 'beshides'- her eyes were clouded with tears and her cute face was red in soon but she refused to let any tear fall.
"Come on, let's go inside, let me apply first aid"
Ian said pulling her up but she fell down back to the ground. She looked at the boy with pleading eyes.
"Stop it. You need to get your wound treated" Ian said because he knew what she wanted.
She didn't say anything but continued to stare at him.
"Fine then, stay on the ground" He threw her hands harshly and started to walk away when she exclaimed again.
"It hurts!, my hand, ouch!"
Ian turned back and saw her fair knuckles were bleeding due to the impact it landed on the ground.
"Ian, look what you've caused" she cried showing her bleeding knuckles to him.
"It's because you are too weak." He said but still walked towards her and bent down signalling her to climb his back. "Sigh. Come on"
She smiled happily and quickly climbed his back.
"Ian walk faster"
"I'll throw you down"
"No, you won't, if you do, I'll report you yo aunty"
"You are just naughty"
"Hmph, serves you right for injuring me"
"When did I..."
(They are so cute)
Their voices faded away and everything became dark.
