walnuts

Looking at them, they were obviously less than 10yrs, and they were already this rude. They had the British accent which showed that they went to good schools, because only good schools taught children quality english.

The maid quickly answered, she's Chief's apprentice your mum's stylist.

Oh! They looked at her with disdain an ordinary apprentice yet she acted like the queen of england. They both laughed

Sophia wanted to talk but was quickly pulled out of the room by the maid. I'm so sorry miss just ignore them don't say anything, just go upstairs, those kids shouldn't be messed with, they can possibly ruin your life, so pls ignore them.

Oh really. Sophia scoffed, she smiled took the snacks and went back to the studio.

Is everything okay? Mrs robinson asked when she saw sophia.

Yes everything is fine.

Some minutes passed and the makeup artist came, she smiled a lot and was very submissive. Sophia could tell that she was used to the system of this house.

She sneaked glances at sophia a lot, you have a nice face and your eyes are pretty too. Oh! Thank you sophia said shyly.

I'd like to do a photoshoot with you. Don't worry, I'll only capture your face, I'd like to test different products, you have the right face for it.

Mrs robinson frowned when she saw that her makeup artist was interested in Chief's apprentice.

Sophia was about to give a reply when mrs robinson interrupted her. Sophia give this to the maid I want her to get these stuff for me, go quickly, you can wait for her to get it.

Sophia really didn't want to go back there and meet those kids again, but it seemed their meeting was bound to happen, she took the list and went downstairs.

When she got there she saw them playing games. that console wasn't there when she came, they were obviously looking for a way to be around and torture these people and she knew, she was now top on their list.

She sighed and walked past them, she went to look for the maid, she gave her the list and waited for her to get the stuff on it.

Well well well. If it isn't miss chop stick.

What! I have a name now. chopsticks really! these boys are good.

Ignore them sophia, ignore them, she did her breathing exercise and turned to the maid who handed her the stuff she needed, she turned and was about to walk away.

Hey chopsticks, you came to collect more snacks I don't think that's what you need. What do you think bro, he asked his twin.

Yup it's not snacks she needs what she needs is a miracle. Hahaha.... They laughed, it was quite obvious that they were having fun.

Sophia still ignored them and continued walking as she was about to climb the stairs, they called her again

Hey chopsticks, don't your parents feed you well, or it is that they can't afford it.

Click! the string snapped, sophia halted her steps.

She turned and walked up to them, very slowly. her face was cold, it made them shiver, her eyes were even scarier, as she walked closer The maid panicked miss pls don't there're cameras everywhere miss.

Sophia stopped when there was just a little space between them.

[oh! Sorry I thought I saw my basket ball, but it was just you guys.]

[Oh! You guys are playing fortnite, she looked at the screen, and smirked, your skills are terrible, but it's not your fault, your hands are literally bigger than the console]

[You guys said I'd need a miracle, well that's good. miracles happen all time, but you little lads might need to be rolled with the way things are going, she looked at them intensely.]

[I would have taught you guys some skills but it's obvious that you have brains the size of a walnut, tsk..it can't be helped.]

she wanted to say more, but looking at their faces, she didn't. No matter what they do, they were still little kids so she didn't talk anymore.

Tsk..tsk...see ya, won't want to be ya. Oh right she faced them again. your mum also said I should check if you guys are playing games, so you understand what I'm saying right. She smiled and walked away.

Boom~the decorators phone fell, everyone was in a daze, that smile made them shiver.

The maid stared at Sophia's back she was shocked, firstly her accent changed, she actually talked like the kids, she didn't even understand some things she said, but looking at their reaction, she knew she said something huge.

That girl is bold, they all praised her in their hearts but they didn't dare to say it out loud.

***

Sophia walked back smiling she knew they won't do anything after the warning she gave, well for now at least.

Mrs robinson noticed her joy. You seem happy Is everything okay? Oh yes ma, everything is fine, she smiled. Mrs robinson didn't probe further.

Chief finally finished styling the hair, so sophia packed up the stuff, the makeup artist secretly squeezed her card into Sophia's hand, sophia raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. They walked down, while mrs robinson was still checking herself out in the mirror.

The maid smiled and gave sophia some snacks. Thank you! She said before running back to the kitchen. she turned and didn't see the kids, and the console wasn't there too. they walked to the parking lot when she was about to enter the car, she finally saw them standing by the door with squirted eyes, they looked like they could crush her with their eyes, sophia didn't care. Rather she waved at them happily.

She got in, wow in just a short time you've gotten close to them, the last time I came here, yh I think I came with Trish, she didn't talk she just sat quietly thinking. Chief said as he shook his head.

Oh! We just talked a little and sorted some things out.

The driver:"....." Sort what out, you literally destroyed their mind and composure, the news had quickly spread in the house, so everyone except miss robinson, chief and the makeup artist knew what happened. They all secretly hailed her for putting those boys in their place.

Mrs robinson came down and noticed that everywhere was quiet and her kids were quiet too which was strange. The makeup artist called her, so she didn't think much she checked and everything was fine.

Rose bring some walnuts upstairs.

The twins that were trying to recover:(-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩___-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩)

****

The driver dropped them at the shop he was smiling all through, he waved at sophia with so much enthusiasm.

Everyone saw them coming so they anticipating to hear the news, but things were not really going as they imagined, chief and sophia came back smiling, sophia looked even more joyed as she mumbled on snacks. So how'd it go?

Oh! Everything was fine, the house was very big and pretty and the staff were very nice to me.

Really? What about the kids? They probed.

Oh! They were there too.

No one said anything about the issue again, but they were secretly looking at sophia, with every chance they got.

Good night everyone. Good night sophia, they all smiled awkwardly as they watch her leave.

Chief tell us the truth what really happened? Are you sure those kids were there and nothing happened?

Seriously nothing happened, everyone was extremely happy especially around sophia, well I didn't come down till I was done, so I don't really know what transpired. Sophia seemed close to them, she even waved at them before entering the car.

Alex, kate and Trish remembered what happened when they went to that house. those kids completely humiliated them, and now sophia was their friend, how did this happen. They sat down and started thinking about life.

****

Rose what's that girl's name? The twins asked the maid

Her name is sophia.

Sophia they said in unison with a poker face. She couldn't tell what was going on in their minds, but she knew it wasn't good.
