Wanted Love
New friend
The story takes place in an European style location during sometime in the 1600's.
Young Simon is climbing over a fence and falls.
Simon is lying on top of a little girl.
Simon
Oh, I'm very sorry! Are you alright?
Mary
Sigh...i'm alright. Besides, why did you climb the fence?
Simon
It's... it's because...
Simon takes cover behind a bush.
Simon
Shhh! That's my mom!
They wait until Simon's mom leaves.
Simon
Finally, she's gone.
Mary
Ok Simon, tell me what's going on and why you're hidding from your mom.
Simon
It's because..I don't want to go to my tutor lesson.
The girl starts laughing.
Simon
Hey, stop laughing about it! All my friends also skip tutor!
Mary
Ah ha ha. Sigh, I wish I had a tutor. There is so much I don't know in school.
Simon
Why can't you get one?
Mary
My parents can't afford to pay for one.
Simon is thinking and an idea pops up 💡
Simon
Aha! How about I try to teach you. I'm very smart y'know.
Mary
Yeah, that's a great idea! But.. . do I need to pay you?
Simon
Of course not! You're my friend afterall. Oh and about that, I still haven't asked you for your name.
Simon
Ok Mary, tomorrow at this time I will come to tutor you so be prepared!
First lesson
The next day after lunch...
Simon climbed the fence and fell again.
Mary
You know there is a gate over there.
Simon
Of course I did, I just didn't want to use it.
Simon
Hey, you ready to learn? I brought some books to help and some snacks.
They spent most of the afternoon studying and it was time for Simon to leave.
Simon
I think that's it for today. Anything you don't understand? Huh?
Mary is sleeping on Simon's shoulder.
Simon
(I don't want to move or I might wake her up but I have to go soon)
Simon
(Looking more closely, she's quite cute. Maybe I will stay for a while)
A few minutes pass and Simon is still admiring Mary's face.
Mom
Simon, where are you? It's time for dinner.
The sound wakes Mary up and she sees Simon looking at her.
Mary
Hey! What are you doing?!?!
Simon
No no no! You slept on my shoulder and I didn't want to wake you up.
Both of them are embarrassed.
Simon
Umm hey, I got to go now. See you tomorrow.
Promise Pt 1.
Simon, this time, is using the gate to get in the yard and knocks.
Mary
Ah, it's you. There's no need to be so loud.
Simon goes in and they sit down under a tree. They study for the entire afternoon and they pay very close attention to make sure yesterday's incident doesn't repeat.
Simon
It's getting late now, let's pack up.
While packing up, Simon musters up the courage to apologize about yesterday.
Simon
About yesterday, I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable.
Mary is still embarrassed about that incident.
Mary
No no! It's fine. It's my fault that is fell asleep.
Simon is too embarrassed to tell her that she's cute.
Simon
Nevermind. See you tomorrow!
Mary
I won't be here tomorrow.
Mary
My family and I are moving away.
Simon
Wait! What's wrong with the place you're living in right now?
Mary
My parents can't afford to pay the rent so we are moving to a more cheaper place.
There is a depressing moment of silence.
Simon
So, what time are you leaving tomorrow?
Simon is sad that he won't see Mary again but he gets an idea.
Simon
Tomorrow, after lunch meet me here.
Simon runs back home feeling sad about what just happened.
