Claude

Claude                                     Star

I am thirteen and the girl is maybe about five years old. She is strikingly shiny and pretty. I can’t figure out if she is real since her skin is sparkling and perfect. But she is real since she talks and all that!, Claude said. Hi!, the girl said and when I ignored her since thinking she is the reason why dad didn’t come home to us. I am angry at her, Claude thought. Hey, can you hear me? Helooooo!...I am Star by the way, what’s your name?, Star cried still pursuing Claude who is now running away from the girl like he never did before.

Hahaha….Lance and Fame laughed when they saw Star and Claude run after each other like siblings. They are indeed siblings, dear, I have done all I can to grant your wish. And here she is, her name is Star! Look at her! She is a cutie, right!?, Lance said and looked at Fame whose eyes are streaming with tears as she sees Star who is lively and pretty.

Stop following me! What are you, deaf!? I said I don’t want to talk to you!, Claude cried still walking away from the girl who kept bugging him. But yu are talking to me now. Wait up Claude!, Star yelled when the boy ran and climbed an oak tree that is about ten years old too just like Claude when it was planted by Flip as ordered by Fame when she was still carrying the boy inside her womb.

Oak tree

Claude is seated on one of the branches of the tree which is about six to seven feet tall now. Star can’t climb a tree and wasn’t programmed to do so, so she sat on the grassy part under the tree where Claude is at. Star, why are you here? And what is your relationship with my dad?, Claude asked.

I am your sister, though not blood related I guess, I am made to be your mom’s daughter. So, if you don’t like me to be your sister I can be your friend if that is okay?, Star replied like she is older than her age.

Ah, yes, okay, we can be friends then! I never had one or maybe I just don’t know how to make one. I have gone to schools but children can be scary and loud sometimes that I get annoyed. I like my alone time and I guess other children think I am weird and all! Do you think I am strange?, Claude asked now climbing down the tree.

Well, no, I am just new to this world too so I think I am weird just like you. You are the first person I have ever talked with and now we are friends. So that is a good thing, right?, Star replied and gave her hand to Claude to shake. Why did you say that you are not programmed to climb trees, well, it’s just easy, here let me teach you!, Claude cried and carried Star to his shoulders. Place your arms at the ladder then climb up. At the branch rest your feet there at the little bump, then put all your weight on to it and sit to an ark like position.
