"Mom! I'm hungry!" my Xia shouted.
groans I'll be right there, Xia. Give me a minute. He fixes his hair, adjusts his glasses, and takes a deep breath before heading into the kitchen.
MagicVolcano
the child sits at the table, impatiently tapping her foot.
walks quickly into the kitchen, seeing Xia waiting at the table Alright, alright, I'm here! What do you want to eat, Xia? I'll make it for you.
MagicVolcano
"Pizza, mom!" Xia said. "With anchovies."
slams his hand on the counter Anchovies? Are you kidding me, Xia? You know how much I hate anchovies! Fine, we'll order pizza without anchovies.
MagicVolcano
Xia looks down, her lower lip trembling slightly.
leans down and puts a comforting hand on Xia's shoulder It's okay, sweetheart. We can still have a good time without anchovies.
MagicVolcano
"But- but Brit told me I could put anchovies if I wanted to..."
stands up straight, anger flashing in his eyes Who's Brit? And why did they tell you that you could put anchovies on the pizza?
MagicVolcano
"A boy in my class...his name is Brittan. He's really nice!"
sighs in frustration Brittan? I think I know who he is. Listen, Xia, Brittan might seem nice, but he's trouble.
MagicVolcano
Xia looks confused. "But- mom!"
cuts off Xia Look, I don't want you getting involved with that boy. Trust me on this one. We'll find a different activity for you to do.
MagicVolcano
Xia nods reluctantly, wiping away her tears.

stands in front of Xia, putting on her backpack Okay, listen up, Xia. This is your new school. I've heard good things about it.
MagicVolcano
Xia is silent, looking nervous as she fiddles with her hair.
