“Kid, for the hundredth time it is not a cat monster but a cub of an AA-rank Cloud Mane lion monster,” Sansa’s father said hearing the Baylor family kid time and again call his daughter’s cute lion monster cub a cat.
“…” The kid in question ignored Sansa’s father and continued to pet the wolf pup adding, “Ellen’s pet is stronger than your cat, Sansa.”
Seeing the kid ignore him and continue to call his daughter’s pet monster a cat, Sansa’s father was irritated to the point where he was about to lose it, the only thing that helped him keep his calm was the fact he had a feeling that this kid was doing it purposefully and if he were to let irritation surface on his face then that would mean the kid had own.
“That’s not true. As the uncle said, Sansa’s pet cub is a descendant of the AA-rank monster, whereas my pet pup is a descendant of the B-rank monster. Even if my wolf pup is a month older than Sansa’s lion cub, it is still not a match for Sir Cloud Tail,” Ellen who had done her homework on monsters, did not hesitate to correct the Baylor kid. The surrounding kids nodded hearing Ellen preach.
‘You tell him, girl,’ Sansa’s father cheered inside seeing Ellen come to the defense of his little angel’s pet and correct the Baylor family kid who continued to give his daughter cold shoulder.
“Whatever, your wolf pup is still cuter than that cat,” the Baylor kid continued to find ridiculous reasons to undermine Sansa’s pet.
“I don’t know, I myself prefer Sansa’s sir cloud tail, if not for the pet store having a storage of feline monsters, I too would have chosen a feline pet monster,” Saying that Ellen squatted next to Sir Cloud tail, who happened to be skittishly peeking at the group of children from behind Sansa’s legs and began to pet it.
Seeing this the wolf pup who was enjoying the embrace of the Baylor kid immediately rushed to its master’s side feeling jilted. Rushing to its master’s side it obediently quatted next to the cat monster and started to make puppy eyes at its master. Getting no response from its master, it barked to get her attention. As a result, Ellen used her free hand to pet it on its head. Having successfully managed to get its master’s attention, its cute little tail wagged uncontrollably.
Seeing the wolf return to its master, now the Baylor boy felt abandoned and looked in its direction with longing eyes. But it was not clear whether his eyes longed for the wolf pup or the owner of the hand petting it.
As the only adult in the room, it was clear to Sansa’s dad what the boy really wanted. Which did him no favors. He was better off not knowing it. Learning the boy his daughter had a crush on had feelings for another girl, Sansa’s father could only shake his head helplessly as there was nothing much he could do about this matter.
Fortunately the girl the boy his daughter had hots for did not have the same feelings for the boy. As she seemed to want to befriend his daughter. But all his daughter’s thoughts were preoccupied with the thoughts of the boy she liked, so she was unable to take notice of what was happening around her. Seeing that his daughter was showing signs of wasting her life thinking about her feelings for a jerk who did not have the same feelings for her, Sansa’s father decided to step in. His daughter was too young for heartbreaks and end up as a loner but not too young for a best friend, he had to do something before what he saw here becomes the norm of his little angel’s life.
“Sansa, a word,” Sansa’s father called his daughter to the side.
“What is it dad?” little Sansa asked.
“Honey, who among them is your best friend?” Sansa’s father asked his little angel looking at the group of kids.
“Um, all of them are my best friends,” little Sansa replied innocently.
“No, honey, what I mean to say is, who among them do you like the most as your friend?” Seeing that his daughter did not understand his question Sansa’s father decided to be more specific.
“Um, him,” little Sansa said eyeing the Baylor family boy. Hearing her answer, her father’s face almost became hideous out of envy. But he controlled his emotions and with a deadpan face he added, “Other than him.”
Yes, the Baylor family kid had above-average cuteness and seemed trustworthy, but he saw no other merits about him for his daughter to be smitten to such an exaggerated level. If not for the age of the boy, he would have suspected that boy had used some kind of witchcraft to gain his daughter’s undying favor.
“Other than him…” little Sansa suddenly found herself in a predicament. And wondered why was she friends with these kids to being with? And came to a sad realization that she was friends with this group of people because they were the close friends of the boy she had a crush on. Even though she did not like the answer she replied to her father truthfully, “None of them.”
Having already prepared for her answer, Sansa’s father was not surprised. He blamed himself for this, if had been more involved with his little angel’s life, maybe he could have prevented his daughter from obsessing over the boy.
Since there was no point crying over broken eggs, Sansa’s father asked, “Are there any other friends of yours outside of these kids?”
“No,” Little Sansa replied and a hint of sadness could be heard in her voice as she just realized she had no friends, At least not the ones that she liked to invite back to her home.
Seeing his disappointed daughter who had come to a sad realization that she had no best friends, Sansa’s father consoled her by saying, “How about you make some starting today?”
