@silas. He liked when the sun was on his skin, Noah thought to himself as he bit into one of the many slices of blueberry hand pies that his mum had given him for dessert. His gaze was transfixed over the book he was reading, in awe at the display of dinosaurs on the page.
Noah had made himself cozy atop his empty backpack, right under the old oak tree that had made itself home their long ago. It was a nice spot, hidden from everyone else but he liked it best because this was where his mum and him had little picnics and more so because the sun always felt nice there. But alas, his quiet time to himself came to a forceful halt. Interrupted rudely so by some of the neighborhood boys.
“Oh look, it’s the tinie little kid again!” one of them exclaimed and laughter joined the cacophony when the older boy crouched, grabbing Noah’s dinosaur stickered lunchbox. “I knew I smelled all of this sugary stuff all the way at the swings! Don’t eat so much!”
“Pwease give mi bwoobewy tarts back!” the five year old scowled, carefully putting his book on the side so he could get up to face those stupid boys.
