Chapter 79 - 79: Start Of A Friendship II (1/2)
The second visit to the orphanage was much more organized. Each group went straight to their room assignment to engage the children with activities they prepared.
In the room, Kylo felt the change in the atmosphere. It seems like everyone was getting along. They were smiling at each other, working in harmony. Though he was not complaining, for what he expected to become a drama turned into a comedy with Geoffrey as the main star.
The class that they were handling have 20 children between the age of 11-13. There were 6 boys and 14 girls. They were very active, asking a lot of questions, and even suggesting what they want to do for the day.
Initially, Geoffrey planned for them to have activities like reading a book or asking them to solve mathematical questions. However, the children hated those. But the children rebuked him without mercy.
”No, no, brother Geoffrey, we don't want to do study those subjects. We only have Saturday and Sundays as our off, and we only get to spend time with you all twice a month. We have waited to 2 weeks for you all to return.”
”Yes, Eli is right. We don't want to study things we always learn on normal days. We want to spend time with you and have fun.” Another girl name Sarah said.
Geoffrey was at a loss for words. He does not know if he should be happy for they were very candid in voicing their opinion, or should he be angry, because never had he experience people contradict and reject his words outright.
Serena and Emily feeling bad for him spoke at the same time. Serena feeling that she was being meddlesome smiled at Emily to let her speak first. Regardless of what she feels about her, she will be the next queen, she thought.
”Children, please don't say that to brother Geoffrey, he was just suggesting those activities for your own good.” She tried to admonish them nicely.
”But Sister Emily, we really don't want to do those things. Can't we do something else?”
Emily looked at Geoffrey as if asking for his permission. When he gave her a nod, she asked the children.
”Alright, then what do you suggest we do?”
”I know, I know! How about we play the hot seat?”
”That sounds great! I want to know more about our brothers and sisters!”
”Yes! Maybe brother Kylo should go first, he never talks to us!”
”Please, please, can we play the hot seat? We want to get to know everyone better! How about brother Geoffrey go first?” another girl asked.
All the young girls stared at Kylo and Geoffrey. they were curious about the handsome men, while the boys eyed them like they were pest that stole all the girls' attention.
Kylo this time felt that he was in a horror film. The young prepubescent girls were so loud and demanding, 'I'm never doing volunteer work again. I don't want to be here.' He thought. As he stood up and sat on the teacher's table in front.
”Okay, shoot. Do we need a timer?” He asked.
”No need brother Kylo, the rule is, everyone gets to ask one question. You can only say pass three times!”
Kylo nodded his head thinking, 'might as well get this over with. What's the worst that they can ask?'
”I'll go first! Brother Kylo, do you have a girlfriend?” a young girl, he estimated was about 12 asked him.
”No.” he replied, then the young girls started cheering.
”My turn, my turn! Brother Kylo, are you an albino?”
Kylo furrowed his brow, ”No, and my hair is silver.”
The questions went on, some nonsense, and there was even a boy who asked if he were still a virgin, to which he proudly answered no.
Then it was Geoffrey's turn.
”Brother Geoffrey, have you very kissed a girl?”
Geoffrey's face immediately turned red as he said pass.
”NOOOOO!!!! My prince charming already kissed a toad!” one child screamed.
Emily felt her brow twitch but kept silent.
Then a boy who finds him irritating because of stealing all the girl's attention asked, ”Do you think you're so cool and handsome?”
Geoffrey said pass again, the boy harrumphed while Serena and Kylo chuckled secretly.
”Will you marry me?” another girl asked as she batted her eyelashes.
”No.” he replied without mercy making the young girl cry.
”Are you a virgin?” another boy asked.
Well, he is but he's not answering that. ”Pass.”
”Are you really the crown prince?”
