After a while, Kasieined, “Hey! Slow down! I said nothing else.


    Why did you take off my gown?”


    Ivan said with a smug smile, “I didn’t take off your gown. I took off my gown.”


    Kasie didn’t know what to say to that. He made sense.


    Debbie, on the other hand, picked up her daughter from Carlos’ manor and dropped her off at


    kindergarten. Lucinda was waiting there in the ssroom. Actually, it was well into the semester, so


    Piggy was a Late addition.


    At kindergarten


    Her ssmates liked Piggy a lot. They gave her gifts and always wanted to y with her.

    Debbie hid outside the ssroom so she could see how it went. Piggy was not used to so many people


    around, and she wasn’t having fun. When a boy touched her dress, she even pouted her mouth.


    “Did she pick up any weird personality quirks from Carlos? 0h no! She’s a neat freak too, ‘ Debbie


    thought.

    Luckily, what Piggy did next made Debbie feel relieved. She epted one of the gifts and thanked the


    giver softly.


    She then started taking gifts from the other kids and thanked everyone.


    “Mommy will buy gifts. Tomorrow,” she promised.


    “Hi Evelyn, I’m Queenie. Let’s be friends,” said a girl.


    “I’m Zack Glyn. You’re pretty. I want to be friends with you too


    Monica Rolle, look at Evelyn! She looks like a real princess,” said a boy


    The ssroom was abuzz, thanks to Evelyn. The noise level rose appreciably, because everyone


    wanted to talk to the new girl.


    Evelyn pointed at Zack’s face and said, “Dirty. Go Away. Monica, Queenie… friends.”


    Debbie, who kept hidden so she could see how Evelyn’s first day went, covered her face with both


    hands. ‘Oh God! She’s a clean freak just like her dad.’


    The next afternoon, Debbie went to kindergarten to pick up Evelyn.


    Lucinda conferred with Debbie.


    “I can’t exin it. Everyone in ss was so clean. Some even had new clothes. I think it’s Evelyn. She


    doesn’t Like dirty kids. Ha-ha! Kids are so funny.”


    The story amused Debbie. At the same time, she felt a little helpless at Evelyn’s obsession with


    cleanliness.


    “Did she behave?” she asked her aunt.


    Lucinda cast a sidelong nce at Evelyn, who was hand in hand with


    Monica, and said in a whisper, “Well, yeah, but she doesn’t want to be friends with everyone. And she


    isn’t too shy to say so. You should have a talk with her about being nicer. Anyway, she’s a polite girl.”
