Ramona had every intention to end this interaction after a single question. But Felicity's answer had her more curious than she'd like to admit. The castle and dragon made her think it as for some kind of dumb fairy tale and about a princess being rescued. She couldn't stand stories like that...

Ramona gave Zeke a skeptical look when he said the dog loved her. She doubted that, they had just met. She was sure she'd find some way to upset the dog at some point. But for now she stumbled a bit as he leaned his full weight against her legs. She kept her face neutral as Dominic laughed at...

Ramona let some of her hair fall in front of her face when her coldness didn't drive Felicity away. Yet she watched out of the corner of her eye as the other girl neatly set up her things before she even started. She glanced at her own messy watercolor set that was now mostly covered in blues...

Ramona knew it was impractical to expect to have a table all to herself but it didn't stop her from giving Felicity a blank stare when she asked if she could sit with her while already sitting down. The other girl seemed nice but being nice didn't mean much to her. She probably didn't mean it...

After the holidays Ramona found herself going with Dominic to the daycare every day. It made sense, he worked there and it was where kids went when their parents were at work. But it was a bit odd when he was supposed to be her dad and also the teacher. She couldn't help but watch the other kids...

Ramona listened and kept her eyes down this time. She picked up the pieces of her torn drawing and tried fold them into different shapes, just trying to keep her hands busy. She wasn't entirely sure what Santiago meant but she nodded anyways. She had loved her mother more than anything. She...

Ramona watched closely this time as Santiago spoke. He seemed upset or maybe bothered by what he was talking about but she couldn't figure out why. She was alive at least. She nodded at him to show she heard but didn't have anything else to say. Sure she had plenty of questions but she didn't...

Ramona listened as Santiago spoke. She was tempted to start writing down the names he listed as if there would be a test on it later. She knew no one would likely expect her to know their names but her fear of insulting them went deep. He listed more names and tried to piece together a picture...

Ramona could tell Santiago was trying to cheer her up or at least distract her. She didn't smile but she could feel herself calming down. If she was being honest she didn't love Christmas, it reminded her of the absence of her mom and at the foster home it had been a stark reminder. They had...

Ramona was deeply embarrassed. She kept her head down with her hair falling so it hid most of her face. Part of her wanted to cry even though she knew the tears wouldn't come even if she wanted them to. Tentatively she picked at the torn paper and pushed them around as if she could put it back...

Ramona was a little surprised when Santiago didn't get mad at her. It wasn't the first time she had ever mockingly drew someone but it was the first time she hadn't gotten scolded for it. She gasped when he grabbed the paper from her but she was too slow and her arms too short to grab it back in...

Ramona had been living in this house for a few months now and it still felt as strange as it had when she arrived. She still tip toed around every corner, scared to take up space no matter how many times Dominic and Zeke warmly greeted her when she caught their attention. The house was too quiet...

Ramona had rushed ahead without thinking and soon she was standing in a tidy entry way and completely unsure what to do next. She jumped when Zeke greeted her and crossed her arms when the dog barked. She had never really been around many animals before and had a tendency to be wary of them. The...

Sometimes Ramona was able to convince herself that the past two years of her life weren't real at all, and that she was actually just dreaming. It was a bad dream but at least there was something better waiting for her when she woke up. But then something would happen that would remind her that...
