Читать книгу The Retreat - By Sam Marie and Daniel B - Страница 7

I was out in the rose garden with Rosie, we were drawing and just talking. Then we heard a loud bang and then laughter. We went across the yard to the end, near the showers; I saw a ball rolling by near the shower stalls, and ran to pick it up. Rosie said, “It’s the boys again, just throw it back”. I went up to the fence and climbed up the vine covered fence despite Rosie’s protests, then I asked her for the ball and she gave it to me as I sat on top of the fence. I saw the boys, there were three, one of them immediately caught my eye, he was taller, scruffy brown hair and blue eyes. He was covered in dirt, which made me giggle. He came up to me as I handed him down the ball. He said “thanks” grabbed it, smiled at me for a moment, then ran off to join the other boys. They continued playing as I watched. Then I felt Rosie pull my pant leg, her voice was becoming more desperate, “Come down off of there; you are going to get us in terrible trouble, please!” I got down and told her, “The nuns are busy, they won’t know”. I figured, what could go worse for me? I am already at the last pit stop, but I felt concern for Rosie though; she’s nice I shouldn’t get her in trouble.
