alex: *turn up at the house and knock on the door*
*talk quiet as i drive* she seems upset because of people at school. she said how she wants to look like me and she doesnât seem to feel beautiful. she said sheâs tall and someone commented on her looks.. and apparently they sign âsnitches get stitchesâ so she didnât want to tell anyone.. *sigh*
*canât help but feel hurt, sad that she doesnât think sheâs beautiful* I remember having those exact same feelings at her age.. I didnât think sheâd ever feel that way. She is beautiful. *sad* I want to talk to someone at her school. This isnât okay and itâs bullying. *protective*
i agree, we should call her teacher tomorrow *nod*
Not just her, the principal as well because this is happening in her classroom and for all we know she could either be allowing it or turning a blind eye to it
*nod* okay honey, yes youâre right
My poor baby *sad, sighs*
weâll make sure sheâs okay.. it can be sorted *rub your knee*
*rub you arm and lean over to kiss your cheek*
*smile and rub your knee again, park up once we arrive at the beach* right, letâs go have lunch on the sand *get out the car and get poppy out of her seat, hold her on my hip and get a bag from the car too*
*pick up Archie and hold him on my hip, grab his backpack and my bag*
Jessica Ava and Noah: *get out of the car with their things, excited*
*lock the car and head down onto the sand with you all, pick a spot and set up all our blankets and umbrellas, sit down and get my food out, put poppy down in front of me*
Poppy: *crawl over, pick up sand and tries to eat it*
Jessica: uh oh! Mommy look! *points to poppy before she sit down*
*chuckle and quickly take poppies hand away from her mouth, brush the sand away, smiling and calm* this is yucky sand, it wonât taste good poppy. here.. have some fruit *hand her a bowl of chopped up fruit*
Poppy: FOOT! *starts eating some strawberries and bananas*
Awww! Sheâs so cute *sit down with Archie*
*smile and stroke her hair* fruit, thatâs right poppy *chuckle, look at you* yeah, she is
*smile, get out Archieâs shovel and pail, hand it to him* here you go buddy!
Archie: sand cackle? *hopeful*
*nod* yes, letâs go make one! *grin, take his other hand and walk with him*
Noah: *notice Avaâs friends* your crew is here.. *point toward them*
Ava: *look over and sigh deeply, feeling awkward*
*hear and look over, quickly sign and speak to her* ava, if you donât want to see them or speak to them then let me know, iâll politely ask them to give us space because we are spending the day as a family..
Ava: *sign* please donât. Theyâll think Iâm a baby. *notice then calling her over, force herself up and go over to them*
Noah: I think sheâs scared of embarrassment
yeah.. sheâs a teenager, it happens *keep watching just incase*
Ava: *sign* hey guysâŠ
One of the girls: *sigh* Ava, what on earth are you wearing? You said you had a super model swimsuits but this looks like off the rack at Walmart *smirk while everyone starts laughing*
Ava: *blush from embarrassment, sign* I borrowed this from my sister because mine are getting cleaned.
*trying to listen in, finding it hard, watch her slyly as i eat*
girl: *giggle* so basically a hand me down? your moms couldnât even clean your own clothes? weird..
Ava: *hurt and upset* yes, a hand me down! and at least I have parents who care about me. Yours are always at work and on business trips.
girl: *offended* thatâs not true.. youâre just weird with your two gay moms *raise her brow*
Ava: and youâre a homophobic bitch Brenda *pissed off*
Guys in the group: Oooo! *shocked and snickering, look at Brenda to see how she reacts*
noah: *hearing it, glad ava is standing up for herself, waiting to step in if she needs*
brenda: *look at the guys and turn red* shut up, donât laugh at her stupid insult!
Ava: okay.. Iâm going to go hang out with my weird but awesome and caring family. Enjoy your day Brenda.. bye guys *fake a smile, wave at everyone but Brenda, gives her the finger and head back to us, sit back down*
The guys in the group: wow *grin, thinking Ava is cool, continues to snicker as they all walk off*
*making a little castle with Archie*
brenda: shut up! *walk off*
*finishing my food and clean poppy up before letting her play in the sand*
Ava: *sit next to you and move her head over and lean it against yours*
