“Is anybody there?” The sound a small girls voice rang through the other side of the bed-sheet wall, little hands pressing into the fabric as two other little hands pressed back.
“Oh! Hello! What’s your name? My name is-“
“Charlie!!” The little boy shouted happily.
“Oh! That’s a nice name! How long have you been in there? I don’t ever see anymore friends outside where my Mommy works! It gets boring…” The little girl said with a pout as she tucked her little legs in against her chest while she spoke to the other child.
“For….um….” Charlie looked at the wall, trying to count the crayon ticks he’d scraped into it and eventually losing count after 10, he didn’t know what came after that number. He’d been there for a month.
“For a hundred days!” He called back.
“A HUNDRED?! Woahhh!! So many days! That’s really cool! Is it nice in there?” She asked with a tilt of her head, not like Charlie could see her anyway, but children are so expressive sometimes even when they don’t need to be.
“Yeah! I got crayons in here! And a photo book!”
The little girl giggled. “I never had crayons before. And a photo book?! Woaaahhh!!!” She smiled, going to lift the sheet. “I have a bike over here! My mommy calls it a tricycle, it’s very fun, but I wish I could draw. Maybe we can trade!”
“I don’t know what a bike is, I’ve never saw one of those before! Are they fun?” Charlie questioned.
“Very fun! I fell off and scraped my knee once, though.” She lifted the sheet and peaked her little head under, smiling as her blonde hair fell over her face.
“Hello!” Charlie said with a big, bright smile on his face.
“Here you go!” He handed her his crayons with a small note pad that he was granted to use as a means of ‘entertainment’.
“You don’t want to play?” She frowned.
“We shouldn’t, sometimes when friends visit they don’t come back, but I think you’ll be okay because you haven’t come all the way in the cabin yet!” He got down on his stomach to talk to her, kicking his legs in the air behind him.
The little girl hummed as she thought for a little bit. “Okay, we can just play when you are allowed out of the cabin! I used to live in the cabin, but after a while Mommy started taking me to school. School’s no fun though, you have to wear a stupid mask the whole time…”
“I wanna go to school…” Charlie said softly as he picked at the dust bunnies on the floor. “….Will we go to school together?”
“I hope so.” The little girl gave him a smile and backed up to grab her little tricycle, rolling it under the sheet wall.
“Don’t fall off it and hurt your knees! We can play tomorrow!” She said as she took the crayons and held them close to her, giving Charlie another smile before she started to walk away.
“Wait! What your name?” Charlie shoved his head under the sheet and looked up at the girl.
“My name is Niki.” She looked over her shoulder at him before running off to a showfall employee waiting for her.
Charlie watched her run off before slipping his head back from under the sheet, looking at his new bike and grinning as he immediately hopped onto it.
One peddle of the bike and the way he was sitting knocked him over almost immediately. He didn’t scrape his knee, but now he was determined to learn how to do this, he didn’t need an adult to teach him how, he would prove that.
Maybe then Showfall would let him go to school…
