CHAPTER 17 : Snow Dragon

Hannah and Mia spent a lot of time shopping for groceries the former was already hungry and she bought apples for her to eat to hold her hunger for sometime even though just eating an apple is not enough "want some " ?hannah brought forward an apple to Mia who stared at it and nodded as she took it from her hand Mia took a bite from it and the two continued their shopping.

Already done with shopping all necessary things that they need. The two went back to hannah's house and went straight to the kitchen to arrange everything they bought in their respectful places.

Taking out all the ingredients Mia proceeded to prepare fried rice and omlet when the door bell rang "ding-dong" hannah wondered who it could be as she wasn't expecting any guest "I'll get it she said and Mia nodded as if giving her permission. Hannah went straight for the door and opened it to see Alexa standing at the entrance waved at her and went in "what are you doing here"?hannah asked as she closed the door behind her."I feel lonely so I thought I'd come visit you ".Alexa sat on the couch she then thought of Mia "is big sis Mia here "she asked ? well she's in the kitchen" hannah replied as she walked into the kitchen and Alexa followed.

Mia who was chopping the vegetables looked up to see Alexa coming in . She smiled as Alexa ran to her side and looked at what she was doing " how are you doing big sis ?" she looked up at her "I'm doing fine "Mia smiled "okay "replied Alexa as she put her attention back to what Mia was doing .She watched as Mia chopped all the vegetables and Alexa was acting like a student paying attention to her teacher's teaching "what are you making "?she asked staring at the ingredients "fried rice and omlet "Mia replied and Alexa made an "oh" sound .

She looked around and went to take a knife to help Mia in chapping the vegetables. Mia who saw this didn't stop her and Alexa took some of the vegetables and proceeded to chop them . Hannah who was at the other side of the kitchen watched as Alexa was working with the knife . She would have helped but knew Mia would not let her and she just sat down and waited for the food to be ready . A few minutes later,both Alexa and Mia were serving the food on the plates and just the aroma was enough to make her stomach growl .Hannah felt excited as she hasn't eaten anything all morning and she couldn't wait to fill her stomach. Alexa put her food in front of her .

Hannah grabbed hold of her spoon and took a scoop of rice before putting in her mouth and munching it .She didn't chew the one completely when she took another scoop "calm down the food isn't running away "Mia took a scoop from her own plate "didn't you eat this morning "? Alexa asked taking note that hannah is hungry "I woke up a little late this morning and there is nothing at home so we decided to go buy them " .Hannah summarised before she took the glass glass of water and taking a gulp , she felt like it had been days since she last ate .

Hannah still felt like Mia shouldn't have ate all her chocolates but she decided to let it slide as she has bought new ones for her . They all enjoyed their meal chatting and talking about casual things.

"How's your brother "? hannah asked after they were done with their meal and hannah was so full the she just relaxed on the couch "he's doing well " Alexa said as she sat down .She was comfortable being around hannah and Mia . They were big sisters she never had ,they have also spoilt her in a way she knew she could rely on them and that includes her brother. It wasn't the first time she had spent time with them therfore,they always had fun things to do . "he's busy she added and hannah needed it "it won't be long before you start school "Mia said "and that means I won't spend time with you after" Alexa groaned and the other two smiled .

It wasn't a surprise that Alexa still want to spend time with them "we'll miss that to " hannah said still relaxing on the couch and silence filled the room filled the room the right after . Few seconds passed and Alexa noticed the sketch book on the table and she got curious to see its content and she crawled to take it . Opening it her eyes looked at the drawings in the boon as she looked at it "aww wow"!! she exclaimed catching hannah and mia's attention.

Mia noticed the sketch book on Alexa 's hand which is here's and she knew that the latter was amazed by her drawings, well everyone loves what she draws while some are filled with jealousy and envy .Who is the owner of this sketch book Alexa asked practically to nobody . It's for me , Mia answered looking shocked .Alexa turned to mia's direction , "who drew this "?Alexa asked pointing to a particular drawing.

"I told you I own the sketch book, who else did you think would draw it "? Mia replied seeing hannah giving her a death stare Mia stood up to go take her phone while Alexa continued admiring Mia's drawings,getting to a particular drawing "wowwww...this drawing looks so...soo" short of words out of amazement Alexa took the sketch book to hannah "is it really big sis that drew this" Alexa asked . Looking at the drawing hannah remembered the day Mia drew this ...

**********

Mia looking bored took her sketch book and a paint brush thinking of what to draw she called hannah who was lying on the floor looking bored . Hannah,hannah come here . Grumbling hannah stood up "i was about to fall asleep and you woke me up " Hannah said " sorry i just wanted you to tell me what to draw since I was out of ideas "Mia replied . "Hmm...okay draawww..." ME. Hannah said still thinking of what she would tell Mia draw because she knows that Mia would say no since she hae already drawn a lot of hannah portraits , "NO" Mia said " then how about the blue sea ?" hannah asked and Mia responded by shaking her head . Why don't you want to draw me hannah said ," neee , I have a lot of your potraits, think of something else " Mia responded.

"Fine , let me see the paints you have " hannah sat down beside Mia and the latter brought out her paints and it was then she realised that the painting Mia has are not for portraits .

She went on to carress her chin as Mia waited for her respond. Hannah on the other hand was thinking of what Mia should draw based on the painting she has " okay, how about a snow dragon?" hannah finally said after a lot of thinking "that sounds nice" Mia agreed . And that way she will be able to draw something new , and looking at her paints, she came to a conclusion that the paintings are good enough to paint a snow dragon and she got what she needed ready to paint .
