Can I Call You Mommy? (1)

Noah Qin was now seven years old, but there were still things that remained the same. Although he grew up as a handsome young boy, he was still not used to being friendly with his classmates. However, this didn't mean Noah disliked his new classmates.

 

Adrienne, his caring sister-in-law, dropped him and his older sister, Scarlett, off at their new school earlier with a gentle reminder to try and make friends. Noah understood her intentions, but he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the thought of initiating conversation and his anxiety whenever someone came to speak to him.

 

Noah stood by the edge of the playground, eyes scanning the area for a familiar face, but there was none. He then noticed a young girl seated on a bench, engrossed in a magazine. Intrigued, he cautiously approached her.

 

"What are you reading?" he asked softly, trying not to startle his classmate.
