8. Thunder
Leah learning Spanish.
After a while, Tresillo decided to go back on the desk before Leah will spot him spying on her. He walked slowly on the floor then he climbed back on the desk. It was much better with the pain now.
"Just on time!" He said seen Leah closing the laptop and approaching him.
-And? Do you like the book? She asked holding a piece of paper.She was looking now at the grey troll and surpisingly she could see his entire face.
-Your hair! It has again volume just like Ta...Tha ather reggaeton trolls! Leah almost said Tambora's name. Tresillo didn't even realized that. He was touching his hair and smiling while he was looking up. After that little moment he just turned back to Leah, beinerious again.
-I find it a weird book actually. And what happened with your English? You mean "The other" Tresillo answered regardless.
Leah was not even listening anymore, she was busy reapeating for the last time. She exercised for more than an hour already and her 3 sentences were still bad.
-Ok little troll! Now comes the surprise. She said very very tensed.
Tresillo half smiled knowing already what she will do. The troll found that gesture very nice and he was going to show her how much he appreciate that, but he also had a question that bothered him a little. " How come that she knows about our language?"
-Ok...so...Hello! Argh... Leah started wrong again.
-Sorry, I am trying again. Leah took a deep breath.
-Hola! Cómo es-es-tás? My , mi no-mbre es Leah. En- enc-cantado de con-ocerte peque-ño troll! Leah sight at the end. She was not really satisfied about her work but she really did her best. Then she could hear Tresillo answering.
-Hola! Estoy Tresillo. Encantado de conocerte también.
-You did actually answered back in Spanish. Wait a sec! Leah rushed to her laptop and she tried to reproduce what Tresillo said. But she couldn't write that.
-Ok so, you just said hello back, and I think that you said 'nice to meet you' or something like that, and the rest I don't know what it is also the second sentence...pfff.
-You are spelling it wrong. It is E-s-t-o-y not that weird thing that you write there and the second word is not Tresigo, you write that T-r-e-s-i-l-l-o.
Leah was listening carefully and writing letter by letter on her laptop so as she was told to. Then she pressed 'Translate'. She read it once then she had to read it one more time, before she actually realized 'I am Tresillo' .
-No way!! Is that your name? It is trully your name?!
-S-i. He replied already spelling it.
Leah typed fast the 2 letters. "Yes"
-Owwww! I can't believe it! Do you know how big is this?
-Umm... 8 letters I guess? Tresillo said that very calm.
-No, I mean, how big ... waaait a sec... is that a joke? Did you just made a joke? I reaaaalyy can hug you right now! Leah was very enthusiastic. But the little troll didn't look like he wanted a hug.
-But of course I will not do it! Of course not. She gave him a big smile.
-Now, I will actually want to know from where or who do you know that the reggaeton trolls talk Spanish? He asked skepticaly.
It was a little silence because Leah didn't knew what to say.
-They showed it on Tv! She lied smiling guilty.
-Is that so? Tresillo lift one of his eyebrows not really believing.
-Yeah, now...look how late it is, I should get back to bed. She tried to change the subject.
She was preparing to sleep while Tresillo sat on the desk, then all of a sudden Leah turned towards him and said:
-Tresillo!
Then she turned back giggling and being very happy.
"I guess that she's ok..." he looked sweet at her. He also got in his bed and Leah turned off the light. She said like every night.
-Good night...*giggling* Tresillo. *More gigling.*
And for the first time he actually answered.
-Good night, Leah.
-You just said my name! For the first time! Leah was again super enthusiastic and surprised that he actually remembered her name.
-Ow, now I will really not be able to sleep anymore. She whispered. Then she could hear Tresillo chuckling.
-You are just so cute! Leah answered to the quiet noise that he made.
-No, I'm not! He protested.
After that they both remained quiet and fell asleep after a while.
The next morning Leah woke up in a very good mood.
-Gooood morning! She said to the sleepy troll. So I was thinking that today I can leave you some music on? What do you think? I can put you a reggaeton playlist. I will also leave your little door open, so please don't try anything.
-Umm, I guess that it's a good ideea. Thanks for the door, I won't try anything. He said half asleep and not really understanding what a playlist is.
Leah did everything and then she head off to school. Nothing could actually break her mood now, not even the mean girls or the cloudy wheather. She kept smiling thinking secretly at Tresillo being already her best friend.
After school she was running almost the whole way till the shop. It was pretty windy and looked like it will rain today. Once there she greeted Mr. Frank and she went directly to Tambora.
-You will never believe what happened! Leah was jumping from a foot on the other.
-I hope nothing bad! Are you ok over there?Tambora didn't know how should she interpretate Leah's gestures.
-More than ok! I am great! And Tresillo is just the best! Leah said smiling.
-He told you! Tambora shout.
-Yep... and all thanks to your advice!
Leah told what happened on the day before under Tambora's amazed look.
-You are doing great actually, and I am happy that you still don't force anything or get too excited. Tambora looked again at Leah.
-Well, not excited in a bad way at least. She corrected herself.
-Thank you, that means a lot. I hope that we could be friends. Leah looked shy at the green troll.
-I think that we are already. Tambora smiled.
-You are my first friend! Leah was so happy but also emotioned to tears almost.
They could not finish the moment because Mr. Frank came.
-Sorry to intrerrupt but I think you should get going home. He said a little concerned.
-Are you already closing? Leah asked confused.
-I think I will, did you not hear about the super storm that will be this evening?
-Umm, no?
-I can see already very dark clouds, and you sould be careful with the lightnings. Frank continued.
-Ow no! Lihghtnings means tunders as well! Leah said getting very anxious.
-You really have to go home and watch over Tresillo because he is terrified of thunders! He really can't stand tunders! Tambora added concered about her friend.
-Ok then, I will leave now. Thanks for everything. And for the trust to be my friend. She waved at Tambora who did the same.
Leah was running again, this time to her house. She was glad that the shop was only 15 minutes walking distance far from her home. The wind got more stronger and she could already feel water drops here and there. When she got in her room the first thing that she shout was:
- I am here! I am here! No need to panic little troll! Leah tried to catch her breath.
-Yes, I can see that, and I guess that the thingy with 'little troll' will never die, isn't it?
-Of course not. But I am happy that I am on time. Leah felt dizzy from all the running so she went to sit on her bed.
-On time for what?
-Well, I was to the shop and Mr. Frank said that it will be an awfull wheather and then Tambora said that you are terrified of the thun... Leah was talking very fast and she got so caught in her story that she realized too late what she said.
-Umm...I mean...
-Tambora? You mean the reggaeton troll Tambora? He looked at Leah with very big eyes while he was getting closer to her.
-No...umm...Tanboa I wanted to say, that's a snake! Boa that has a Tan? I guess... Leah was doing a terrible job trying to lie.
-I don't believe you. Tresillo crossed his arms and looked suspicious at her. Leah felt already guilty seeing him looking like that.
-Ok...you got me. I started talking with her from the first day that I met you. I asked her some advice and I was keeping her updated about how are you feeling here and we actually got friends. Leah blushed thinking at her first firend.
-You two are actually friends? And why you never told me? So from her all the Spanish talking idea? Tresillo had mixed feelings and he was a little upset but he could finally understand some stuff.
-I am sorry that I didn't tell you but I actually wanted yo to give me a real chance and we could trust each other a little before you knew. Also I was planning to bring you to see her and I was afraid that you will just pretend being 'ok' with me just to see her, I can completely understand that because she is your friend but just think that we were there and you will get scared and fall or brake something, or run in front of a car or...there are so many things that can go wrong if you don't trust me. Leah tried to explain her concernes, feeling bad that she didn't told the truth earlier.
"Maybe I reacted too fast. She actually had all good intentions." He thought looking how she was standing there and feeling a bit sorry.
- I guess you have a point. And now is no doubt how you two can get along so good. Tambora also can think about all the bad stuff that may happen and bring that to extreme. Tresillo admitted.
-But now you know... Leah said a little lost.
-You don't have to worry about me, I promise that I will not pretend that I am close to you and also I will not ask you to bring me there . You have no idea how glad I am that you told me this. I thought that I will never see Tambora again, and with you giving me this chance I prefer waiting, than knowing that it will never happen. Now I can feel that I could give you a hug. Tresillo said looking shy away from Leah.
-Really?? She gasped enthusiastcally and took him in her hand but the hug was interrupted by a very loud thunder.
-Aaaaaaa!!!
-Aaaaaaa!!!
They both screamed and Leah put the blanked on top of her head.
-Are you ok Tresillo? I totally forgot to warn you about this. Her voice trembled.
-I am not sure if I am...but, does thunders also scares you? He asked curious hearing her scream.
Another thunder stroke and they both let a loud scream.
-I guess that answered your question. Leah put Tresillo on the bed and explained what she does when it's a thunder storm.
-So I put my head like this and then a pillow above it and after that my blanket, you could also get under the pillow, it's big enough and safer.
Tresillo did that and he 'heard' indeed the diffrence. It was very dark but he could feel Leah's warm breath. He was never so close to her face. Tresillo streached his hand to see if he could reach her, then he felt her hair.
"It is so soft." He blushed.
Leah started to shake her head not knowing that Tesillo's hand was in her hair. He pulled back his hand, afraid that he did something wrong.
-It is everything ok? He asked like he did know nothing.
-Yes, just something tickled. I hope it's not a bug or a spider. I am afraid of spiders as wel by the way. Leah said never thinking that the little troll could have the courage to touch her.
