His Eagle Eyes on Me

"Leave me alone! I haven't finished my homework!"

Robert stood pathetically next to her, not daring to move or speak.

Seeing how upset he seemed, she patted his head like she was petting a puppy. "I haven't finished my homework! Go find Mom and Dad!"

"They went into their room to talk. I don't know what they are talking about, but they closed the door." Robert pouted. "No one wants to play with me." "What about Mrs. Cooper?"

"I don't want to play with Mrs. Cooper. I want to play with you, with Mom and Dad," he demanded.

"I already told you that I'm not done with my homework. If I play with you, I will fail my exam and I won't be able to go outside to play," she said impatiently.

Robert couldn't possibly understand why his sister was anxious. "You can stay home and play with me if you can't go outside! I love playing with you, Layla!" He took her hand and begged.

All patience Layla had for her little brother was drained from her at that moment, replaced by anger. "Go away! If I can't go out to play during my holidays, I won't play with you either! If you keep disturbing me from finishing my homework, I will beat you!"
