Why do they need a dad? He abandoned Miranda and them he hasn’t even been there for them since birth. He deserves no respect, let alone any type of affection that Ellamay have for him.
“If I had a daddy…he’d help me rebuild my tower,” Ella wis fully sighs to herself. She glares at Noah from over her shoulder and continues to mumble, “he would have gotten more blocks for me too.”
Noah rolls his eyes at Ella and turns away. He watches the her kids in the room, wanting to keep him and Ella safe from any bullies that might head their way.
“Do you think he has dark hair like us?” Ella wonders aloud She stacks the blocks one by one, carefully constructing a new and improved tower. “We have his eyes maybe you’ll grow to be tall just like him, Noah!”
Ella stands, continuing to add more and more blocks to the tower. Noah sighs and gives in, handing her nearby blocks. He shakes his head.
“No..we’re nothing like him. Stop daydreaming!” Noah scrunches his face at the tower.
“I think he’s nice and kind…” Ella takes a block from Noah and stacks it. The tower is taller than them. She has to stand on her toes to stack the next block. “Maybe he has a reason for not being there for us, Noah.”
“I wouldn’t believe it. He’s…a liar to me.” Noah groans.
SLAM!
The classroom door swings open as a young boy, who wears sunglasses, sprints inside the room. He’s closely followed by a group of students. Their voices are loud as they yell at the boy to stop running.
The boy runs in Noah and Ella’s direction. The siblings stare at each other. Noah notices how close the boy is and grabs Ella, yanking her out of his path. The boy crashes into the block tower.
The tower shatters as the wooden blocks fall to the ground, clattering as they tumble away. Ella gasps and watches as the boy stares at them for a brief moment before running away.
“Hey!” Ella yells, pointing at him, “get back here!”
Ella and Noah take off after the boy. They get a head start ahead of the other students. Noah diverts himself away from Ella, but she doesn’t notice. The other students catch up with her as they yell at the boy to stop.
The boy skillfully dodges the students; he weaves through the small desks and jumps over a checkers board that two students are using. The boy angles his body to the door that leads out into the schoolyard, knowing that this is. the only exit for his escape.
He looks over his shoulder and notices that the other students have stopped, either having fallen and crashed into one another or are just plain out of breath. He smiles to himself and turns back around, slowing his pace. Just as he’s about to reach the door, Noah slides in front of him.
The boy tries his best to stop but it’s too late! The two boys collide with each other and fall to the ground. The boy’s sunglasses fall off of his face, flying under a nearby desk. Ella jogs up to them and helps Noah up.
Noah’s eyes fixate themselves on the boy’s eyes. He taps Ella on the shoulder and points at the boy, who frantically looks around for his sunglasses. She gasps.
The boy scrambles when he finds the sunglasses and hastily puts them on his face. He looks at Noah and Ella, wide eyes hidden behind the darkened frames.

Noah is stunned and he can’t hide the shock on his face as he stares at the young boy. Ella points at him, clinging to his arm.
