Emma walked with me outside to meet everyone. The first thing I noticed was a pair of trousers and a shirt.... but no head. It was floating! And moving! I was astonished. Emma noticed that I saw the floating clothes, kicking a ball.
"That's Millard." She said. Pointing to the hovering clothes.
"He's invisible..." I trailed off.
The boy Millard was playing with was Hugh.
"Millard, pass the ball!" Hugh said, sounding a bit annoyed. As he spoke, a few bees came buzzing out of his mouth!
"He has a swarm of bees living inside him." Emma explained.
"He can even tell them what to do without being stung once."
The bees rested on his face and swarmed around him.
Instead of passing the ball, Millard kicked it into the mouth of the giant dinosaur bush statue.
"Millard!!!" Hugh yelled.
"If you boys keep on fighting, I think it's best you stop playing then." A boy with a monocle and a fancy suit with a top hat stepped up and closed then book he was reading. He noticed me and kissed my hand.
"Horace Somnusson, delighted to meet you...?" He gave me that im-sorry-what-is-your-name look.
"Eleanor Crofford" I laughed.
"Ah! Eleanor. Well it was a pleasure to meet you, but it's best I be on my way. Good day." He smiled and kissed my hand again. Emma chuckled. "He's always so fancy."
I looked down to see two masked children hugging each of my legs. I smiled, rubbing their backs. Instead of saying hello, the two children made a soft grunting sound..
"These are the twins. They are gorgons." Emma smiled down at them.
So that explains why their faces are always covered.
A little girl with beautiful, bouncy curls ran up to me, holding up a flower to me. A daisy.
"Hullo! My name is Claire and I have a backmouth!" The little girl said excitedly.
"What's a back-" She cut me off. "What is your name?"
I chuckled because of how cheerful Claire was.
"My name is Eleanor. Thank you for the lovely daisy! I appreciate it!" I said gently to Claire.
"It's no problem. Actually, it was Fiona over there who grew it with her bare hands for you!" She pointed to a girl about the age of 12, sitting under an apple tree. She smiled and waved. I waved back.
"Come on guys. Lets go play hide and seek with Fiona." And with that, Claire and the Twins were already running towards to where Fiona was sitting.
"Aren't they just adorable?" Asked Emma.
"They sure are!" I replied happily.
I think Im really going to like it here. People actually like me.
