I just wake up when I hear like Derek says to Kyle. ”Come on, little brother. I will learn you shot by my new laser gun!”
”WOW! Great!” Kyle says. „Let's go!”
I stand up and go to them. „Can I go with you, boys?”
Derek looks at me and says. „No, Ellie, you can't...”
I'm disappointed.
„Why not?” I ask.
„It's not for kids, baby...” he says gently.
It's make me angry. „I'm not a kid anymore!” I shout.
Derek knits his brows „You're.. Besides you're a girl.” he says hard. „And you'll stay over here.”
” Let's go, Kyle!” He turns round and leaves.
I give Kyle an imploring look.
Kyle puts his head down and says calmly „I'm sorry, Ellie.. He's older... and he commands now...”
When Kyle leaves with Derek I sit on bed.
I start cry.
„When Derek will understand at last I'm not a kid anymore? What I have to do to prove I can fight too?” I think.
„I'm 14. I'm not a child... „ I stand up and I rise in revolt.
„I don't need your help! So what I'm a girl? I will become a soldier! I'll show you! I'll show you all!”
