Mathilda
A boy on a robe with blond curly hair, standing in the middle of the crowd, glaring.
I am not afraid of some flimsy boy, I thought to myself. I let my bored eyes stared back at him as I crossed my arms. We were having a staring competition, and good thing I played this game plenty of times with my sisters, so there was no doubt I would win over this little man.
And then unexpectedly, he smiled, and for the first time, I, Mathilda, the great and the trickster, lose.
