1 Encounter

Parties are so boring, thought 8-year-old me as I was forced to dress up by maids, they coaxed and showered me with compliments while doing the finishing touch calling me a pretty princess who will swoon everyone when I grow up like my parents, as I got the best of genes from them, ravine silky hair, soft baby skin bouncing with touch, golden eyes from my great grandfather's side, who was some great legend of his time, well I like to read story books but his feel too much exaggerated, I am not a child anymore to believe in everything they say, maybe there is some truth in them but seriously I can't always be happy when everyone mentions him whenever they see my eyes and expecting big things from me, like come on I am only 8, I want to play like other children at first but later on as my time for studying increased especially during this time when awakening of talent is about to happen from 7-10, I realized I didn't have any friends of my age, also we can't find the same topics too, so mostly I spend my time in library and it has developed to the point where my parents are starting to worry especially during socializing, although my teachers keep on praising but they keep on changing because talking with me gives them new innovative ideas, or point out the crux of the problem, so despite the change of many people, the number of teachers coming never decrease, but after I figure out once, I wouldn't talk about that topic again so i have versatile number of things learned but don't know anything deep, when asking about my progress, they say they can't do anything about it, as I can do magic without spells, but they can't and truly top people who don't need to use spells wouldn't come to teach me, so my parents have been thinking of taking me to meet my maternal side, which can help me a bit, but because my parents got married against family wishes both side doesn't contact much, anyway main thing is, this led to some nasty rumors of me being a waste, teachers couldn't come out to say the truth because research may take years to succeed, and those who tried to clarify on behalf of their teachers, were thought of being bought, sigh, so later all stopped caring as my parents were happy with me being an ordinary girl for life time and not needing to mix up among the circle and complexities, although they knew it might be difficult thinking of their own past, "oh the plight of geniuses", this was my parents favorite line with that melodramatic tone and pose of my mom falling into my father's arms with one hand on her forehead, and my father looking at her lovingly and then they will become lovey Dovey, making me grossed out and wishing to get out of there and so would with them saying I would understand when I grow to their age or find a partner, what's there to understand I don't like it when they forget me, like hello I am right here, earth to please, but at times I feels kind of jealous and want to have a pet or partner of mine so I can always be able to work side by side, pet is better, people are dumb, and it should be a top predator, like a Siberian tiger, oh forgot its extinct, Umm... dragon, oh I remember they live in highlands and like papa who can change into bats, so hmmmm... ahhhh wolf or snow leopard is cool too, so from the day I decided to have a pet I walked in the backyard attached to the forest, with a book to read so animals can come to me, yes perfect idea, well small me thought so and it kind of worked ha-ha, so back to party, I still don't like parties or people, they are not as good as animals in nature who are constantly thriving to survive and in a constant cycle of change and movement, although boring but fulfilling at least having a reason, on the other hand we humans have too many complexities, some are dumbo, some lazy, some arrogant doing nothing but still getting everything, Huh I don't like to associate with them, I bet parents think the same, as they always have that fake smile when dealing with people except for some uncle and aunties but I still don't like them as they always compare me with their kids and how wrong it is for my mother and father to be together, although I feel grossed out at times, but I still love them, and I hate whoever says bad thing about them, as according to mom without them being together I wouldn't be here, so i make sure they have a 'good time' here and never come back, so except for annual events or important gatherings we don't see each other, good riddance but my parents feels sad of me not having a playmate, so when i asked to go to academy where all gifted children go to learn by professionals, yeah!!, they were happy for it, and stopped worrying for the time being, so how will my life be there, I thought looking out of the window into snowy night wearing a warm fluffy jacket, gloves, hat with a Ping-Pong and a scarf, barely eyes showing outside making them more prominent that's when I heard a voice, which would be remembered and stay for my whole life to come
