Alice was an ordinary girl living an ordinary life. Born in a town situated in the countryside where everyone knew each other. In a town where nothing special happens. The only noteworthy thing was the gossip of the housewives. Alice was always driven by a curiosity about her surroundings. Curious about her friends. Curious about her town. Curious about what she learned in school. Some found her curious nature adorable. Some were indifferent to her curiosity. And some were not too welcoming to her curiosity. One day a group of classmates, led by a boy from her class, found her a perfect target to liven up their stagnant days. And so they started with small stuff such as calling her names and teasing her but that soon escalated. Alice in her spare time decided to explore the surroundings of the town to get away from the bullies. Almost as if it was brought about by fate. Her feet lead her in a random direction with confidence. At 10-years old she stumbled upon an abandoned path to a scenic view of the ocean, and there she met a person who would satiate her unending curiosity for the rest of her life. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I have had this need to write something for a while now and while I was on a trip with my family and saw the scenery at one of our stops, the idea for the story just came to me and I immediately began to write a draft for it. 〆(・ω・*) So if you enjoy the story then I am sorry but this was written on a whim and I don’t expect it to be good because it is the first time I wrote anything considered a story. (*_ _)人 Also, I most likely would update infrequently so don’t expect much consistency. But despite all that, if you decide to stick with this story, I give you my heartfelt thanks.
