Rats

Let me tell you a story, of a girl I've know my entire life.

There was this girl who lived her life, as a kid, filled with joy and such naivity. Ever since she attended school, she knew already who she was and what she was meant to become. She was rowdy, played with the boys who constantly teased her of her appearance and how she acted. She chased and had beaten the crap out of them.
Growing up, she amused the young and the old alike with her talent in dancing and other funny antics. She was a kid. And being as cute as she was, it wasn't that hard to get away with her mischievious habits. She had tons of friends. Scared of the unknown. Hated dressing up like a girl. Spoiled by her father.

As an adolescent, she was caught in the middle of wanting to be by herself, to contemplate and to be with her friends. She had issues which she kept to herself. Never had she shown weakness. Still, she wanted to do something that would actually make her friends pansin what she was doing. She wanted sympathy but didn't want it to look like she intended to. Though to her friends, she seemed so lively yet so moody. Never had she shared anything, she didn't want to be attached to anyone.
(Traumatized by what happened to her as a kid. Because of her being so controlling, she had the person she considered as her best friend.)
So she handled things on her own, emotional or not, she found ways without ever talking about it to anyone.

While practicing for graduation, the school chaplain had said something eye-opening. He had said, "this girl here is someone who definitely can do anything." She was in fact multi-talented. She was far more mature in thinking than those in her batch. She could dance,very poetic, artistic, athletic, intellectual and competitive. Both introvert and extrovert. Truly, she believed she can in fact do anything she sets her mind to.

I find her deeply troubled, even though she doesn't show it. I want to help her out but I can sense that she doesn't want anyone to. She believes she knows what she has to do. She believes she knows every solution to any problem.

This will be continued.

(For questions about her, ask away)
