Narrator POV:

This is the story of a 12 year old that was pushed away by jealousy and hatred. I am your narrator for this story from beginning to end. That girl's name is Emiko Hirata. She was a normal girl with parents who earn more than average, who doted on her and an older brother, who saw her as precious. There was just one difference between her and a normal 4 year old back then. She attended Sweet Amoris Kindergarten, which is part of a chain of schools. From Kindergarten all the way to University/college. They are an exclusive private school for kids of the rich and busy. But, things took a turn when Emi started Kindergarten. The Hirata Company experienced a boost in sales and their dad got even busier, but they were still a happy family. Often going out for dinner or the cinema or even just a walk in park. Those were times of bliss for them all.

Emi was also completely different from now. She was a cheery, bubbly girl who attracted people's friendship with her smile. The type of girl adults would find adorable and the kind kids would find cool. She made many friends in kindergarten and grew close to circle of 11. They came to be known as inseparable as and closer than any children of their age were. This friendship stayed untouched for many years to come. As Emi grew older she became more beautiful but also even cuter to everyone around her. When she started Sweet Amoris Elementary her cheerful disposition seeped through to everyone and made her one of the most popular girls of the school. Basically, she was too cute to resist. However, the circle of friends stayed tight and close. She was best friends with every single one of them. The boys in the circle thought of her as someone who brightens the room. Whereas the girl saw her as a reliable friend. They didn't just like each other but they loved each other as close friends because they did so much together.

But Emi suddenly had to move because their dad had to manage one of his branch companies that was losing profit. Soon the time came that her mother would have to go back to the business to bring it back up. However, the timing couldn't be any worse.

At this moment Emi had to join an ordinary school. However, she was far above their level. Unknowingly, she made her own enemies. Every time she put her hand up she made a new one. It wasn't her fault she was a top student there but a genius with an IQ that far exceeded them here, because the SA syllabus was always a year ahead from the very start. Putting them amongst the elite results of the nation. The knowledge she had was deep and vast but also the very reason she was pushed aside and hated. The people around her were filled with hatred towards her because they were always compared to her. She endured physical and verbal abuse to the point where she gave up. She went home and pretended like nothing was wrong because when she came home from school there was no one there.

The worse it got the more she changed. The more she changed, the more she changed at home too. From then on they spent little time together. Especially, with Emi staying holed up in her room. However, even if she did not spend as much time with them as before, she was as close to her 18 year old older brother Jace Ryker Hirata, as ever. The only one who knows about her problems but can't do anything about it. He was sent to an elite all boys private boarding school at the age of 10 and can only visit for holidays.

There was only one thing that kept her from staying home or quitting school. The only person that ever talked to her like she was human. The surprise was that he was also called Jace. But he didn't have a middle name. The thing that makes her smile every time she remembers, is how they met, is that he was the one that dragged her to track and field try out and threw her out onto the track just as they started try outs. She just remembers that she ran to stop making an even more fool of herself. She ran and ran twice around the track and then headed straight for him with the same speed and dragged him back in by the ear, too embarrassed to even look at the others or even wait for the teacher's verdict. She dragged him off to the school gym where they both burst out laughing. She just couldn't stay angry at him. He made her smile for the first time in a long time. This was the beginning of a friendship that saved her. He made everything bearable.

Although she was now happier to be in school her parents had noticed her change thanks to her art teacher and now decided to send her back to SA 4 years later. She can go back to the place where she believes she belonged. But now as time has passed, she is afraid to go back. She is afraid to go and find out that she has been forgotten. Too afraid to go back and not recognise a single face. Too afraid to go back and find out that she will again be pushed away by her friends, just like what happened to her 4 years ago.

How will she cope?
Will she stay the way she is? Pushing away all ideas of having friends?

How will she live her life in Sweet Amoris?
