Hi and Hello. This chapter might be a little short in your standards, sorry! Also, uh, please criticize me on my mistakes. Even if it's a tad bit harsh, I won't get offended. Okay, maybe not too harsh. Anyway, thanks for reading? Idk what to say. Guess as I write I'll find me style.
MoiMe out!
(Cheesy?)
The gooey sweet melted in my mouth as I ate the mallowmelt. Mallowmelt was like the only good thing about Foxfire. And I was going to use that "good thing" as long as it lasted. As I continued daydreaming and eating mallowmelt, I heard footsteps behind me. Slowly turning my head around, I saw the person I hoped to not see.
"Stina." There was a tone of disgust in my voice as I spoke.
"Why, the glaring, Aurya? It's just me." She fluttered her eyelashes.
I rolled my eyes. "What do you want?"
"Oh, nothing! I just saw you sitting alone and my friend Marella's hanging out with the trash gang so I thought I'd talk to you." Stina said glaring behind me. I turned around and saw those elves that were always together- the ones who hung out with the Moonlark. Marella was sitting next to a Strawberry blonde elf and giggling. They all seemed so happy, I envied them so much. My life on the other hand, wasn't that great. Both my parents were in prison and a gnome took care of me. And everyone who knew my parents were arrested treated me like crap and-
"Are you even listening to me?!" Stina snapped. She was now sitting next to me.
"Why would I?"
"Because you have no one else to listen to." I lowered my gaze because she was right. I had no one else to listen to. I was alone.
I sighed. "Can you just leave me be?"
Stina narrowed her eyes at me. "Fine, it's not like I want to show sympathy to a loser like you." She got up and stalked off. I got up, as well, Stina's words still in my head.
"Because you have no one else to listen to." I didn't like that she was right, but that's how things were. No one wanted to hang out with me because of my parents so why was I beating myself up about this? I shook my head and jogged out of the cafeteria.
…
"Darlena, I'm home!" I shouted as I put my home crystal away.
"Ah, my little Ari! How are you?" A soft voice asked from the garden. I ran towards the garden to see the small gnome watering some flowers.
"I'm okay."
Darlena turned around, smiling. "I'm glad. I made some starkflower stew if you're hungry."
"Really? And custard bursts?" I asked, hopeful.
Darlena shook her head. "Sorry, Aurya. I didn't."
I leaned down and hugged her. "It's okay."
Darlena took care of me since I was 6 years old. She was there to always assist my parents, so when they left, they also left me in her hands. She took care of me ever since.
…
After eating a stomach full of starkflower stew and doing my homework I lay on my bed, thinking about the moonlark and her friends. Would they like me? They liked the moonlark and she was made in a lab. Nonetheless, I doubted it. No one liked me. Sighing, I pulled my covers up and attempted to sleep.
