Over Time, Over Space

A/N: That was quick, was it not, dear readers? LOL

Nancy's POV

My name is Nancy Li; I'm thirteen years old and live in Montreal, Canada. My Chinese name is Li Xing Lei and am a student in the Villa Saint Marcelline private School for girls. I hang out with my best friends, Carline Festoon and Maria Godson.

My "friendship" with Darcy started when I was in Welcome Class, in Canada. I had no friends. Everybody thought me strange, even crazy, because I didn't like Pokemon or rap, while they were incontestable experts in these subjects and in fashion in general. In other words, I was not accepted because I was different. Only some Chinese girls stayed with me. We always played together, but I need another friend, a friend who would not leave me for the whole world. I have chosen Darcy as an imaginary friend.

That's how it all began.

Even with Carline Festoon and Maria Godson by my side, I could not forget. Nobody accepted my abundant imagination. People accepted me without accepting my imagination. All they saw was an intellectual and talkative "literature freak". Carline was probably the only one who knew my big need-and dependence –on Darcy's friendship, however farfetched or strange it might seem to the others.

Inside me, I knew something -which this friendship wouldn't change. How did I know that? I did not know. All I knew was that I need this friendship, I want this friendship. I have no others desires.

Over space, over time, over every humane and natural obstacle, I stayed loyal to Darcy. As an admirer, as a friend. I loved his presence. I felt so safe and happy at his side-at least, what I imagined as his side. I loved him in a friendly and fraternal way. I have perhaps felt a small romantic admiration for him shortly after I saw the movie "Pride and Prejudice (version 1940), but nothing after a few weeks, a few months. Now I see him as what he really is for me: an imaginary friend and protector.

Over time, over space, I tried to help him out of troubles.

Had he been right in front me I would tell him the truth in these words: "You know, Darcy, I have never cared about the obstacles between I love you as a friend, thats all I know. I stayed loyal to you over space, over time."

Yes, Darcy. Over space, over time.
