Chapter 3: Acceptance

The school bell could be heard ringing through the empty hallways as the school day was over. All the students were walking out from the educational estate but all except a certain dreamer. She was held up in the principle's office for going into a big dispute with a highly snob teenager like herself. Just thinking about it gave her the steam through her ears of how rude she was to her. Just because she a bit different than everyone else in the entire school, she was a certain target to get picked on. Her back sulked downwards on the chair as her arms crossed together with an irritation look on her face. But what trouble her more was hearing her father was coming in to have an interview with the head educator and that worried her. She wasn't all that bad. Just being accepted into an environment like a high school is what made it hard for her. She felt she had never been given a chance to prove herself. It felt like a battle which she never won. A sigh was let out from her lips as she glanced at the window near her again. Her amber orbs focused on the scenery of the teenagers hanging out outside and laughing. Mainly just having a good time with one another which she felt she had never had that experience. The only fun time she really ever had was with her racing team. She could faintly remember practicing training her large spinning over hover turns, hanging out with her partner Jordan, spending some close moments with Princes Aikka, and just having that feeling she felt being accepted of who she was instead of being someone she wasn't. Why couldn't things be that easy here on Earth? It seemed pretty hopeless at this pointing turn.

SLAM! , was heard from the door above the entrance as it awoke Eva from her thoughts. She could see the shadows coming forward towards her and one of the figures could easily be seen to her. It was her father, Don Wei. He looked upset and disappointing all in the same time. It gave his daughter a bit of a let down herself. Seeing him in that state was never noticed. The only time was when she lost some races but even then it didn't look half bad. Her fingers fiddled around with each other as her orbs looked downwards as she couldn't face her father so well at the moment. As the knob turned, the two adults came in. Don Wei took a seat near his daughter as he eyed her for a moment but her focus was on the floor. The principle came to his enormous chair as he gazed at the father and daughter in his office. "Well, Mr. Wei. I apologize to call you in from work but we had a quarrel today with your daughter. You see, she was in a fight with one of our top cheerleaders. They were caught out in the tracking field. You can now see why I had to call you in for this appointment," as the head educator kept his hands together with a firmness. Don nodded somewhat as he listened closely on what his daughter had done as he replied back, "I see. Well, I can assure you it won't happen again. Eva is a strong willed person who can achieve anything. Social life may be just complicated for her." His daughter glanced at him with her orbs; did he not know how hard it was her to fit it? It didn't exactly seem like it. "I understand. But still, that's no excuse for her actions today. Therefore, I will have to suspend her until further notice," as the principle stated but Eva stood up with a state of shock as she spoke out of term, "But that's not fair! That girl started the fight! I had nothing to do it with it until she made some remarks and took the first punch!" The head educator then said, "Mr. Wei, control your daughter!" Don Wei got up and placed his hands on her daughter's shoulders to calm her down somewhat. Eva gave some breaths of rage but feeling her father's touch made her more at ease. "If Miss Wei doesn't shape up, I'm going to have to expelled her," as the educator said. "I…understand. Come Eva, we must go," as Don Wei lead his daughter out of the school office and closed the door behind them.

On the drive home, it became silent. Not a word at edge wise was heard among the two family members. Don kept his concentration on the road while Eva stared out the car window, seeing the trees go by. Her father had to break stillness between them as he said, "Eva…I know your still going through a rough time fitting it, but it can't be that bad." Her eyes then shot up with a glare at him, "What makes you sure so that it's a piece of cake, huh? Do you even know the rumors and the looks I get? Do you know how hard it is to join a study group when everyone claims they're full? Do you know how stupid it looks to eat by yourself? To be alone?! No…you don't." Don glanced at his daughter before she looked back to the window. It was clear it was affecting her greatly but that shouldn't stop his daughter from achieving. The car drove up to the drive way as the two got out. Eva ran to the door as she unlocked it and ran upstairs. Don called out to her, "Eva! We aren't finish talking about this yet!" Eva took a moment to look back down at her father, "How can we finish talking about this when you don't even comprehend what I'm telling you at all?!" "Eva!", her father said before she ran to her room and slammed the door with all her might. A sigh and rub to his head was shown towards Don as he needed some coffee to take all this in…
