Like I said, I used to be very lonely
7 years ago, I lived in Liverpool with my dad at the AIMPOL laboratory complex which had appartments for it's employees and I was going to school like any kid should. I didn't have friends because I was socialy awkward, not only that but I also didn't really speak at all.
Back then I used to be jealous on the other kids who had friends, and kids who formed groups of friends where they shared things to each other and had confidence to talk about everything. They weren't ashamed to talk about mistakes they did, they weren't ashamed to talk to random girls, they didn't feel any shame to say weird things. If I were to try be like them I'd come out very awkward.
I said to myself my life would be better if I had at least one friend.
I used to watch shows on streaming services where kid protagonists had their own group of friends they come along well and they share the same passions and hobbyes with them, even the nerdy kids who were into video games and weighted more than 80 kilograms had their own groups of friends.
These shows made me think it's pretty easy to meet friends when actually it's pretty hard.
Unfortunately the kids from those shows weren't socially awkward like I am. They had the ability to talk with confidence and could say pretty much anything. They weren't shy like I am.
I knew I wanted to be more confident but I can't find confidence because, when I aproach people I get very nervous no matter who the person is. I tend to think the person I'm facing would destroy me if I say a single word they don't like.
I could never get rid of that feeling no matter what I do.
I believed my fate was to not have friends for the rest of my life, I thought I'll be by myself forever and never see a different side of the life.
My dad knew about my problem and he didn't really know what to do about it although he really want to find a solution for it, so when my birthday came, he told me to come down to his laboratory where he kept all his genetically modified animals. I didn't knew why he would call me in a place like that, he just told me "put your shoes on and come down with me' I'll show you something" and I did as he asked.
We went down in the basement and we walked in the hallway of the laboratory until he stopped at the door we needed to go and put his palm on the palmprint scanner to open the door. After it finished scanning, the thick steel door automatically opened and as It opened, the more and more of the room was revealed to me. The room itself didn't look like a cell made to keep an animal, it looked different to the other cells I saw in the same laboratory. The more and more the door was finishing it's rotation I was realising the room was actually designed for a human. Right at the moment the door was in the angle of 75 degrees I saw Inna for the first time, she was a 10 years old girl with white hair, wolf ears and a fluffy tail. She looked dirty, and the clothes on her seemed worn for weeks, they had folds everywhere, her hair was long and uncombed. What's even worse is that she carried like three different bad smells all together. She smelt like urine, defecation and odor as if she didn't wash for many weeks. There was also pee on the floor
She was cute but dirty. That' my first impression I had of her.
