A Public school. Why does it strike as some kind of stunt my parents were pulling off and not because they were empathetic of my feelings?
I sat in my room all alone with my hands supporting my head which now felt overweight with this new burden in mind. I remember when I was young and wanted to go to a public school like the other kids but my parents refused and said I needed good home schooling as they provide you more attention and I won't have any unnecessary distractions. I spent my whole life thinking the same way, the public schooling system is rigid in terms of liberalism and has an extremely studious regime. But that was until mom and dad sent me to the public school for one day along with another maid's daughter, Sicilia, because my attitude was turning stubborn and rebellious as each day passed. School was nothing like they had made it seem like until... I met Grover. Hudson Grover, he was a charming kid in the eyes of many students. Sicilia had a huge crush on him. Being 13 and having a crush was considered normal according to the students in that school, WEIRD. I was home schooled all my life and had cold-hearted parents, I didn't know what love was. When everyone found out I was the heir of the greatest company of the country, they lost their mind. They all wanted to be friends with me, they treated me well and had fake grins all over their face. My eye however had caught a glimpse of something else. There, in the edge of the classroom sat Grover, staring at me with envy. His green eyes gleamed with anger. I seemed to have got all the attention. I hated it. Get it right people! I would have enjoyed school but I wasn't one made for attention. I was a huge introvert and antisocial kid. Grover's anger got me thinking why I didn't get his attention. After class I snuck out unnoticed to help Sicilia confess to that dude. Its more like she was helping me to understand what a confession was. I felt like George from George in the jungle, I had the least knowledge of these "things". As I saw her telling Grover something, he quickly snatched away the flowers from her hand and threw it to the ground. The rest of the boys began to laugh. That's when it happened for the second time, after the previous day's birthday party. My mind went blank and all I saw was a lady whose attire was entirely made of water. "Your first task begins Pallus, defend those who need you." , she said and faded away. I felt my eyes shining like the terminator or something. I felt cool and powerful for a second and next thing I know two boys were on the ground and I had my foot on Grover's head. I stepped off him and turned to Sicilia who just stared at me with awe. "What happened?", I asked. "Eat Ass Hudson! This girl went all chung-li on you.", one of the guys screamed. Of course it was reported to the principal that I had caused a ruckus. My parents were extra cold to me this time. The fight just gave them another reason against going to a public school. That was the last time I had ever seen those faces. I still see Sicilia though, she now studies abroad with a scholarship she attained. She's grown up, maybe even more than me, but she sure hasn't changed. She is still that quirky, fashion freak I had known years ago, I video-call her every week-end... I wish I could say that I stayed the same too, but I am a completely different person now. I had become more violent than my previous self. My mind kept racing.... should I go to a school? Is it worth it? Or is staying home schooled for life a better choice? which one's worse?
