My parent were married politically and not out of love. Soon I was born, but was ignored by my parent, I suffered severe coldness from both of them. I felt like an outsider in my own home, the servants everyone ignored me when I was sick, hurt or crying. I envied the kids I see having fun with their families.
I wanted to be loved to, I wanted someone to hold me, someone to hear me out, someone to heal the wounds I had that hasn't heal. Someone I can rely on. I tried fitting in with the other Nobel kids, but everyone knows about me broken family.
My father shamelessly brings in his mistresses even when mother was there. I see my mother having affairs with some of the servants sometimes even those fat rich nobels, they didn't have shame. I felt disgusted by them. I learned to do things on my own, I didn't need anyone. That's what I thought until that fateful day. I went to a gathering with my mother, the kids were in a different room to play together, that's when I saw her, I have seen many Nobel girls but she was different.
She had pink hair which was not common at all, it was the first time seeing it,from afar I could tell that it was fluffy and soft, she had pink eyes too which shined like crystals. Her fair pale skin made her look like a human doll, I wanted to see her up close, I wanted to touch her rosy cheeks, but I know I couldn't do that. Maybe the others told her about me, and she doesn't like me like the others.
As I was standing there, a couple of the boys came to drag me outside near the river. One held onto me while the other punched me in the stomach. I was used to it since even my own mother sometime encourage them to do it. She doesn't tell them to stop suddenly they pushed me into the river, I didn't know how to swim. The commission alert the others, even when I was drowning, I saw how the others didn't even try to save me. They all looked at me with hatred. My own mother walked away after looking at me drowning.
No one wanted me.They all wanted me to die.I did nothing wrong, while drowning, I heard a splash, I saw pink hair, then I was held upwards. The next thing I felt was a cold yet warm thing on my lips, then small hands on my chest. Someone was pushed my chest and giving me air. When I opened my eyes, I saw her, she was up close, I could see her clear pink eyes upclose, She was wet from head to toe.
" Are you okay? How many fingers do you see." she asked in a small squeaky voice. It was warm and sweet.
"Yeah." I replied as I held her hand to stand up.
Then I saw something that gave me a shock, all the bullies that had bullied me were crying, their faces bruised as their parents looked at them.
Everyone looked at us scared. And I could tell the person who did this was her. Then some maids came to us and escorted us to change our wet close. After changing, I saw her sitting near my door. She smiled brightly at me, I felt like I was dying, my heart was beating so fast.
