Flashback wrote:<"Hey, Hawthorne..." a voice said from behind me. I thought I was walking alone and it was late but I still needed to escape. I would be tested soon and I was determined to pass. "Yeah? What's up?" I asked turning to face the speaker. I cannot remeber who it was anymore but their words would never leave my mind. "About the whole no one picks you thing, we have all decided it is ti-" I cut them off "What, you mean the truth about how no one picks me for anything because I'm small? I've known the whole time." I laughed sadly. It was the laugh of someone coming to terms with their own demise. "I suppose I'm too weak to admit it. Or perhaps I think that maybe if I can prove myself despite my size that I can finally be great. Either way, my size does not matter to me." I forget exactly what I said next. It was was probably something rage-fuled because I remember that I was leaving. I remeber having thrown something at them then leaving. I have never had temper, but at that point in time, it seemed better to use my supposed fury to cover up my sorrow.
A few years passed and I was among unfamiliar faces. I was finally able to become a part of a welcoming society. I was finally among the non-judgemental. Then it happened. I would hear it as I walked through the woods. Murmurs and pieces of hushed conversations of those near-by. There was suspicion that I was here because I had excellent aptitude. A child brought up to this level for my intelligence. At least once a week, someone would have the courage to ask me, "Hey, Lithia, I was wondering... Are you some kind of prodigy?" I pretended to be puzzled, "Nope. I'm just like everyone else!"
In all honesty, it wasn't the words they said that tore me apart, it was the look in their eyes. Their gazes said, "The poor girl. I hope she is just late growing up." but I just smiled and acted like it did not bother me. I would return to my home, turn up the volume on my music, and I would cry. No one could hear my tears and my screams. This lasted for about a year until she was suddenly unable to cry. Not a tear could be shed. "But I still feel the pain.">
