As an autistic child, moving into a new environment was a very big deal for Mia. She wasn't just autistic, she was a teenager and many normal teenagers couldn't handle moving into a new environment, so it was a very big setback for Mia. To crown it all, not even a single person liked Mia in her new environment. She always had to deal with bullying in junior high and now she had to face the same thing in her new school in senior high.After her classmate had tied her hair into a crazy nut she was trying to lose it in the bathroom but had serious trouble doing it."Don't try to get it loose. You look cute this way, next time I think I should just cut your hair " Lakshmi told her as she walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.Lakshmi was an Indian girl who moved to America to study, her parents had lots of money, they were filthy rich but the only problem that she had was that her family wasn't settled at a place. They always moved from one country to another and she fou
Mia suddenly realized herself after she had dumped the smoothie on Lakshmi, her necklace was also glowing again but she didn't notice. Her walk home was a lonely one as usual, she was passing by a tree when she saw a cat stuck in a tree. It was so high up and it looked scared. Mia hated animals but she also knew what it felt like to be alone and helpless.So she tried to make it come down but it wouldn't, she finally came up with a way. She saw a huge stone on the floor and aimed exactly 4 millimeters away from the cat. The cat thought she wanted to hit it so it panicked and jumped down from the tree, landing on its feet.She picked up her school bag which she had dropped earlier and continued her walk to the orphanage."Oh no! What is that?" One of the kids at the orphanage screamed and ran away from Mia when he saw the glowing necklace on her neck.Mia looked confused as she looked around to check if the boy had seen a ghost or a wild animal but she didn't see any."Look there it is
After Mia had saved Lakshmi's life, she couldn't even remember what actually triggered Lakshmi to start behaving that way towards her. Three days later a class was going on when Mia suddenly covered her ears with her hand."What? No! No" Mia kept screaming in the middle of the class. The teacher and all the students paused to look at her. The students who were sitting next to Mia stood up from their seats and moved away from her. She threw her books that were on the table to the floor."Mia are you okay?" Lakshmi, who was the only person that actually cared, quickly began to walk towards Mia."Please don't leave me, please don't leave me" Mia kept on screaming and broke down in tears."Mia no one is going to leave you okay?" Lakshmi comforted Mia. She stood over Mia and made her rest her head on her waist while Mia sat on the chair.Surprisingly to Lakshmi, Mia wrapped her hand around her waist crying uncontrollably. Lakshmi gasped in fear but after some time she hugged Mia's neck gen
At Mia's schoolMia was walking down the hallway when she got distracted by a voice."Here Mia" Kyle yelled from afar to get Mia's attention. Mia turned to look at him, though not looking directly at him."Catch" Kyle threw a ball aiming directly for Mia's face.Just then, Lakshmi came from nowhere and hit the ball, making it change direction, bouncing on a locker before landing on the floor.Kyle was surprised and Lakshmi lowered her eyes, making them half closed, she walked over to the ball and picked it up before slowly walking towards Kyle's direction."You know, you should tell someone far ahead of time before trying to play a game of catch with them unless you might get hurt yourself" Lakshmi used the ball to hit Kyle on the stomach."Ooh" Kyle clutched his stomach and gasped in pain."Don't even try it" Lakshmi warned Kyle's friends who wanted to approach her. They retreated in their movements and helped Kyle to stand straight."What business do you have with who I play catch w
At Mia's orphanage home"My kite is broken now, go away" one of the kids around 3 years old was scolding another, who was almost the same age as her. She had been flying her kite when the kids bumped into her and the kite crashed into a tree.Mia watched as the two kids fought over a small issue and she wondered why such a trivial issue could cause a disagreement in the first place."I'll help you get your kite down and I'll fix it as well" Mia offered, fixing her eyes on the floor."No go away, you aren't wanted" the owner of the kite chased her. Mia still didn't listen, she used a stick to try and bring down the kite but she created a hole in it in the process.The little girl burst into tears and went to report Mia to one of the staff."Why did you even do that? She asked you not to and yet you went ahead. So you are stubborn and weird?" The lady scolding Mia raised an eyebrow.Mia, who was being scolded, wasn't paying attention, she was trying to fix the little girl's kite but she
Mia sat on the bench outside alone while everyone was enjoying their lunch. She saw a little girl playing in the sandbox but what drew her attention to this little girl was her lava red hair. She walked up to her and introduced herself."Hi I'm Mia" she saif sweetly, the little girl dropped the shovel she was playing with in the sandbox just so she could focus her attention on Mia."You are an orphanage" the girl openly blurted out."Yes but aren't, we all orphans in this place, what's your name?" Mia was still nice to her. Lakshmi had been teaching her how to communicate so she decided to use the little girl as a test subject."I am not an orphan, I have a mum" the girl beamed at Mia with a smile and Mia felt very offended, her smile was clearly fake and Mia just didn't settle well with her."Your eyes, they are green. They are glowing as well" Mia pointed out and intended to go closer to the girl but she quickly moved back from her."Don't you ever try to touch me again or else I wi
At the orphanage"I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you" the little girl apologized before another child came to call her."I want to go now" she waved Mia bye.Mia looked at the food and felt there was no harm in it so she just ate it. After much thought, Mia decided that she was going to spend her weekend in Lakshmi's house, then she could help her practice more. The little time she spends after school with her would never be enough for her to learn a dance before the dance competition.At Mia's schoolFor some reason Lakshmi refused to talk to Mia but little did she know that Mia herself didn't notice. Mia was so used to being alone that she hadn't quite adjusted to Lakshmi's presence."Lakshmi I want to ask you something, may I?" Mia walked over to Lakshmi who was leaning on her locker while she was busy with her phone."Yes, what is it?" Lakshmi didn't take her eyes off her phone. She didn't even want to look at Mia, she wanted Mia to notice her vexation."Can I spend the weekend
At the orphanageThe staff was left with no choice but to let Mia go when she saw Lakshmi's car driving towards them. She didn't quite agree at first but after much persuasion from Lakshmi she finally gave in."Please ma'am, my life depends on this right now" Lakshmi was being too dramatic even Mia found it amusing."Is any guardian going to be there? I mean your parents, will your parents be there?" The lady kept on questioning Lakshmi who clearly had no patience and endurance."Yes my nanny is going to be there, my parents are out of town for now" Lakshmi still kept her hands together and was pleading with the lady who was having quite a battle of different thoughts in her head."Okay but she will be back by Monday afternoon right?" The lady asked again and Lakshmi agreed to bring Mia back from school on Monday."She really loves you so much" Lakshmi told Mia once they were seated comfortably in the car." No she doesn't. No one there loves me, she is just doing that so she doesn't
