After the argue with Vanessa she left me and I walked to take a litttle breathe of all that stuff that had happened moments ago. What was the main idea of having a comittee if the one who made it was the one who was creating problems. And what was that with "You are not ready"? The ones who are above the comittee, something like a student council? Not, it's supposed that there is any council here on the school, so what could it be?
While this thoughts were running through my head I ran into Flora accidentally, I could say I get in her way because we both crashed, she almost fell down but I caught her before hitting the ground. "Thanks," she said "and sorry for it."
"Don't worry, I was the one who didn't pay atention," after that I walked away to my room, but she followed me and started to talk. "I heard what happened, is everything ok?" The rumors had already spread huh? "Yes, it is. Why you asking? Are you worried about Johan?" What else could it be? Maybe she met him before because both are from important families, "no, I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about you."
"Why would you be worried about me?" Before answering two girls who passed by our side started laughing, I didn't need her answer, this was why I didn't want to be related with people like her, people who had have everything since their birth, I wasn't there to make friends, I was there because I needed to. She glanced the girls but they just laughed even more. "Sorry, is my fault, I didn't want you to see this."
"What are you talking about, is not like is your fault." I knew she was kind, but it was innecessary, "no, is not because of you. They laguhed because of who I am, and that's why I was worried about you, becase you and I, we are more similar than you think, I know you feel like you don't belong here, but you are not the only one who feel like that, after all I am my family's black sheep as well."
"Sorry but, I don't get it." What was that thing of being the black sheep of her family, even if it was the case, she was part of the nobility, it didn't matter if she was an outcast, it still better than being me, or being someone like me, at least. "The only reason I am here, is because of my mom," she started, "my dad didn't want another child, because my brother was everything the family needed. And he was, in deed. He is just as strong as both, my mother and my father, he is smart, he has my dad's magic, which is more powerful than my mom's. And what is more, he is the first child, and for me, well my magic has too many problems because is a combinatioj between the plants magic that my mom has, and the ignoto magic that my father has. Is hard to control it, and my magic power is not as strong as my brother's, my dad wanted me to learn the chores of the house and use me like a coin to marry any other important noble-family-son, but I wanted to be an Exo, just as my mother, she supported me to enter the academy and also talked with my father to let me be here, I don't know why the director chose me, but being part of the comittee helped too."
"But I never had the privileges that my brother had, I had to learn magic by myself, I was alone you know? There was no one for me, my mother was always busy, my father never liked me, my brother never talked to me, maybe because he didn't like me too, or maybe is just because my dad told him to avoid me in order to become the head of the family, I was just like a doll in a big dollhouse, I'd never had a friend, I'd never fallen in love, I'd never lived a life like the normal people do, I know that is wrong to say it when there are people who had a worse life than mine, but you know? When the director told me to be part of the comittee, I'd hoped that was an opportunity to overcome my problems, but when I arrived that room it was full of talents, even you are amazing, you beated Johan who is son of one of the strongest families, and there was me, but you'd never took advantage of it, you wanted to leave the comittee, just as I do, so that's why I talked to you in class, and I know I am nuisance, but even if I am that for you, you never appeared annoyed, that's why I was worried about you, because you and I, both of us, are similar."
Tears were falling from her eyes, I didn't know what to say, and I hadn't to, my body moved by itself before I could stopped it, I stroked her hair and walked away. She didn't say anything or followed me again, she just stayed there, staring at me like if she was worried of losing me from her sight, I shooked my hand saying good bye, that was all I could for her.
In the early 1800´s, the humanity discovered the first magical creature, just like all the myths and fairy tales have talked about since the very beginning of the mankind history. Months later, the world was struck by an unknown illness that lasted almost 20 years, after that something changed around the world, children began to be born with incredible magical powers. This "new humans" were called "Exos" and started a new era for the mankind. Contries like the United Kingdom, France, Germany and the United States started to implement this "Exos" on their army, and tried to gather the best magical powers for their own benefit. Our story starts two hundred years after the first nexo was born, on the most prestigious academy that was built to raise the children of the most powerful mages (Exos) in the world.
