Fitting In

How Big Is The Universe?

"How big is it?" asked young Ellie, "what? the universe?"  replied her friend, "Yes!" said Ellie, she was so excited to grow up, she wanted to hold her own books to class, she wanted to sit on a desk just like students in elementary school do! But she wasn't more than an ambitious preschooler. "Daydreaming again little Ellie?" asked her pissed teacher for the fourth time this day. She was a little girl who dreamt about her adult self, how will she look?, how will she talk?, what will she be good at? Ellie had so much on her mind, but little did she know that it wasn't going to be the perfect life she was dreaming of.

"She has been a good girl, in fact, she is on the honor list!" said Ellie's teacher to her parents in delight. Well, Ellie was too young to know what an honor list was or what it's like to be on one, all what was on her mind was her colorful backpack that held her books beside her girly pencil case, since she wasn't allowed to hold any of these back in kindergarten. She started her 2nd year in elementary school diligently, her grades were soaring just like her happiness, she was truly living her dream! She was her parents' cutie pie, Umm...well, not exactly, she was a little bit more energetic than normal kids are, she jumped everywhere, ran all over the house, broke souvenirs and glass tables, yelled and laughed out loudly, she even hurt herself several times, Ellie wasn't that mature at home as she was at school after all.

Ellie kept up her hard effort for three years in a row, her teachers' loved her for that, so did her friends. At break time, students used to flock begging her to play with them, crying for her friendship, she liked that, but didn't know it wasn't going to last for long...
