When the kids were back at school, Etzia's homeroom teacher was running late, and everyone was chatting until the teacher came. Etzia and her acquaintances were in the back seats talking about the day of the festival.
Etzia
So, does anyone know who the kid in the green uniform is?
Everyone was looking at each other, and they didn't hesitate to answer. They knew who she was talking about.
Janel
"Why a sudden question?"
Etzia
"During the festival, I saw a kid in the food stand wearing a green uniform, and she had strange paper..."
Juda
"Etzia, do you know you saw an important person? Do you know her name? They are like celebrities, and they are some special children best known to the public."
I looked at them, sorry I am busy lately and I didn't have time.
Janel
"Etzia, do you ever watch the news because sometimes they show up?"
Etzia
"No why?"
Hayeong
(looking thoughtful) Yeah, I think that's one of the special children. They tend to hang around the council, you know.
Etzia
Special children? Why the council wants special children?
Juda
They're basically groomed to serve the council. Their skills are like—something. They have their own headquarters and everything.
Heyeong
"Let me explained the kid you saw at the festival is part of the special children. They are the ones who are close to the council, which is under their influence. They have unique skills, and they go to missions. They have their own headquarters and their own academy, so they can't live with civilians like us, but sometimes they do tasks for other communities. "
"The council gives them their own riches at a young age that will help them in the future. That's why I want to be like them. The Light Council gives them more trust and has greater expectations for them."
Etzia
So, they're really something.
Janel
It's not just that. They are—rich.
Zeno
"Anyway, you know how lucky you are to be close to a celebrity, although you should do the same things that other kids do. Not all of us can be lucky enough to counter something like that. Maybe we can use your lucky charm to win the lottery or something."
Juda
But think about it— The Light Council trusts them. They expect more, sure, but they also get opportunities, Etzia. Wouldn't you want that?
Hayeong
Anyway, you can't be chosen to be a special child.
Janel
Sometimes, what we think we want isn't what we actually need.
So let them do their work and focus of ours.
(The teacher came, and everyone stopped chatting).
Etzia
Okay.

FantasíaHey! Just a heads-up-this story might feel a little rushed and has its fair share of plot holes. It's my first time writing something with script-style dialogue and pacing, so I'm still figuring things out. Thanks for giving it a chance! ***********...
