19. teen world

It was autumn and the beginning of a new return to school. For some children it is the worst experience because they have to face another year of people they don't like or worse cases they attack them, for others it was perfect, they could talk about what they had done on her vacation with their friends, For Maeve Hunter this was a middle ground.

She didn't hate school, in fact sometimes she longed to go so she could have some excitement in her life but upon arriving she realized that she really had no reason to be excited.

Maeve was not a social outcast, But she did not feel comfortable around her peers, Not inferior, she just never felt that they would be the kind of people with whom she should be friends.

Some might think it ironic that in such a large school there wasn't a single person with whom Maeve could strike up a friendship, but that's how it was.

The good thing is: The loneliness never bothered her.

Starting the day with their school's tradition, highlighting the merit of all those star students during the previous school year.

Maeve waited patiently among the crowd and the applause, she wanted to finish the ceremony quickly and start her classes.

Maeve kept her head buried in her book the entire time until she heard one last name.

The girl was always noted for her quick learning, in many things, she was good in mathematics, history, science, physics, computing, in art above all, obviously Maeve was not good at everything, that would be impossible, physical activities such as theater, dance , or any sport were her least prized skills.

But she wasn't bad, she just wasn't good. Being the middle ground in everything is something she became accustomed to, at least in her teenage years.

"You are good, but you are not excellent." "You didn't succeed, But at least you didn't fail." "You're smart, but you don't put in the effort."

There was always a but in many things. Because Maeve Hunter couldn't be a star, how could she?

Is the girl who eats lunch alone while reading a book a genius? The girl who doesn't even have parents? What would they teach her in an orphanage? Come on.

They are words that Maeve didn't know her teachers said about her, at least not until she grew up.

A star on your forehead doesn't seem that significant until you stop to think about it.

Maybe she wasn't a star, Maybe it was about getting recognition for what you're good at. Maeve wasn't interested in receiving something she didn't deserve but when you know you deserve something and you don't get it; It's heartbreaking.

But those things were never important to Maeve.

It was the same every year.

Maeve clearly remembers the day her school took the seniors, including her, on a field trip to different colleges in different states.

NYU sounded promising to Maeve, but she didn't even know if she could afford it or even go to college.

The trip was so long and exhausting, but at least they were now at their last stop.

MIT.

If NYU was already an unattainable dream for Maeve, she won't even allow herself to dream about it.

Spencer Reid was relatively weird, always has been. He understood from a very young age the expression "Fish out of water." When you are always the oldest in height and the youngest in each room, but always being the oldest in terms of intellect.
