Reynold High

The girl that used to be

Today was a boring day, but luckily for Taufan, he found something he could do:Help Calvin assign books.

"Hm?"Taufan stared at a class picture. "Hey Calvin!"He called.

"You called?"He rolled to him with his skate.

"Yup"He showed him the picture and pointed at a little girl with braces. "Who is this? I don't think I saw her anywhere here"

"Ah, yes"He chuckled. "That's Sabrina"

"What!?"Taufan shouted in surprise.

"Unbelievable right?"

"Yes! She looks like a completely different person!"

"I know, that's how Sabrina used to look or more, used to be"

"Woah.. she sure did change"

"Mhm, she used to be bullied. We were in the same class that's why I know it"He took another picture from the shelf and pointed at a little boy in the back. "And this is Noah"

"Sabrina's admirer right? He is in the lower class"Taufan remembered.

"Correct! Noah is the reason why Sabrina changed"

"How come?"

"I don't know the detail, but all I know is that he was the one who comforted her"

"Ohh, I see."He paused. "But how do you know it actually?"

"Let's just say that I might happen to pass by"

Sobs were heard from the empty alley, a little girl crying on her own.

"U-um.."A younger boy nervously approached her. "A-are you okay..?"

"Go away.."The girl replied, still keeping her head tuck between her arms as she hugged her legs.

The boy seemed troubled, looking around as he wondered what he should do. In the end he decided to sit next to her and do his best.

"I told you to leave.."

"I-I know"He stuttered, collecting his whole confident to talk. "But you seem like you need comfort.."

"I'm not weak!"She exclaimed and looked at him with her grey eyes, a little fire deep within, barely shining.

"I never said you were.."He mumbled.

"But you thought it.."

"No, I didn't..!"He said with a little more confidence.

"As if"She rolled her eyes, tears still streaming down her face.

"Why would I think that you're weak?"He asked. "I don't even know you, and besides.." He pointed at himself. "If you're weak then what am I? Useless?"

"No.."She mumbled.

His eyes lightened, a genuine smile appearing on his face. "Now, let's wipe those tears hm?"He took a tissue out of his pocket and gave it to her.

"Thank you.."She did as told and looked at him again, but was surprised to see his fascinated expression.

"Woah.. you're pretty!"

"You think so..?"She asked, not believing her ears.

"Mhm!"

"But everyone said.."She mumbled, cruel words echoing in her head.

"Don't listen to them! You're very pretty! I bet that they are just jealous of you"He grinned.

"Really..?"

"Yes!"He took out a little mirror out of his schoolbag and mirrorred it to her. "See that? That's your face. A pretty one at that!"

The little fire grew, turning into a strong flame as she saw herself in the mirror. Not the one she thought everyone saw, but the one that she actually is.

She took the mirror and stared at her image. "Is that really me..?"

"Of course!"His smile brithened. "A pretty gem among dull ones"

"Okay, now you're just flattering me"She chuckled, pink spreading across her cheeks.

"It's not flattering if it's the truth"He tilted his head, seeming to genuinely believe his words.

Her cheeks reddened even more and she quickly covered her face.

"Hehe"He giggled.

"Noah! Where are you?"A woman's voice called out.

"Ah! Oh no, mom must be worried!"He quickly stood up, waved and left to his mother.

"Wait, your mirror!"She shouted, but was too late. "Hm.."She stared at the mirror, watching herself with a smile.

"A pretty gem among dull ones"

"It's not flattering if it's the truth"

"Hehe"She giggled. "How cute"

"Noah.."Her smile brightened. "I hope we will meet again!"

"And what is my little cutie doing today?"Sabrina smiled as she watched Noah talk about her to his friends like he often does. "Aww, how adorable he is"

Lmao, I randomly got the perfect backstory for them XD

Little Noah doesn't remember her btw.

He is an adorable and shy bean like Thorn, just a bit more shy. :3

The war chapter will be written someday else when I have motivation.
