"𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲?" Snow asked as curiosity coursed through his veins. In the past three months, he had seen her around the Capitol often and wanted to know more as the days passed.
The girl hesitated for a moment before speaking. "𝗖𝗮...

The sun wasn't shining as Tigris walked to the market, alone lost in her thoughts. The new environment she was now living in— with another girl in the house —, seemed like a unique adventure that included so many things to find out, so many lessons to learn and so many possibilities to see life from a different perspective and finally let the cool breeze move away all the gray, miserable clouds that had gathered above her, making each step she took darker and harder.
Tigris had listened to Calista and the exact following day had taken all the things back to her room and the two girls were sharing the same room. Truth be told, even though Tigris wanted to give Calista time to adjust and offer the most she could to her, it was hard to leave her bedroom to someone else because it was like she left a part of herself behind. But this wasn't the reason she was happy about going back to that room. Tigris believed that being in the same place as Calista was a huge chance — she couldn't lose — to finally make a friend.
She of course had Coriolanus, but it differed a lot to have a best friend with whom you could share every little detail of your day and listen to you without getting bored. A girl that you knew appreciated all that you did and erased all the ugly thoughts, fears, and insecurities only by giving you the attention you had always been looking for but no one was there to give it to you; because everyone confronted you as the shy good girl who you could easily manipulate and make do all he favors you needed.
It's unbelievable how cruel the world is and when they meet a wallflower person instead of wanting to look deep inside and discover all the rare sides of their personality, they just find your weakness, focus on it and when they take what they want they leave you there, helpless.
Having someone with whom you could share your darkest nightmares and they would still hold your hand and try to lead you to the light, ensuring they will be forever by your side. A person you could be your cleverest version of yourself and never get jealous of you but only feel proud of the progress you have made. Someone who will always admire you and accept the dark and shiny parts of you, who will never judge you about being yourself and let you do the dumbest things without caring if you embarrass them, without confronting you as a weirdo.
A girl you know you can run any time to when your eyes are filled with tears because someone broke your heart again into a million pieces and life got away your hope once again. She will hold you in her arms until all your sobs calm down and your breath returns to its normal rhythm, and then she will discuss it with you even if it's the same topic. She will comfort you again and again until you feel worthy again. She will wipe away all the salty tears that have marked your soft, pale skin reminding you what you deserve.
