FLOWER

PROLOGUE

Nature is unfair a week ago summer today winter. And a whole month of choosing the right outfit has gone down the drain. But never mind, I'm about to see Cosinus with my own eyes and maybe Tangens himself. I'll have a word with them after all it's a meeting with the fans. I can't believe my luck so far. Only this awful weather wants to spoil my mood. 

The frost pinches my cheeks, my nose, my ears. The temperature slowly unhurriedly freezes the fingers of my hands, despite keeping them in the pockets of my thin coat. A harsh wind smears the wavy hair that falls loosely on my shoulders. And to make matters worse, it also wraps around my neck and gets through the top unbuttoned garment into my dress. Even tights and mid-thigh boots fail to protect me from the severe cold. But looking at my sister makes me realise that sometimes it's worth the pain. Against the backdrop of the white fluffy covering covering the entire park, she resembles a black snowman. Except for a small patch revealing her eyes.

Unwittingly, my teeth start grinding as the wind picks up. I watch in horror as my sister reaches out to me with my hat and scarf.

- Alternatively, gloves I can put on.

Her gaze tries to pin me to the floor, but has not yet succeeded once. So I look at her expectantly. I hope she has the thin cream ones, they match my styling. Of course she pulls out those red toads with the white teddy bear.

- Forget it.

- Somehow you wore them yesterday and survived.- I sigh in disapproval. How many more times do I have to make her aware.

- They matched my outfit.- At my words she rolls her eyes. I notice her black gloves. Altogether with my boots ... . She starts to pull them down to hand them to me on an outstretched hand. - Thank you.

I accept and dress the warm deliverance. My fingers begin to thaw. And my sister already has red gloves on and is opening my bag.

- Ey. You want something specific. Just ask. - But she quickly puts on her hat and scarf. - I don't need this superfluous clothing. - I hiss.

- I can just see it. - She looks at me with disbelieving eyes.I have to go to the toilet, are you coming with me?

- No.

- Take you something warm to drink?

- Raspberry tea.

- Don't walk away. I'm not going to fly all over town for maths you understand! It's enough for me to be here with you.

- This has nothing to do with a school subject! They have names Tangens, Cotangens, Sine, Cosine, Secans, Cosecans.- Sister sighs, takes off one glove pulls out her phone and starts snooping around in it. - The biggest influencers in the world will be filming in our park today! A little understanding. - I am talking to her unnecessarily, my sister is not listening to me. Suddenly I get a message from her. I glance over at her.

- You know? Those logos of their like triangles, diagrams, patterns are not just any sketch. Read up on it, maybe you won't ridicule yourself in front of your biggest idols after all. - I murder her with a look. And the sister continues anyway. - I thought maths was black magic for me. But apparently it doesn't measure up to you. - I lead her away with my eyes until she disappears from my sight.

I still have a moment, the princesses are late as usual. I unwillingly open the message. One glance at the screen is enough for me. Where could she go wrong! She must be right, why am I the only one in the family who doesn't have this gift? I sigh in frustration as I delve into the reading, perhaps it wouldn't hurt to learn a little. A message from my mum comes to me, what a miracle she has such perfect timing.
