(NORTH CAROLINA, 2015)

Minerva was sitting under the good ,old banyan tree. The sun was sinking into its mighty bed of clouds leaving behind an reddish orange hue . The wind whistled and the birds chirped. But little Minerva was sitting there all tensed. She wondered how she was going to make it through. One little mistake and it would all be useless. As the flood of thoughts and emotions occupied her mind, she felt a gentle tap on her shoulders.

"Hey dudo. Wat u doin here?" spoke a voice. It was Collete. She's Minerva's best friend , basically the only friend she's got.

"Nothin, just...! " - she replied disappointed. "It's the physics test, isn't it? " inquired Collete. Minerva was a complete brainey student, but she sucked at physics. Literally, if she failed she'd have to bid college a farewell.

"Its tomorrow and I have no clue what I'm supposed to do" Minerva exclaimed.

"Well I do, go home and study!" Collete replied, with a giggle.

As, the stars prepared the dark platform for the moon to come along, the two friends walked abode. Minerva belonged to a wealthy family. Her house was grand yet lonely. It was no less than a palace, the long royal curtains, the extra large windows and all so. AS grand was the house was it deserted as well. Merly 3 people resided there out of which only few could be seen. Minerva usually spent her time within her room that was no less than a sweet prison. Her dad was a scientist and stayed at his lab for days , at times even months.

Poor little Minerva had her books, her only friend Collete and her skills in her life that she valued. None other soul did she care for. For her love was loyal to the ones that cherished it. Sad enough, besides Collete no one discovered her qualities. No one as interested to.
