The Window

Some Questions

"The exact same day I was born in!", said Luna happily.

On the next day, Luna came to me in the afternoon, "Dad, can i ask some questions about the story?", she asked. I felt happy, "Yes of course. Ask away", i said. "Alright. When Roger was 15, he had that "the bravest" dare. What happened to his friends afterwards? You never mentioned them again in the story", Luna said. I replied, " Mark, Arthur, Thomas and Sean seemed to be Roger's only friends, somehow friends,however they betrayed him. On the day of the dare, when they were arguing about something that Roger didn't know, they were actually talking about how "annoying" Roger was. As I told you before, Roger used to think deeply despite his "young" age, and teenagers of his age didn't like it much-they thought he had some sort of a mental illness, and they used to throw rumors in the air like torn papers,beside calling him names. The point is, also these four didn't like Roger, and this whole dare thing was a prank, but they didn't know it was going to go this ugly, and that was why they were "nice" enough to cover up for him. But later, when he found out they lied to him and almost killed him, he was super heartbroken and stopped talking to everyone. He didn't want to have friends anymore. I mean no body wanted to be his friend anyways". "And how did he know they betrayed him?", Luna asked. I answered, "Even though that prank could have made them live nightmares, they were proud afterwards. They went on telling the students in school about their "awesome", "bold", "smart" prank. It was the school's most famous news, especially because it happened to a prince! Many stories were told, each with different details, but all stories agreed on the fact that Roger was put into a prank-he was betrayed. But nobody considered it betrayal, they found it funny and awesome. Therefore, Roger knew the famous news that the whole school is talking about". "Alright, understood. Another question, you never mentioned that Gwen had friends, why?", asked Luna. I said, "Gwen and Roger were so like each other: they both had problems with their families, they both loved reading, they both had deep thoughts, and they both had social issues..they both had anxiety disorder. Gwen suffered from rumors and been called names in school, and she was alone and disliked just like Roger was. However, Gwen was braver than Roger because she smiled in the face of sadness, even if she had to force it, which helped her have less problems than Roger had". "Understood, too", said Luna with a smile, then she added, "You never mentioned how any of the characters in the story looked like. But i just want to know about Roger and Gwen". "Roger. Roger had dark brown hair, it was always messy-Gwen liked it. He had big brown eyes. His lips were small. His smile was small also. His nose was a bit big, like his ears. He was thin, thinner than Gwen, and he was tall.And let's not forget the scar on his chest, and the scars on his wrists that he had because of the times when he used to cut himself because of depression", i said, then added, "Gwen..Gwen was beautiful". Luna laughed then said, "You always say that". Then she said, "oh and, you said that Gwen lived alone, since when she left her parents?". I answered," When she turned seventeen". "The last question, they discovered the magical land through the window in the chamber, but you said that they quit university the day before their engagement day, and you also said that Roger dropped the crown, which means he no longer was a prince, therefore he lost his prince privilege. Well, how could still they go to the magical land?", Luna asked. I smiled a wide smile then said, "You're such a good listener, Luna". She smiled. Then i said, "I'm so sorry i didn't mention it before, but they used to go to the magical land through the window in Gwen's house that later turned to be Gwen's and Roger's house". "Things are more clear now,thank you Dad", she said with a smile. I smiled back then replied, "You're welcome sweetheart".
