"#%9€=!, sometimes to make the right choice, you'll need to sacrifice something dear to you." the woman said.
"Like....the secret?" the girl asked. The woman nods.

"Mr. Maib is mean." I say.
"Not to me." Yavara says.
"Yeah, because you're rich." I mumble.
"Why does everyone always say that? Is that you people's excuse for everything? 'Oh, Yavara probably has the best dorm room because she's rich.' 'Yavara probably has her own special room to eat lunch in because she's rich.' Oh, I could never forget this one: 'Yavara is so good at MMA! Who trains her? Oh, she probably gets special training lessons from an MMA master because she's rich.' You guys need to learn money isn't everything. Money doesn't fix every problem you have." Yavara snaps back.
"Well, sor-ry you can't handle the truth." I respond rudely. That's enough to get Yavara mad. Yavara's ears start to turn red, but quickly returns back to their original color. Dang, would've been interesting to see what happens when she gets mad.
"Oh....ok then. I'm sorry for that too." Yavara responds, unnaturally happy.
"Wait....what?" I question.
"What do you want? You've—oh hey look! Let's go get something from the town square!" Yavara quickly replies.
"Sounds fun." Relvin states. We head into the town square and soon, we're stopped by a man.
"Oh, there you are!" he exclaims, stopping Yavara and hugging her. Relvin and I both raise an eyebrow.
"I could recognize you from anywhere, Myksi." the man states, still hugging Yavara.
"I'm sorry sir, I'm not Alion (ALLY•ON), nor do I know her. Maybe you got me confused with someone else." Yavara suggests, pulling away from the man's hug.
"No, I know I haven't. I could recognize my daughter from a mile away. You look exactly like your mother." the man says, holding Yavara's face. Yavara pulls away for the second time.
"Sorry, I don't know you. You must be confused." Yavara states.
"Of course you probably don't, you were taken from me when you weren't even 3 months old." the man explains.
"Ummm really sir, you must be confusing me with another person. My friends and I really have to get going, see you around." Yavara says, pulling both of us away from the square.
"Who was that man?" Relvin asks.
"I don't know." Yavara answers, confused.
"Why did he think you were his daughter?" I ask, curious.
"Don't know, sometimes people mistake me for someone else. This is different though, this man.....he was sure I was his daughter." Yavara states again.
"Yeah......that was.....really weird." Relvin comments.
"I don't care, let's just go home. I'm getting tired anyways." Yavara quickly wraps up. She speeds up ahead of us and makes her way home fast. I soon make it home right after her.
  "So....Yavara, aren't you going to train?" I ask, walking on the driveway.
  "Nah, not really, my mom says too much training is bad for you." Yavara answers happily, walking towards the front door.
  "How'd you become so strong then?" I question.
  "Don't know. I guess when I trained I trained harder than anyone should of." Yavara assumes.
  "Yavara.....why did you sit with us?" I ponder.
  "When?" Yavara questions.
  "During the last week of school. Why did you sit with us?" I ask more clearly this time.

  To be honest, I don't really know. There was a perfectly reasonable excuse but I forgot right after she asked me. Oh! Now I remember. Maj was sitting with her at the lunch table and I needed to talk to him. It was about something private.
  "I had to talk to Maj. Also, I wanted to sit at a table and eat lunch. Plus, Maj is weird and is the only one who likes the tater tot salad." I state.
  "I thought you like the tater tot salad!" Relvin exclaims, surprised.
  "Nah, not really. I just like the tater tots in it." I say.
  "Oh really?" Verlynn asks.
  "I'm getting hungry, let's go." I say, quickly darting off.

Well, she's not Humaveran, so how is she so strong? It can't possibly be normal training. Normal training won't make you that strong even if you were doing it since you were 5 years old. Steroids, maybe? Nah, way too unrealistic. Besides that, why does Yavara have sudden mood swings? One minute she was all defensive and the next second she was unnaturally happy. She must be hiding something. What is it though? She can't be Humaveran, so that's off the list......unless she's Angelikan. No, she probably isn't. I have never really heard of Angelikans. Then what is it? Yavara, you've completely stumped me. What is your secret?
