"Ugh... It was a BAD idea to stay up late last night."

Were the first words out of Avery Nightingale,
our beloved protagonists mouth.

"But it was worth it."

Avery muttered the above and went back to bed.

And that's how our first encounter with our protagonist ended.

*******(4 hours later with the author poking Avery to wake up)

(pov Avery)

After waking up due to very annoying good knows why, I looked at my clock. HOLY CATS!
I'm late for my riiiidddddeeeee!!!

I rushed to get dressed, wore my sunglasses and picked up my phone and ear plugs and got out of the house. Then I remembered I forgot to eat breakfast! Looking at the time I decided to skip it. I won't be able to make it to the empty train if I don't rush! And if I don't make it I won't be able to get a seat and watch Kk's live post's!

I suddenly felt the annoying presence that woke me up and looked around but didn't find anything.

I reached the station and boarded the hover train. I could take a capsule but I'm saving money. I showed my monthly pass and went to a cabin.

I saw the time and it was almost 12:00 noon!
I quickly logged in to my muku[1] account and went to kk's channel.

There they were! Biscuits newest videos!

OMG! She looks so cute in her new clothes!

Ahhhh... I wanna cuddle her.  Such a cute cats.

Watching the 5 minute video I switched off my phone. Hunger was catching up to me. After all I missed the past few meals.

Ahhhh... too hungry.

I should've eaten something.

The hover capsule reached its destination and I deboarded.

I reached a shop called Cafe Meow with a cute pic of a cat.

I got in and was met with a similar sight.
A huge blob of brown rushing towards me.

Gater my boss touseled my long silver hair and said in heavy broken voice.
"Were you up all night again, eh boy?"

I gave a simple laugh in agreement as he shook his head in disapproval.

"Then I'm sure ya rushed here watching your cat videos missing break fast in the process.

That is since you are half an hour early."

I continued to give him a guilty smile.

He sighed.

"You'll lose all your luck if you continue to sigh
this way."

He gave by shoulder a squeeze in response.

"You brat! Go fix yourself a meal in the kitchen and get the cats out before opening time. Tell David to make you something and STAY AWAY from the stove."

"I can cook pretty well you know." I said defensively

"And I also know as well as you do they that ain't the reason why I'm asking you to stay away. And don't play with the cats just get em here. and wear your uniform and colours. It's easy to lose sunglasses. Wear contacts next time you leave the house."

he added the last one after seeing how I was dressed.

In my defense, I do have a good sense of style and rarely forget my contacts. Okay. That was a lie. Just I hate wearing them. They make my eyes sting so bad. But I can't wear sunglasses on my job.

But you're all probably confused as to why I have to wear them to in the first place.

The thing is, I have a voilet eye. That's a rare eye color but not to the problems. the problem is my left eye. It's pink.

Yeah you all. You read it right.  P.I.N.K.

Not a sexy red or cool silver like my hair or something.

Pink.

Baby pink at that.

Curse the person who made it this way.

Eh... I felt that annoying presence again.

Anyways besides being embarrassing, this eye color is unseen. And what caused my parents to abandon me.

I was six when it happened. I was adopted anyways.

When they adopted me at three years old. I had a pair of lovely violet eyes and silver hair.
They said I looked like an angel.

They treated me quite well, and seemed to pity me for losing my biological parents.

I didn't get why? Why would I be sad lose someone I never knew?

Anyways, they were very good to me for a year.

That was when they found out Mrs. Heather was 2 months pregnant.

At first I didn't really care when my baby sister was born. I never was a sucker for attention. As long as they fed and raised me. Call me emotion less if you want but, how so you get attached to someone who never actually got attached to you? That's just asking to be hurt.

Getting back to the topic, after my sister was born, they didn't really need me anymore. After all, the only reason they adopted me was to get a heir. They had a biological one now. But they called me a lucky star as when I came Lucy was born. I was happy. I was useful to them still.

After all, I was very grateful to them for taking me out of that place.

I was bullied a lot in the orphanage due to my odd eye and hair color.

And they saved me. Gave me good food and a warm bed. Even if they didn't love me as parents, as long as I was useful to them, they would treat me well.

That was when my left eye began to change. The violet grew fainter and fainter. I was pretty much home schooled and barely met anyone. So nobody noticed.

It was around that time I started to dream about a boy. A boy with long silver hair. Very small. About my age. His eyes were always bound by a white gauge.

One day, when the Heather family came back after a month long trip to Neonie. The most successful district of Antlain.

That's when they saw it. A freak with one pink and one violet eye.

They panicked and asked me what was wrong. I didn't know what they were talking about.  I knew my eye changed colour but I thought it was normal. I hadn't started studying the human body back then. My knowledge was limited to minimal understanding of mechanical physics and business studies. And some parts of botany.

It was only after a while did I realize that it wasn't normal for the eye color to change. When they took me to a doctor precisely.

And that was when I started my detailed study of biology.

The doctor couldn't determine what was wrong with me if anything.

So they decided to let me go back.

What I didn't realize at that time was that this eye was what would change my leisurely life.
