I was a normal student. Maybe. Maybe not.
But then, nobody considers oneself normal, do they?
I kept thinking about that. What exactly does "normal" mean, anyway? Does someone "normal" have to match the description in the dictionary? Do they have to live with two loving parents, without wearing leg braces or a cultural hood? Do they have to be able to speak, and to only love the opposite gender? Do they have to pass their tests, but not because they're their own cheerleaders for themselves?
What is "normal", really?
And I don't think I match the description, with me here, talking to a star. . . .

In a world where you're defined by class can anything else exist? "At the age of 16, each male and female must attend the earliest 'Summoning'. From there the ideal match is generated for each individual in a process known as the 'Sorting'. Once a pair have been matched, they will reside to the male's dwelling to live out their lives in harmony. If an individual is not matched at a Summoning, they must continue to attend until their match is Sorted. Failure to comply with these terms shall result in immediate imprisonment." - President Mangold ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the early ages both the caste system and the 'Sorting' were instituted. Society is based on a class system and the number of a particular caste branded on the left shoulder of each human. The caste system is rated from 1 to 5. Elle Silver is a 3. As is her twin sister, her mother and her father. On her 16th birthday, Elle and her sister Ana are summoned. Hoping to follow in the footsteps of her mother and father, Elle is anxious to find out who her match is and the caste he is from. Because as the her mother has always said: 'You would hope for your sake that you're not matched to a 1 or a 5.' Stereotypes are often accurate but occasionally they can be more wrong then you'll ever understand.Complete

I'll Be There For You ~ Lams College AU
Note: I don't know half of what I wrote here. It's cringy, it's old, and it's definitely NOT my best writing. But due to me going all like "oH iT's mY fIrsT fAnfIc! LeMme sAvE tHe mEmoRies", I chose not to take this down. This is not edited in most parts, so please, you have the right to turn around whenever you want to. --- Alexander Hamilton was taking a flight to America when a storm ahead had to make them land. As Alexander Hamilton boarded his plane from South Carolina to New York, he couldn't help but notice the beautiful eyes and freckles of a certain boy, John Laurens.

Beautiful Darkness: A Psychopath
When you think of the word 'first love' probably the first thing on your mind would be the person you first loved, the person you first got attracted to during your youth... but to expand that certain topic... in a deeper meaning 'first love' should be the very first people you experience genuine love with. Your parents... "The only genuine love in this world," they said. But what if that said genuine love was never part of your life? What if, actually, the word is 'you raised the family' and not 'the concept of complete family raised you'? It all ends up to you believing things that's actually all fictitious. Could there still be a person who can have the power of introducing you to that 'genuine love' even if it is all too late?Complete
