Jay sat down cross legged on the cold floor and motioned for Mikaela to sit down across from her. "Well, we still have time and if you would like to talk about it we can" Jay smiled up at the girl, a proper smile. Not the ones full of sarcasm that she usually did.
"You were nice enough to listen to me, and now its only right that I listen to you" Jay wouldn't judge whatever she had to talk about, she had lived an incredibly unnatural childhood and gone to a muggle school, there was no way anything Mikaela said would faze her or cause Jay to judge her.
"Nothing you could say would make me hate you, or judge you" She wanted Mikaela to feel safe talking to her, only if she wanted to. Jay knew family problems well, she even had problems with her muggle side of the family and that had been intense for the last few years. "And that whole thing about your teachers calling you a... What was it? a failure to the academic system?" Jay laughed "That's complete BS, there are more ways you can be smart then just academically. I personally think being emotionally smart helps you more anyways"
"I'm not one of those people who goes around talking about others, I wouldn't tell anyone" Jay held out her hand to Mikaela "Pinky promise, even if you choose not to tell me"

Coded by Melissa BlakeOh, I definitely need to stop telling my whole life to strangers.
Only two people in the castle knew about it, though. One more won't hurt.
I smiled and finally made myself comfortable beside her with a sigh. If I'm going to expose my whole mental state, at least do it while I'm sitting down.
"Are you familiar with the term 'prodigy kid'? Well, that's what I am, basically. I know, it feels like a scam that I have Einstein's brain and ended up in Ravenclaw, but who can ever tell, right?" I wasn't even able to look at her in the eye. Instead, I found the sleeve of my robe very interesting.
"So, long story short, my brains works a bit... faster than it should've. When I got into my first school, classes were just.. boring. They were all learning the alphabet while I was reading already. That's how it works. So I didn't do homeworks or... anything at all, honestly." I admitted in a mutter. "And when that happened, and my grades fell, my parents talked to the teachers, and then they moved me up to higher grades to test me and then, one or two weeks later, I'd get transferred to another school."
I finally looked at Jay.
"Five schools before my first instance of magic."
And the worst part? I thought it was normal. That everything I went through waas just another tuesday for kids like me.Stamina: 6 | Evasion: 6 | Strength: 4 | Wisdom: 7 | Arc Power: 6 | Accuracy: 6

Jay knew how hard muggle schools were, she only had one friend all through her schooling and even then she was bullied and moving schools was horrible. When Jay had moved schools once she had her face slammed into the bubbler, that was when her first cause of magic occurred. The bubblers had exploded.
Mikaela couldn't look Jay in the eye so she just listened to Mikaela talk, about her schooling and her mind and how it worked differently from others. When she was finished, Jay thought for a second before speaking "I know how much muggle schools suck, especially moving to them" Jay winced at the memories of her schooling.
"The way you and were treated by the teachers was... not the best, you're just a kid and your feelings matter" Jay couldn't imagine being ripped from one social group to another, it had been a struggle just to go to Hogwarts and leave her normal life behind. "Just because you're academically smarter than others doesn't mean that you have all the social skills and all the emotional intelligence others do, you were being compared to people older than you, with more experience in the real world"
Mikaela probably had good social skills but being moved around that much? It couldn't be good for anyone's mind. "People should listen to what you want instead of immediately slapping a label on you and treating you like that label and nothing else"

Coded by Melissa BlakeWell, that was... strangely, the nicest thing someone had ever said to me.
For the first time in my life, I didn't feel like someone had expectations over me, or someone who had to achieve something in her life to know her worth. No, for the first time in my twelve years of life, I felt seen.
"I- I know, right? It sucks. I was raised to learn and to create something everyone would talk about for years, and yes, I am able to do things that someone my age couldn't even dream about, but ask about my social skills. I never knew how to comfort someone or make any friends without making it weird. Adults will just throw the whole world at you and then expect you to handle it on your own." I finally took out everything I had in my chest.
All the years in the hospitals. All the brain scans and exams. All the schools I was bullied at, not only by my classmates, but by my teachers, directors and even another parents. All the times I heard mom crying in the bathroom, unable to understand why.
Adults were pathological liars and then got surprised when you did something age accurate. It sucked. Everything sucked.Stamina: 6 | Evasion: 6 | Strength: 4 | Wisdom: 7 | Arc Power: 6 | Accuracy: 6

To have so many expectations pushed onto you at such a young age would be overwhelming.
“The fact that you went through that and you are still here shows that you are strong, much stronger than most” Jay could have never dealt with that, she would have crumbled up under the pressure a long time ago.
“You know that this doesn’t change how I look at you right? I mean, I did only just meet you but you get what I mean” There was no way Jay could think anything bad about Mikaela, and she had no idea how anyone could.
Emotions were a delicate thing, they are easily hurt and even more easy to break. “The people who think you are destined for great things are right though, just by looking at you I can tell that you are going to do amazing things for our world”
Jay patted Mikaela on the head, the usual sign of affection from Jay. The only person to actually get hugs was Winnie. “Just because you’re smart doesn’t mean you should be treated any older than you are, a child should be able to do childish things” Jay scoffed “take my mum for example!”
Sunny was always running around in the rain, wearing colourful clothes, dancing whenever she got the opportunity, she lived life the way she would have wanted to as a kid. “My mum never got a childhood either, my grandparents were extremely focused on her being perfect and her turning out to be a witch wasn’t perfect to them” Jay sighed.
My family is a freaking mess
“But she’s the best mum I could ask for, she says that she lives her life the way she wanted to as a child, so if I can offer you any advice let it be this” Jay paused before speaking, trying to figure out how she could say this without it being offensive.
“Live your life, do whatever you want and bring your dream childhood to reality, go to an amusement park, stuff yourself with sweets and HAVE FUN, it makes life a lot more enjoyable” Jay hoped Mikaela took her advice the right way, and if Mikaela needed help with anything, Jay hoped that she could come and ask. Jay smiled at Mikaela.
“I can always help you find something crazy fun to do, I have a friend who would enjoy it too” Jay was thinking of her friend Skylar Blue, the two of them got into a lot of mischief together, even when it never went to plan. “We should probably get to class, unless you don’t want to go and listen to the professor drone on and on about who knows what”

Should we end it up here or...?
Coded by Melissa BlakeFor a second, I didn't react.
And it wasn't because of the little pat on the head. Well, that too. I'm not used to that kind of affection, Sky is usually the one who starts the hugs and I see myself forced to accept them.
No, it was because of the words. To live a normal childhood. Ironic. I don't have many memories of my childhood. I remember the Hospital smell the most, which is why I don't like them, and I have some... flashbacks of the doctors and some other kids. That's all. My clear memories come after all of that, when I began studying.
But I do remember that, after my third school, I heard mom and dad talking in the kitchen. I was supposed to be asleep.
'A normal childhood for her. It's all I want. The reason why we took her out of the program. So why is she not adapting?'
I remember hearing mom sigh.
'It's not her fault, John. They warned us about it.'
And then, another boring conversation of adults. The thing is, I never had a normal childhood.
But maybe Jay was right. Maybe I had to be a little bit naughty. After all, you're never too old to be a kid, right?
I nodded.
"Yeah... Yes, let's go now, or the teacher will begin searching for us all over the castle." I smiled, standing up straight, once again, and offering my hand to help Jay.Stamina: 6 | Evasion: 6 | Strength: 4 | Wisdom: 7 | Arc Power: 6 | Accuracy: 6

Jay took Mikaela's hand and stood up slowly, brushing herself down as she thought about class. She had History first up and wasn't too interested in going to the class itself, looking out the window she saw that it was quite a nice day outside, she would love to paint or draw the scenery.
"You go on without me, I'm not gonna go to class" Jay grinned, she was quite exited to draw the apple trees she had found a few weeks ago, if she could remember where they were.
That's gonna be fun to try and find
History class was NOT an option for Jay, she refused to sit inside and listen to the professor go on and on and on and on about ancient whatever they were learning about, she was asleep most of the time anyways. The two girls walked out of the cold tower, Jay headed in the direction of her common room down below the lake to grab her drawing supplies when she turned back to Mikaela.
"I'll see you around, have fun in class!" and with that, Jay broke into a run down the stairs towards the freedom of the outside world, but first she had to make a stop.
