Esther was completely zoned out of the real world around her, stuck in the fictional that she had created with her writing. The words were scribbled quickly on to the paper in a continuous stream of thought. But her thoughts were suddenly interrupted when she heard someone yelling across the park. Out of curiousity, she pried her eyes away from the pages of her notebook and saw a young boy waving, heading towards her. She squinted, wondering if he was someone she knew. Was he mistakenly acknowledging her, thinking she was someone else?

When he stopped, Esther noticed that his gaze was caught by something else, something that was beneath her. She bent over to look under the bench on which she was perched and found the little fluffy ducklings underneath. Some of them were looking at the boy, the others were looking at her. Esther couldn't help but giggle at how cliche the whole thing must have looked: a girl sitting on a park bench, writing a story with ducklings underneath her. While she was leaning over, Esther realised that the cute lacey white dress she was wearing was quite short and she may have been revealing too much beneath the belt. She quickly sat up, holding down the hem of her dress hoping the boy hadn't noticed before she turned to him and gave him a bright smile.

Esther slowly and carefully hopped off the bench and bent down to get a closer look at the cute ducklings. The closest one to her jumped a little, causing the others to turn to her in surprise. "It's alright little ones, I won't hurt you," she said quietly, holding her hand out. She was close enough for them to get to but far enough that they wouldn't get too scared. One of the ducklings seemed eager to approach her, but the others were very unsure, which was natural. Esther looked up at the boy who was still nearby. "Hey, weird question, but you wouldn't happen to have any seeds with you?" she asked with bright eyes.

Jacob shook his head crouching down beside the girl. "No sadly I don't have any seeds, I'm Jacob by the way." He looked back at the ducks most of hid further behind the bench one however came closer to the girl. "So do you go to school here? I was wondering that so I figured I'd come over and introduce myself. He smiled at her as he reach down petting the closet duckling. He had to admit, school everything else melted away as he let this fairy-tale like scene play out.

Faeya sighed as she walked into the classroom, weaving through the seats to sit in the back of the class. As she was weaving, she tripped over a leg of a desk, dumping her bag on the floor. "You've got to be kidding me!" She groaned and knelt down to pick her stuff up. She looked around for her sketch book and started to panick. "Where is it?" she mumbled angrily.

Emma finally calmed down and sighed. "Why do I have to feel like this? Why is my father a jerk who treats my mother and I badly? I know I'm ugly but he always reminded me. Then my so called fans... reminding me of the truth and adding other things to my long list of terrible qualities. They may be true but it doesn't help having others tell me that." Emma said to herself as she now lay on top of the grand piano staring through the glass ceiling into the blue sky. "Then I allowed myself to believe I'd be happy here. But people decided to lie to me and say that I'm beautiful..." she said the word with disgust, "It's obviously not true. And now here I am sounding insane for talking to myself. Great... This is how my life will always be I guess." She muttered the last part to herself and closed her eyes relaxing.

Cheryl was heading to class, when she heard someone talking in the Music Room. She stopped walking and peered into the room, seeing a girl talking to herself. She stared at the girl for a few seconds before speaking, "You got a screw loose or something?" she asked tactlessly as she enters the room and finally got a good look at the weird girl. She furrowed her eyebrows in concentration as she scrutinized her. "Hey...have I seen you somewhere before?"

Cheryl, like any other teenage girl, follows celebrities and the like, and this girl happens to look like a singer Cheryl became interested in after she disappeared. She walked too close to Emma, studying her features.

"N-no, I just moved from Great Britain." Emma said jumping off the piano and adjusting her glasses, she back towards the door and just looked at this girl. Something about her made Emma not want to be around her for too long. She stayed silent looking at her

David walked over to Faeya holding the sketchbook in hand, "Your work is quite impressive, this is yours right?" He said, handing her the book. "I wish I had a talent like yours, all I have is my brain and anybody can learn what I know, but talent like that is something you are born with," David looked at her enviously, "You're lucky, you know that."

Faeya looked up at David and blushed slightly. "No, it's just some doodles. They won't get me anywhere in life. Thanks though." She grabbed her sketch book from him and smiled. "I wouldn't mind have the intellect that the real world wants. You'll be rich one day and I'll be drawing on card board, so don't be jealous of me." She grabbed the last of her things and continued to go to her chair.

"And when that day comes I'll buy all your cardboard drawings and then we will both be rich and I will have your beautiful cardboard hanging up in my home," David proclaimed, "And I will be miserable doing something that anyone can do and you will be happy knowing that you have something no one else has, your own perspective of art. No one else will see it like you do and that is what I am jealous of."

He had to admit, school everything else melted away as he let this fairy-tale like scene play out.

Esther's smile became even brighter as she watched Jacob petting one of the ducklings. She slowly moved her hand closer to the nearest duckling to her and to her delighted surprise, it also waddled over. In fact, as she went to try to pet it, it jumped straight onto her fingers. She gasped quietly as she cupped her hand gently to create a little hollow for the tiny bird to stand in, but instead, it sat and closed its eyes. She felt a bit like Snow White as she gently stroked the duckling's tiny feathers with the knuckles of two of her fingers.

Esther then forgot that she actually had company with her, so she returned her gaze back to Jacob. "I'm Esther but no, I've already graduated from high school," she said with a small giggle. "It was cool that you came over and introduced yourself. I don't think I would have noticed these little cuties if you hadn't. It's a pleasure to meet you." Esther could hear the tiny tweeting of the other ducklings, possibly asking for their little friend back. Esther gently lowered her hand and allowed the little bird to slide off onto the grass. Once it had joined the others, the little birds began waddling off together and tweeting incessantly. It felt just like a magical moment and Esther was beaming, the corners of her mouth going from ear to ear. "I can't believe that just happened. That was awesome."

Cheryl lets out an amused smile at the stare. "What, you only talk when there are no people?" she tried to joke lightheartedly, but there's still something she's more interested in. She decided that she won't beat around the bush any longer. "Look, I'm gonna be honest with you here. You look like this celebrity who was quite a good singer, but she just suddenly disappeared," she explained as she walks closer to Emma. "And now a new student comes in this town who has a slight resemblance, but different hair from this celebrity..." She paused before introducing herself. "My name's Cheryl, by the way.

"I'm Emma Lee. And who might I resemble?" Emma asked thankful she changed her name now. As a singer she was known as Tristan Rios. But now she is Emma Lee. She couldn't let this girl know her true identity, even if Emma wanted to shy away she wouldn't back down. Her new identity kept her sane.

"Yeah they were pretty cool, tell you what, I get out of school after fifth period due to my job if you be back her around one thirty I would love to hang out some more. Class is going to start soon." He sighed standing up dusting off his black jeans. He then extended a hand to Esther to help her up. "I would just skip but I was out of town for a few days and I do need to catch up." He gave Esther a warm caring smile as he looked at her.

"I said it, didn't I? A celebrity. Anyway, she was known as Tristan Rios. Pretty weird name, to be honest," she babbled, then looked at Emma. "You do look like her too much." She furrowed her eyebrows in concentration. "But if you say so, fine, you're not her. I'll find the truth in the end, anyways." Maybe, the teachers were still keeping an eye on her after she got caught sneaking through students' records.

Esther gave him a bright smile as she took his hand and levered herself to her feet. "Thanks, and yeah that could be cool." She had only just gotten into town and was happy to have already made a friend. She was also impressed that he had a job, even though he was still in high school. Esther was pretty curious about him but she didn't want to seem to forward, especially since they just met. Esther also realised that she was still holding his hand and she awkwardly jerked it away. "You should probably get back to classes then. I'll meet you back here at half past one," she chirped. Her notebook and pen were still lying on the bench next to her so she picked them up and closed her book, placing them back carefully into her bag.

As she walked away from him, she wasn't really sure what she would do while she was waiting. She was considering maybe just staying in the park for a little bit longer and continue writing her story, but she didn't want to seem too keen. Instead, Esther decided to take a bit of a walk around town and familiarise herself more with her new home. As she walking past an eyeglasses store, something caught her eye. She recognised some of the frames that were displayed in the window and remembered the days when her father was still the owner of OptiCure, the world reknowned prescription glasses company. Now, the frames that they used to make were under a different name, just like her. Esther shook her head and tried to forget all the memories of her past and pulled herself away from the store. She wanted to be caught up in her fictional place again so she resolved that she would just wait in the park until Jacob came back.

Jacob hummed a tune as he watched her go then turned and headed back into the school, he was glad to have met such a interesting girl, plus it gave him a excuse to actually leave early for once, kept Cheryl from tailing him. He sighed as his thoughts drifted back to the central problem, he knew that Cheryl would do anything for that scoop and if he went to the upcoming tournament well that was going to be live on Youtube, someone was bound to see it and tell her.

He sighed as he pulled up his computer, first period was study hall so he decided to play a couple matches against some friends, he had bribed the IT guy into unblocking the network for Starcraft 2 so he could play at school. He booted up the game and started up a match and pulled in his head set. He groaned, looking up occasionally to watch for snooping reporters as one of his old friends and team member Gavin skyped him. He started the call and Gavin yelled even with the headphones in you could hear him clear across the room "Dude! Your going to Blizzcon, you gotta get me tickets I need to see you in the final, I mean seriously your gonna go up against Life! He won last year five to one! You beat him your gonna be the youngest grand champion of Starcraft!"

Jacob grunted and turned the volume down a lot "Thank you for the reminder Gavin, now how about you and me play our game and worry about Blizzcon later, I still need to practice against Zerg and your the best Zerg player I know." He said as the match loaded in and the two began to play. Jacob spoke softly as he and Gavin talked Strats and meta passing the time.

"I mean I wish I was her. My singing is crap compared to her, and her family life was perfect." Emma said lying about herself to cover for herself. "Now bye." She said before rushing out not wanting to be around anyone, Emma just wanted to go home and be by herself. So that's what she would do. She began heading for the side door so she could leave.

"I already said fine, right? No need to go in denial," Cheryl said, narrowing her eyes. "Suspiciously specific denial, if I might add." She tried to caught up to Emma and suddenly grabbed her wrist, giving her a vice-like grip. She maintained her smile, which she considers somewhat welcoming, though when people find out about her personality, she's not welcome at all. "Where are you going? Leaving already? A new girl like you needs to have a friend around here, you know, and I'm a good person to start with."

Emma winced at the hard grip. "P-please l-l-let me go..." Emma looked at the girl slightly scared. "I-I d-don't need a friend. I've b-been here for a week and I am doing just fine alone. So P-please let me go." Emma said pulling her hand towards her hoping to get out of her grip.

"Leave her alone." Lorenzo stepped into view, his arms crossed. "Don't you have anyone else to bother, peste." He grew angry at the girl that kept pestering Emma.

Faeya shrugged. "I guess." She looked down at her sketch book and smiled. "Thanks." She looked over at him. "What's your name?"
