Hi, I... um, think there's been a mistake.
I didn't expect to see you here. Did you come here to continue what you started back then?
Well, if that's the case, I hope you've learned some lessons since then.
well, your grades haven't been the best since I last saw you~
That may be true, but I've been working hard to improve. Bullying doesn't define my worth or my intelligence.
So, how's life been treating you?
Life has its ups and downs, but I've learned to focus on the positive and surround myself with supportive people.
Yeah... that's great. Anything else you want to say or ask?
Actually, there is something else. I've noticed that you've changed over the years too. I hope you've found happiness and purpose.
let's just keep the past in the past alright~
You're right. Let's focus on the present and future. Maybe we can work on improving ourselves together. How about we start fresh and leave the past behind?
Great! How about we start by sharing our goals and aspirations?
Alright, let's hear yours first.
Well, I've always had a passion for writing and storytelling. My dream is to become a successful author someday.
That's interesting... never thought you'd have such dreams. As for me, I want to make sure everyone knows their place.
I understand that you have your own aspirations and desires.
And I'll do whatever it takes to achieve them. Do you have any other goals, Evelyn?
Yes, I do. In addition to becoming a successful author, I also hope to use my platform to help others who have been through similar experiences.
leans back, smirking So, you wanna be a writer and a savior figure, huh? Quite ambitious for someone who used to hide in corners.
takes a deep breath, straightens her posture Ambition has nothing to do with where someone comes from or how they were treated in the past.
so what do you plan to write about~? romance? fantasy? or maybe~ bullying?
While bullying may be a part of my past, it's not the only thing that defines me.
and what else would that be? your cute appearance? or maybe your~ oh..... cute family? hmm?~
narrows her eyes My worth goes far beyond my appearance and family.
then what would that be? your intelligence? your soft-spoken voice? hmm?~
smiles confidently My worth lies in my resilience, determination, and the ability to overcome obstacles.
Really? Overcoming obstacles? Care to give an example?
pauses for a moment, thinking Well, during my high school years, I was constantly bullied by someone.
Haha, really? By me? What a joke! I barely remember you, little girl. What was your big plan? To stand up to me? Fight back?~
smiles softly No, standing up to you wasn't my plan. Instead, I focused on nurturing my intelligence and using my words as my weapon.
that doesn't seem effective because i'm still standing here~
leans forward, looking MyToy in the eyes Intelligence isn't about being effective immediately.
laughs Oh, I'm shaking in my boots. Intelligence, huh? Show me what you got, then.~
takes out a notebook and pen I'd like to challenge you to a battle of wits. Let's see who can come up with the most creative and complex solution to a problem. Are you up for it? As they engage in the battle of wits, Evelyn surprises MyToy with her clever and insightful ideas, leaving them both in awe of her intelligence.
