“Of course they can. Anything that attracts the masses in the numbers movies do has a proven impact on peoples views and mindset.” With that she turned away, back to her laptop. She watched Liz, though she didn’t know that as her name, act out aspects of the fan fiction she had read. When she heard them mention food, she suddenly realized she was hungry, and moreover, she realized she had no good idea of where to get food. She watched the boy and girl talk and decided it would be wise not to interrupt. She sighed. Chocolate sounded delicious as well.
Shrugging off the hunger she looked back at her screen. A message popped up in the corner of her screen, One new message Naya clicked on the window and the letter popped up. It was from her other birth-cousin. She was the only one from her birth-family that she was in touch with. Her cousin, Elisa, or Ell, had always been like a big sister, even before she was adopted by another family. Naya scanned the words.
Hey Genius Girl!
Just finished getting situated here at normal people University. I am so psyched for grad school! Setting up my new (tiny) dorm, I was thinking of you, first time setting up for a dorm of your own. How are the other kids. First impressions, you know, you tend to be good at them. Wow. I still can’t believe it, you at Blackwing. Got to admit, I am still kind of jealous. Being valedictorian at high school. Well, thing are ok by me. I think I already told you, but Steve got into the same school as I did, luckily they have a good department for both psychology and mathematics. I got to go. There is a meeting for all first year grad students. You better write me. I know you are good at it.
Love you lots,
Ell, your just above average cousin.
Naya finished the letter and smile. ‘You’re too hard on yourself Ell’ Ell had been the top of class at a prestigious private school, and attended one of the best universities in the world. She had been Naya’s first debate coach, too. Naya closed her laptop with a sigh, resolving to write back later, and placed it in her bag. She crossed her legs and rested her elbows on her knees. Lowered her head and closed her eyes and allowed herself to get lost in thought.
