I had no idea why I went to a school for people, my father was one too, but I was supposed to learn something completely different.

In any case, I never really got used to these rather strange and lengthy topics that we always dealt with in class.

What she called math was easy for me, actually I didn't really have any problems with anything.

I now remember the only person to whom I really entrusted everything that oppressed me. It was a windy fall day at school ...

As always, I sat there alone, the students passed me and stared at me as if I were the 7th wonder of the world. I can only give the following dialogue roughly:
"Jess, you are a nerd."
"I'm just smarter than you!"
"Because you're probably cheating with your weird hocus-pocus. Why don't you go back where you came from."
"Because my parents decided to live here in this depraved world! Now pull the leash!"
The boy who said this to me ran away with a sneering laugh. People could be so cruel, they ridiculed me for my parents' decision.

I hated them and didn't trust anyone, as they mostly didn't question anything and quickly felt personally attacked.
However, that day I met her ...
She was a class above me, just new to school. In any case, she decided to help me when my classmates harassed me again.
"Tell me, what is your problem? What has it done to you? You are pathetic! Find someone your size rather than attacking innocent people! Just because it is not like you do you have to treat it like dirt right away? It still works ?! Get rid of it, otherwise I'll be different! "
Her words made a lasting impression on my tormentors. Nobody liked to mess with someone from the higher grades. They made off in silence.
"All right? Are everyone at this school like them?"
"Well, somehow they don't accept me. Thank you for boxing me out of there. You're the first one who ever got active and didn't look away. I'm Jessica Ferrey, by the way, but just call me Jess,"
"I just can't see that, that's all. No wonder that as a half-elf you get a wrong impression of the people with the guys who strut around here ... Ah, my name.

I am called Jeramin. You're nice."
And then this blond-haired girl with the white headband in her hair and the red scarf that was wrapped around her neck did what seemed completely alien to me up to that point. She held out her hand to me and said:
"Friends?"
"I do not know..."
Don't worry, I am not as depraved as the others here "
"Yes friends!"
And then I was smiling again for a long time. The whole rest of the school break we talked about this and that. We laughed, had fun."So that's how it is when you have someone who means something to you ..."
"tell me Jess ..."
"Yes?"
"You should really wear your hair longer."
"Just like you?"
"Well, do you see a headband there on my head? This is my favorite piece of jewelry. That might sound totally crazy now, but I even let it go when I shower and sleep, I fell in love with this piece of jewelry, hi hi. And it comes into its own with beautiful long hair. "
"Only superficial goats have long hair!"
Jess Jess ... who just told you that? This is absolute nonsense! You can decide for yourself how you want to look, what you like and what you don't. What others think about it is absolutely irrelevant ... Unless you are superficial yourself. Many are in love with themselves, I enjoy everything in moderation.
"Maybe you are right ... You know, sometimes I don't know where I am in the people I meet. Many lie, hide their true opinion. Elves have a very fine feel for such things.
"Mh, pause around. Come on, Jessica."
But how did you ...? "
"devices."
"Oh..."
Jeramin had different views of the world, it was just as peculiar as I was. I found my only true friend in her. A small victory on this otherwise very unpleasant day

And that's how I learned that lesson too. Or not?
