What do you....Want?

Academy Chronicles.
I .

I was nervous about coming here to begin with.

Sometimes I have anxiety - okay, maybe more than sometimes.

"You've got this - your family is here" 

I remember when you took hold of my hand and told me this, dad. In those moments I wonder if you knew how much I appreciated such a small form of comfort. I had bitten my fingernails raw the night before, and you watched me as I had to bandage them up the morning before my first day at the academy. Did you know then, that I was going to have trouble? That I could not possibly be the daughter you and mum want me to be? 

Why was I the only one of my siblings to be put into Leonaus?

I've never been alone before now.
You never told me how scary other children can be.
I bit my fingers until they bled today.

"You're not going to make any allies that way. If you want to keep playing the defenseless little noble, then keep it up."

"I know what you've presented to us so far, and you haven't done much to improve that image."

"Try to act like less of a victim, and people won't treat you like one."

"I'm not makin' no fuckin' armor or weapon for a noble."

"What are you, weak?"

-but not all of them are that scary.
Elise, Perosa, Cortado, Caster, Fran, Rhesus.. - these are my friends.
They've all told me in one form or another, that I am stronger than I think I am.
Maybe they are right, maybe they aren't...Either way.
I'm going to try and be more confident.
I will become a Pelleaux worthy of my name.

. . .What's my next class?
