Chapter 1

Christiana’s POV

My name is Christiana Noir and all my life I’ve been called a genius even though I don’t get why. Maybe beachside at the age of 1 I could already run around the mansion , have mature conversations at 2 and had already read all the books in our massive library at 4. I grew up an elite and one thing that made me stand out more was my long wavy black hair which were paired with my sapphire eyes. I was an introvert and didn’t like to socialize with the people outside of my bubble which contained family and the maids of our manor who I had known since birth. I liked to stay indoors and would sometimes go out to read books which were way out of my age level. On one of these occasions I met Isabella Blues a beautiful blonde haired girl with shimmering emerald eyes. On the day we met I had my head stuck in a physics book when some noises disturbed my peace and quiet. I was unsatisfied and decided to look for the source. The science I found though wasn’t to my liking at all as I noticed just around the corner a girl being beaten up and insulted By their conversation I figured she was an orphan but didn’t have a good reputation among the other children. I wanted to stand up for her but my 5 year old body couldn’t do anything. I was worried that if I stepped in I would just make things worse so instead I decided to put mg brains to good use and pretended some adults were approaching scaring the bullies who immediately ran off not wanting to get caught and be put in trouble. After they left I went over to the battered girl and that was when we got acquainted. We bacame really close friends and I would occasionally go to the orphanage to visit her. She was a year younger and it made me feel like I had a younger sister. We spent 4 good years together until she was adopted at the age of 8. I was sad to let her go but I didn’t have the right ti tell her not to leave. Of course me doing so was out of the question so all I could do was to bid her farewell with a fake smile plastered kn my face.

………..

I am turning 10 today and it had been a year since I laid eyes on Isabella. Though we weren’t together, I was well informed about her condition. She was living a good life and her parents were taking really good care of her. In the pictures I was given her skin looked much better than what u remembered and she looked really happy. She was my first and only friend but I still couldn’t invite her to my birthday party since I hadn’t told her about my background yet. I knew she didn’t see eye to eye with rich people since they had treated her badly at one point so I have been keeping it a secret till now. I was bored and decided to play around the mansion for a while but ended up tripping on a lose floor board which made me land ace first onto the floor. I felt pain coasting trough me but held back my tears. I stood up dusting myself off and made a move to inform the butler about it but stopped noticing something poking out of the crack.
