Chapter 2

So let's start from the very beginning...

Willow's parents always tried to have a baby so when they had Willow they were happy...But as soon as they realised the responsibility a baby needed they started to change their mind.

"Ugh..! Honey, i am so tired. I never knew this would be so difficult." Willow's mom complained again and again. Her husband (Willow's dad) always agreed with her.

All this negative thinking about Willow made them hate her and neglect her. Life though had more complicated plans for this family. Due to a night they both got drunk, without taking the protection they had to...They had another baby. They named her Emily, and instead of treating her the same as Willow, they actually tried their best to raise her.

So poor Willow, being 3 years old, had to take care of herself alone, even though it was the hardest thing in the world. As time was passing they made her do chores around the house and unfortunately she had to learn how to cook for herself, since they often would forget to give her food. There were many instances were she got injured and of course her parents didn't care.

"Come on, be faster. We don't have all day!" Her mom yelled at her, because Willow didn't find time to finish washing the dishes. It was really unthinkable how a little kid, would manage to take care of of homework, chores and most importantly rest. Of course she didn't have the time for everything....

While the story looks like Cinderella, there wouldn't be there someone who would magically appear to save her, she grew up alone, not knowing what love and affection meant. Emily was treated in the best way possible. Both girls grew up and reached the age of going to highschool.The big chapter of their lives, which was none other than high school, was about to begin. And it was now that Willow would discover her secret, maybe not so secret, talent.

"Huh...Oh no! I am freaking late for school!!!" Willow screamed as she started getting ready. Willow had a small room in the second floor, far from the others. They didn't even want to see her, how cruel life was for her...

 While Willow probably was about to break the record of The fastest time to get ready, Emily was sleeping. Of course she didn't had to worry about getting late, their dad would drive her to school, and Willow had to run, not walk, to get in time.

It goes without saying, everyone in school adored Emily, she was a beauty but what she was missing was the brains, though that didn't stopped her from getting popular. The spotlight was on her and Willow continued her school life in the shadows.

When finally one day, the gym teacher asked her, almost begged her, to participate in a competition, because the student who was supposed to go, wouldn't be able to attend. Now a good question was, why would the gym teacher ask Willow, well...

This young girl made it quite obvious, that she had quite the strength and endurance. She would always get the best timing in every activity they had. Running, sports you name it...

"Come on , Wills. You are the only hope of the school to win." The teacher said with pleading eyes. "Sir, you know i don't have time for that" Willow said with a serious face. Thanks to her getting top grades in the whole school, the excuse of studying always came handy.

"If we win this, many famous companies that focus on that factor, strength, will take interest on the students. You might have the chance of a lifetime!" The teacher said with a hint of excitement in his voice.

Willow didn't had to think twice. Getting a job right after finishing high school was like a dream that seemed that it would have never been achieved.

"Ok sir, but i will need you to fill me in" Willow said and smiled. "I knew you had it in you Wills! Tomorrow at the gym, after school. That's where we practice. I will wait!" The teacher said and gave her a bright smile.

"Hmm... That's a first...Someone waiting for me..."
