Spamming the community, one astronomy class at a time!

Seriously, guys. Your muses need to get on the wake-up train, or at least siphon off some energy from Aesha. Cause I feel like I need to stop writing, so I don't spam the comm even more. XD

Kouchin knows that she’s different. She doesn’t like to play with dolls and jump ropes like other little girls, and she doesn’t like to play with trucks and frogs like the boys. She spends her recesses alone with sticks and imaginary foes, and she battles them fiercely until called back inside. Once, a daring little boy joined her, but after receiving a sound beating from her stick he called her “crazy” and “too serious.” But he didn’t tattle - code of boys: never let anyone you’ve been beaten by a girl - and she ignored it.

She isn’t lonely, though. And that makes her different too. She doesn’t need friends. Daddy worries about it, but Papa just calls it her samurai blood, and musses her hair. It’s not that she doesn’t want friends. It’s just that normal children bore her. Ren, her cousin, is all right, even if he smiles a little creepily sometimes. But he’s still a baby, only five years old to her eight. So he doesn’t count as a “friend.”

Even if she tried harder in school like Daddy sometimes tells her to, it wouldn’t help, though. She’ll never tell Papa and Daddy, but the other kids think that she’s too different. She’s the only one who makes two cards for father’s day, and only Aiko doesn’t have a mom too, and hers is dead. Kouchin hasn’t ever had one, and that makes her such an oddity that the other kids don’t know what to do about her. So they exclude her. But she’s okay with that, because Aunt Raimei is almost as good as a real mom, without the bad stuff, and she loves both of her fathers more than anything, even her kitten and ice cream. She’s happy she’s different, because she wouldn’t be able to pick between her dads to have a “normal” family.

And because she really, really hates dolls.
