Some people like helping others, but can't love them. Some people love others but can't help them. Others are just still. Being helped or loved by others.
Genies are a rare species on planet Kalsur, Kalsur is pretty much like Earth, but with Genies living in it. It was a rule for Genies to not let a human know about them. Much less fall in love. But what will happen when a human and Genie do fall in love?
Avia is a normal girl living in Kalsur. But when she saw a person she loved get in an accident, she went in complete despair. Until a human, or Genie, makes it better.
“Come and catch me!” yells Pearla. I try to run but get tired quickly, “Hey no fair, I can't catch you. This thiccness does not help.” she laughs and sticks out her tongue. “Avia, I’ll buy you cheddar cheese if you catch me.” I laughed“Watch where you are going, Pearl!” she nodded and stopped at a stop sign. She looked both ways, and went even the sign said stop. I almost reach her until I see a car coming in high speed, the driver must have been drunk. “PEARLA!! CORRE!!” Pearla turned around and froze when she saw the car. I couldn’t do anything. I froze too. I tried to close my eyes, but they stayed open.
“IT'S ALL MY FAULT!”
“No it’s not.”
“Please stop trying to make me feel better. It’s not working.”
“Ok, sorry.”
“I’m sorry, i’m just really stressed right now. “
“I know.”
“She’s your sister, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry Gabi.”
“Please stop calling me ‘Gabi’, my name is Gabriel.”
“OMG, dear sister. Are you okay!?!”
I groan, Mackenzie is here. Gabi rolls his eyes. I nod. I really don’t think she is taking no for an answer because she asks, “Are you sure? Are you hurt?” I nod. And i also have a secret weapon, she likes Gabi so i may have or may not have used him a few times. That’s the only reason she is being nice to me. I take Gabriels hand, “C’mon, your sister is waiting.” he nods.
“Let me drive you home.” Gabi asks, I shook my head. He nodded, I shook my head. “Fine.” As he was driving he asked “When Pearla gets out of the hospital, what are we going to get her?” he asks. I laugh “Isn’t it obvious, BTS tickets. They came out with a new album. Persona.” he laughs, “How did i not think of that. Okay we are here. Bye Avia.” I nodded, taking off my seatbelt. “I’ll check to see if they have more tickets.” Awkward silence “And you will buy them.” I ran and went inside my house. He honked the car horn.
I sat on my bed. I cried. I know Gabriel was trying to make me feel better but, the whole accident. I should stop hiding everything, they should know I am upset. Right? I did learn how to hide my feelings, I guess those 3 years of practice paid off. I’m not even loved by my dad anymore. In his eyes I just spend a lot of money and cause a lot of trouble. I have to deal with so much. I need a break. Why does everyone take my step mom and Mackenzie so seriously, yet they treat me as a child.
I fell asleep crying, and woke up to my alarm. It’s 6:00 am, time to get ready. I made breakfast and called Gabe. “Gabriel, me puedes recoger de mi casa? Quiero ir con mi ma.” I start to cry, I don’t know where the tears came from. “Yeah, okay. I’ll be there in 10.”
Right before school, we are in front of my beautiful mom. “She died way too early. She left me alone.” Gabi stroked my hair. “You're not alone. You have my ma y pa, my sister and me.” I shook my head. “But i don’t have my dad.” we go back to the car but I feel better. I’m pretty sure it's what Gabi said. But his words never made me feel so good. Do I like him? No, I can’t. Or do I? I don’t know.
“Hey, Ava. Wake up, we're late.” I hear a voice say, I groan, “It’s too early.” I hear a laugh, “No, we are 15 minutes late for first period.” I jump up and bump my head on the car ceiling. I run out, and slam the door closed. “Hey wait for me, I’m late too.” I stop, “Sorry Gabi.” I grab his hand. “C’mon I don't want to be late.
After school, I walk down the street by myself. Headphones on, and BTS blasting in them. I look down at my phone, “Persona, who the hel-oof.” I bump into someone, I slowly take off my headphones. “I am sorry hon-bun.” I frowned, “I ain't your hun-bun.” the man laughed,
“But it's the way I talk.”
“Well I am sorry Toby, I don't like the way you speak.
“My name isn't Toby. Why do you say that's my name?”
“Sorry dude, you look like a Toby to me. But if your name isn't Toby, then what is your name?”
“It's Gen, what about you, hun?
“It's Avia, Avia Morove.”
“So Ms. Avia, why did you tell me your last name. What if I was a stalker and now I had your last name.”
“Good catch. Then tell me yours.”
“I dont have one.”
I nod. Why doesn't he have one? Is he an orphan who was never adopted? I signal him to follow me. He nods. I lead him towards a boba shop. “Hey, can I get 2 green tea boba.” The counter lady nods. “So where are you from?” I ask Gen. “I’m from Argentina, Israel, Germany, Chile, Egypt, and Korea. Well, my dad is from everything I said, and my mom is from Korea.” I laugh, “Wow, no wonder you have good looks.” I remember about Jungkook when I look at him, except a taller, skinnier, wider eyes version of him “And I am from here, the US, and Mexico. My dad is American and my mom was Mexican.” I continued, but he frowned.
“What do you mean ‘was’?”
“Well, my mom died 2 yea-”
“Excuse me, Ms. your boba’s are ready.”
I look up to see that the lady is looking at me. “Well, here. Take it. The boba.” he nods, taking it. He sips and smiles, “This is good, well I have to go.” he says. I nod, “Yeah me too, my...step-moth-someone is waiting for me. Bye.” He waved and turned around. I wave back towards his back. Well, it's good to know that no one is waiting for me.
*Special Bonus because why not and i’m bored*
*Gen’s P.O.V*
I remember how it felt to feel the despair of someone. It happens everyday...well not everyday. Well, yes everyday. But I'm not the one who takes charge. Only a few times. 835 times in my life. But never this much. I saw what she saw. The car. I followed her. I saw her cry in the night by herself in her room, all alone. I felt great guilt, because no one was there but I could have been there but we didn't even know each other at the time. No, wait, let me rephrase, she did not know me back then. I knew everything about her. I called the H.O.G and they asked me if I was helping. I said, “Yes, well I will because I really haven't gotten the chance.” I could sense them frown, “Yes, okay. You better help her tomorrow.” The next day I filled her heart with the feeling of love after her friend said all cheesy stuff, so it could seem natural. (You might be thinking: This is boring. Well guess what, it's the authors fault, she is bored. And she needs to get 500 words written so she decided to write this bonus. Let's continue though) I know it is weird but I had to call her “hun bun” in order to start a conversation. Do you ever meet those people who talk to you and you just realize that you get along with them after they just talk and you respond? Well it was like that. Sort of. But we got along just well. And by the end I had this feeling that I never had, at all. I didn't know what it was, and I still don't know. I think it is something called ‘Joy’.
